    Summary

    “Then he drew a knife from his belt, and all Nicolò could think was no, not again, he didn’t want to keep doing this. He was too tired to move. But the Saracen didn’t attack. Instead, he pushed his sleeve up and cut himself, a deep slice across the muscle of his forearm. They watched it heal, skin sealing back together, the wound vanishing like a drop of blood in water.

    He spoke again, his tone full of desperation, whatever the words were. Again, angrier this time, he cut. Ranted in disbelief and denial, as if he pleaded with Nicolò to explain, which Nicolò couldn’t do. Cut himself again, and again, a thicket of bleeding wounds, blood dripping down the blade, his arm. All the cuts healed, vanished.

    Nicolò reached over and caught the Saracen’s wrist, stopping him. The Saracen stared, as Nicolò pried the knife from his hand, and let his wrist go.”

    (In which I tackle the origin story…)

    Summary

    One of the families living in their building had been out celebrating a grandma's birthday, and that had meant three apartments full of people spreading out in the courtyard. She and Sébastien had gotten pulled into the festivities, along with a couple of other neighbors, and she’d ended up playing a disorganized match of football with the little kids while Sébastien operated as a kind of really permissive and improvisational ref.

    Summary

    He found himself pacing, the back of his neck going damp with sweat. Nervous. Anxious. The longer it took, the more he felt adrift.

    Summary

    Yusuf is in the ocean, drowning; he has been in the ocean, drowning, for five hundred years. Nicky knows this. So when Merrick captures Nicky, the last thing he expects to find in Merrick's lab is Yusuf, let alone a Yusuf who is whole, well, and taunting the guards in modern English. As they work together to make their escape, rejoin their family, and keep themselves safe from Merrick's greed, Nicky cannot help but wonder: exactly how long Yusuf has been free? And if he did escape the coffin before Merrick could find him, why did he never come to find Nicky?

    Summary

    It was an early shoot, and all he wanted to do was get back to bed the minute they let him go. Which would probably be late that night. The thought made him sigh and rub at his eyes. Just because his job was unusual didn’t mean it didn’t wear him out. But he'd never found one yet that didn't.

    Summary

    “Nice to meet you,” she said, glancing at him. “I’m Nile, I’m your nurse today.”

    “Nice to meet you,” he mumbled. She saw his eyes flicker over her, checking her out. Very naughty patient behavior.

    Summary

    The story behind what happened in the kitchen:

    His Alexander, ever the morning person, was already awake and was probably at the Institute already. Magnus expected the loft to be quiet when he emerged from his room, since their guests were probably still resting.

    Imagine his surprise when he heard voices. Magnus paused, eyes narrowing. He followed the scent of something buttery that drifted up from the kitchen and the low hum of voices.

    And then he saw them.

    Alexander’s rune-marked forearms crossed casually as he leaned against the counter, coffee in hand. Across from him stood Nicky, flipping pancakes with surprising ease, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. There were plates stacked with delicious looking pancakes beside him.

    Summary

    Instead of the cacophony of screaming he expected, though, there was only one surprised gasp. Somehow in this fancy carriage there was but one passenger, and she was sitting up eyes wide staring at him with quite the astonishment on her pretty face.

    Summary

    There are many constants. And there are many variables.

    Booker stays. Booker changes. It's a neverending cycle...

    This is one of the times he's changed.

    Booker Dewitt stopped being Booker Dewitt and instead took up the name of Henry Stein...

     

    Safe to say he's absolutely pissed off at what Joey Drew did.

    She was... not nervous. That wasn’t really the word for it. Anxious maybe. Excited. The same way she felt every time they did this, no matter how they were playing it.

    Summary

    “Thought you’d be tired,” he said, sitting up a little as she approached the bed.

    “The water woke me up,” she said, climbing up onto the bed, grinning with the tip of her tongue between her teeth as she looked him up and down. He felt like prey. The very idea gave him a jolt.
