Coax You Out of That Unholy Place by rings_unseen
Fandoms: The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison
18 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
His feelings for Edrahasivar were something that he had never even planned to tell anyone about. It was a bit alarming to realize that Csethiro could read them so easily in their interactions, but at least she was— apparently— not the jealous sort. Leaving this up to Csevet to deal with, though, was... Excruciating. Understandable, but excruciating.
A few days of sick leave causes Csevet and Maia to appreciate each others’ company all the more. Csethiro makes well-founded but false assumptions about the Emperor’s relationship with his secretary.

Summary
“Who knows the Emperor’s mind better than his wife?” Csevet asked. She looked up at that to fix him with a pointed look, and he flushed slightly. “Well. That would be a whole other degree of scandal. They will accept thee, Csethiro. It is not permanent; they need only recognize thee as speaking for the Emperor until he is recovered.”
“Thou’lt help?” she asked him, a pleading note in her voice.
He only gave her a small smile again, as if he had an idea of what she was thinking. “Of course, Highness.”Maia is incapacitated for several weeks after being poisoned. Csethiro, with Csevet’s aid, keeps the Empire running while he recovers.

Selected Letters of Csethiro Zhasan by astardanced
Fandoms: The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison
25 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
A great number of Edreveise Revival historians owe a mighty debt indeed to the prolific correspondence of one woman: Csethiro Zhasan, wife of Edrehasivar VII Zhas. The 316th empress of the Ethuveraz was a prolific letter-writer, and her letters to her most regular correspondents — her four sisters, Emiro, Hesiriän, Iru and Saleheio; her close friend and sister in law, Vedero Drazhin; her husband, Edrehasivar VII; and later, her three children — are some of the most prominent primary sources about the court and the Drazhada in the early Edreveise Revival period.

Summary
“You have it in your head that by taking yourself to the Alcethmeret, you are doing the emperor some great piece of… charity, loyalty, fidelity, we know not what,” the Dowager Marchioness had said to her. “Divest yourself of this notion. It achieves none of these things. What it achieves, is giving you nowhere to run when you put a foot wrong— which will happen, mark us on that point. The only way this foolish play can possibly work for you is if you are lucky. Pray do you think yourself lucky, Csethiro Ceredin?”
The fact was she did not, and indeed never had since she had been fifteen or sixteen— but she had not found the humility to say as much to her grandmother.

Summary
She had let go of everything else; hope of a retrieval, hope of an apology, hope of seeing her sisters or her son again. It would be enough to know. She did not have to do anything with the knowledge. Ulis would understand. Surely he would.
"To the best of your knowledge, Othala— is the Archduke Maia alive and safe?”
Thara Celehar stared at her for a very long moment, his grip on her trembling fingers very firm. Then he said;
“Sister— he is.”

Summary
“...forgive us for the presumption,” Edrehasivar said, tone slightly strangled in the way it always is when he doesn’t like what is coming out of his mouth. “But we thought, if we... that is, if we, er… attended... then you would not have to… no one would have to…" He sagged under our stares. “...stay behind,” he finished feebly.
We were at that moment visited by a terrible, inevitable vision of the Ethuverazhid Zhas cornered by our mother, and we confess we had to lean on the wall in a brief violation of Alchenar IX.I.VI. Even the edocharei seemed taken aback; even Cala. Edrehasivar looked horribly dismayed at this non-reaction, and immediately started to backtrack.
"We do not wish to inflict ourself," he said wretchedly. "It was only a— a thought…" He trailed off, but the pause persisted. In it, we reflected to ourself that while we had taken knives for this boy, and would willingly take plenty more, he had — indeed, has — a talent for making us want to scream in dismay.

Summary
I look forward to hearing from you. Let me know how Dior is getting on; he does write to Lómion and Tyelpë, but I would like to hear your thoughts as well, as someone who understands what it is to rule. And Tyelpë gets annoyed if I ask to read his letters.
Maedhros
Also, whilst I am writing this and have your attention, please remind Túrin to write home to his parents and sister. They are trying to plan Nienor’s wedding, and he has not yet given them an answer as to when he and Beleg will return to Dór-Lomin. I normally would not be reduced to messenger like this, but even I fear the wrath of an irate mother trying to make plans, as any sensible person would.

Summary
This is the first girl who’s ever asked Mike out — something he had, in the not too distant past, been terrified would never happen. And Mike just stands there, feeling like his dining hall dinner is about to crawl back up his esophagus.
Jeremy, Saint Jeremy, nudges him with an elbow. “He’s kind of private about it, but Mike actually has someone back home.”
Mike turns his head to look at Jeremy, expecting a knowing smile or the hint of a wink. But Jeremy actually looks sincere, which makes Mike’s eyebrows sink down, almost to the top of his nose.
“Will, right?” Jeremy supplies, forever trying to be helpful. “He’s at CalArts?”

Mike kicks his feet into the space in front of them, as he looks down at the ground. There was a time, a year ago now, where Mike’s first thought would be dangerous, something that could get him institutionalized if anyone knew. Now, he’s mostly contemplating how it would be if he takes Will’s hand again, links their fingers together, traces the back of Will’s knuckles, and slowly pours each of his feelings out into the open.
(Or, It's summer of 1989 and Mike Wheeler learns that he's allowed to be happy.)

“You’re all happy. Did you already meet a hot widow with two kids?”
“I don’t think he’s a widow.” Steve says, eyes trained on the road. “And I don’t think he’s got any kids either.”
Robin shrieks beside him. “But there is a him?”
“I– sorta, yeah. I went to get coffee before I came here and the barista was like, crazy hot and I gave him my number.”

Summary
Eddie gulps down soda until he has no choice but to breathe or choke, then runs the bottle over his face and throat with a groan. The chilled glass feels amazing against his heated skin, sending a shock of cold dancing along his nerves. Condensation drips down his neck and soaks into the hem of his shirt until he raises the bottle to his lips and drains it completely. He opens the cooler again to swap his empty bottle for a full one and nudges Steve on the leg. “Harrington?”
“Huh?”
“Soda?”
“Hell yeah, give it here.” Steve blindly holds a hand out in his direction, hovering demandingly in the air, and otherwise does not move.
Eddie eyes the bottle and grins to himself as a wicked thought occurs. It won’t go well for him. He’s sure of it. But since when has that stopped him?
“Okay, man, sure. Here you go,” he says, affecting as innocent a tone as he can manage. He grasps the bottle, moves right past Steve’s outreached hand, and presses the icy glass against his bare stomach.
