    Summary


    Lady Sloane Mairi never entered the Quadrant or bonded a dragon. Instead, she’s spent the last decade exasperating her aristocratic guardians, who expect her to do little besides mind her manners, smile pretty, and marry well. So when a politically-advantageous betrothal is finally secured, Sloane figures an arranged marriage will at least grant her some autonomy. After all, how hard is it to handle a husband?

    As it turns out, pretty damn hard, because the broad shoulders waiting at the end of the aisle belong to Colonel Dain Aetos, a jaded officer who gave everything to the war effort...and is decidedly Not Amused to find himself bringing home a tempestuous heiress.

    Bound by law for the next four months, the couple merely has to endure their handfasting and they are free to part ways. But past wounds want healing, unexpected bonds demand forging, and blistering chemistry promises to set their plans aflame.

    ****

    (Or, the arranged marriage, post-war, grumpy-gremlin AU in which Sloane is the feisty aristocrat who never went to Basgiath and Dain is the decorated war hero who is barely holding it together)

    Summary

    She pushes, he pulls.
    She breaks, he bends.
    He's order, she's chaos.
    He gives, she takes.

    It doesn't matter how much she hates him or how hard he tries to run. In the end, balance will always find each other.

    Summary

    In the end, it is Dain who finds her. Just like in her dream, he’s in her line of sight all of a sudden. A handful of steps separate them when she first spots him, but miraculously, he’s heading straight toward her. [...]

    She’s been daydreaming about something like this, in one variation or another, for what feels like forever. It’s just that this time, it’s real. After months of dreaming – dreading, hoping, craving – it’s finally real; he’s here and he wants her. Delicately, Sloane wraps her hands around Dain’s wrists. Her thumbs stroke along the softer skin on the inside, caressing his pulse points in a slow, steady rhythm. His eyes are wide with wonder, his usual deep brown an almost amber hue in the soft light of the emerging dawn [...] when Sloane slowly, consciously, raises his hands to her face and presses both of his palms to her cheeks.

    (A chronology of Sloane’s feelings about Dain touching her face or, five times Sloane Mairi dreams of Dain Aetos touching her face and one time he actually does.)

    Summary

    "Slowly," Dain guides her, his voice breathless and hoarse. "Use me. Take what you need."

    Dain and Sloane find comfort in each other after the Battle of Draithus. Shameless smut.
