    Summary

    A hand lands on Julien's shoulder as he curses and swears. His arm aches. Tears crowd into his eyes, betraying his body with their very presence. 

    "You went for my heart," Vaelus says quietly. Her voice is cool like riverwater, even-keeled and sure. "That was a killing blow." 

    "Fuck," Julien spits. He tries to wriggle out of her grip, but she holds firm. Her other arm is pressed down against his collarbone now, keeping him pinned uncomfortably on the ground. "I thought you were one of them! I had no way to know." 

    "You're eager to get into another fight tonight, Sir Davinos."

    Julien's emotions are pent-up to a dangerous degree.
    Vaelus has a lot of patience. And a lot of practice with restraints.

    Summary

    It wasn’t consecution.

    How could it be? Essek wasn’t consecuted. Even if he had been, consecution didn’t work like this. He’d know if it did; he’d spent years searching for any scrap of information about what was happening to him.

    He found nothing.

    -*-

    Every time Essek dies, he wakes up on the day he meets the Mighty Nein. He's tried everything to avoid, subvert or kill them, but so far nothing has worked. He's already died fifteen times. He refuses to die a sixteenth.

    Summary

    Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.

    Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.
