Title: The Balance Sheets of the Dead
Series: Audari Empire (sequel to "For These Cramped Fragments")
Fandom: Original fic
Rating: M (mostly for things coming from the previous story but not entirely)
Length: 2937 words
Characters: Mayda Hrorek, Kaneri (formerly King of Pynria)
Tags: References to past rape, References to death, Ruthlessness, Captivity, Politics, War, Hope vs Despair
Notes: I've been thinking about how to repair the original story (which doesn't end right due to me having run out of time), and this is what happened instead. I'm pretty sure it's not quite what most people had in mind when they asked for more.

Summary: Kaneri was surprised not to be dead. He didn't expect that the oversight in his status would be long overlooked, but he allowed himself a little time to breathe and think of something other than where it was all likely to end.

The Audari were nothing if not consistent, so Kaneri was certainly going to die, and that death was certainly going to be unpleasant, but he'd known for years that it was coming, eventually.

Title: Love Sold, Hope Dead, and Honour Broken
Series: House of Sulfur and Mercury
Fandom: Chronicles of Amber - Roger Zelazny
Rating: T
Length: 4829 words
Characters: Dalt, Ghostwheel, Merlin, Ariyus
Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Dysfunctional Family, Captivity, Artificial Intelligence

Notes: I've posted this as a standalone, but I'm pretty sure that, somewhere down the line, it will end up chaptered. The title only really works if there's more to it.

Contains references to rape in terms of Dalt's canonical backstory and in terms of things Dalt knows or suspects about events in other parts of the series.

Summary: Dalt meets Ghostwheel who scares the shit out of him. He then meets Merlin who impresses him rather less.

Today and the next few days are going to be eaten by laundry with not much else to break that up, so rather than doing anything else, I've made an annotated list of my current WIP. I do that periodically but don't generally post them here because making them coherent tends to take too much time.

Various WIP. Annotated. )
