Kieran's perspective of The Joining with Poppy and Cas. Because Poppy was...a little vague on the details, and Kieran is lovely. This sticks to canon, so spoilers for TWoTQ and prior books, as is probably obvious.

PWP. Many people seemed a bit disappointed with this scene in TWOTQ so here's my reimagining of it. Mature readers only, please.

When Malik finds Casteel after years of searching, he almost makes it out, he would have done if not for Shea's betrayal, but he'd do anything for his baby brother, even allow himself to be captured by the Ascended.

Screaming babies are one thing, getting to see her husband calm them down is quite the opposite, a sight that Sera could never tire of. It's been far too long since she saw him for more than a few moments, but perhaps Ash has a plan to deal with that. Rated M for smut in chapter 3.

Oneshot. Hawke had waited for Poppy that day she was summoned to the Duke's office.

The war is over, Atlantia is safe, they have all the time in the world to do everything and nothing, but first, the celebration that should have occurred months ago is long overdue.

Everything was ruined. Tomorrow Nyktos would take her as Consort, but it could never mean anything, and it was all her fault. It was getting harder and harder to stay away from her, despite everything, but he couldn't afford to listen to his foolish, aching heart.

It's taken a few months for Kieran to convince Poppy to leave baby Coralena for more than a few moments, it's just as well that she's not as troublesome as his little sister.

It's been nine long months, but soon Poppy will be able to finally hold her baby, to take the first step towards a better future for them all.

Being pregnant is tough, especially when you're the Queen who had work to do, it's just as well that Poppy has Casteel to take care of her after a long day.

Casteel remembers exactly where he is, but this time, he knows who is responsible for everything, who will laugh and enjoy every moment of pain as she forces him away from who he is. Poppy's heart aches to retrieve the man she loves from Isbeth, to heal all of their hearts along the way, but with her hear in pieces, her attention distracted by worry, she must find a way to face he

When Casteel escapes from the Ascended, he loses everything, his brother, his fiancee, but all he knows is that he has to make it home, to the brother racing across the world to find him before its too late.

This is Hawke/Casteel's perspective of the scene in From Blood and Ash when he finds Poppy on the Rise during the Craven attack. Cross-posted from AO3.

After finding out the truth of Poppy's heritage, Casteel decides to show his wife the respect owed to her. Set post-The Crown of Gilded Bones, so definite spoilers! Cross-posted from AO3.

Keiran's been left to babysit his little sister for a few hours, nothing could go wrong, or could it? Luckily Poppy is on hand to save him, getting her thinking about families, the future she wants to start with Casteel.
