    Summary

    “What may I do for you, Sir Knight?”

    “My name is Vanec, good smith. I would much rather leave the formality at court, if that does not offend you.”

    Grieg nodded, approving.

    “Most here call me Grieg,” he said. “I avoid court as much as I can."

    “A sensible decision.” Vanec hefted a large canvas bag up into Grieg’s line of sight. “In here is my old breastplate. It took a hit a few weeks back and I would very much appreciate it if you could straighten it out for me.”

    Summary

    “I’m sorry this happened to you,” Adrian said to Eric, who was still staring at him. Adrian was used to that; even before the fire, with his numerous scars and gruff demeanor, many people would stare longer at him than most strangers. But now that he had the burn scars, uglier than any of his others, now that he limped and used a cane, those stares lasted far longer than usual. Just another reason why he rarely left campus.

    But there was something different about the way Eric looked at him, something unnerving in his gaze, in those almost unnaturally amber eyes… Adrian couldn’t quite place it, but he almost felt as though they’d met before.

    He wasn’t sure what he was expecting from the boy, perhaps for him to be fearful, or even angry, at being uprooted from whatever his life had been before. But he certainly wasn’t expecting Eric to shrug his shoulders, and for his mouth to pull up into a smile.

    “I’m not,” Eric said. “It’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”

    ~~~

    After a lifetime of vampire hunting, a mission-gone-bad sends Adrian into retirement. He starts teaching at a school for supernatural beings… and one day, a new student walks in.

    One that feels very familiar.

    Summary

    Simon is possibly the worst Baron Westbrook there has ever been. He was not born for the title, he never wanted it, and he struggles to live up to it.

    When he meets Tom, a devil-may-care fighter half his age with a smile on his face and not a penny to his name, his misgivings over his inheritance only deepen further.

    Summary

    “You’ve been listening to too many of Gurney’s songs, my boy.”

    But Paul sits up again eagerly, wide pupils glinting in the soft orange light of his suspensor lamp. “If I gave you a token to take with you next time my father sends you on a mission, would you wear it?”

    “I might,” Duncan answers amicably. “Serving your father, I suppose I serve you as well.”
