Summary
They’ve locked the mud saint in the church kitchen. They’ve left the big industrial oven on, with its door open, in the hopes that the heat will dry him out enough that they can wrestle him onto the kiln car tomorrow in one piece.
What if it’s not that he’s lost his nerve, lost his faith, lost his reason?
What if he’s closer to the god now than he's ever been?
******
Shortly after rejoining the Parish of Tide and Flesh, a young Carpenter is sent out in search of lost brethren of the river. What she finds only raises more questions. -

Summary
Makalaurë raise your wards and sing the starlight down
There’s wizards in the Shire and old Sharkey’s come to town
And if you win you get the years of peace we all desire
But if you lose then Sharkey gets the Shire...The duel of Sharkey and Old Maggie Took, renowned in song. At least in Hobbit song.

Summary
My dearest Water Buffalo,
Three times I have written this letter out, three times approached a crisis point, three times made provision for the outcome where I do not survive. Three times I have written this letter out, and each time I have felt the relief that comes with undoing a lie. Three times I have written this letter out and three times torn it up. One more crisis passed, one more road taken on the branching path, one more chance to do the right thing before there are no branches left on my path at all.

Innocent by thearrogantemu for schneefink

Summary
Deka fell silent, and I saw him trace the sigil on his forehead with a finger in an almost unconscious gesture.
“That made her angry,” he said after a long moment, “and so… She wanted to hurt me like I’d hurt her. She asked our mother to have my mark filled in before I was sent away. So she would have nothing to fear from me, she said.”
I let out a long sigh. Was this the girl who’d refused to choose between her innocence and her brother’s life? Oh well.
“It was nice while it lasted,” I said aloud.
