    Chapter 6

    The wonderful thing about this particular time during the Crusade was that Raymond, in a power grab, declared all the old oaths broken, and this allowed him to take in all who wanted to join his army. This had the knock on effect that the same was true for Darien. (Tancred in history) Tam and Connor did everything they could to join the Vanguard and be safe. And once the vanguard began their march, Raymond's madness was forced to march behind. Darien is going to attract a lot more of the Crusaders that are abandoning Raymond's fanatics/are driven out.

    Ashot, with the carrot peeler, in the mess tent stabbing anyone that makes jokes. (we all know Lloyd's making jokes)
  3. I mean the did get the shiny gold plated Amsus Battlecruiser... and Gold is sorta yellow... yellow with an upgrade... you know Mickey has his face plastered to the viewport of the Vega Vixen, drooling jealously coveting that ship.
  4. Tripp is a massive dork. I wanted it to feel like a spat between best friends over a dude, that kind of got out of control.
  5. The bed was too soft. That was the first thing Tripp noticed every morning, before he opened his eyes, before the weight of another day settled onto his chest like a concrete block. The mattress had been shipped from Earth, some luxury brand that cost more than most people made in a year. The sheets were silk, the duvet was stuffed with something that had once been alive and was now very, very soft, and the pillows were arranged in precisely the configuration that the palace staff had deter

    he does carry the Kalijj family ancestral sword. Now there's a thought, Arslan would have a stroke if he knew that it was now the property of a very unrepentant street-rat

    Something he runs into in "The Vanguard of the Silver Boar" a later book when they are back in France. Though messing with Ashot is a sure fire way to get a mace to the teeth. Either Val's or Stephens)

    "Sure it isn't Dee." Ser Lloyd shakes his head.

    Daddy Darien, he does it for all of them. While Lloyd is definitely "Camp mom" and Val is the chaos Aunt. Darien's dad. All the Squires look up to him, and he spends time with each of them. Be it Ashot and teaching him to read. Julian and his guidance, or Stephan and his confidence. Heck even Wylan calls him Daddy... but that's for different reasons

    You're probably right on both counts, I was writing in the moment and it was a bottle chapter.

    Chapter 5

    Ashot loves his Steffy, unabashedly, unreservedly, and always goes out of his way to show him with gifts and affection. Stephen is reserved, but melts under the unrelenting bombardment of Ashot's affection. He knows he's been claimed, and that Ashot isn't going anywhere.

    #TeamSquire for the win!
  16. The Levantine hills were a fractured, arid labyrinth of sun-baked limestone, jagged ravines, and scrub brush that clung to the dry earth with desperate, thorny tenacity. It was a harsh, unforgiving country that offered no quarter to the weak, punishing anyone foolish enough to march through it without respect for the heat. To Julian, however, stepping off the main coastal road and vanishing into the rugged wilderness felt like slipping into a perfectly tailored glove. He was not a lord here
  17. Vega Vixen 2.0 is written As is Carter's Asset Both awaiting their turn on the release schedule.
  18. You know Mickey is plotting to get his hands on the Vega Vixen 6...
  19. omg. the ultimate Kaynin indignity... I didn't notice I did that.
  20. just re read that... hahaha *ahem* i might have been a little whacked on pain killers for this one.
  21. Comfiest chair on the bridge! And the inventory robots love their job.
  22. The bridge of the Coastguard cutter smelled like old coffee, mildew, and the faint, sweetish tang of the coolant that leaked from somewhere. Why was it always leaking coolant? Five days since Port Haven. Five days since Doctor Ahearn had quarantined Tripp's override behind the Asimov Laws and Lukas had kissed him in the middle of the clinic and called him beautiful. Five days, and he still hadn't fixed the leak because fuck leaking coolant. It didn't matter if the ship was new, old, or fall
