    Summary

    The man tosses the towel unceremoniously back at Mo Ran’s chest, like he’s personally offended by it. And the fact that his hands had just been all over said chest barely minutes earlier, maybe.
     
    “Please pack a box of egg tarts with extra custard filling, a box of red bean paste buns with extra syrup, a rice pudding with extra candied fruit garnish, and a box of osmanthus cakes with extra sweet pear jam.”
     
    Mo Ran’s eyes grow progressively wider as he lists the items. 
     
    It’s him.
     
    Not the suburban mother of four, not the elderly guy dealing with a midlife crisis, but quite possibly the hottest guy he’s ever seen. Who also happens to have the highest sugar tolerance Mo Ran has seen in a human being in his two years of running this bakery.

    Summary

    they have his mother's eyes, these would-be velaryon boys. not those of their own mother, but his. the king stretches limbs and smiles wide, heedless of his brother's fury mingled with agony, his daughter's frozen gaze. fire and blood has reunited. all must be well. the king thinks nothing of the prince's lack of mourning blacks, for the whole kingdom knew the wife daemon targaryen sought was never found in the vale.

    ten years after the godsforsaken night in the brothel, daemon targaryen makes his return to court to find it infested with vipers that threaten to coil lethal bodies around his niece. his niece and the nephews that bear his features yet claim the name velaryon. the rogue prince has returned, and a reckoning is set to begin.

    Summary

    “So, this Melkor. How do you feel when he looks at you?”

    Like I’ve swallowed lava and it’s burning me from the inside out. Like I’m poised on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the drop below, butterflies in my stomach and thunder in my heart. Like I’ve sunk down to the ocean floor, down where there is nothing but darkness and the ghostly white light of ancient things, unseen by any until now, until me.

    *

    In which love doesn’t come without work, walls built and broken, trust that must be tended as diligently as any growing thing.

    Melkor and Mairon, in the present day.

    Summary

    Fëanáro was not frightened. His resolute spirit was not inclined toward such a base emotion, least of all in the presence of Mahtan’s younger daughter.

    Nevertheless, he stood in the doorway of Nerdanel’s workshop for several minutes before entering, in what in a lesser elf might be seen as hesitation. He watched her as she flitted back and forth around her current project, every movement of her body as much a work of art as the statue she chipped away at.

    The statue whose identity he still could not determine.
