    Summary

    “Do tell him that we have enjoyed watching his team’s success in the American league, perhaps if he had joined Day’s team, he would have won the championship.”

    The translator’s lips twitched at the comment. “Petra wants you to know how much they have enjoyed watching your team’s success in the American leagues.”

    Andrew waits for the rest of the comment to follow. The translator seems set on editing, unfortunately. “Are they paying you well to play diplomat?”

    The comment is out before he can stop it. It seems to take the translator by surprise and his mouth twitches into a barely contained grin.

    “A certain amount of discretion is expected to keep international relations happy, yes.”

    Andrew is intrigued by his honesty. “Tell them that Day would pitch a fit if he knew they found time to watch another countries Exy team. If you have time to watch than you have time to practice, after all.”

    He translates perfectly with a smirk at being called out. Andrew watches him closely. If asked, he would say that this man posed a threat. In reality, he enjoyed the way he hadn’t backed down when being caught out.

    “Why am I here if you speak the language?” The translator asks in English.

    Summary

    "Who choked you out?"

    "Going for the throat, are you?"

    "I’m not a kind person."

    "My husband. My husband choked me out."

    "The classic. I was a foster kid. Had plenty of adults beat on me for something as stupid as breathing too loud."

    "It’s always the stupidest reasons."

    "Does he-"

    "No. I would skin him alive if ever dared to put his hands on my daughter."

    "I have Luna's black roses."

    "Oh yeah? She'll be happy when she sees them. She's at a friend's house right now."

    "Then I'll start planting."

    "Yeah. Could you- could you stay here for a moment? I like the silence but I don't want to be alone."

    "Okay."

    Or Trans Neil was in fact sold to the mafia and ended up marrying Riko and ends up hiring Andrew as a gardener and the author still can't write a summary to save their life

    Summary

    Nathan Wesninski was dead. And so was Lola Malcolm. Romero Malcolm. They were all dead, their bodies scattered over the floors tainted with blood, with the prospect of peace. Baltimore could start healing.

    Nathan Wesninski was dead, but his killer was smiling, and Andrew couldn't shake off the feeling that it wasn't the end of anything. The city thrived off crime, and the crime itself was so much bigger than a triple murder. So much more important in the bright white of the interrogation room.

    The killer was smiling. Andrew sat into a chair across him.

    Cameras stayed off.

    Summary

    Andrew traces his finger along the long line of the tendril slung over his thigh, and Neil shivers. It's the last night they have before Andrew's ship heads off to colder waters, and although Neil says that he'll still be here when he gets back, Andrew knows in the pit of his stomach that this is little more than a stolen pocket of time that he would do well to remember is slipping through his fingers faster than sand.

    Or, pirate Andrew and octopus-hybrid Neil know they're on borrowed time, and neither of them know if and when Andrew will return to warmer waters. They decide to fuck about it.
