Summary
It was highly inconvenient to find myself transformed into a crow in the Imperial Apartments, and somewhat alarming when I discovered that I could not access my magic, and therefore could not turn back.
...
The small room was empty, and dark. A single patch of silvery moonlight picked out a fluffy piece of fabric draped over the back of the long couch.
Cliopher stared for a long moment, then became aware of movement by his feet. He looked down. The large black crow had landed beside him in a splatter of ink, and was regarding him solemnly with one gold-rimmed black eye.
“She’s taken him,” he said, softly.

Summary
Rhodin was aware that his job required a certain ambiguity; a certain emptiness; the lack of his heart did not, generally, trouble him. One would have to have a heart to miss a heart. He had his safeguards. And yet, the thought that he might be learning to be as wise as his dear imposter was a consolation for the lack he did not feel. The ambiguity might yet resolve into seeing the world as she saw it: fractured, and glorious, and mirrored, and whole; an iridescent vision from a dragonfly’s multifaceted eye.
Side fic for Tenebra, or The Crow - takes place immediately after Chapter 18. Probably quite confusing if you've not read at least that much of Tenebra <3

Summary
With one thing and another, Fitzroy and Cliopher had both been in a more-than-usually fragile state when they came home to find the six-foot lizard basking on the doorstep.
Their faravia so far had been. Complicated.
NB: this fic is a sequel set some time after Tenebra, or The Crow which is an AU diverging from an early point in Hands of the Emperor. While there are a number of differences from canon, much has remained the same, and I think this makes sense without having read that (rather long!) fic first
