    Summary

    “I wanted to see how you’re doing. I know this—being here wasn’t your first choice.”

    “No,” says Daniil. It’s hardly an admission. “But few of us have had our first choice these days, have we? In adversis, necesse est accommodare.” Never mind that he’s not adapting especially well at all, that Artemy has seen the proof for himself. “If you’re feeling responsible for me, I’d rather you save it for someone better suited for your protection.”

    At that, Artemy looks up, and straight into Daniil’s eyes.

    This close, in the light of the gas lamps, they are an unfathomable color and depth: light and simultaneously shadowed, somewhere between blue and green and gray, like staring into a clear lake that stretches deeper than the eye can make out. Daniil stares into those depths and finds himself straining forward, leaning, as if he could tip into that body of water and lose himself beneath the surface.

    “No,” Artemy says at last, his voice low enough to stoke that heat in Daniil’s gut again. “I invited you here because I think you’re the only person in town I’m not responsible for."

    Summary

    “You don’t look like they’ve been mistreating you too grievously, at least,” the strange woman said. “Aside from the obvious.”

    There was something of the university, too, in how she said it, airy and self-satisfied, with a capital accent even stronger than the sooty smell that clung to her coat. A new arrival in the town, yet she stood there as if she owned the jail and talked almost as if Artemis should have known her on sight.

    “Who are you?” Artemis asked. Her thoughts, time, still didn’t seem to be moving much quicker than the trickle of water down the wall, cold and puddling. With someone like that standing in its doorway, the cell could almost have been a dream after all.

    “Dana Dankovskaya, Bachelor of Medicine,” she introduced herself, with a little tug of the lips that said she liked doing it. Liked flaunting the title, maybe – a university woman after all, and what was someone like that doing in a little town on the edge of the steppe? “And apparently the most competent criminal investigator in this town. I was able to convince Governor Saburov that the timing of your arrival makes it absolutely impossible for you to have killed your father.”

    Summary

    Dankovsky seizes the most unexpected opportunities, turns phrases at exactly the right time to move circumstances into his preferred alignment. He produces solutions for problems he could not possibly have anticipated before they arrived. Today, his foresight has saved the life of a man he has made no secret of loathing, and Karminsky cannot yet pin a reasonable motive to that mercy. Dankovsky acts through his days with such frightening precision; such unerring exactness in the midst of his wild moods. It is dazzling to watch. Captivating. 

    Impossible.

    And Karminsky is an expert hunter of impossible things.

    ---

    In which the Inquisitor attempts to add an impossible object to his collection with unanticipated results.

    Summary

    And when all is said and done, when there’s no more blood to wash your hands of, who do you still need to look in the eye? Who will look at you?
    When you’ve taken the flame of magic and put it out with your own fingers, whose home can you walk into, head tall?
    Diurnal ending (a choice of love, like any other) and what’s in the silence that follows.

    (added informative notes at the beginning about the deeply self-indulging nature of this work where i ask you to pretend i’m simply picking up where i’ve left off.)

    Summary

    The Town and the Kin, an Odongh had once whispered, were sewn together wrong. The plague had torn those old connections apart, and it was left to Artemy Burakh to suture the severed halves back together in a better way. Blood could, and would, flow through them as one common body. And it would, and must, start with solidarity.

    This, too, could be its own form of utopia.

    In which Artemy unionises the Termitary workers, organises a strike, and finds a new way to unite the Town.

    Summary

    Vader is a technical genius, it is a well-known fact. So, following his defeat at the hands of his old Master on Mustafar and the rise of the Empire, Vader executes his greatest act of genius to prove his dominance: he creates an artificial intelligence modeled after Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    After the rise of the Empire, nothing remains of Commander Cody except for CC-2224, just another rank-and-file stormtrooper among many. He goes where he is told to go, shoots where he is told to shoot, and doesn't question it because good soldiers follow orders.

    A droid told to be human meets a human told to be a droid. They meet somewhere in the middle.

A new force has arrived in the town, one with the power to bring it a quicker, more ruthless death than even the Sand Pest. An inquisitor, charged by the powers that be with solving impossible problems by pitiless means. A man known to some as the white snake of the Capital...

    Working under RED can be repetitive at times - but nothing like this.

    After a curse is fired his way, Scout is forced to live through the same day over and over and over again.

    It should be easy for someone as perfect as Scout to break the curse, right?

    As long as he doesn't have to confront the things he's been feeling towards Sniper it should be a piece of cake!
