    Summary

    Not for the first time, Illuga thinks there must be something wrong with him. Maybe he’s been possessed by the Wild Hunt. Maybe the kuuvahki is finally getting to him; one too many mandragoras, or something like that.

    Either way, there has to be a reason. Why else would Illuga keep letting Lohen into his bed? Why else would Illuga allow Lohen to use his body again and again, leaving Illuga with bruised skin, aching bones, and a weary heart?

    ‘Friends with benefits’ is a phrase he’s heard before, and it makes sense. The life of a Lightkeeper can be cold and lonely, so it’s only natural to seek warmth and comfort from another. But Illuga never expected to find himself in such an arrangement, if what they have can even be called that. Lohen’s rough treatment offers no benefits, and they certainly aren’t friends. Illuga doesn’t even like him.

    This can’t possibly be what Flins had in mind when he suggested that Illuga take up a new hobby.

    Summary

    Sunday's contract with the I.P.C. comes with two very strict stipulations:

    1) As part of his assimilation into the mega-corporation post-Penacony, he is expected to earn his freedom through work as another mindless cog in a vast machine.
    2) Sunday is also required to remain under the watchful eye of someone the I.P.C. has deemed fitting, and that person is none other than Aventurine of Stratagems.

    It should be all fine and good, save for Aventurine's incessant teasing. Except that Sunday has stumbled upon a singular, horrible realization:

    Aventurine is - and he's loath to admit such a thing, even to himself - perhaps a teensy bit attractive. Surely, nothing could go wrong.

    Summary

    “Well, here’s the deal,” the captain says as he grabs Sunday’s face with a hand clad in delicate silk. “You come to my ship instead of your sister and, in return, I promise to let her go.”

    Sunday blinks at him in confusion, his brain not quite following the request.

    “Excuse me?”

    The captain laughs, shoving his face away.

    “You seem confused, little birdie. Which part exactly did you not understand?”

    Captured by the eccentric pirate captain Aventurine, Sunday finds himself trapped in a world of chaos where money holds no power, escape is uncertain and the odds are never in his favour

    Summary

    Sunday thought his past was buried with his departure from Penacony.
    Then, Aventurine of the IPC shows up in the Astral Express smiling like he owns the place and acting like Sunday’s downfall intrigued him.
    Old grudges resurface, late night calls happen far too often, and Sunday finds himself caught in a game he swore he’d stopped playing.

    Summary

    "Forgive me, Lord Phainon, I can't help but be curious. How could you possibly not know that Lord Mydei has been your spouse for... four months?"

    "To be honest, Miss Castorice, I haven't the slightest idea."

    Through a series of events that may or may not have involved a Kremnoan courting ritual, Phainon had somehow managed to ask for Mydei's hand in marriage.

    For some reason, Mydei said yes.
