Summary
“You were dying when we found you,” Brand says and Rune knows he’s not seeing the yard but the cell they found him in. “If you’d had an open wound it would be called bleeding out, in water it’s drowning, but you...you were starving.”
“It’s slow and it’s painful and it’s something that takes so much longer to recover from than it does for it to kill you.” Brand finishes, finally looking back at Rune who wishes he hadn’t. Because he sees the end of that statement in those eyes – he's been home for almost the same amount of time he’d been slowly dying.
After seventy-three days, Rune was found.
This is his second month home.Series

Summary
A collection of short scenes from the boys' early (and later) years.
Rune is twelve the one time he beholds his father’s Aspect.
“You’re such a fucking jerk,” Brand hisses at him, arms crossed over his chest. “And you’re not fucking funny.”
“I’m a little funny,” Rune teases, grinning like a madman despite telling himself that he would not lose his composure. He leans back against Brand’s door, attempting nonchalance. “Admit it.”
“You’re not,” the other boy huffs. “And for the record, I wasn’t scared. I was just… a little taken aback, okay?”Series

Summary
Little more than skin stretched over bone, and what skin there was so grimy they’d mistaken his crumpled form for debris left in the cell. His carefully maintained shaggy haircut had grown long and scraggly, matted and clumped with filth none wanted to consider closely. But he had recognized Rune. Just as Addam had. Recognized the body on the floor even as Rune turned from them, refusing to open his eyes and see they were there, that they had come for him.
After seventy-three days, Rune is brought home.
This is the first thirty days he's home.
This is the start of his recovery.Series

Summary
Waking up to a pounding hangover headache was not a completely foreign concept to Max, but it wasn’t a frequent one, so he still found it to be a nuisance. Waking up in an unfamiliar dimly lit room with foamy, soundproofed walls, though, was indeed foreign to him, so that he found to be a bit more worrisome.
And that was before he tried reaching up to rub at his temples, only to discover the enchanted silver cuffs around both wrists. The chains threaded down through the back of a chair and around his ankles, securing all four limbs behind him.
--Max is kidnapped by an old acquaintance of his, on orders from his uncle. Rune gets caught in the crossfire.

Summary
“You’re allowed not to like things even if we do, you know? You’re fucking allowed to come and complain, and if you get on my nerves too much I’ll probably throw youー Can you swim?”
“Yeah.”
“So I’ll probably throw you in the lake if you’re too annoying, but I don’t see why you’d be. It’s not likeー It’s just going to be the three of us, like right now, but somewhere different. It’s not a test, Max. We don’t have expectations or anything, ok?”
Max nods, and he’s already panicking about what to respond to that when Brand continues:
“To tell you the truth, I don’t think Rune likes camping either. So, really, it’s more likely that I’ll be the one at a disadvantage, having to hear the both of you complain.”

Summary
A lot of things change after the disaster in the Westlands. Rune is getting courted. He has a teenager to somehow see through to adulthood. Eyes are swiveling back to the son of the fallen Lord Sun, which is hardly what he wants, but their jobs keep money flowing into Half House, and that's good enough.
The only anchor in Rune's life is the one he's always had: Brand, ready and willing and able to go to war.
OR, after The Last Sun, the secret Rune buried in the bottom of his heart at 13 years old slowly breaks out.

Summary
Addam gets rescued by a hot firefighter and finds out that finding this hot firefighter is a bit harder than in those cheesy movies. But just a bit.

Summary
“No but really,” Quinn said, when they’d finally stopped, “when you’re evil? I defeat you. It’s always us, no matter what order or how upside down we are.”
"Is that so?" Max asked.
Quinn shrugged. “Also after we get to this point.” He held up their hands, where their pinkies were still locked together, “You’re not allowed to become evil. I said so.”

Summary
Non-magic boarding school AU. Possible vague spoilers for The Last Sun.
“Boarding school?” Rune looks at Brand, desperate for backup.
Brand provides it, as always. “We are not going to boarding school. We will run away. You will never find us.”
Their new guardian, aka Anton, aka the Tower, does not look impressed. Or in any way swayed.
“Well,” he says, his voice infuriatingly calm in the face of the two defiant teenagers standing in front of him. “Then I suppose it’s a good thing your new school has more security than the Crown Jewels.”
And, okay, Rune knows this is a serious discussion and the last thing he wants is to be shipped off to boarding school, but the Tower said Crown Jewels and that’s clearly an opening for a joke.
So, he opens his mouth to make one.
