    Summary

    Basen Henituse has learned to keep his worries behind his teeth.

    His older brother has been slipping away for years—first into silence, then into bottles. And Basen has watched from the doorway, hands full of things he doesn't know how to say.

    But he is not alone in his watching.

    His sister, Lily, has no such restraints.

    On the day before Basen leaves for the capital, they find their way into a room they have never been invited into. What waits inside is not what either of them expected.

    A painting. A promise. And a brother who, for just a few moments, seems less untouchable.

    But promises, Basen is about to learn, are fragile things.

    Or

    Basen and Lily finally knock on a door that has always been closed.

    Summary

    What counts as 'family' changes and grows over time, it's only natural. Perhaps Cale has sped up the rate of expansion just slightly. Perhaps that family is taking care to peel away all the rotted parts of him that no longer cling comfortably. Cale wonders if he'll be the same person, once all his ugly, broken pieces are replaced. If he ever was a proper person to begin with.

    or,

    Bringing children home, making sure that a son won't bury his father, blowing shit up, and a few invitations.

    Summary

    The problem with always having a fly buzzing in your ear is that you struggle to listen to any of the noise outside of it. Cale tries to remind himself of this, meandering again across the continent to accomplish the Captain's ends lest he face even more nagging. When he finally clears his mind enough to hear the world around him, he gets to catching up on the gossip.

    or,

    Family relationships are hard, buying a magic tower in the middle of a civil war is surprisingly easier, navigating an un-navigable path isn't all it's cracked up to be, and the Empire really needs to get its nose out of the West's business.

    or,

    Healing, house calls, and going home, with a sprinkle of angst and dread on the side.

    Summary

    Cale Henituse was annoying, arrogant, an obnoxious drunk—complete trash whom everyone hated—but Roksu made them realize that wasn't the case.
