“Well, take it. I don’t have all day, kupo.”
Sawyer was jarred from her momentary fixation on the wax seal as the letter was foisted into her hand. She offered a muted thanks to the postmoogle, whose cap was politely tilted before he fluttered off with his comically large bag in tow. For some reason it occurred to her to check the plaza before she turned to make a swift stride for the privacy of the inn room, and though she didn’t see any overly suspicious onlookers, she felt compelled to hold the letter against her middle, hiding the seal from view.
She’d always dreaded this day. She knew it would only be a matter of time, but as all pasts do, hers was catching up with her in a moment where it had scarcely crossed her mind in moons. Hoping she’d simply mistaken the seal for another, she folded the letter back just enough to peek at it again. Familiar heraldry pressed into blue wax and brushed with gold paint caused the dread in her chest to rise into her throat as bile.
The Supreme Sacred Tribunal of Halonic Inquisitory Doctrine sends its regards.
The door behind her was closed abruptly, and now in the safety of her inn room, she tore through the seal with an urgency that would be unbecoming of her in any other setting, and it was only now that she realized her hands were shaking as she held the letter still enough to skim. Her eyes darted around the page, searching for alarming words or phrases—summons to appear before the Tribunal for inquest or a polite request that she surrender herself for gaol so that they wouldn’t have to send the Inquisition to retrieve her personally.
It was only when she did not see such demands that she finally read the letter in full.
To one Miss Sawyer Reeves,
It was in pursuit of Her Holiest Ideals and the preservation of Decency, Justice, and Dignity that the Inquisition didst carry out the will of the Fury to what ends were deemed necessary to protect the Sanctity of Ishgard and her Peoples, but with such Revelations as were made known after the death of His Eminence, Archbishop Thordan VII, Reform and Restitution to what extent we are able have thus become the preeminent duty of The Supreme Sacred Tribunal of Halonic Inquisitory Doctrine and its constituents (henceforth referred to as “The Tribunal”).
This correspondence has been sent to all parties of ongoing Investigations, Trials, and Inquisition of claims to Heretical Activity that have yet to be concluded, do not have sufficient evidence of such, or wherein interruptions did not allow the Tribunal to function as an extension of the Fury’s judgment in a fair and impartial Trial or did not allow a challenge to Trial by Combat to conclude with a victor on Record.
As such, your challenge to Trial by Combat issued to ███████ ███████ on the grounds that he partook of Heretical Activity has been annulled and the charges leveled against Ser ███████ have been dropped from the Official Record, despite the inconclusive results after your unsanctioned withdrawal from the Tribunal arena. Though we believe your unsanctioned withdrawal to have been born of brazen cowardice and remains a slight against the Fury’s divine will, the Tribunal no longer wields Her judgment in the matter. As such, the trial record has been amended to have no conclusive victor and your criminal history has been expunged in the eyes of the Holy See of Ishgard and all official bodies therein.
No further Investigation into your original claim will take place, and your status as a fugitive from the Inquisition has been annulled. Your previous standing as a ward of House Haillenarte has not been reinstated on the grounds that such patronage is only within the purview of the Lord or Lady of the House to grant, and will require correspondence with said Lord or Lady to reclaim.
You are free to return to Ishgard without fear of repercussion, however we advise you to be minded of this most benevolent allowance and act with requisite decorum should you choose to return. Fury have Mercy upon your soul.
- Auphent Gauvane
Clerk of the Supreme Sacred Tribunal of Halonic Inquisitory Doctrine Records Office
Sawyer took a moment to breathe. Then another.
The fluster to get inside the door and the following silence roused curiosity from the raen that resided with her in the inn room, a pair of scaled arms winding around the hyur’s waist. “Hawk?” she called, wary and concerned.
“It’s… a letter from Ishgard. From home,” Sawyer admitted, though she wasn’t prepared for her voice to break over the final word as it did. She drew a shaking breath, then wrapped her arms around Amesha fully. “They’ll allow me to return without consequence. I am a free woman, but…”
“But…?” Amesha prompted her to continue.
Sawyer whispered. “Why am I terrified?”

(XIV||22-30): Sojourn.
(Concluded from here.) (♪ - I’m not crying, you’re crying!)
On the other side of the steps, she saw more friendly faces. Miovont de Kotelleloix and the crew of his ship; she had helped them on a recent excursion into Dravania, and it seemed they were here to repay her efforts with their support. Silvaineaux de Rosaire, the Baron of Ishgard who had been the first to recognize her after the posters went up; his face remained impassive, but he was present. Sawyer Reeves, Brumeling soldier and machinist, and her perpetual companion Amesha, whom Anne-Sophie had worked with for a brief time in the First Shard. Rae-Hann, too, the ‘miqo’te’ who was actually a Mystel from the First; another traveller whose presence here may lend credence to her primary defensive strategy. Trineaux, as well, radiating his faith in the Fury and his love for her.
Suos Cultores Scientia Coronat. Knowledge crowns those who seek her. Her House’s words; she could only hope the judges would see their wisdom.
“Ser Anne-Sophie Delaunay Bale, you stand accused of heresy, and your trial is about to commence. As you are present on your own recognizance, can you say before all assembled that you are aware of the charges you face, and what the consequences may be if you are found guilty in the eyes of the Fury and Her Judges?”
Anne-Sophie turned her eyes up to the clerk, and bowed as artfully as she could, given that her hands remained cuffed behind her back. “I am aware of both, Magistrate.”
“Very well. Into the Tribunal, then, and may the Fury’s verdict be the perfect justice of the divine.”
Anne-Sophie took a deep breath, and walked forward to meet her fate.
---Previously that day, near Whitebrim Front:---
For the first thirty two years of her life, Anne-Sophie’s path wore the mantle of predestination. Like countless other Ishgardian nobles, she was born into relative privilege; she received excellent schooling and tutoring in courtly arts; she trained to fight the dragons; she went to services at Saint Reymnaud’s; she was knighted; she fought the dragons and suffered loss; she returned home to recuperate, only to serve another tour of duty.
Duty.
Like many other Ishgardians, Anne-Sophie deviated from that path internally; defied it. Is that all there is? How many of those whose bones littered Witchdrop’s caverns died with that question still on their lips, still unanswered? When Ishgard withdrew from the rest of Eorzea after the red moon fell, why had they continued to fight for xenophobic zealots? Perhaps they were all boiled frogs, but some, like her, harbored private doubts. Was it dishonorable to think there could be a better way?
Honor.
Unlike many other Ishgardians, Anne-Sophie’s desire to find a better way led her to a different world. All that private tutelage in the scholarly arts of distant lands; all that knowledge deemed by the Orthodoxy not fit to crown anyone but themselves. The more recent five years of her life were devoted to applying that knowledge. When she’d returned from her sojourn in that far-off-yet-so-near reflection of her home star, she’d found within herself a surprising commitment to protecting it, unlike any she’d had before she’d fallen through her magicked mirror. To take on a squire and train him well; to see the hoarded knowledge of House Bale used to better a battered Ishgard; to offer her knowledge to new friends, that they might lift themselves beyond their woes.
Chivalry.
Like only the most fortunate Ishgardians, she’d found another whose heart aligned with hers; whose flaws neatly fit the jagged edges of her own. A goodly man from a House driven to dust, his pendant shining blue as his eyes when he gave her the strength to overcome ink-black despair.
Love.
“You don’t have to do this, Ser,” the scout’s voice said, low and urgent in the dawn snows. “Lots of us in Ishgard learned about what you did, and we support you. Would be a terrible waste of a clever mind, dashin’ it against the rocks.”
“My mind is not so unique, friend. Nothing about me is, not really. Perhaps my access to resources that helped me achieve my feat is the most outstanding thing about me.” Her reply was even-keeled, laden neither with self-pity nor self-deprecation. “In fact, I fully expect to come out of this quite alive, and with a new law on the books that protects others who want to learn how to achieve what I did.”
The faceless scout kept to the treeline. Her sharp eyes watched the Mystic Knight in her dress armor make her approach to Whitebrim Front, the narrows of Daniffen Pass receding behind her. Anne-Sophie made this journey on foot, knowing that Vendredi would be better off in Trineaux’s care at the Greens. The chocobo had not wanted to be left behind; a sign of true devotion for a steed that accompanied her through many scatterbrained travels. She’d see him again, she’d assured him. Though she labored to believe her own words, she had to in order to do what she knew was right.
Faith.
“I just think...y’know, if you give me the word, you’ve got friends. I can spread the message, and we’ll get you out of your holding cell. No death, nothin’ like that. Just somethin’ that spreads the blame across the Faceless. Wherever Duskwights are, we also aren’t, at the same time.”
That key phrase sounded familiar, and then it struck her; Miovont. She couldn’t hide the smile that filled the tone of her reply with golden honey. “Tell the Dark Knight that his offer is appreciated, but unnecessary. Thank you.” She sensed the scout’s presence nearby for a little longer, as if she was waiting for the Hyuran woman to change her mind, and then that shadowy presence melted away.
Anne-Sophie was only alone for a few more moments; Whitebrim Front was but a few yalms away. Turning her eyes back to the path she’d walked, her footprints already obscured by falling snows, she offered a prayer to Halone. Once her heart was as steady as she could will it, she spoke with the half-asleep guard on duty, who came to full readiness when he recognized her.
As she’d predicted the night before, she was surrounded by Temple Knights in short order, stripped of arms and armaments, given a simple woolen robe and worn leather boots to pull over her linen smallclothes. Her answers to their questions came confidently at first, but as the sun rose higher behind the snowclouds, a distant ringing filled her ears, growing louder each time an increasingly-mechanical answer fell from her lips. She felt separate from her own flesh, untethered, as if she were watching everything happen to someone else. By the time her wrists were clapped in irons and she was guided to the wagon prepared for her, her confidence had sublimated.
Anne-Sophie Bale, in flight for so long, was apprehended at last.
---
((OOC note: Anne-Sophie’s story will continue with the Trial of Ser Bale at some point in the near future! I’m still looking for people who want to help make that an event. Additionally, the end of this story picks up at the first italicized post from Solution; all the italicized posts tell their own consecutive story about her carriage ride to the Tribunal.))

Friction: Reeve and Leary's Story
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: June 27, 2023
Synopsis:
Leary Michaels has no problem using her feminine charms to daze her legal adversaries so they don’t see her coming in for the kill. On her most personal case yet, she finds herself battling an attorney who’s just as skilled, seductive and shamelessly determined to beat her at her own game.
As a partner at Knight & Payne, I know what it takes to succeed—hard work, long hours and occasionally turning up my female powers of persuasion. I’m not afraid to show a little skin if it’s going to get me what I want and I’ve been known to ignore the ethics rules a time or two.
The opponent on my current case is nothing but a sleazy corporate lawyer willing to sell his soul to the devil to help his rich clients get richer by sticking it to innocent people like my client. No matter how devastatingly handsome Reeve Holloway is, I have zero qualms messing with his head… both above and below his belt. I’ve deviously planned out our first meeting and one excruciatingly long elevator ride at the courthouse leaves me with my stockings down, Reeve begging for more and the two of us on a decidedly unethical path to the bedroom.
As the case and our dalliance go on, I find that my initial impression of Reeve couldn’t be further from reality. What starts as a couple of workaholics blowing off steam turns into something deeper than we ever wanted. But pillow talk can be dangerous when you’re walking a moral line and Reeve’s law firm has made it clear they’ll stop at nothing to win.
When the gavel comes down on our case, I can’t help but feel as if I’m losing everything I’ve worked so hard to attain. As our hearts become more entwined, can we find a way to battle in the courtroom or will the friction cause our love to burn to ashes?
NOTE: Friction: Reeve and Leary’s Story was originally released as Friction by Montlake in 2015. This tale of two attorneys battling it out in the courtroom received a fresh polish but the story remains the same—smart, sassy and smoking hot.

As a partner at Knight & Payne, I know what it takes to succeed—hard work, long hours and occasionally turning up my female powers of persuasion. I’m not afraid to show a little skin if it’s going to get me what I want and I’ve been known to ignore the ethics rules a time or two.
The opponent on my current case is nothing but a sleazy corporate lawyer willing to sell his soul to the devil to help his rich clients get richer by sticking it to innocent people like my client. No matter how devastatingly handsome Reeve Holloway is, I have zero qualms messing with his head… both above and below his belt. I’ve deviously planned out our first meeting and one excruciatingly long elevator ride at the courthouse leaves me with my stockings down, Reeve begging for more and the two of us on a decidedly unethical path to the bedroom.
As the case and our dalliance go on, I find that my initial impression of Reeve couldn’t be further from reality. What starts as a couple of workaholics blowing off steam turns into something deeper than we ever wanted. But pillow talk can be dangerous when you’re walking a moral line and Reeve’s law firm has made it clear they’ll stop at nothing to win.
As the gavel comes down on our case, I can’t help but feel as if I’m losing everything I’ve worked so hard to attain. As our hearts become more entwined, can we find a way to battle in the courtroom or will the friction cause our love to burn to ashes?
NOTE: Friction: Reeve and Leary’s Story was originally released as Friction by Montlake in 2015. This tale of two attorneys battling it out in the courtroom received a fresh polish but the story remains the same—smart, sassy and smoking hot.
