Summary
As he sits at a table listening to the mindless chatter of those around him, suddenly the question that’s plagued Gilbert Blythe since he stepped foot aboard the Titanic is answered. He cannot survive this future that has laid out before his feet - he cannot marry Winnifred Rose or be the next head of the Rose family the way her father wants him to. He sees only one way out, only way he can make it off this ship with anything of him left.
Anne Shirley-Cuthbert, third-class orphan with only a dream to her name, is determined to show him otherwise.

Summary
"Wasn't Josie Pye mean?"
"I don't think so," Ruby says in a stupid squeaky voice. She clears her throat and hopes she sounds like she means it. “She had a bit of an attitude, but she wasn’t mean.”
--
No one will ever remember Josie Pye as their best friend but Ruby Gillis, and she can’t tell a single soul.

Summary
“I missed you,” he says, and immediately it’s too much. The words don’t fit between them, that isn’t the kind of thing they say. He wishes he could take it back. He can’t.

Summary
It’s the first time Anne's seen Gilbert since the funeral. She would have put it off longer if she could, but he’s the only one with a car right now, what with Jerry back home in Charlottetown packing up his own things. That’s a cruel thing to think about your boyfriend, isn’t it? I don’t want to see you right now.
--
Gilbert isn’t sure what to do with Anne, and she doesn’t know what to do with him, either.

Summary
Tetsu has a secret, and for over a decade he’s kept it buried in his chest between the ribs he broke to make a hiding place and the blood he’s spilled to keep it. Oda was the only living soul to hear it. Not so living, anymore, so it’s just Tetsu and his bloody chest again. Soon, it will be no one.

Summary
The first thing Gilbert sees is a singular, ominously yellow Converse, sitting overturned in the middle of the empty street. As they get closer he can see that the sole is stained red with blood, though little actually remains. Most of it has been left on the street, in a line of footprints that leads back and over the small hill in the road.
Maybe he should turn around when he sees it – he should turn around and call the police like he’d been contemplating, because as the seconds pass it becomes less and less likely that Anne is playing some sort of practical joke, and more like somebody is dead.

Summary
The White Flame steps into the cell with no concern for the filth beneath his feet and the cleanliness of his shoes. He walks as if he is upon a carpet laid just for him, stands as if he is addressing his court and not a prisoner of war. Cahir follows only a step behind, stepping into his footsteps like a shadow.
“Yennefer of Vengerberg,” the White Flame says delicately, testing the words like a fine wine. “You served my father well, before your time in the Usurper's care. I have no doubt you will serve me the same."
The Usurper’s prisoner sits in the center of her dark cell, spine as straight as she can manage.
"Of course,” she replies, “Aretuza produces nothing but the best, my Lord.”--
(Yennefer never undergoes the transformation, and is sent to Nilfgaard in Fringilla's place.)

she bargains with the world (so everything she wants will come to her) by blankie

Summary
There are a million paths this moment could take, and Yennefer has not the energy to follow a single one of them. The Nilfgaardian commander kneels before her, neck bared. He is, perhaps, the one being in the world right now that she does not resent. It is not his fault that his life has been forced into her hands.
His death will not serve me. Yennefer casts her eyes to the Northern kings, and the way they look upon her like she is nothing more than their pawn, or worse, their object. And I do not exist to serve their purposes.
Even as the axe begins to drop, she’s not sure where it will fall. Yennefer is as surprised as the crowd when the prisoner’s hands are freed. Unlike the crowd, her surprises spurs her into action, and she kicks over the torches with only one thought in her mind – run.

Summary
Cahir has never been interested in romance, or sex, or anything so fantastical as love. Perhaps as a child he’d been taken in by such fanciful tales, but a lifetime lies between him and his childhood. Since the White Flame, there has been no one else, and he is the White Flame’s even at the very end.
When the executioner’s axe hangs above his neck, he bares it willingly, certain that even his death will serve righteous purpose. He looks at the ground, awaiting the sting of death. Instead, there is only the sting of metal breaking as the chain on his wrists explodes.
New life is before him, and Cahir barely knows what to do with his now freed hands.

Summary
This is what Gilbert and Anne had amounted to, in the end – two stranger-like friends, two friend-like strangers, separated by a youthful mistake and kept apart by the weight of words and time. Nothing special, nothing more. The sum of it all is an invitation to her funeral, and a seat in the row third from the front on the right side.
--
Today Anne Shirley-Cuthbert is dead, and Gilbert Blythe will never see her again.
Tonight she lies in his bed, talking to him more in death than she ever had in life.

Summary
Maybe it is the heady rush that came to Gilbert when Anne first kissed him and hasn’t left, or maybe the grass has always been this way, but as he lays beside Anne Gilbert thinks that the field below him feels more comfortable than any bed ever has.

Summary
As Anne’s gentle fingers fix her bow and rest softly on her shoulder, Josie yearns for it to last forever. She tries not to think about how much she wishes Anne was actually her hero in this story – maybe she is, but if that’s the case, then Josie is surely the villain, and villains never have a happy ending.
