    Summary

    This is a continuation of Alluvium - a retelling of Naomi Novik's Uprooted from the Dragon's perspective. The first nine chapters were completed by AWizardWithoutHerStaff, who has graciously allowed me to carry on the story with her premise.

    So: you will first need to have read Uprooted. Then you will need to have read Alluvium for chapters 1-9, because we're picking things up right off the bat with Chapter 10

    *(If you're here for smut: see Ch 16: Chapter 27 - Part One)

    Summary

    Agnieszka has a grievance. Sarkan swallows his pride.

    (Just because they’re in love now doesn’t mean he’s suddenly great at being a person.)

    Third epilogue of the Alluvium/Diluvium Sarkan POV series. Set ~2 months post-canon. Will make sense without reading the rest (though I invite you to indulge)

    Summary

    It's the morning after the Harvest Festival, and Sarkan has woken up in a rather improbable location.

    He has a tower to repair, but perhaps that can wait one more day...

    Summary

    Any connection forged from eight or so handfuls of Spindle water can take only a few months to wear off, Sarkan reckons, and there is work to be done at court at any rate. That should be time enough to stop thinking about Agnieszka.

    He, unfortunately, is wrong on many counts.

    Sarkan's meandering musings from the end of the novel to post epilogue as he flees to Kralia only to be pulled back to the valley.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov stands in the doorway, blood dripping from his nose. It’s splattered on his shirt too, red and dark. Fresh, if Shane had to guess. His knuckles look cut up, and his left eye looks slightly swollen, like someone had landed a punch there recently.

    “I need a drink,” he says, accent thicker than usual. “A strong one.”

    or: Shane Hollander runs a bar in Lower Manhattan. Ilya Rozanov, second son of the head of the Russian mob, just so happens to be one of his more frequent patrons.
