Summary
My brother gave me that choice. He was everything I had ever hoped for in a husband, everything I had ever dreamed of in a brother, everything one could desire in an Emperor.
I could only stammer, again, that it was his choice, that I was dutiful. I did not know how to say _no_, it was not something anyone had deemed necessary to teach me.

Summary
“Kip,” I said, and my voice came out tight. “Did a piece of glass hit you? Here, let me—” and I reached around to check the wound. If the glass had nicked him that was one thing, but if it had—had punctured—
But it wasn’t a piece of glass at all. It took me a moment, my fingers meeting Kip’s, trembling and wet with blood, over the objected embedded in his side, to realize what it was.
It was a dart.

Summary
“You're—” began the young aristocrat, but Kip interrupted.
“Cliopher Mdang,” said Kip, curtly, “fourth-degree secretary.” He bowed, because it had been rude to interrupt, and because the young man looked like he was probably one of the Upper Ten Thousand. The sort of person who could make his life hell if he wanted to.
The man didn't take offence, but nodded. “The Cavalier Conju enazo Argellian an Vilius,” he said politely, “Companion to Lady Lasara of Eldizorka, over there.” He waved his hand vaguely at the pile of skirts.

What if Kip and Conju met pre-Fall in the Palace and became friends.

Please read the tags! The Palace of Stars pre-Fall was not a fun place.

Summary
The patient masseuse gently rubbed warm oil into Eidora's wrinkled hands. She was getting better at ignoring the voice in her head that insisted she should be doing something more important with her day. Much harder to ignore, was the voice that idly wondered what was happening to the family in her absence.

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time to update.
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

It would only be one game, after all. He had sent Cliopher to Littleridge for less. Cliopher had relentlessly uprooted corruption in the examinations without him even asking. It was not too bad - he was not abusing his power - to play one game of chess with him, was it?

Summary
"Cliopher will be staying in my rooms for the duration of his recovery," Conju went on. "The healers have assured me that he will be sleeping for a while and won't be able to pay close attention to his surroundings." A short pause, before Conju spoke again, with uncharacteristic hesitation. "It is likely that he would not realise that you were there, should you, at any point, wish to see for yourself that your orders for him to remain abed were followed."
Note: This Touch AU takes its canon divergence point from a scene in the Embers series fic Unquenchable, which is set shortly after Petty Treasons and deals with Kip's episode of bonebreak fever mentioned in Hands of the Emperor. It's written as a standalone - it's not necessary to read any of the Embers fics to follow this one - though Unquenchable does give Kip's pov of some of the early scenes if that's of any interest.
