Summary
The hands at his waist grip a little tighter. Qifrey, who has been cautiously opening himself to this kind of physical contact in the past few months, has been surprised to discover that he likes it—being held, pressed, kept tight. It stokes the part of him that is terrified of being trapped, just enough to keep him from relaxing.
It’s precisely this interplay between comfort and uneasiness that made him consider the possibility of using it to their advantage.
(Or: an exploration of trauma, healing and acceptance, of settling into one's own skin, and of what it means to make a home in one's heart.)

Summary
Chime is, apparently, useless. No one else seems to notice or care that their first consort wears almost the exact same jewelry to every formal event.
Really. It's been years.
So River takes matters into his own hands.

Starts vanilla-ish, then ramps up. Liked it more than I thought I would.
ETA: So several months later, and I became obsessed with the series and read the whole thing easily 8 or 10 times. -

Summary
Mitch has never called them ghosts. They're the "Silver People" or, sometimes, the "Silvers" for short. He's seen and talked to them since he was a little kid, and the worst trouble they've ever caused is the occasional cold spot when oblivious living people just can't seem to find the right place to sit. Some Silvers he even loves in a way, like Charles, his nearly constant companion since he and Scott moved into their first L.A. apartment.
The problem is, the Silver People aren't the only things out there. He's seen entities ("entities," for God's sake!) that are grotesque, or creepy, or definitely not something he appreciates encountering in his bathroom in the dead of night. Worst of all, though, is one he hasn't come across in a long, long time, though it's fed his nightmares and haunted the edges of his awareness for nearly twenty years.
The last place he expects to meet it again is in Scott and Mark's living room.

Summary
Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.
But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.
The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.
