    Summary

    They are on the road when the rumours first reach them. Dol-Makjar is in chaos, in uprising, and this newborn revolution already has its first martyr. They say that when it became known what the Halovar had been trading away to the hells that the people surged in protest to their gates, and the Halovar lost control of their demons. They say that Captain Nayar broke ranks with the Sundered Houses in defense of the crowd, and many of his guard followed. They say that he rallied them with a display of sorcery so fierce it could only be old-blooded, that as he fell you could see in the smoke and sparks the form of a dragon roaring in anguish. The bold, excitable and perhaps foolish talk of lost great Houses, speak the name of Obridai with breathless eager voices. Risen from the ashes in Dol-Makjar’s, and perhaps Araman’s, darkest hours.

    Julien and the others have barely had time to steady themselves after this new loss when two pigeons arrive, speaking with Murray and Hal's voices.

    “We’re sending the stupid brave fucking idiot to you. Hide him ‘til he’s recovered. Tie him down if you have to.”

    “Please take care of Azune, don’t let him hear it all at once. Poetic licence may have gotten the better of me.”

    Summary

    That Azune has taken him in with a degree of politeness and accommodation that is almost deferential makes it fucking worse, actually. You can’t complain that loud at someone who gave you the only bed and heads out no matter the hour to fetch any cheese or pastry or wine you ask for.

    Fuck. There’s just nothing to do in here.

    (Prompt summary: Azune asks Julien for sex tips/stories for the purpose of being a better honeypot. Julien is extremely upset when he finds out. Full: criticalkink.dreamwidth.org/6355.html?thread=2261971#cmt2261971)

    Summary

    A last desperate leap of faith, a gamble or perhaps simply a foolish step taken by people with nothing left to lose, in a world running out of time to be saved.

    A wedding. A political and magical alliance.

    A ritual on a windswept cliff beneath an indifferent sky, the exchange of souls and blood, of rings and kisses that seal two fates together – completely, irrevocably.

    or: Julien and Occtis get married following their houses' customs, and Julien likes the Tachonis ones more than he thought he would.

    Summary

    “Pop punk band Trojan Horse makes headlines for their rapid increase in popularity! Taking over the West Coast’s garage band scene, they’ve sold out shows and are working on yet another album release! Come back later for an in-depth interview with lead singer and guitarist, Jeremy Knox, for an exclusive look at their musical process—”

    Jean turns the TV off with a scowl. When Kevin had suggested a band with an opening for a bassist, Jean didn’t expect it to be them; he’d rather die than sing of sunshine and rainbows.

    i'll be killed regardless for trying to sing at all.

    After Evermore’s decline, lead bassist Jean Moreau struggles to decide where to go next.

    Trojan Horse happens to have just the opening, even if they’re everything Jean was programmed to stand against.
