    Summary

    "Cliopher will be staying in my rooms for the duration of his recovery," Conju went on. "The healers have assured me that he will be sleeping for a while and won't be able to pay close attention to his surroundings." A short pause, before Conju spoke again, with uncharacteristic hesitation. "It is likely that he would not realise that you were there, should you, at any point, wish to see for yourself that your orders for him to remain abed were followed."

    Note: This Touch AU takes its canon divergence point from a scene in the Embers series fic Unquenchable, which is set shortly after Petty Treasons and deals with Kip's episode of bonebreak fever mentioned in Hands of the Emperor. It's written as a standalone - it's not necessary to read any of the Embers fics to follow this one - though Unquenchable does give Kip's pov of some of the early scenes if that's of any interest.

    Summary

    His little dumpling hummed a comforting meep and cuddled closer, and Cliopher imagined he could hear a warm, beloved voice affectionately murmur Kip.

    One day after they return from the vacation, Cliopher finds a little dumpling creature made of fire and magic. It is a small bright spark of pure and gleeful mischief amidst the work of the Imperial household. But where did it come from? And what does it name itself?

    Summary

    “I’ve known you half my life, served you half my life, do you think that I don’t know you better than that? That I don’t trust you?”

    “You would trust a man who would repay your centuries of loyal service by binding you to my curse?”

    His Radiancy says that it is impossible to free him from the bindings of the empire so that he can retire. Cliopher refuses to accept that, whatever it costs him.

    Summary

    “He said I would die—” Cliopher choked as his heart lodged in his throat; as much as he knew, he didn’t want to know. His lord’s eyes softened as he clutched the small white shell tight in one hand. “—that the shell was a gift. That it would, that it could—”

    “What?” Cliopher asked, hope sparking like a fire in his chest. “Save you? How?”

    His Radiancy shook his head ever so slightly. “Not save, but let me—”

    Summary

    Kip hated the sense of desolation in the man's voice, the despair, the resignation at the foundering of the ship that was his ke'ea. No one should have to give up— “You could always stay here,” he offered. “No one would ever know.”

    The man’s head popped up in astonishment—and, for the first time since coming in through Saya Dorn's pantry, he looked right at Kip, directly into Kip's eyes.

    Summary

    To determine the shape of the magic that had struck Kip down—if it existed—someone must visit him as he lay unconscious from his weakened heart. Someone must perform a full magical appraisal.

    Traditionally such an appraisal required physical contact with the subject.

    A fix-it for crownedrooster's "the heart of the world".
