Summary
"Sinking is a creature of open and unabashed emotion. She has seen his many moods, sudden yet predictable like waves on the sea, shift and churn and foam upon his face.
Yet it seemed to her then that he was always smiling, and always had been, and always would be. The smile was to Sinking as other men’s fingers were to their hands; undivorceable. Even with his wet, red face cradled by his wet, red hands, broad and stubby and inelegant as they are, not diplomat’s hands but something more, he still manages to exude that air of a smile just waiting to be put into practice.He sits a couple of steps away from the cliffs edge, on the border where straggling grass turns to stone. Sirin joins him. The ground ends abruptly here, but the sea goes on forever."
The Archon of Suggestion takes a trip home.

It’s hot and damp and that’s how far the English language serves him.

Summary
“When I was younger, I ate a handful of Budding Rose and tied myself to a tree.”
Sinking waves a hand, as if to pelt off an interruption that won’t come.
“Was a fantasy of mine. The desperation, the lack of relief, the possibility of being found… One of those stupid things you get off on but know you’ll never do, you know? Except I did. And it’s surprisingly easy to tie your own wrists behind a trunk, but, turns out, getting those ties off once you realize this is a mistake, with your head all swimming and hot? That’s more difficult. Couldn’t do it. Luckily, a group of beastmen hunters found me and took pity on me.”
He grins.
“Repeatedly."

Summary
"She hasn’t known him for that long but she can’t recall ever seeing him look so alive, just- fleshy and pink and even getting a little plump, with big, moist, cow-like eyes staring into different parts of the wall. He is starting to look like one of those frustratingly cute cherubs she had to cut out of magazines for Sunday school.
And he is so, so quiet."John finds a way to quit his job, but it's a slow thing, and it leaves him empty.
Everywhere there is a space, something new will find a home.Series

P for Penelope (and B for Beau) by nowherenew

Summary
“Can I tell you a secret?” Beau has stars in his eyes, and it is two parts endearing but three parts exhausting.
“Gonna tell me anyway, so go on ahead,” says Arthur.
Grinning as though heaven lives in him, Beau gushes, “Penelope and I are practically already married. We have... sinned together.”
At that, Arthur barks out a laugh. “Boy, you don’t know a damn thing ’bout sinning, but go on.”
“We deflowered each other on a moonlit spring night, and it was beautiful.”
“Did you eat it?”
“What?”
“Did you eat it, boy. Speak up.”
“Eat what—”
“My god. You need help, and I suppose I’m beholden to be a good Samaritan, so you run along and set something up with the three of us.”Series

Summary
That night in the woods with the beastmen has not left Sinking’s mind, even after two years. Delirium hovered and smeared itself all over their first meeting, but Sinking could never forget. That’s why he’s here, after all. Of course, making peace with the Bastard Tier tribes is a primary directive, but he was the first to volunteer, and the loudest. He’ll be loudest again, if he plays his cards right. No harm in mixing business and pleasure.
