Summary
She should have known.
Ranni should have suspected that the Queen Eternal and her wretch of an Order wouldn’t be satisfied with merely clipping her wings but would seek to rip them out entirely. How foolish was her hope to be left alone, to wallow in the bitterness of failure in peace! Instead, they would see her dragged to the Capital, to become their laughingstock. Or worse.
In the hope of reviving the alliance between the Carian Royal House and the Golden Order, the Elden Lord proposes to wed his daughter, the Lunar Princess Ranni to Prince Godwyn. Neither are satisfied with the match.

Summary
The serpent's dark urges surged through him like an echo, its possessive claim on her mirrored in his own.
It wanted her. All of her.
It craved her skin beneath his hands, the sound of her breathless voice, the way her body moved with his.
And for once, in his long and cursed life, their motives, their desires, aligned perfectly.
How could a lowborn Tarnished fall for a Demigod? How could she ever expect him to return such feelings? Yet Aria finds herself drawn to Messmer the Impaler at first sight, a terrible idea made worse when he had decided, in his own twisted logic, that Grace had delivered her to him. And what did he do with gifts? He kept them.

Summary
An exhausted pyrefly with tattered wings flounders over a war-torn land, desperately searching for a safe place to endure the suffering of what remains of her broken existence.
An abandoned flame with burned faith smolders inside a shadowed castle, desperately yearning for the one who will end the suffering of what had been his cursed existence.
Both seek a death that they could never hope to truly obtain. Even still, future life can be found amongst the ashes of past sins—sins that barely separate a lowly Tarnished from a lofty demigod.
Be it in death, or in life, black pyreflies and serpentine embers are destined to be found alongside one another. So long as they find the strength to persevere…

Summary
She wakes up next to the grace: her bones feel like molten metal, reforming in a cloud of agony, her flesh takes shape inside of her as she grits her teeth not to scream.
Soon enough the pain, the exhaustion feels like a terrible dream.
She leans to the side of the door but there’s only common foot soldiers: despite their numbers and weaponry, not seeing the looming shadow again is a weird comfort.
Margit the Fell.
Ofnir surely forgot to mention him, not that he gave her any useful information. Only threats and duties.Still, she will do what she must to go make a safe world for her daughter.
