    Summary

    Virgil was wrong. He had excellent restraint.

    Commander Jean-Pardieu Beauchamp of the Earth Directorate remained unharmed, despite everything.

    (He wanted to break every single one of those maledict fingers.)

    OR

    She tried to scoff. It turned into a sigh. “Not everything is worth gambling on, Pardy. This wouldn’t be a problem if you’d just stop.”

    The winning smile turned coy. “See, that right there? That’s the difference between us,” he said, lifting his index finger and gesturing conspiratorially with it. “With A.C. folks, Order folks, Protectorate folks, even Aza’s little cult: you all think the whole Universe can be broken down into tidy little production quotas, a list of product values- sums and totals and summary executions. A Universal Equation, a Paradigm, a Grand Architect waiting on the other side of a rift... or a long black number on a bottom line.” He leaned towards her conspiratorially. “Everything in this life is a gamble, Inez. All that really matters is how you’re betting.”

    Summary

    It had been an affront to the gloriousness of the Protectorate way of life, and specifically to those who gave their lives to serve the Sovereign. It was a besmirching of the dignified office of the Arbiter. He had identified the contaminant, isolated it, and initiated its definitive, thermal disposal. The matter was closed. Expediently.

    So now, a new and more perplexing variable presented itself: why was the Commander (his paramour of sorts, though he privately loathed the frivolous sound of the word) standing in the precise geometric centre of his tiny quarters? And why was she holding the offending material, which by all laws of physics and justice should now be a faint memory? More critically, why did her face possess the unique hue and tense rigidity of someone who might, at any moment, achieve spontaneous combustion purely through the power of profound embarrassment?

    (Or, Tristan has a new romance serial in his collection, but is too dense to figure out who the stars of it are meant to be…)

    Summary

    In the time between that red light going on and his receiving the signal to continue, he had been assessed. His crime had been considered, weighed, and ultimately allowed to pass unpunished. Whoever lay on the other side of that wall had a far more merciful temperament than he.

    With the clear eyes afforded to him by release, he understood that he’d not only breached protocol, but breached it in a way that could have been disastrous.

    There are always options for someone who worries about the complications their authority might bring to intimacy. Unfortunately, anonymity comes with its own set of complicating factors.

    Summary

    Luck and likeability are both valuable traits in a superior officer. A likeable superior is easy to follow; a lucky one won’t get you killed.

    “And, uh... Tristan, if you want to... ‘visit a friend’ too, that’s fine? I’m not your boss.”

    More important, however, is the ability to take charge and make hard decisions.

    “I wouldn’t be so quick to denounce your authority, Commander. If you do, Arbiter Rao may feel he has a responsibility to no longer tolerate the continued presence of traitors and malefactors on this vessel- and I would prefer to avoid removing a familiar variable from the Equation unless absolutely necessary.”

    Unfortunately for Commander Lane Perry, a surplus of the former is not an adequate substitute for an absence of the latter.

    Summary

    Before Horizon Point, Niles was with the Incognito for six months – not counting hibernation stints.

    In the grand scheme of things, it really wasn’t that long – he was at the Academy longer, hell, there are people he met when he was running with Zeb that he knew longer, spent more time in the field with – but he fell hard for the Incognito, for her little crew, for their chatty, principled Commander. Back then he’d be happy to follow him into the jaws of hell and back; would follow his lead unquestioningly, knowing instinctively they were doing the right thing.

    Now, though, things hit different.

    Summary

    Tristan is mad at his Commander because she won't stop annoying him, and is making him question everything he has known as an Arbiter. So he goes to her room to lay down the law, but it goes south because he finds her just as attractive as he does aggravating.

    Summary

    "Ten years in a cryo-pod, and she fell in love with the most unsuitable man in the galaxy. Who didn't even notice her as a woman."

    Arbiter Tristan Rao is order, law, and judgment incarnate. The Commander is chaos, pragmatism, and survival. He is her tank, her critic, and the source of a furious, secret yearning that she buries deep. He is also, completely and utterly oblivious to the torturous effect he has on her.

    Summary
