Title: Crumbling Courts Rating: PG Word Count: 168 Summary (and any Warnings): Fugitive!Rizu, kinda. Notes/Links: Somewhat unrealistic, but it was fun to write. Also, AU.
Rizuka fa Dalach, former Mistress of the Imperial Wardrobe, finds the threads of her life beginning to unravel with stunning rapidity. With Empress Berenene's death, the palace at Dancruan no longer glitters and thrums with heartbreak, vivacity and passion. Soon Rizu finds herself banished from imperial favour by her former mistress's grasping, ambitious ex-lover, Pershan fer Roth, and his powerful, paranoid paramour-mage, Quennaill Shieldsman. Desperate to escape Namorn, she enlists the help of influential people in the Mages' Society who dare to defy the monarch - among them, the wealthy Bancanor family.
While she's in hiding at the Bancanors' house, Rizu meets an equally rich friend and ally of theirs - one Daja Kisubo, a smith from Emelan with the loveliest smile and most alluring hands. When Daja makes an extraordinary offer, one Rizu knows she won't be able to refuse, will love keep fanning the flames of their new romance? Or will it end in embers and ash as Daja discovers the truth behind Rizu's real relationship with Berenene?

OOOooohh. Love. I also like your alliteration, particularly the "powerful, paranoid paramour-mage".
