Summary
Sufficed to say, I was more than a little disappointed that Jacqueline Carey didn’t give Melisande the chance to make good on her promise to imprison Phèdre in Kushiel’s Chosen and bend her to her will. So I’m making do with my own musings on how this could have gone.
I am starting off in the middle of chapter 45, right before Joscelin attempts to spring Phèdre out of the secret prison at La Dolorosa. In this alternative universe, Joscelin and Ti-Phillipe delay this plan by one day, allowing time for Phèdre to be escorted to The Little Court first.
This is a work in progress, and while I do have an outline for the whole plot, I am nowhere near finished yet. Phèdre and Melisande are phenomenally written characters and Kushiel’s Legacy is an all-time favorite of mine, so I am a tad intimidated at the prospect of representing them faithfully, but I hope I do them a modicum of justice.

Summary
In an alternate universe where Mélisande has returned to Terre d'Ange under an amnesty decreed by Ysandre, who wagered that forcing her to live with Phèdre and Imriel would prevent her from resuming her ambitious games of power, Kushiel's descendant once again seizes the Winter Solstice celebration to extract a secret from Phèdre.

Summary
“If someone had told me at twenty that at fifty, I would be living the life of a Siovalese country squire, I would have laughed in their face. I was Cassiel’s, and Cassiel’s alone; at least, that is what I believed then. At the outrageous thought I would be foster father to a Prince of the Blood, let alone to have sired my own daughter, I would have wept with laughter. And at the notion I would be consort to a notorious Servant of Naamah for over thirty years, I would have drawn my daggers. Probably.”
Happy Longest Night everyone! A fitting occasion to publish the first chapter of a longer fic.
After Imriel, Joscelin and Phèdre have gotten their own daughter, Hélène. This is her story, told from her perspective, and from that of her doting father. Because she would not be their daughter if she would not get into all sorts of trouble. And Joscelin’s voice deserves to be heard!
From one Longest Night to the next - here we are. I wish you all joie!

Summary
Mélisande has returned to Terre d'Ange under an amnesty decreed by Ysandre: her new and far more effective prison is the maison where she lives with Phèdre and Imriel… along with the inevitable epic moments this entails, such as the one in this episode, where Phèdre boasts of her self-control in Mélisande's presence.

Summary
This story is part of a collection of short tales with a semi-serious tone, inspired by the Kushiel saga and drawn from a thought of Phèdre’s near the end of Kushiel’s Avatar, when she comes to define Imriel as the child of herself and Mélisande. The brilliant absurdity of that detail sparked wild fantasies in me about their family tableau, and the first episode was born almost as a joke.

A Kindness by goblins_riddles_frocks for tanwenmc

Summary
If it ever had been in question whether Melisande Shahrizai was of Kushiel’s direct line, such erroneous fantasies must surely be put to rest now. For who but a scion of Kushiel could wield cruelty so well, and so sweetly?

Summary
The experience in Caerdicca Unitas has changed Imriel, but it has only partially removed the tension from his relationship with Phèdre. As happy as she is to have him back home, a few months after his return, it is clear that there are still unresolved issues between them, thorny and cumbersome conflicts that only one person in the world claims to be able to dissipate. With this promise, Mélisande Shahrizai suddenly reenters Phèdre's life, proposing a controversial yet indispensable pact.
Twelve years later, Kushiel's chosen and his avatar find themselves face to face: which of the two will prevail in their eternal dance of love and hate?+++
The story is narrated from Phèdre's point of view, although it is set in the Imriel's trilogy, specifically after Kushiel's Scion, but unaware of the ending where Imriel decides to read his mother's letters.

Podfic reading of Waiting Game, by aliceinkinkland.
Author's summary:
Phèdre will come to her soon. Melisande must believe this. The game is begun, the players in motion. Melisande should enjoy this part. If all goes according to plan, perhaps Melisande will even look back in longing one day for the time Phèdre was not yet hers in entirety, the days when her yielding was ever a question.- Language:

Summary
"The Name of God ignited in my skull, blazing under the touch of her lips, her tongue. I saw our paths crossing and recrossing, the myriad paths of might-have-been. All the scenarios that might have happened, had events not fallen out as they did. And in each and every one, our fates were intertwined."
I decided to explore a might-have-been where Phedre wasn't reared in the cold and delicate mercies of the Night Court.
Risking everything to protect her little brother, a very young Phèdre leaves the life she has always known to reach the City of Elua... -

Summary
The condition of Ellyn nó Cereus’s birth has secured her a position as an adept in the Court of Night-Blooming Flowers, promising her a future of comfort and prosperity. However, she has always wished for a life more like her nursery mate, Phèdre nó Delaunay, had—a life destined for more than the simple service to Naamah. Ellyn’s wish is answered when she learns she is a safiriette, giving her unique talents when serving women patrons. Because of this, the Dowayne of Cereus House arranges for the bulk of Ellyn’s training in Naamah’s arts to be done under the tutelage of Marquise Solaine Belfours, where Ellyn is thrust into a world of intrigue and dangerous plots that not even Phèdre was privy to at the time.
