Summary
The Warrior of Light has given herself to serving in the Imperial Army, all in an effort to relay information to her Scions and see the Empire crumble from within. Though it perhaps works too well when she finds herself in the Imperial throne room being offered a position as the Emperor's bodyguard. By the Emperor's side her cover grows yet more precarious, especially given Solus' surprising and strange affinity for her. An affinity that she finds she also shares in.

Summary
One day all eyes are on her, expectantly watching and anticipating news of her upcoming engagement, and the next, through nothing but a series of unfortunate circumstances, they are on her for a very different reason. Scandals spread faster than the best of news, and assumptions have a tendency to stick around, becoming almost impervious to the truth. It's a lesson Eliza learns in the harshest way possible.

Summary
"Fighting will burn the energy and tension out. Not as well as the other, but it will work if there is no suitable person or persons around."
Purple and gold eyes both blink at that last statement.
"No 'suitable' persons?" The owner of the first set echoes her words. Why, she wonders, does that sound like he's taken insult where there is none to be had?
"Meaning what exactly?"
"Meaning no compatible partners in which to share my bed with." Vala snaps at Emet-Selch and his damnable questions. "I will not take just anyone to soothe the burn; to be invited is to be acknowledged as someone safe, someone who can be trusted when my people are at our most vulnerable."

Summary
Hades places one hand over Zag’s head, careful to make the touch soft, barely noticeable. He doubts he’s ever done this, pat his son on the head. Or touched him at all in a manner that did not hurt him. Not in years at least.
(I’m sorry, he does not say.)
With his other hand, he snaps his fingers.
Or: Zagreus is cursed to forget each time he dies.
