    Summary

    When soldiers drag Daniil from the Stillwater, he resigns himself to being brought back to the Capital in chains. To humiliation and eventual imprisonment, but Artemy Burakh has never known when to accept that someone is beyond saving.

    His reckless intervention leaves them handcuffed together and stranded in the steppe, with soldiers close on their heels and days of wilderness between them and the town. Only together can they survive long enough to reach it, but with his work and life as he knew it already destroyed, does Daniil truly want to?

    Summary

    A day in the life of Ned Little and Georgie Hodgson, where they discover new ways to cherish themselves and each other—body and soul.
    Meet Edward. He’s nothing special. At least, that’s what he believes—hardly worth talking about.

    So instead let’s meet Edward’s girlfriend, Georgie. She’s gorgeous. Or, as she likes to put it, georgious. Golden hair cut into the pixie style of the ’60s actresses she adores, wide sapphire eyes, a ever-smiling face like a sunny day. All atop the tall, lithe body of a runway model. You can’t miss the moment she enters a room, standing a head above the crowd, her stance as confident as her takes on the French New Wave.

    Sometimes Edward thinks her only flaw is poor judgment—or maybe poor eyesight—because he can’t fathom why she’d choose to be with him of all people. At times he’s convinced his sole purpose is to persuade Georgie she could do better. Fortunately for him, Georgie tends to have her own opinions on such matters.

    Summary

    The Franklin Expedition is trapped in pack ice on their quest for the Northwest Passage. Instead of a Tuunbaq, they've brought their own monster with them. Time and reality bleed away as John Irving discovers that he is especially susceptible prey.

    Or; What if a ship was a haunted house? What if a ship was a coffin? What if a ship was an abandoned church?
    What if a story containing all those things was also a romance, and what if a romance didn't necessitate a happy ending, or an ending at all?

    Or; John Irving is the heroine in a gothic romance/paranormal romance/harem anime. It's spooky, sentimental, and soaked in blood.

    Summary

    In which the Haruspex dies at his old friend's hands, but won't leave the stage so easily.

    -

    The light ended at Artemy’s chest; everything above it was darkness, no way of seeing whether he still wore that blood around his mouth or that question - Why? - in his unblinking eyes.

    “You’re not here,” Stakh said, a dry murmur sticking to the roof of his mouth.

    “Where else should I be?” Artemy stood too still for a man speaking, drained of all the small movements Stakh had taken for granted as part of someone alive. “Nowhere else was safe. The town was hunting me. I came looking for a friend I could count on, someone who would believe me.”

    Summary

    Edward Little had always fancied himself a man who disliked eccentricity. It had struck him as a garish, selfish trait to possess, insincere far past ridiculous.

    He had fancied himself a man who disliked eccentricity, and yet the more contact he’d had with Lieutenant Hodgson’s eccentricities, the more harmless - even charming - they had seemed.

     

    Little returns from the Open Water Ambush down a Captain but up a Lieutenant. The trouble is that Lieutenant Hodgson isn't as he remembered him.
