    Summary

    Sandrone forces herself to take a deep breath. She feels her eyebrow twitch. The singing continues, the same melody, over and over and over again. She stands up, a couple of screws clattering to the ground, and strides over to the entrance, throwing the doors open. “Columbina!”

    The Damselette trails off in her singing, placid expression completely unperturbed. Sandrone scowls down at the Damselette. Something about her practiced aloofness makes Sandrone want to rip her calm, serene visage to pieces.

    “Shut,” Sandrone hisses, “the fuck up. Some of us have work to do.”

    “Sandrone,” the Damselette says, her voice like the murmur of the wind. “I didn't mean to disturb you.”

    -

    Sandrone's life in the Winter Palace; featuring research work, tea parties, and that one specific colleague that might actually be growing on her. If only she would stop singing all the time.

    Summary

    When she looks up, there’s a man in front of the receptionist desk.

    “Welcome to Wangshu Inn,” she says, eyes wide. She didn’t hear him come in. He smiles impishly, almost childlike. “Are you—“ Verr Goldet gathers her scattered papers. “Are you looking to spend the night?”

    A pretty white flower peeks from his cap. It’s a Cecilia, the ones that grow on Starsnatch Cliff.

    “So this is where he's staying in between his fighting and slaying,” the man remarks in a singsong voice. It's vaguely irritating. “How quaint!”

    Verr Goldet smooths down her wind blown hair and clears her throat pointedly. “How may I help you?”

    His smile widens. “I’ve been looking for a certain patron of yours. I’m not sure what name he goes by now…he has a sharp pointy spear, a permanent scowl on his face?”

    *****

    Verr Goldet gets a strange visitor one night who claims to be looking for her most elusive patron.

    Summary

    Xiao and Barbatos love each other, that is a fact. It's been that way for thousands of years, and if all goes well, it'll be that way for thousands to come. But how did it start? Well, with a meeting of course.

    Accompanying Lord Morax to meet the other Archons was an honor given to the best of Rex Lapis's Adepti, so of course Xiao accepts when he's chosen. He might regret it once there, just slightly, but he just needs to keep it together until the meeting ends, then he can go home and forget everything about the event. That is what he would have done, had he not been followed by a god with big white wings and a bigger heart.

    A warrior with the duty to slaughter and a gentle bard-god don't seem to have a lot in common, but somehow, they both end up being just what the other needs.

    Or, how Xiao and Venti found each other, starting from the very beginning.
