    Summary

    ‘Listen to me, Zoya. We’re not dying here, do you understand? You’re not dying here. That’s a direct order from your king. Maybe one day, when I’m old and grey, and you’re still young and beautiful, then you can think about dying, but until then, I forbid it, I forbid you to die, do you understand me?’

    A carriage accident leaves Nikolai and Zoya stranded in the Ravkan wilderness. With Zoya unconscious and a storm raging overhead, Nikolai battles the elements in an attempt to keep his general safe. She can't die, not yet, not when they still have so much life left to live together.

    Summary

    He knows how her skin feels, under his fingers. Or rather he is nearly certain he knows how her skin feels, and the ‘nearly’ of it is driving him to a precarious tap dance on the frayed edge of his sanity.

    aka nikolai and zoya come back from the fold and are just as haunted by every what if and should have been as the rest of us and this time they actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

    Summary

    He visits her room again. Zoya thinks at first that she is imagining the creak of the floorboards in the hall, that she has conjured him to break this deadly silence. She can't bear it alone anymore, it presses against her throat and seeps into her chest. She needs something, anything, to shatter it.

     

    But when she invites him in, he enters and there is suddenly no doubt that he is real. Nikolai smiles, both an apology and a question.

     

    Zoya nods and takes her first real breath of the day.

     

    or, after the Fold, it becomes impossible to sleep alone.
