Summary
Kip curled at the edge of the great bed of the Emperor of Astandalas and wondered why his stomach still lurched as though he were falling.
It was nothing physical. The surface of the bed was secure beneath him, the coverlet warm, the pillows astonishingly comfortable.
He had not known what to expect when he asked the Emperor to continue this pretence of taking him as a concubine. All he knew was that there was a danger to himself, his home, and his family if the nobility of the Empire saw him rejected by the Sun-on-Earth. And so Kip had asked, and the Emperor had agreed.

Summary
The Navy ship sailed into Gorjo City harbour on a lovely Monday afternoon. Everyone still remembered Aurelius Magnus coming to ask Elonoa'a to show him the way to Colhélhé. So even if they had little success, nobody resented the Navy trying to recruit. It was good to be remembered as seafarers.
It wasn't until dusk that rumours started flowing down from the Palace. And not in the chattering of children, or the smirks of young men. In the dark looks shared by the elders, and the whispers of servants to trusted messengers.
The Navy is to collect a special tithe. For the ascension of the new Emperor, Shallyr.

how it tastes to be alive by WhenasInSilks

Summary
The roses had withered long since.
Two lonely men, adrift at the end of the world.
--
written for the kink meme prompt: Ludvic has been out in the world for quite a while now. He’s gotten used to the idea of men having sex with each other (he thinks). Doing that himself, though, has always been a step too far. (Probably.)
But it’s the end of the world, and if he’s going to break his own rules, he may as well break them with the one aristocrat in this entire palace who is capable of propositioning him without making him feel like some kind of museum exhibit.

Summary
In front of him, His Radiancy lounged on a chaise, occasionally selecting some canapé from the table at his side, but his eyes remained fixed on Kip. HR had promised that he would watch Kip the entire time he was up here, in this- picture frame, actually. It was a picture frame cut into the wall, with enough space for Kip to be displayed for HR's pleasure. The builders had framed the opening in an ornate (gaudy) gold trim, but the inset Kip was in was entirely white.
Three times the Evil!Household puts someone on display.

Summary
It is difficult to remember how this started, but your dislike of the Gamemaster is much higher now that they have forced you to face a truth you do not want to see, and worse, I don’t want them to see it either. As this newest game unfolds before us, you are looking at me. (I am looking at you) We cannot look away. You want to. I see it in your face, surely as clearly as you see mine. Your eyes remain locked on mine yet that serene mask is impervious.

Summary
For three days, three shining days, you had Sayo Mdang. Intrepid, competent, brilliant, funny, unrefined—perhaps a trifle disorganized, for he did not seem to be able to keep track of his own papers, but still miles and away the best secretary you had ever been sent—and most importantly, willing to look you in the eyes.
And then, on the fourth day, he did not come.

He had told Fitzroy that his meaning of fanoa was archaic. But it wasn’t. It was alive. Because of them. And like Tupaia had told him, living things grow.
Kip wouldn’t lose what he had wanted all his life, just because it might change a little.
That was the way of loving the living.

Summary
A traitor, somewhere in the Imperial Guard. An assignment – oh, those fools had taken it as a demotion, as an insult to his noble blood, but he knew what du Nuale had been hinting at – an assignment to investigate the Emperor’s own. To become (he was fairly certain) the closest placed agent to the person of the Sun-on-Earth.
It was a shame, really, that he knew so little about dragons.

Summary
The cell was two ells long and one ell wide. A padded bench along one wall provided a modicum of comfort; a lidded garderobe in the opposite corner another. The door, bolted from the outside, was set with a barred window, warded to permit a dusty beam of light in, and no view out. That was all: the bench, the garderobe, the door, and Cliopher.

Summary
His feet were moving again, though he did not recall deciding to go anywhere. He crossed the room, past his desk, past the plinth with the asymmetrical vase, past the tapestry map and the golden nightingale in its cage. Past the terrace, where he had been pleased to break his fast with his Radiancy—only this morning? It felt a thousand years away.
He was standing before the ivory door to the inner apartments, which he had passed through only a handful of times before. His hand raised of its own accord, and the door fell open beneath it.
He became aware, with a creeping dread like tendrils up his throat, that something was terribly wrong.
