    Summary

    The sadness, the despair, the fear - she was the pillar. If she couldn't be stable, if she couldn't hold them up the way she was supposed to, it would all collapse.

    -------------

    Five times Hesina created glyphwards for her family, and one time they created one for her.

    Summary

    Andrew has always been the one others look to for protection, for saving, for safety. He’s made his share of deals, wielded knives for others, fought battles that weren’t his to fight. Having someone else do the same for him, to want to do the same for him, is a disturbing and frightening prospect. But maybe, just maybe, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. 

    Or: 5 times Andrew pushed away Neil’s protection + 1 time he asked for it

    Summary

    There are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself, another which appreciates what others comprehend, and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others. The first is the most excellent, the second is tolerable, the third is useless.

    Liesel Mueller refuses to be useless. She will become valedictorian, she will survive the Scholomance, she will earn an enclave council seat by her thirtieth birthday, and she will become a Domina (or the power behind a Dominus, she is not picky) one day and avenge her mother's murder.

    Summary

    The world is a very large place, and even when you’re hunting maw-mouths there’s still time to (be young) see some of it.
