Summary
Cities are born by death, and Capitals are crowned by blood. Shifting the location of a country’s seat of government is not as simple as crossing out a name. For a City to lose its power, a sacrifice must be made.
The Silent Wars: fought in the shadows between competing Cities. Most humans aren’t even aware of them. They think simple policy decisions are behind it all, that the leaders of the country are the ones with the power.
Cities are ruthless. Not bound by the limits of mortality, convention, or love, never singed by the tale of Cain; to kill a brother is an act of justice and war is a sport.
What happens, then, if a man decides that he has the power to trade away the Capital for a City not yet in existence?

Summary
When Paris awoke, a week after the barricade had fallen, he had no idea who (or what) he was. He groaned, sitting up on the cobblestones of the dank alleyway, and grabbed his head. Everything was so much.
He carefully, painfully stood up, swaying on his feet. 'Still drunk, then,' he thought to himself. 'Same as always.'
Set in the universe of Paris Burning, a fan sequel.

Novokribirsk was consumed, utterly, by the horror of the Darkling's creation. The Shadow Fold twisted more than just the people.
-----
An exploration of Paris Burning in the setting of the Grishaverse. A series of one-shots, with some semblance of an overarching plot once I get past the cities' births.

Summary
Under the right circumstances, Cities are born, the living, breathing, feeling personifications of the buildings and streets that bear their names. Life for a City can be complicated and painful and very, very long...
For Gondolin, firstborn City of Middle-Earth, it was also... confusing.

Summary
Elrond and Rivendell are — not like Turukáno and Ondolindë; neither of them dances. They sit together, sometimes. Rivendell sits in the Hall of Fire on the nights when Lindir sings; more often than not Elrond will join them, and put his head on their shoulder, and sometimes one or the other of the twins will sit at their feet.
(Glorfindel's world was never wide, and after centuries of living here this new realm is still strange to him.)

Summary
Santa Rosa is a young man, and beautiful, dark-haired and dark-eyed and pale as the moon.
They love that about him, the tourism boards who put his high-cheekboned face on their advertisements for wine tours, the brewery that asks him to make an appearance for the one week a year they sell a particularly popular beer; the City can’t say no to them, not really, and so he smiles that soft meaningless smile into the camera and says yes, and lets them.
They cover up his scars. It’s almost sweet of them — if they’re going to sell Santa Rosa’s pretty face, they might as well do the work of it themselves.
