Summary
“I’m not her,” she says, with a warning edge to her voice. “I flatter myself that I did a good job pretending, but I am not her and I am not feeling disposed to be kind.”
This, more than anything, sets his heart racing.
“I’m not looking for your kindness.”
He’s not sure what he would tell her if she asked what he was looking for, but she doesn’t. She just smiles, and it’s all teeth.

Summary
The problem was that at some point in high school Cam had sat down to watch a TV show and thought to herself, hey, there’s a character channeling their repressed desire into single-minded, violent devotion. relatable. And then she had, in turn, repressed the shit out of that thought.
But it’s November 5th, 2020, and Camilla Hect’s Superwholock past is about to catch up with her.

Summary
''We are proud, the men of Minas Tirith,' said Boromir. 'Doubtless you know that already. Or if you do not, you will come to soon enough. Is it not a king's duty to know his people, and to understand them, and to love them for what they are? I can only hope that I am worthy of your rule, though you have not yet come into your crown. I hope that you will recognise my pride, and what it takes for me to cast it aside thus.''
Tormented and caught between temptations on Amon Hen, Boromir seeks out Aragorn. They talk.

Summary
In the fractious and academic Sixth, parenting is often a question of definitions – and Archivist Juno Zeta doesn’t know how to be a parent without being first a teacher and archivist: observing and guiding young Palamedes Sextus as a baby and toddler, discovering power; as a child making his first friend; as a boy falling in love; as a young man seizing the House. She stores it all away in the archive of her soul, as each fades from view.
Palamedes changes everything he touches – the House, the Universe, and perhaps most of all, himself. Juno Zeta was never the type to wander blind – not metaphorically, at least, but in the wake of voting for her home to change forever, and suffering the consequences, she’s in the dark about their new future - and about that new person, to whom she does not know if she’s parent, or teacher, or archivist. Paul hopes to shed a little light for them both.
Written for The Locked Tomb Big Resurrection Event 2023.

Summary
Palamedes--not one to take boredom well--remembers broken architecture, an ancient facility, and a feeling he can't quite place.
It's not at Canaan House, though, it's under the Library. Camilla, age 7, has fallen through the floor.
That’s just how the Library works. If you’re not quick enough to get yourself into trouble by night and finish the forms for it by morning, you’re not going to be a Scholar.

Summary
“I am going to look a fool if you say you don’t want me along with you, Kamet,” he said with a self-deprecating smile.
I looked up at him in silence for a long moment. I thought about the pride Costis took in doing his duty, protecting his king and country, and the conflicting opinions of the two guards outside my door. About how much he might be sacrificing in leaving with me, and how little he could hope to gain in return. I thought about every nasty and uncharitable thought that had ever crossed my mind, every lie I had told him, beginning at the docks of Ianna-Ir. Then I opened my mouth and told the worst lie of all.
“I don’t want you along with me.”
