Spark in Darkness no. 53 fic update

I realise I haven't been posting very much of this fic lately, which is weird considering it's the main one. Partly it's because faerie boys have been stealing my brain,so much so that they're even shouldering out Angel and even Generation Gap and Predator, both of whom are trying to make a come back.

Also, I'm reluctant. Darren was always no. 1 muse. I know more about him and Clan Camaalis than any of them (surprisingly little about Rick though, I'm still not happy with him). And he's going to collapse messily as always, fine, I expect that. But him without his wards (especially the ones I wrestle out of him NOT to do) is dancing in places few people are comfortable and making me question why I aren't more uncomfortable with the mental images.

Still, unpleasant self-analysis aside, here's the fic.

Light & Dark World building

Not plot or discourses just me tangling my head round FORMAL Seelie politics which is better when not done from Sitharensor's POV since he makes gross assumptions about what everyone SHOULD know and expect and besides, never thinks about the basic rules any more and will get too bogged down on the mincing little subtleties (such as the affect that various titles granted to fae will have on their rank).

So this is the EXTREMELY simplified version but will let me use them without having to explain as I go on.

NB: Ilatheril DOES know this - because he didn't need a Sidhe to teach him, any Unseelie who had studied their enemies would know most of it. Oh, and this is only the Seelie version, Unseelie do it differently.
