Summary
Vimes knows about stoker Blakes's identity and he cannot stop thinking about it. Vetinari is more than willing to give him more to think about.
"The room was horribly quiet which only allowed the memories of sounds on the train's steering deck to resonate in Vimes’s ears louder. Constable Visit told him some time ago about a man in the desert who could hear gods speak and had such a good memory that he never forgot a single detail and Vimes felt as if he temporarily borrowed this ability. He wanted more of those moments to remember. He took a deep breath.
“I know it was you.”
“So I gathered.”
Vimes glanced at his boss and noticed he was smiling."

Incandescent as the Sun by Witgifu for lux_arcana
Fandoms: Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard
14 Feb 2026

Summary
“Oh, very good, my lord,” said Cliopher, and unconsciously looked up into the eyes of the Sun-on-Earth. He had known, everyone knew, that the Lord Emperor's gaze could blind. He had broken one of the great taboos.
In canon, the taboo against eye contact was gone. But what if it was only weakened?

Summary
I was so thoroughly outside what you were expected to be, I hardly knew how to speak. Eventually I managed to get out something, because Cliopher looked at me with so much empathy I knew he understood.
My initial, slightly mad thought, was that the Moon Lady came down and assaulted someone at every lunar eclipse in the Vangaveye-ve. But no, if that had been true, Cliopher would have warned us, and the entire party would not have seemed surprised.

No is the hardest word by Witgifu

Summary
My brother gave me that choice. He was everything I had ever hoped for in a husband, everything I had ever dreamed of in a brother, everything one could desire in an Emperor.
I could only stammer, again, that it was his choice, that I was dutiful. I did not know how to say _no_, it was not something anyone had deemed necessary to teach me.

Summary
Rhodin sipped his coffee. “Are us roommates cramping your style?”
“No,” Conju demurred, in a way which clearly meant yes. “I value you all deeply and am satisfied with a . . . laissez-faire . . . living situation in our retirement.”
Ludvic stirred his coffee. Rhodin peeled a banana in a desultory way. They waited.
Conju sighed. “It’s just–“ Ludvic and Rhodin leaned forward as Conju continued, “– why does he have to be underfoot all the time? Overnight?! I came down for a drink last week and nearly broke my neck tripping over a middle-aged aristocrat. It’s undignified.”

All the ashes in my wake by Marayanna
Fandoms: Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard, The Hands of the Emperor - Victoria Goddard
07 May 2023
Tags
Summary
He was returning to this day even long centuries later. Was it his fault? Did he move unexpectedly, impatiently, heedless of the etiquette he scorned so much? Or was he just lost in thought and his movement unthinking, careless? Or was it the woman who made the mistake and for one, terrible moment touched the Emperor’s skin?
But no matter how long he spend thinking about that day, the cruel truth of the matter was that he didn’t pay attention to anything and anyone - that he was so wrapped up in his own suffering, he didn’t even notice anything had gone wrong.
Until she started screaming.
The imperial taboo against touching was the strongest of all.

The Piper by Witgifu

Summary
The Navy ship sailed into Gorjo City harbour on a lovely Monday afternoon. Everyone still remembered Aurelius Magnus coming to ask Elonoa'a to show him the way to Colhélhé. So even if they had little success, nobody resented the Navy trying to recruit. It was good to be remembered as seafarers.
It wasn't until dusk that rumours started flowing down from the Palace. And not in the chattering of children, or the smirks of young men. In the dark looks shared by the elders, and the whispers of servants to trusted messengers.
The Navy is to collect a special tithe. For the ascension of the new Emperor, Shallyr.

how it tastes to be alive by WhenasInSilks

Summary
The roses had withered long since.
Two lonely men, adrift at the end of the world.
--
written for the kink meme prompt: Ludvic has been out in the world for quite a while now. He’s gotten used to the idea of men having sex with each other (he thinks). Doing that himself, though, has always been a step too far. (Probably.)
But it’s the end of the world, and if he’s going to break his own rules, he may as well break them with the one aristocrat in this entire palace who is capable of propositioning him without making him feel like some kind of museum exhibit.

He had told Fitzroy that his meaning of fanoa was archaic. But it wasn’t. It was alive. Because of them. And like Tupaia had told him, living things grow.
Kip wouldn’t lose what he had wanted all his life, just because it might change a little.
That was the way of loving the living.

Summary
ImpSec had somewhat passive-aggressively suggested Byerly Vorrutyer should meet someone that wasn’t for work, because that might be good for him, and you know what? if it wasn't for work, he was going to Vorsades, the masked sex club.
He did, in fact, meet someone.
