Summary
For a week he hung about town, thoroughly bored, doing little except drift between his hotel, the Long Bar at the Trocadero, the American Bar at the Alhambra, or anywhere he thought he might strike somebody he knew, home on leave from the Front. The weather was cold and wet and he looked forward joyfully to his return to the Squadron.

one for sorrow, two for joy by Ariaste
Fandoms: The Hands of the Emperor - Victoria Goddard

Summary
The Emperors of Astandalas did not have daemons.
Cliopher knew this could not, technically, be true. Thinking this thought, even in the quietest whisper in his deepest heart of hearts, was undeniably treason, but…. facts were facts: The Emperors of Astandalas, though worshipped as gods on earth, were each of them born a human being before they were apotheosized by the crown and by law and custom. Every human being had a soul; therefore, every human being had a daemon.
So the Emperors of Astandalas must have had daemons.
But by tradition and ritual and magic and taboo: The Emperors of Astandalas did not have daemons.

The Hunger of the Shadows by Quente

Summary
I wrote this piece to answer a few questions bopping around in my head:
-- What would Celehar notice if he saw Maia again after some time in Amalo?
-- Are there ghosts in the Untheileinese court, and if so, what would they be like?
-- Can I please have a lot more Captain Orthema? He's hot as ****.
-- When will A3 workers unionize?Anyway.
This is a "mystery," or whatever we call Celehar living his Witness vel ama life.
It takes place immediately after the last page of Witness but before Grief. It is a mystery with a slight horror edge, and as such has canon-appropriate mentions of monsters, suicide, and painful memories; but also warm blankets, good tea, pro-labor socialism, lurid novels, and the kindness of an emperor.

Summary
“I love you, and I’m forming a committee about it.”
Fitzroy spluttered on a laugh. “A committee? And what is the purpose of this committee, my Lord Mdang? I believe it has to be, what, two sentences or less?”
“The purpose is to love you.”
“Ah, truly poetic simplicity,”
***
Cliopher gets his shit together, weaponizes parliamentary procedure in his own brain, and finally does some self-examination and clear communication. Fitzroy is just happy to be here.
