Summary
Driven out of Tortall by madness and magic, Numair Salmalín finds himself seeking sanctuary within the tempestuous walls of the Gallan capital. Here, unrest boils below the illusionary calm of a country at peace: an unpopular king acts to outlaw the use of magic; a rebel mage and her patchwork assassin raise the people against their palace; and invidious hands work to manipulate the people into fighting each other instead of the forces that threaten them.
Numair, ordered by his king to prevent the aftershock of Galla falling from claiming Tortall as well, finds that not even the greatest of mages is enough to stop the inevitable detonation of a starving city. With only the unstable wild mage, Veralidaine Sarrasri, and the duplicitous Savigny de Hartholm, the left hand of the king, to help him save Galla’s people, Numair is forced to take a side in a war he wants no part of.
Galla will burn. Numair cannot stop it.
And a figure from his past is determined to ensure that Numair burns too.

Summary
“Of sorts.” Numair paused for a long moment and then spoke with care. “Daine. You actually believe that you lack sufficient merit to be found attractive by me?”
Daine refused to look away from his shoulder. “Yes, basically. And ‘merit’ isn’t really the right word. There are better things to be than pretty. And in any case, I’m not upset by that anymore. And even when I was, I never held it against you.”
The words came out without any editing from higher thought. “No, that’s not correct. That is, I find you very attractive.”- Language:

Summary
'He laughed a little at that but it wasn’t a happy sound. “Yes, just our relative ages and historical power imbalances. Also that up until quite recently I’d presumed you viewed me in a strictly familial manner and would feel burdened or even disgusted by any offer I could make."'
Series of shorter romance one-shots, since this is apparently how I'm handling quarantine.

Summary
"They're expecting you to bed me," Daine pointed out—apparently, she needed to.
"So they are," Numair replied neutrally, going back for more bedding.
"It's going to be rather obvious that you didn't if I leave without so much as a lovebite."
Daine and Numair, undercover as a maid and lord respectively, need an excuse to spend the night together. Perhaps they could have chosen a better excuse.

Summary
“You are the most remarkable person I’ve ever met, Veralidaine Sarrasri. And I’m, well, me.” Numair laughed as Daine swatted his arm. “Imagine how wonderfully talented our children would be!”
Daine considered this. “I reckon they’d be very stubborn,” she said seriously. “And impossible to keep out of trouble.”
(Daine and Numair fight a group of raiders, and discuss their future together.)

Summary
When Daine said, mostly joking, "Well, you didn't like Perin, either; why did you never approve of my boyfriends?" to Numair at the tail end of her college graduation party, the very last answer she expected to hear was:
"Because I'm in love with you."

AU The Emperor Mage, where Numair never left Carthak and instead became Carthak's--and the world's--most feared and powerful sorceror, the Black Mage.
The Emperor Ozorne of Carthak has sued for peace, and Tortall's peace delegation includes Daine, sent to heal the royal birds. Inundated with warnings over the Black Mage, she vows to stay out of his way at all costs. But Master Numair is an academic at heart, after all, and he is not about to let the strongest wild mage to ever cross his path go unstudied.

Summary
Daine woke up early, to the sound of Numair snoring and the familiar, annoying feeling of her mouth full of his hair. She blew it out with a huff, and Numair made a sleepy sound and rolled over, the messy cloud of his hair going with him, leaving a warm space in the bed behind him. There was sunlight coming through the cracks in the closed shutters, and Daine could hear the palace sparrows outside shrieking about how it was the morning, the sun was up, the humans should also be up.

Summary
The light was blinding, but it wasn’t the light that was making him stare. He couldn’t figure out what she was. She looked like a two legger, but she glowed like a god... and she felt like people.
