Ino and Mireän decide their cousin Maia needs a special present for his twentieth birthday.

Here on AO3.

For the February Ficlet Challenge prompt "Pirates."

Five years after his coronation, Maia's aunt Shaleän comes to visit, bringing gifts - and a surprise.

Hi! We have never actually done a fic exchange before, so this is new and exciting!

Things we like:
Fluff
Fluffy smut
Worldbuilding
Fairy tales
People being kind to each other
Unpleasant people getting well-deserved comeuppances
More fluff

Things we are not as fond of:
Angst (unless it ends in fluff)
People being deliberately cruel to each other (unless they’re going to be getting a comeuppance shortly)
Noncon
Whump for the sake of whump

We adore Maia, Csethiro, and Csevet, and would absolutely love something centered on them figuring out how to build a working romantic relationship while also being the Emperor and his wife and his secretary and how that even works with all the layers of power differential and the fact that Maia has so much trouble believing people like him. Possibly some Csevet and Csethiro figuring out how their relationship works, friendship or allies or something more.

Or just fluff and/or smut and Maia being happy with two people who adore him. That is also a good option, always.

We would also be very happy with something focusing on Csevet and his interactions with his undersecretaries (he must have some! Were they Varenichebel’s before the big explosion? Do they resent Csevet? Are they glad to have a competent head secretary in place of a political appointee? How are they organized, anyhow?) or with the rest of Maia’s household. Or with his friend of the red ribbons and the couriers, who presumably have some sort of feelings about Csevet having so suddenly made it to such a prestigious - and powerful - position.

In sum, we are very grateful to our matched writer and/or artist, and look forward eagerly to the exchange!
