Brennaolin is a small but hardy ship

I found this in my drafts from March. March!

There may not be a lot of us but damn if we don't cross-pollenate like mad.

Which is to say, "war prize Brennan" is originally the fault of @bookreaders24 and @benetnaschshugo and I am glad @bookreaders24 was willing to share.

(fic and art both under the readmore)

--

Brennan knew it sounded dramatic and illogical. It was probably the reason they discouraged serious relationships in the Quadrant. But he was entirely confident that Naolin had been the love of his life, and when the man had been declared missing and presumed dead after an attack from the venin empire, Brennan thought he would fall apart.

The Quadrant wouldn't let him fall apart, though. His duty as a squad leader got him through the year, because they were depending on him. The year after that, it was an entire wing that he was responsible for.

Brennan even tried dating again his third year, but it was useless. Everyone either reminded him of Naolin or couldn't compare to his memory. He put his effort the only place he could, training to fight the empire that had taken Naolin from him.

Even if graduation didn't bring the catharsis he'd hoped for. Even if he felt like he was being coddled to and held back from making a real difference because his signet was *too useful.* Even as he realized that most of leadership was just following Melgrin's notes like they were acting out a play, not trying to win a war.

Even when he wound up captured during a battle near the former Tyrrish capital of Aretia, lost to the venin empire decades before. He expected to be ransomed back to Navarre, or used to threaten his mother.

He didn't expect to be dressed as a concubine and brought before the imperial court.

He didn't expect to recognize the heir to the throne.

"Naolin?"
