Summary
Since series can't be linked as an 'inspiring work, here's the main Friends Across Borders series page.
This FAB-art series will mirror the epic story that spawns the art, and individual artworks (chapters) will have a link to the chapter it goes with. For now, they're in the order I finish them in, but eventually I'll rearrange them in story order.

Summary
Spring is the season of new beginnings and fresh growth, but the start of a war far too few believe is coming likely isn't quite what that sentiment intends. Between border-folk seeing signs years ago, oddly knowing soldiers pressing the issue whenever they can and support from the highest echelons of Sunhame, if not those they could use the direct assistance of, the Firestarters of Karse have more allies in this than they've had in centuries.
But will allies from within be enough?

Summary
The human was sitting in the snow with their eyes closed, but they were sitting, not sprawling, and they were breathing, so maybe they were fine, but they had to be cold! And Jorah, Companion Foal Extraordinaire, knew exactly how to fix that!
Aelius, meanwhile, was enjoying a bit of cool-down meditation after his first proper run of the year, snow and all.

It feels like half the nation is converging on Sunhame in the hopes of glimpsing another series of miracles - hopes that all those actually involved in the last year's miracles are, in turn, very much hoping will be dashed.
Unfortunately for all involved, there will be few, if any, miracles. There will be no less work.

Summary
Aelius was growing rather fond of Valdemar, though admittedly his opinion was being rather deeply shaped by Herald Kantor's gossip-for-ales deal and the man's practically encyclopedic knowledge of the best places to find a good brawl in this city. Shame he couldn't figure out what exactly the deal was with this mysteriously un-elaborated upon Heraldic selection process, much less the white horses everyone was so certain were critical to a Herald's identity...

Tags
Summary
Aelius had found allies in the Valdemaran capital's scholars, though Kantor would undoubtedly insist they were his friends. Whatever the word, their acquaintance was useful and fascinating besides.

Chance Meeting by Origami_Roses for MueraRashaye
Fandoms: Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey
25 Jul 2019

Summary
The lovely MueraRashaye, creator of Friends Across Borders, has given us a few tidbits about the Companion Aelius and his previous life/ lives. We know that he can somehow pressure Rolan; he and Kantor were/are friends; and in his Heraldic life, he was a mercenary.
MR and I have been discussing what Aelius' backstory might be like, and this is an idea I threw out in that discussion that turned out reasonably well IMO. I'm not hinting what he has on Rolan (and in any case, the details of it all are still being decided), but here's my take on how Aelius and Kantor started their friendship. There is ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEE the eventual story will even vaguely resemble this when it finally gets written. But I hope you enjoy it anyway.Series
