The Raptor dropped out of FTL with a shudder that rattled the deck plates and sent a loose spanner skittering across the cockpit floor. Ēriks caught it with his foot before it could roll under the jump seat, a reflex born of three days of living in such close quarters for weeks He set it on the console, stretched his arms over his head until his spine cracked, and looked out the viewport. Port Haven was not what he had expected. The star was small and cold, a dim red dwarf that gave

Those two would do it, DARING someone to say a word about it. I think they'd enjoy the fall out

Most Vikings of the era didn't understand Western hangups with sex and sexuality. Men loved men, women loved women, men and women loved each other... anything that gets in the way of that was just dumb in their culture.

Darien is, as the old adage states, being driven to the thin ice, and his options are narrowing the longer he stays in Antioch. The "Faith militant" the Tafurs grow in power, ferocity, fanaticism, devolving into Ghoulish behaviour that terrifies Crusader, Turk, and Fatmid alike. Raymond is utterly nuts. Peter Bartholomew , his advisor, was far FAR worse. His end, however, was poetic. The old oaths are broken, and two factions arise. Darien's Vanguard, and the fanatics.

Ashot is up to no good

The armory of the lower palace was one of the few places in Antioch where the stifling summer heat felt appropriate. It smelled of hot iron, leather oil, and the sharp, metallic tang of the whetstone. For Darien Haskal, it was a sanctuary. The relentless, suffocating politics of the Crusade could not easily penetrate a room entirely devoted to the practical mechanics of killing. Darien stood over a heavy oak workbench, looking down at the ruined, jagged piece of steel that had once been hi

Darien is smart enough to protect Julian's finances from his father. He has a rather surprising way of doing this. Julian is on the rise.

Lord D'asshole is about to learn that parts of him can, mysteriously, become detached, when they're found in the wrong places.

Chapter 13: THE EXILE
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 13: THE EXILE
I think Lukas has learned that there is a nirvana, and it's located in a place he never expected to be allowed to go. It's funny but Lukas is highly motivated to keeping Eriks alive... definately needs reinforcing, a lot. -

I wonder if Rikard has realized all of his GN Males tend to go gay... is it a design "feature" something to do with the enhanced sensations... or Rikard just being too blind to realize he forgot to edit out the genenetic markers from the original donor's DNA... what does that say about him... -

Post-nut clarity is great isn't it? It literally means Lukas can think. -

The Raptor's cockpit smelled like ozone, recycled air, and the faint, sweetish tang of the coolant that leaked from the port engine manifold. Ēriks had been meaning to fix that leak for three days. Three days since Nova Zarya. Three days since Tripp had smiled and said *I win, you arrogant prick* and Lukas had walked to his side like a puppet with its strings pulled. Three days, and he still hadn't fixed the leak. He sat in the pilot's chair, his hands resting on the controls, his ey

Libbet is a blast, as I mentioned, her and Wylan become besties... it's great fun to watch those two fleecing the nobility of BOTH Frankia AND England.
-
Not yet, but if Raymond feels threatened in his rush for power, Wylan becomes a target. Darien knows this, and will need to get Wylan out of Antioch.
-
And funnily, Darien DOTES on Enrique, utterly adores him. (Much to Wylan's GREAT amusement)
-
You wait till you meet Enrique ibn Steven, ibn Ashot. (the ridiculous double barrelled name is, much to Stephan's academic brain melting, staying) Those two make really good parents.
-
Ashot's favourite book, he quotes it later in the story when we discover he is rather well read, thanks to Steffy insisting he learn to read.
-
Baldwin is a tool, he continues to be an utter tool. Ishan kicks in him the balls later, so all is good
-
She is fun. She features more prominently in the next book. Where she and Wylan have set up a Horse breeding syndicate. the two get along REALLY well.
-
Julian is VERY accommodating.

Ser Lloyd, Mouse Knight, and the Largest Lance of the Crusade.

Ahh the three couples Wylan and his Darien, comfortable married couple. Publically "Married" and untouchable for it. Julian and his Lloyd, well the poor mouse knight dragged around by his lord "husband" Ashot and his Steffy, ha! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! HA! BWAHAHAHAHHA Stephen is learning how to domesticate his wild alley cat of a boyfriend.

It begins a year or more of paralysis while the Lords of the Crusade bicker, bitch, and jockey for power over who rules Antioch. It very nearly killed the crusade. Raymond of Toulouse was a nut-job, seeing a path to power in a hunk of rusted metal, and the fervor of the mob. (Ultimately the man was a coward and a charlatan, but a VERY dangerous one) Darien's decision to take his army out of Antioch and go it alone forces their hands. He does it to save Wylan, but there is a price...
