    Summary

    The impulse to declare herself unclean, damned for life, had only grown since Vale’s revelation. It seemed every few minutes she came to another related realization that made her question her very existence. A part of her wanted to tell Kai all of these things at once, to hurl them at him like a rain of bullets, to see if he could withstand. That same part of her said that he was going to leave her when he’d managed to fully think the situation through, would have no choice, so they might as well get it out of the way now. But the larger part of her was too tired and too afraid.

     

    A multi-part epilogue for The Dark Archive.

    Summary

    Irene was reminded suddenly of observing him as they’d escaped the prison in Venice, the way he’d seemed diminished, the confidence that so defined him badly shaken. That wasn't quite how he looked now -- it was somehow both better and worse. He was working so hard to keep up appearances that he almost managed to pull it off. But she knew him well enough to see the cracks in the façade, to see how utterly exhausted he was by it, and that was a stunningly intimate thing to realize.

      best read listening to Sarah Kinsley

      "'I see your point,' she said quietly. 'But I do not want to make promises I can’t keep.'

      'So keep them,' he implored, trying not to sound as desperate as he felt."

      .

      "He had never loved and lost before; it felt far worse than books made it seem. If only he could share that revelation with Irene."

      .

      "'I’m here. I’ll be here when you wake up.' It was all she could promise him; she wanted to give him so much more, but this would have to be enough for both of them."

    Summary

    There was still a part of Irene that wanted to apologize, that wanted to point out all of the ways she had hurt and failed him over the past few days alone. There was still a part of her that wanted to ask him if he was certain that he wanted to be with her despite everything. There was still a part of her that was insisting on detailing all of the ways she might lose him someday, all the ways that allowing herself to have this now could end up being horrifically painful.

     

    She was going to pitch that part of herself into the sewers and then leave it in this alternate for good measure.

    Summary

    An alternate ending to the Untold Story

    'Irene did not hesitate, grabbing Bradamant and hauling her up onto Kai's back, Vale behind her. Bradamant's breath was laboured but most importantly, she was breathing. The Library hadn't killed her just yet.'

    Irene and Kai return to London and to Bradamant, left with serious injuries and certainly not out of the woods yet, but healing burns is a lot easier than keeping emotions in check.

    Summary

    Kai had never prepared for death. There were many ways people died, he knew that from experience, but he never thought about how she would die. He never had to, until she was gone, and all that was left was an open grave and his beating heart.
    What he didn't know, however, is that there are as many ways to bring back the dead.

    Summary

    She gasped and sat up abruptly, Kai’s hands...or her own hands...falling off of her shoulders. Her body sat across from her, crouched in a more elegant way than she’d have thought her body capable of, and that sealed it for her. “Kai?”

     

    "Yes," he said immediately, actually managing to sound a bit irritated despite the utterly impossible circumstances that certainly seemed to more than justify her question. "Are you all right?"

    Irene decided to do what she did best in situations where she was uncertain of herself: dodge the question altogether. "You are -- in my body."

    "Yes," said Kai. "And you are in mine. And I am going to murder Silver very painfully if it turns out that he isn't already dead."
