    Summary

    The pain ripples from Viktor in waves.

    He imagines bursts of it sweeping through the room, disturbing the carefully-lain objects on his bedside table, flowing through the curtains—now tightly shut against the light of the day, blowing gently through Jayce’s hair. The room around him pulses in time with his heartbeat, and he forces himself to breathe, breathe. The same way he has been for the past several hours. The same way he has for nearly thirty years.

    Thirty years.

    Many days—most, even—he finds the passing decades to be a gift. Unexpected, and cherished.

    Today, the weight of every minute sinks him like a stone.

    Breathe. Breathe.

    Summary

    The last body’s hands were slimmer. A little more…delicate. These are sturdier, not quite fitting in the gloves the way the last ones did.

    “Might I walk you home?” Bolaire asks softly.

    (Or, everyone is reeling in light of the attack on the Palazzo Davinos. As the Seekers take their leave and the Schemers plot their next move, Bolaire experiences the mortifying ordeal of having feelings, a body...and feelings about your body.)

    Summary

    Occtis only knew the rest of the night in flashes.

    The overwhelming rush of sensation and imagery and information was thick and sharp and something that felt almost painful. It was more, he thought, than he would have been able to comprehend even on a normal day.

    This was so obscenely, absurdly far past normal that there were no words to even try and describe it.

     

    Or: The thing that used to be Occtis Tachonis tries to adjust to his new existence. Hal tries to be gentle with a young man who has had a very long night.

    Summary

    The story of the Protagonist’s relationship with the Foreigner, or how the homeowner was seen as a knight in shining armor for the first time in his life. And how can he resist a hint of love when the world around him has already gone mad and is drawing near its end?

    Wireface flirts with the Protagonist, thinking he will never find out about this. But the sun never leaves you a chance to hide for long in the shadows. The outcome is unpredictable.
