<p>Aaron didn't die last night; another boy did, knifed in the back for the crime of looking like him. In another story, that dead boy would have been a hero. Aaron, street rat and former right hand of another dead man, is... not. Still, his Death is willing to allow the switch, if he behaves himself. Aaron's not very good at that, either.</p> <p>Foxes, fey, and Deaths who play at politics.</p> <p>This novel is complete; going to rapid-post the first few chapters, with new chapters weekly after that.</p> <p>AO3-style tags, by request:</p> <p>Gen, ace lead, what if we were living in a deterministic universe but some of our Deaths like fanfiction, …that they are writing with real lives, and other Deaths be like STOP EDITING MY BOOK, anyway I'm sure it won't affect Aaron He Can't Read, literal illiteracy is accidentally metaphorical, found family, this was going to be an empire builder but colonizing is lame so let's have a DIPLOMACY BUILDER instead, humanity are foods not friends, (source: most of the world), but they are kind of friend-shaped tho?, (source: cats), humanity is going extinct, but not in a depressing way, more of a Want To Bet way, if they win they get a bonus prize, if they die they never have to pay up, that's win-win right?, Aaron is squinting suspiciously at this growing wall of text, still can't read though</p>
