Summary
It should, they later reflected, have been more alarming when Fitzroy emerged from the bathhouse naked, without sarong or towel, and tore up to the solarium. But none of them had paid him any mind. Under other circumstances that would undoubtedly please him greatly. Under the present circumstances, however –
HELP, the House sings, two minutes later. (The House has never sung before.) HELP. HELP. UPSTAIRS. HELP.

Summary
A scarlet mantle redder than the rose flares around tall shoulders; a sky blue tunic stands bold against the night sky; a wild thicket of hair, black and grey and gloriously free, streams out in all directions like a halo - this man has a harp in his hands, and a song on his lips - and a sword at his belt - and he strides over the threshold in a flurry of golden magic that ripples and flows like lava.
Cliopher does not know this person - he does not think he knows this person - he cannot see who this person is, and the pegs are screaming in his mind - he almost does not hear the words, but they resonate on every level so that even his pegboard sings them back to him: "WHERE IS HE?"
(In which the denizens of Sky Ocean should have known better than to kidnap Cliopher Mdang of Tahivoa, however clever and helpful he might be as an ornament to their demesnes.)

Tenebra, or The Crow by alfgifu

Summary
It was highly inconvenient to find myself transformed into a crow in the Imperial Apartments, and somewhat alarming when I discovered that I could not access my magic, and therefore could not turn back.
...
The small room was empty, and dark. A single patch of silvery moonlight picked out a fluffy piece of fabric draped over the back of the long couch.
Cliopher stared for a long moment, then became aware of movement by his feet. He looked down. The large black crow had landed beside him in a splatter of ink, and was regarding him solemnly with one gold-rimmed black eye.
“She’s taken him,” he said, softly.
