Summary
Sometimes, Vimes feels like an armoured moon in orbit around a number of extremely specific planets.
‘Is it normal at my time of life to start thinking, I don’t know, odd thoughts? Out of character stuff? Strange daydreams and things?’
‘You mean like a mid-life crisis?’
Vimes isn’t sure he does. He knows about those. A man reaches a peak in life and wonders why there’s so much space at the top, then he starts driving a faster cart and runs off to Quirm with a secretary called Cloris.
(This fic needed to go back to the drawing board to have the broken bit set, but now thirsty Vimes has re-entered the building and is in reception)

Summary
During her travels, Hornet finds a mysterious shackle meant to bind malfunctioning automatons for future disassembly. Such a discovery would be insignificant — except more and more similar shackles keep appearing around the choral chambers, as if hunting a certain prey.
She's not the only one who has noticed. The Second Sentinel of Pharloom remembers such shackles from ages ago — and if their suspicion is correct, it is not just themselves who is in danger from an old hunter's obsession.
It will take both of their combined strength to combat this unseen foe…
(…and if that draws them closer together, well. That's just a bonus.)

Summary
It flinches as if you had shot it and its walls slam shut in front of you, thick enough that you know it isn't putting up a show of things. It really does want you out.
