Summary
A train window rattles cold against a cheek. The black eyes are half-open but too alert to drowse. One hand has folded itself over the top of a damaged suitcase, pressing hard enough to leave creases on the thinly-mittened palm. The legs are dark brown and tired, well-used, jutting out from under a hand-sewn skirt and folding down into beige socks and battered boots. The heels of the socks are clean but threadbare, and the jacket has been ironed but bears stains of years. Lying over the jacket is an anomaly, an expensive cloak of rich green wool. The other hand, ungloved, twists in its warm fabric, worrying thick threads between its nails.
The traveller’s eyes flick open, staring keenly at the passing trees. The countryside of Germany is lit by a full moon, parting into towns and steeples on either side of the charging train. The clatter of wheels on tracks fills the traveller’s mind, lulling her even as it heightens her anxieties. She is headed North, into bitter cold and bitter mourning. The King of Denmark, her dear friend’s father, has died. -

Summary
The first thing Margaret noticed about the Child of the Gates was her smile.
There was something unique about it. It was a shining light in the dark—when Margaret thought back on that night, on her fiftieth birthday. Before she lost her mother, before the day forever changed for the rest of her night.
~~~
Or, the moments in between canon, where Margaret and Sia fall in love.

Summary
When Percy wakes up alone, he takes a moment to close his eyes and breathe.
Distantly, he can almost hear his aunt saying 'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed' the last time he and Monty had gotten into something stupid. That's how Percy feels now. Hollowed out, aching with disappointment, but not angry.
It's his own fault. He knows who Monty is, he's always known. It was his own fault for expecting- for hoping—
