Summary
Hans Capon has no shortage of enemies who threaten his greatest secret. Will his undoing be a meddling uncle, a bride who knows too much, or the Royal Chamberlain with his clever schemes?
Leaving the ashes of Suchdol behind, Hans and Henry ride east—eager to outrun duty, wedding bells, and perhaps even Lady Fortuna herself.
But a trail of stolen silver and a missing horse soon drag them back into a war that refuses to end, even without a king on the throne.
How long can Hans and Hal keep their love hidden? And when it comes to light—will it be enough to hold them together, or will the world tear them apart?
This fic follows Lord of the Distant Isles but can be read on its own. Updates Sundays (or Mondays) and Fridays.

Summary
You’ve done it! You’ve realized all the objects in your house and finally made them into humans who can go off and live their own lives! Unfortunately, it looks like you didn’t think this through all the way.
Dorian has gone off on his own to work in the nightclub scene as a bouncer—a job that just seemed right for him—but he’s begun to notice the disturbing cognitive effects of the realization process. He looks human, he sounds human, and he has a human job, but is still haunted by the memory of being an inanimate door everywhere he looks.
Unbeknownst to you are the deep and tangled psychological consequences of realization. Dorian was supposed to be a human. He was never supposed to be feeling this way! Can he truly embrace humanity… or is a door all he’ll ever be?
