    Summary

    Keyleth touches his cheek. She’s so warm. “Hey there,” she says softly.

    “Hello.” He feels the memory of a laugh in his throat, but doesn’t quite know how to let it out. It simmers, strange as his new heartbeat.

    He takes a breath. Air, sweet and cold, rushes to fill all the crevices of this mortal-shape. He breathes out. He tastes salt.

    (Vax'ildan rediscovers home, over and over again. Spoilers for Campaign 1 and the end of Campaign 3).

    Summary

    In which Temeraire attends the Hugo Awards. Containing blatant misrepresentation of dragons in fiction and unfair comparisions to John Keats. Asimov is there, I guess.

    A few drabbles written in honor of the Temeraire series being nominated for a 2017 Hugo Award.

    Summary

    Kakashi is born with one soulmark. His father tells him that his second one came a few bare months later, bright and prominent and likely uncomfortable, judging by an infant Kakashi’s screeching disconcertion. The marks are impossible to mistake for anything but. The Hatake bear no clan markings, and Kakashi’s soulmarks are vivid ink-smears on his pale skin; a circle of red set between his shoulder blades, a curl of violet right over his pulse point.

    They are special: soulmates. They can slide into a variety of categories: a lover or a friend or a sibling or a parent, but they mean someone who understands, someone who will love you unconditionally, someone that will know the core of you.

    When Kakashi is small, five and barely two feet tall, that is not nearly as frightening as it should be.
