Fics for The Watchmaker of Filigree Street (1, 3, 5, 8, 9), The Mars House (6, 10), The Kingdoms (2, 4), and The Hymn to Dionysus (7).

A New Song (Mori/Thaniel, modern AU meet-cute, single parent Mori, 4.5k) When Thaniel Steepleton's sister had called and instructed him to find a free weekend in his calendar, because she was coming for a visit, and if she brought sleeping bags would he have room on the floor for them because she'd rather not pay for a hotel thank you, he'd not been best pleased.

The Sky, It Seems, Would Pour Down Stinking Pitch (Joe/Kite, Theatre AU, mutual pining, one bed, 3k): It was the second of their two day-long rehearsals to get Tempest on its feet before opening.

A Loftier Song (Mori/Thaniel, missing scene, Mori POV their first night at the legation, 4k): Keita sat on a set of stairs at the British legation that he had almost certainly seen before, and couldn't discern in which direction to move.

so quite new (Joe/Kite, post canon pwp, developing relationship, 2k): The golden morning sun filtered in dimly through the shutters over the window.

On the Shore of the Wide World (Mori/Thaniel, missing scene, Mori POV Mori's first night back from Russia, 4k): "Mrs H?" Thaniel calls softly.

To The Victor (River/January, missing scene, pwp, 2.5k): When Gale finished addressing the people of Tharsis on the balcony, January supposed they would be swept away from him to do important Consul things, and January would either totter off to admire the furnishings or, more likely, be swept into a grueling round of interviews of his own.

More Than One Kind of Sense (Phaidros/Dionysus, modern AU, coffeeshop AU, fake dating, 3k): Everything had really started a couple months ago, when Dionysus came to my store.

Railway Privileges (Mori/Thaniel, interbook period, relationship study but also pwp, 10k): Traveling with Mori was not like traveling by himself.

Alas, My Love (Mori/Thaniel, missing scene, character study, Mori POV preparing cakes for Thaniel and Grace, 3k): He'd read it in his journal of lost memories this morning.

Hot Sugar (Stiff Peaks) (River/January, post canon sexy fluff, 4.5k): They’d been married for a little over eight months when January opened The Schedule one afternoon to see an unusual looking entry for one day next week.

This was fun! I'm happy I've been writing so much fic in the last year after a couple years writing nothing at all.
