The concept of writing vanishing upon the writer's death + great word of mouth on the Bad Site + a 99-cent sale made me buy @mikesroberti.bsky.social's The Traitors We Are. A weird response to #RandomReevesWords made me buy @juliannejmauthor.bsky.social's Mages in the Mundane series. #PretendPanel
From Ripple:
“For all we know, this is either a trap, or a ploy to pull us away from their real targets. We’re talking about a point of space we’ve never seen before that’s unnervingly close to Polaris space and is two and a half days away at group maximum.”

A literal trap like a bear trap is used to sabotage the trials, and Dassan chooses to help the boy who was insulting him seconds ago instead of running on.
What he gets is more insults...

The land here, too, laid barren, but instead of the blistering summer desert, Val found herself in the biting chill of Winter. The sudden cold offered little to no relief after the sweltering heat she suffered before she closed her eyes to sleep.

Spinning it between her fingers, she inhaled the aroma, feeling the frayed edges of her nerves begin to weave back together, once more.
“Home,” she said to herself with a smile, tucking it behind her ear.

Then a family comes up and the father pretends not to understand the sign, even though his six-year-old literally reads it aloud. #Once I explain, the father asks that I let them ride for the sake of the children.

Aberosh (the first husband of the Empress) pretends not to hear... Crown Princess Hanada isn't interesting in repeating the cycle, but protocol must be followed. The Empress had to go through all of it when whe was young, so her daughter will do the same...

Yarain did not let her gaze waver from Sundale’s door. “My duties and performance have not suffered.”
“It’s you I’m worried about, Major. What good is this if he won’t respond?”
“Someone has to be here when he returns to us.”
Lieutenant Colonel Jason Harlem knelt beside her.

'I'll tell you later. You're of House Kior? Trained to be the new empress's first husband all your life?' Borlo shrugged. 'Um... No, as the third son, they sent me here because they didn't see much of a future for me anyway, like buying a lottery ticket for the unlikely chance of success. My older brothers already had future plans and marriage arrangements and all that. It seems highly unlikely to me that the princess will choose me, but I can't disgrace my family, so I have to do the best I can. And then, if I'm not chosen, I'll have to make sure I get back home without staying here as the princess's plaything... And above all, I'll have to make sure I survive the selection, right?' 'Ah, like that...' Dassan's thoughts drifted. He had trained for five months to understand the world of the nobles and be prepared for the Imperial Crown Prince Selection, but he found that he still didn't truly grasp what it was like to be born and live in that world. It was a very different world from his as a serf villager. And even to thagt he could no longer return now that his mother had sold him to pay off the family debts. He was completely cut off from his past now, and equally lacking a clear future. Borlo seemed to sense his doubts. 'Don't give up, it's always possible that someone claimed will win the selection. Emperor Consort Cambiss was a claimed, for example.' 'Yes, that was over two hundred years ago, and he wasn't the only husband of Empress Zelena III; she had a huge harem. No ambition here to become part of a large toy collection like that. I'm actually trying to become and remain a free man... But I have no idea how.'

I've taken a longer snippet to make things clearer, and now you have Dassan't story in a nutshell... He cannot return to his former life, and it's doubtful that he'll be chosen to be the first husband of the crown princess either. (Yanipol is rather matriarchal)

With bluesky adding a "drafts" area, we might finally be able to bring back #RandomReevesWords. It's just so busy sometimes that I'm not able to get it set every day, but being able to save drafts might help 👀
