Summary
You kissed John like the animal you had become, and he responded with the fealty of a child, and then with the force of a god, and then with the passion of the abandoned.

Summary
[...] John awakened and said, Annabel, good morning.
To which Alecto replied, You stain upon this universe, you miserable wretch. Blood of my poisoned blood, I hand you my soul to feast upon and once again you make a mockery of me. Cursed be the day you first opened your eyes and set them upon my face.
To which she added, I have missed you for nine thousand years.

Summary
Admiral Sarpedon of the Ceaseless Fleet knows perfectly well that he’s far too old to be carrying on like this.
Were he ever in any danger of forgetting, his body would unhappily remind him at the first opportunity: God keeps such irregular hours these days, and Sarpedon gave up on late nights fifteen years ago, and if he yawns his stiff, sore way through one more morning meeting the Admiral of the Dead Sea is probably going to wait until after the Emperor inevitably slumps to sleep in his chair at the end of the table and then jump on the opportunity to say the quiet part out loud and pointedly ask Sarpedon what he got up to last night, because that’s just the sort of thing she would do. And it’s not as if Sarpedon doesn’t already know exactly what it is that all the various young people under his command are snickering about whenever they think his back is turned, but the prospect of having the subject so publicly raised is nonetheless unbearable.
And yet.
(Sarpedon has gay sex with God. It could’ve gone better.)

Summary
You have a not-especially-vested interest in not bringing up the Emperor’s dead Hands, those who betrayed him (at least half) and those he preferred to you (probably all, you anemic milk-slick, you eclipse-shadow of greatness). Your position is precarious. You are intimately goddamn aware of it.
But at least you have the same old advantages as always: in the deep and twisty vessel of you there is not one scruple nor drop of shame. And you are accustomed to being the overlooked sister.
--
John and Ianthe deal with the fact that his only remaining Lyctor is the one he never liked much. Maybe they can bond over the fact that they're both egotistical manipulators who lie like breathing? No?
Also, God sees ghosts. Ianthe doesn't help.

Summary
He wanted to fuck John because he because he cared about him, even if he couldn't say it out loud. He didn't want to fuck John as a convenient way for both of them to have a better orgasm, like they always had; he didn't want to fuck John to stop him from killing off another hundred cops.
But he would do anything for John. He'd known that in his bones for a long, long time.

Summary
This is what had always been most treacherous about the Forsaken One--people are usually acclimated to its presence, long before they’re sacrificed to it. Loneliness isn’t the experience of finding yourself the only person in an empty room. Most of the time, people feel loneliness like a habit. Sometimes, there’s no reason for it all.

Summary
Martin had not been in love enough, not like this, to figure out if, sometimes, having your feelings returned was just as hard as not. If this was normal. From the way Jon had looked at him these past few months, neither had he.
or. That weird mood you get when you've known your crush reciprocates your feelings for months, but it's just been really not the time.

Summary
They still haven't talked about it, any of it, not even to pass the time on the long train ride to Scotland. Instead, Martin fell asleep in the seat next to him, pressed into his side from shoulder to knee, and Jon thought about love confessions and verb tense and how the two fit together when you think you're dying.
or: Good cows, mediocre poetry, and other crucial topics of discussion.

Martin gnaws his lower lip. “Do you think he’ll - I mean, do you think it’ll be…”
Melanie's smile becomes a little less of a grimace. She claps his shoulder. “Martin. It’ll be fine. It’s only temporary. He’s not moving in.”
Martin chuckles. “Yes. Of course.”
