    Summary

    She picks it up by its scruff, shaking off the thin layer of snow as she does, and squints at the pair of wide blue eyes that stare back at her.

    A child with watery eyes, and a trembling mouth that barely opens around another pitiful—hurt—sound. She glances down where the boy clutches at his arm, holding it close against his chest, and registers the injury. Skirk leans in closer to take a sniff, and rather curiously, there is no acrid scent of a beast, or something rotten as the monsters here usually were; instead it is a rather pleasant smell that comes from the child, berries and saltwater, something entirely human.

    From the depths comes an Abyss-borne warrior.

    Summary

    It starts like this:

    Ningguang and Raiden Ei apply for the same university, together. Ei had promised not to apply until Ningguang could. At twenty-two (and a half, as Ei always insists), both of them are almost immediately accepted. There, they make friendships—old and new—and life seems to start falling into place. Well, at least it was here.

    Summary

    Twenty years after the Trifecta lost control of Nikan to Hesperian occupation, the mainland Republic and the independent island kingdom of Speer have an uneasy truce. A young Seer, sent south to settle a years-old blood debt, is delivered to the island by Hesperian captors as a peace offering.

    In reality, Chaghan is as much a would-be assassin as he is a captive. The Hesperians’ political machinations mean nothing to him, but with his life – and more importantly, his sister – on the line, he has no choice but to play their game.

    Unfortunately, the Speerlies are kinder than he’d expected, despite the Trifecta’s poisonous presence. There’s something about their Prince he can’t help but notice – a haunted look in his eyes that he can’t quite hide, the lingering smell of smoke in his hair.

    He just needs Altan to take these damn bracelets off him so he can kill him already.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, there were three god-kings who loved Ay-Khanoum more than anything else but each other. They were three - dreamer, sage, ruler.

    Once upon a time, the dreamer sought an end of her own choosing, and the flowers wilted with her.

    Once upon a time, the ruler sought knowledge too deep, and the plague spread with him.

    Once upon a time, the sage picked up the pieces of her friends, and left behind a child when the Calamity struck.

    (Once upon a time, there was an otherworldly star born from a dying hope for a civilization long gone. Once upon a time, there was a chessboard in a plane of existence no one could ever begin to comprehend.)

    Once upon a time, there were three allogenes who loved Sumeru and protected it with all that they could. They were three - dancer, scholar, soldier.

    Once upon a time, the God of Dreams dreamt.

     

    OR: In which Nilou, Cyno and Tighnari are a not-quite mixture of god-king, human and something else. This changes everything.

    Summary

    As the oldest son of the Karasuma house, Rei would normally be next in line as head of the family.

    But born without powers of his own, all he can do is help raise his younger brothers into strong exorcists.

    He tries his best to be useful, but sometimes it feels like all he does is cause trouble.
