Summary
When the pirate ship Aljana happens across a wreck in the depths of f-space, Captain Marouane takes it upon himself to rescue the lone survivor: a deck apprentice of the Lourguinnais merchant marine, one M. Bouchard. Bouchard is self-righteous, judgmental, argumentative—and profoundly attractive, damn him. It is far too easy to become excessively attached to him; and while he may not be a pirate, that does not mean he is not a liar, and it does not mean he is not keeping some particularly important secrets.

Summary
Five years ago, Lucas Portstrong tried to be a savior.
He offered a starving street kid a bath, a meal, and a moment of dignity. In return, he got a lesson in just how cruel the world could be.
When a stowaway tumbles out of a barrel on his ship, he recognizes the boy immediately.This time, Lucas has the power. He could take his justice.
He should.
But the boy standing before him is nothing like the thief he remembers.
And for all his power, Lucas is proving remarkably bad at knowing what to do with it.Series

Summary
Damianos is being sent to the prince of Kumat, who will take him as a husband; this is among the terms of the treaty that will end the war at last. Unless, presumably, he displeases the prince and is executed, which seems to him as though it is all too likely. But perhaps they will only dislike each other a little. Perhaps the prince will find Damianos's looks to his taste, and be willing to fuck Damianos at least the necessary once. That would not be so bad.
It is too improbable to be worth contemplating, that perhaps they will each please the other very much indeed, and like each other, and be happy. Far, far too improbable. And even if by some chance it were so—too many dangers would yet remain for it to have any hope of lasting.

Summary
Alastor can admit, in the silence of his own head as he walks away from the first official overlord meeting since the Extermination Day that Wasn’t, that Charlie MIGHT have been right. He probably should have stayed home.
Not that he’d tell the girl that under pain of torture - that kind of hand-wringing and fretting wasn’t the sort of thing that should be encouraged in anyone, least of all the Princess of Hell.
