Summary
She could try to assemble these bits of knowledge into a father, but she would fail. It is like building a man out of spare parts: a lock of hair here, a patch of skin there. You can make a serviceable figure. It can walk around and sit and speak with you. But when you try to put its heart in, all you can find is a brick wall.
She went to England to see her father while he lived, in case the rebels killed him. She left thinking, I have seen all I will see of him, even if he lives another fifty years.
[28 July 1540. Five people who got on with their day, and one who didn’t.]

Summary
"It may also please you to advertise my lord his grace that since his repair to Richmond I have been at Lesnes, where I saw one of the most piteous and grievous sights that ever I saw, which to me before the sight of the same was incredible, concerning the breach out of the Thames into the marshes at Lesnes, which are all overflowed and drowned."

Good Order, Counsel and Equity by theviolonist for yunitsa

Summary
"So you really think the king intends to marry me?"
He thought she knew. It is the only thing they're talking about, back in London; that and the death of Anne Boleyn, the fall of one queen and the rise of another, as seems to be the cyclic tragedy of Henry's reign. But now that she says it he believes her surprise; he just does not believe that it is a sign of innocence. He has said it many times, to people who accused him of persecuting the guileless: show me an innocent man, and I will reconsider my opinions, I will change my ways. Until then, let me do my job.
"Do you not think so?"
"Is it a lawyer's trick, to answer questions with questions?"
He allows himself a smile. "One you seem to be mastering exceptionally well."

“Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories.”
—Hilary Mantel, Wolf HallWhy leave the house? A pull. By who?

Why follow that bird? Curiosity. For what?
Why walk to the statue? A draw. Towards something unknown… And maybe something beautiful too.-

there’s a big black hole (where my heart used to be) by Helholden

Summary
“I could always jump, but I never do. I sometimes think it was him, the one that tried to run away with the gardener. That maybe I’m dreaming of him. That I’m him—but I’m not.” His eyes glaze over, the memory haunting him. “He jumped once, you know. It’s not public knowledge. Straight out of his window—to the ground. His aura saved him, but even with mine on . . . I don’t think I could do it.”
“That makes you different, though,” Gaal points out. She doesn’t have an answer for all the rest. It’s just a dream, after all. “If he could jump, but you can’t. So, what makes you like him?”
His answer is one word. He exhales it out in a single breath from between his lips like a prayer said before bedtime—before the darkness takes you, and you never know if you’re going to wake up again. His eyes never leave hers. Not once.
“You.”

Summary
“Why don’t you come over here?” she finally suggests, her voice deeper, lower than usual; it sounds like she’s flirting with him, but sometimes Dawn can’t tell with her. He doesn’t want to press into the line of whatever this is, shattering the illusion he’s built in his head. He’s imagined her face a million times before going to bed; sometimes, laughing, other times, gasping, with her mouth wide open and the shadows abound all around them as she shudders out a moan. He thinks about her all the time. He thinks about her too much.
Dawn looks down at his glass of liquor. Swirls it between the crystalline walls—and downs the entire thing in one gulp. It burns going down.
Strength. Wisdom. Fortitude.
This is neither of those things.
