    Summary

    Kan Maolin, daughter of the empire's most feared strategist Grand Commandant Kan Lakan, was raised not in noble courts or princess etiquette, but in military camps; where she learned war, patience, and the quiet art of poison. Known across the army as the *Viper*, she is as dangerous with strategy as she is with toxins.

    When the court grows uneasy about the rising fame and power of the La Clan, they seek to check the feared strategist by placing his daughter within the rear palace as a high consort.

    Summary

    Before canon ever began, the future of the Empire of Li had already been quietly decided.

    Crown Prince Ka Zuigetsu has been promised since childhood to Maomao, the brilliant Princess of the La Clan whose greatest passion is poisons, medicine, and asking far too many dangerous questions. What began with a handful of "stolen" flowers and one reckless promise slowly grows into a lifelong bond built on unwavering trust, shared secrets, and a love that neither politics nor time can weaken.

    But the Imperial Court is never kind to those who stand at its centre.

    As conspiracies spread through the Rear Palace, old enemies emerge from the shadows, and the Ghost Market begins pulling unseen strings, Zuigetsu and Maomao must protect not only each other, but the future of the Empire itself.

    After all...

    If they cannot stand together—

    there may be no Empire left to save.

    Summary

    Red. Crimson blood on the floor, smeared footsteps leading to and from the door, glittering in the low orange light flitting through the windows.

    The bodies laying in front of him were never supposed to be the victims.

    His Nora. Salma.

    He stares, numb. It’s too late, and he knows it.

    “Im home, Nora,” He says, voice cracking dryly. “I'm home.”

    (it isn’t home anymore.)

    Summary

    With Omega Earth pressuring Alpha Earth with relentless attacks, the agents of Alpha Protocol are exhausted and overworked. Cypher and Omen are no exception. With Brimstone constantly pressuring Cypher to intercept transmissions to get ahead of attacks, there is no time to eat or sleep. Omen has been on mission after mission, one of the few able to function on little sleep and sustenance. The two, while in the presence of others, are able to keep up appearances and seem perfectly fine. Behind closed doors, though, their eyelids beg to embrace sleep, their bodies sag to the floor, and their minds mush. But there is no time to rest, to worry about the increasing panic attacks or the heavy burdens piling up on their shoulders. They have to keep going, to keep fighting. Cypher because he's the only reason they aren't taken by surprise, and Omen because a bullet wound to him is better than the death of someone else.

    Really, it was only a matter of time before one of them fell. But who will catch them if both are to fall?
