    Summary

    “You are very young, solnyshka,” he murmurs. “It is a man imprudent who plucks a flower not yet in bloom.”

    “Likewise, a man who leaves it on the vine to dry,” she replies pertly.

    There are no plagues in Ravka. No disease, no deformity, no death. The last of the otkazat’sya died out more than two centuries ago from the Great Plague. Only the strongest Grisha survived.

    To see their people endure, Grisha are matched for marriage by the most skilled of the corporalki order; the datchik. The datchik see the best mates paired to ensure the strongest offspring.

    Aleksander is the King's firstborn son. He must marry his equal.

    Alina is the Duke's daughter. She hopes to marry her love.

    Jaded by the ugly price of utopian ideals, Aleksander does not expect the woman matched as his wife to ever become his compatriot for life.

    Update 20 May 2026: Nearly a year later, but I finally got there. Enjoy the final chapters. Thank you for your patience 💕

    Summary

    Remus looks at Harry's wide eyes again.
    Maybe, he thinks, and he knows it’s absurd and impossible, but he still thinks that maybe they sent him to Harry, and they sent Harry to him after all those years he spent alone. Perhaps to commemorate what they have lost together and cry and mourn and suffer.
    Perhaps, they thought it is high time that Remus smiles again, sincerely, like the days in Hogwarts. Like he is a human again, not just a hollow bag of bones. Perhaps they think he should stop just existing, and live again. Perhaps.
    *
    Voldemort is defeated, the war is over, but Remus can't pull himself together until suddenly there is a little boy in his arms, crying and waiting for him to wipe his tears away.

    Summary

    He took a seat next to her, and her head flopped inelegantly into the crook of his shoulder, empty glass now discarded on the floor. He wrapped his arm around her. She was warm and soft and smelled of lavender and soap. He breathed her in as if she was an expensive wine and he wanted to savor every last delicious drop.

     

    “I think I understand you a little bit now,” she said softly. “The Shu killed everyone. They killed my kids and they killed Mal and they took the Grisha.” She hiccupped again. “Can you open a Fold in Amhrat Jen for me? Please?”

    Summary

    “You’ll make a good wife, too, I imagine," he says, and she can see it in his face that he understands he is being bold. Gentle mouth stretched on a grin so large, he reminds her of a book made of dreams and fantasies. “Your father speaks highly of you. Almost like a son. You know, I often wonder how men could be so reckless with their most valued possessions. If you were my daughter, for example, I’d have found a better husband for you.”
