Summary: Asmodeus is a Fallen angel, cast out of the City for a crime he cannot remember. He took House Hawthorn from a cruel and unjust ruler, and though he was vicious with his enemies, he protected those who were his with all of his might. Thuan is the dragon prince who found himself in an arranged marriage with Asmodeus, and despite his sadistic husband's many flaws, decided there was something worth saving in both Asmodeus and their relationship.

Twenty years later, Thuan has been working hard to fix the political mess that has enveloped their world for centuries. Inter-House cooperation is at an all-time high; there's finally a chance for lasting peace.

All of which risks tumbling down when Thuan's dead body is dropped in front of House Hawthorn. Everyone expects Asmodeus to react in a vicious, bloodthirsty counter-attack. And he will... but he's not just going after whoever hurt Thuan. If even Thuan can't make the city safe, then clearly peace is not an option. The only way to keep Hawthorn and the rest of those dependent on him from harm is to destroy everyone who could potentially be a danger to them... and everyone who would try to do as Thuan did.

But Thuan may not be as dead as Asmodeus thinks, and Phyranthe, Asmodeus' Fallen companion and right-hand woman (fellow sadistic survivor of a world where torture was expected and murder common), finds that she doesn't want a return to the bad old ways. Not just because it would be dangerous for Hawthorn... but because it would be bad for Asmodeus, and maybe, even, for her.

Title: Blood of my Blood
Author: EstelRaca
Artist: 1001paperboxes
Fandom: Dominion of the Fallen by Aliette de Bodard
Characters/Pairings: Asmodeus/Thuan, Berith/Francoise
Rating/Category: PG-13
Genre: Grief/mourning, crisis of religion, relationship exploration
Word Count: 14800
Warnings: Secondary character death, canon-typical Christian heresy with maybe a little extra on top, broken bones, blood, self-harm in pursuit of magic
Summary: Asmodeus is Fallen, one of the angels cast out of the City and left to wander the mortal world bereft of memories, knowing only that they have lost something precious.  The Fallen rule Europe, and have colonized a great deal of the world, but their wars have also poisoned air and water.  Thuan is a dragon prince, married to Asmodeus during political upheaval.  Despite their courtship really starting when Thuan thrust a sword through Asmodeus' chest, the two dearly love each other, and the House that they protect.Twenty years after Asmodeus (somewhat immorally) convinced his Fall-sister Berith and her human wife and adopted child to move into Hawthorn, Berith finally succumbs to her long illness.  Asmodeus takes it as well as Thuan could have expected: he swears he is going to gift Berith's wife with another child, a child of Berith's blood and a soul that resonates with Berith's.  Given that the Fallen are unable to use their magic to heal and are all sterile, created that way by God, this is a harder task than it should be.  Thuan is there to make sure Asmodeus doesn't do something all of them will regret.
