    Summary

    Eames, the child of Mary Poppins and Bert Eames, rebels against his mother and his heritage in the wake of his father's death by joining the military. He quickly becomes involved with the PASIV project, as well as Arthur Darling and Robert Fischer. But the past, Eames learns, is difficult to escape—even for someone who is practically perfect in every way.

    Summary

    “This isn’t a hotel.” Eames tried to sit up and gave up before even getting his head off the pillows; he pouted, as though that were a thing for grown men to do, and Arthur merely watched as he then braced his right arm—the one that wasn’t black and blue from wrist to bicep and in a splint on top of that—on the bed and hauled himself into a very slightly more upright position slowly, grimacing as he did.

    “No, it’s not a hotel,” Arthur said at last, holding out the mug. Eames took it, looked into it, and frowned deeply at it before dumping the small cocktail of pills it held straight into his mouth. Arthur took the mug back to pour some of the actual tea. “What the hell makes you think I’d take you to an AirBnB?”

    “Well, I seem to have awoken in a very twee cabin.”

    “Fuck you,” Arthur said, and he set the mug and the pot down a little roughly on the table at the head of the bed and went off to see if the cold snap had hung around long enough for the front steps to need salting.

    Summary

    It's not that Arthur doesn't enjoy his boring job (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't have hobbies (because he does), and it's not that Arthur doesn't experience a surprising number of romantic prospects cropping up (because he does); it's just that he's not happy for no reason, and he can't stop texting his tailor.

    Summary

    'Do you have a heart attack?' Phee asked from somewhere under his elbow. He startled so hard that he almost fell off the tree stump.
    'No, erm, of course not,' eyeing her as he straightened his sweater. 'What makes you say so?'
    'You have a shallow breath and hold your belly like you're in pain,' she replied matter-of-factly. She looked tired, and there was a frown over her face which Linus didn't like. 'Just like Lucy said in his last book report.'
    Because of course Lucy, dear but morbid child that he was, picked for his reading of the month a book about cardiac problems after he learned about Linus' high blood pressure. As was to be expected, the symptoms, complications, and death cases were the focus points in his rather lengthy presentation.

    _
    A story of three months between Linus' return to the island and his move to the Marsyas House, in which he learns that there are more ways to express his feelings than just arts and crafts projects.

    Summary

    Arthur usually finds blatant fishing for compliments extremely irritating, but in Eames’ case he is reluctantly charmed. In fact, he writes the phrase “reluctantly charmed” into the Eames notebook the moment the words occur to him because they so perfectly encapsulate his entire situation.
