Summary
Alan explored his memories of the past few months like someone gingerly handling an ancient scroll. Pieces slipped and crumbled. He remembered... Boarding the Lyric, setting off to London, rifling through the wealthiest passengers’ cabins for jewelry. Waking up sprawled across the floor of one of the cabins with Hawthorn holding him at gunpoint. After that, it was patchy, and got patchier the closer to the present he tried to recall.
The memory spell takes a bit better than Alan had hoped.

Summary
“Who knows the Emperor’s mind better than his wife?” Csevet asked. She looked up at that to fix him with a pointed look, and he flushed slightly. “Well. That would be a whole other degree of scandal. They will accept thee, Csethiro. It is not permanent; they need only recognize thee as speaking for the Emperor until he is recovered.”
“Thou’lt help?” she asked him, a pleading note in her voice.
He only gave her a small smile again, as if he had an idea of what she was thinking. “Of course, Highness.”Maia is incapacitated for several weeks after being poisoned. Csethiro, with Csevet’s aid, keeps the Empire running while he recovers.

Coax You Out of That Unholy Place by rings_unseen

Summary
His feelings for Edrahasivar were something that he had never even planned to tell anyone about. It was a bit alarming to realize that Csethiro could read them so easily in their interactions, but at least she was— apparently— not the jealous sort. Leaving this up to Csevet to deal with, though, was... Excruciating. Understandable, but excruciating.
A few days of sick leave causes Csevet and Maia to appreciate each others’ company all the more. Csethiro makes well-founded but false assumptions about the Emperor’s relationship with his secretary.

Plausible Deniability and Pineapple by toffeecape

Summary
In which the Last Emperor of Astandalas and Lord of Zunidh is an unbonded sentinel (as if he didn't have enough problems) and Cliopher sayo Mdang rejects the entire classist and culturally imperialistic sentinel/guide paradigm out of hand and offers his Radiancy... almost the exact same thing, honestly, but done their way.

Summary
“...forgive us for the presumption,” Edrehasivar said, tone slightly strangled in the way it always is when he doesn’t like what is coming out of his mouth. “But we thought, if we... that is, if we, er… attended... then you would not have to… no one would have to…" He sagged under our stares. “...stay behind,” he finished feebly.
We were at that moment visited by a terrible, inevitable vision of the Ethuverazhid Zhas cornered by our mother, and we confess we had to lean on the wall in a brief violation of Alchenar IX.I.VI. Even the edocharei seemed taken aback; even Cala. Edrehasivar looked horribly dismayed at this non-reaction, and immediately started to backtrack.
"We do not wish to inflict ourself," he said wretchedly. "It was only a— a thought…" He trailed off, but the pause persisted. In it, we reflected to ourself that while we had taken knives for this boy, and would willingly take plenty more, he had — indeed, has — a talent for making us want to scream in dismay.

Summary
And there, behind them: a failed assassination in the form of a sharp-cheeked young elf, his skin brown and his eyes the curious brown-gold of the earth being hit directly by sunbeams. A staff on his back, his hair a mess. An incurable sort of interest to his eyebrows, his unsmiling mouth, the tilt of his ears. “Who are you, and who sent you after us?”
It starts like this: a sudden desire, once more, to survive.
“My name is Zevran Arainai,” he explains, speaking only to the elf — he is the leader, even if the young Warden doesn’t know it. “I was sent to kill you.”
“You seem to be doing spectacularly,” he observes.
