    Summary

    Trish survived Solstice. She survived the prison, the revolution, the long winter, and most important of all, she survived the Affini. So many others were taken, domesticated, made into nothing more than pets for humanity's new overlords, but Trish escaped that fate. Entrusted with a plan to keep the last embers of humanity's freedom alive, she labored for decades to make those plans a reality — but now the past is catching up with her, in more ways than one.

     

    Haven did not choose to be a scion of the hyper-wealthy elite, nor did she choose a father obsessed with his own progeny, and she certainly didn't choose to inherit his genetic legacy. Cast adrift on the tides of time by her father's cryogenic Hail-Mary attempt to evade the Affini, she awakens in a future dominated and defined by the Compact, where the only humans left who remember how things used to be are her now-elderly peers. Having spent her entire life wishing she had the courage to end everything, now she's faced with a new beginning, whether she wants it or not.

    Summary

    Something in G’raha stirs. He wants to hook his fingers under that knot and pull, see the Warrior’s eyes slide shut and his mouth open. He wants to erase this awful weight; wants the only fate Arkin feels the tug of to be the one right before them, narrowed to this moment.

    Or: The Warrior of Light knows how to tie himself up. After enduring a century of longing, the Crystal Exarch knows too.

    Summary

    The first time it happened was the third time they’d had sex, and Chuuya pulled away as soon as he noticed it. “Are you okay?” he asked.
    Dazai gave him a confused look. Chuuya felt a wave of relief at making the right decision—Dazai just hadn’t been enjoying it. He maybe hadn’t even known that he hadn’t been enjoying it. The relief grew into pity.
    “I’m okay,” Dazai said, predictably.

    Summary

    Stelmaria had always—even in the early days, when his eyes were mismatched and she held a bow instead of an epée—had trouble meeting those striking eyes. 

    She felt unbearably seen by them.

    The worst, most revolting parts of her turned over, accepted and adored. 

    Her past and future laid before him for his perusal. 

    All of her deception and subterfuge laid to waste in his sanguine gaze.

    Emet-Selch lingers like an impolite ghost in the back of G'raha and Stelmaria's minds, even after everything. Suffice to say, they don't handle it well.
