   Summary

   🗡️ Our favorite Imogen/Garrick moments from the Empyrean series, re-written from their point of view. Some scenes have added content, but we're sticking to canon.

   🔎 This is a collection of stand-alone chapters. If you're looking for a longer, ongoing, canon-compliant fic, The Things We Do For Armies & Allies is my other work that features Mira & Drake.

   🫶 Don't mind the "13" chapter count. This is an ongoing WIP that will have at least 13 chapters, but there will also be an unknown number of chapters added after the release of books 4 & 5 as well.
