    Summary

    For as much as Simon hates the artificial ocean in their little biome, there are days where Ryland can't take him away from it.

    The ocean is a part of Simon.

    In every sense of the word, it is a part of him.

    --

    Or, Simon hasn't escaped. Not really. But Ryland is always there to pull him back.

    Summary

    Nessarose Thropp built her life around low ceilings and called it enough. Boq Woodsman said yes to everyone until he couldn't say no. Between them: one night that was part accident, part desperation, part something neither of them meant. What might have been, if wanting and kindness were the same thing.
