    Summary

    Suspicion, ulterior motives, those were things Jon could take in stride. In the cold, impersonal halls of the Institute, no one went out of their way to be friends with him, not without their own reasons. Even with Tim and Sasha, the close proximity of their work required that they get along.

    But Jon was Martin’s boss; they didn’t have to get along with each other. So then why …?

    Because he’s kind, you knobhead.

    Summary

    “This is the Magnus Institute, not a creative writing course at university. If that doesn’t agree with him, he can leave.” There was a thud and the sound of rifling tapes. “He can take his bloody tea with him.”

    Martin’s fingers tightened on the saucer. Oh.

    -

    Martin knows better than to talk about it. It's fine. He's fine.

    Summary

    “I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”

    “No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”

    In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.

    It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)

    Summary

    “Mydei, do you remember sunsets?”

    Mydei looks over his shoulder to where Phainon lies, head tucked under his hands. The wind blows gently over the rooftops, ruffling the awnings, muffling the murmuring of the crowd below.

    “Do I remember them?”

    A year apart, told in the seconds in-between.

    Summary

    If anyone asks, and many have, Phainon will say he doesn’t mind marrying a stranger for his home. Not many have the chance to make that choice after all.

    Still, the sun rises over the Elysian realm. And in this, Phainon’s role is keeping all is as it should be.

    He is content.
