Summary
An AU for The Key to Oslov series in which Tilrey doesn't get left behind when Malsha flees to Harbour. Takes place about a year after their journey there.
We've had great discussions on Tumblr about whether it would have been better for Tilrey to go to Harbour with Malsha, so I thought it would be fun to explore the possibility. I don't have an actual plot in mind for this, so it may be just a few vignette chapters.
The title is a play on the Oslov imprecation "verdant hells"—this won't be that hellish, though of course with Malsha involved, you never know.

Summary
Being the General Magistrate of Oslov's kettle boy is supposed to be an honor and a stepping stone to a better life. It doesn't feel that way to Tilrey Bronn. Plucked from obscurity to warm the bed of the most powerful man in his world, he does what he can to escape, and then to survive.
This is a prequel to A Serviceable Boy that was designed as a standalone. It can be read without reading the rest, and you won't need to read it to understand the next proper installment in the Key to Oslov series.

Summary
The lights have gone off in Redda. The Arctic cold is seeping in. Upstarts are panicking. Laborers are rioting. For the revolutionaries, it's do-or-die time.
How inconvenient that the head of the revolution and the head of the government he's revolting against happen to be in bed together when it all goes down.
This is it. The final story in the main sequence.

Summary
I've been asked about posting some "deleted scenes" from "All the Kinds of Broken." This is the story of how Tilrey got from Thurskein to Redda in the first place. It will cover most of what happened to him with Fir Jena, before he went to live with Malsha.

Summary
Wolfe's life is ripped from under him when bloodthirsty invaders take his father's fort and hold the entire town to ransom. He was raised a lord, meant to be a man and represent his family's interests at court. Instead, he's gifted as a bride to the giant warrior Rune. Will his new husband be kind and reasonable? Or will Wolfe forever be chattel, a prisoner dressed in finery and fucked without care every night?
This story is set in a medieval fantasy world of my own creation. Series updates Tuesdays.
