    Summary

    George was doing his best.

    He’d fallen into a coma while their empire was in the middle of a war and woken to find that said war was over, the bearer that he’d thought was a peacekeeper had been kidnapped, his father was dead, and one of his closest friends had gone feral. Now he’s neck deep in noble politics as he’s shoved into the role of young duke for a family that actively despises him, trying to honor a legacy he didn’t actually want while repairing what was left of his support structure when all of them seem more than eager to move on.

    But if George was anything, it was a survivor, and he hadn’t come this far just to give up when things had gotten difficult. He was going to honor Eret’s legacy, or he would die trying.

    Sequel/Companion Piece to ‘Stars, I Trust’ and ‘From Under a Layer of Frost’.

    THE SHORT OF IT: A Fantasy/Royalty AU that features unconventional A/B/O dynamics, political worldbuilding, a heavy emphasis on trauma recovery and found family dynamics, and soap-opera levels of non-communication. See forenotes for more details.
