When Daine accidentally interrupts the fallout, she gets more than she bargained for when she finds out just how much George sees. Post-RotG where Daine and Numair have not begun a romantic relationship. One-shot.

Tarshim is a terrible place...full of those filled with anger and hatred. I'm glad I left. Although I guess I could have thought of a better escape plan. If it wasn't for Numair and Daine I would have been dead by now... but I'm glad I get a second chance...

A short Numair/Daine drabble following the end of RotG to let us see how their relationship might have unfolded; pure fluff, for fun alone. My first story, so reviews are welcome.

A collection of drabbles based on the prompts of the Tamora Pierce Drabbles livejournal community. Each entry is meant as a standalone and they are not meant to be sequential or take place in the same timeline. Mix of canon-compliant and au. Some may fit together but that is up to reader interpretation. Ch 1-45 written 2009-2011, CH 46 written in 2019 and differ in style.

A short OS of Daine and Numair set just after the scene in Lady Knight where Kel witnessed Daine and Numair's reunion at Haven. I haven't proof read this yet, so I apologize for any grammatical errors.

Jonathon the king must send Numair to Carthak, because his presence has been requested. But Jon, the man, knows that such actions have consequences. A look at Jon's point of view, during the 'Emperor Mage'.

"He was alive, not in Ozorne's dungeons, and in very close proximity to some very unexpected company. Rana, no last name: Player and prostitute." My imagination filling some of the gap between Tempests and Slaughter and Wild Magic. An exercise in character creation, done in snippets.

When conflicting reports come from Tortall's borders bringing news of intrigue and hints of war, Jonathan sends out Numair and Daine to verify which information is accurate.

Betrayed, imprisoned, and forced into exile, Arram Draper drifts through the world in search of his true home but can he ever truly be happy when the shadows of his past continue to tear at his heels? Inspired by The Immortals Quartet and The Numair Chronicles but takes a lot of creative liberties, effecting a darker and far more mature tone.

Everyone deserves a bit of luck on Midwinter. Post-RotG. AU timeline where Daine and Numair are not together. Fluff and flirtation.

Lindhall has a conversation with his former student about things that change, and things that stay the same. A missing conversation from Emperor Mage set after the Graveyard Hag's trick with the rats. EM and T&S canon compliant.
