Summary
“He asked me once, why we only ever show things in their prime - always roses in bloom rather than the wilting once they’ve been plucked.” She raised her glass theatrically, affecting an erudite tone, “‘For every apple ripe in Adam’s hand, where are the paintings of the rotting core?’” A sigh. “But no one wants to think about consequences, do they?”
“There is beauty in everything,” the pale-eyed trader across from her said. “Even decay.”After a Legion victory at Hoover Dam, a captured courier is given to Vulpes Inculta. // A long and angsty look at love, deception, and the strength of women.

Summary
“The bible is filled with demons. If you believe in God, you have to believe in the devil. Jesus himself was an exorcist.”
September 1994: a social worker with the Followers of the Apocalypse drives out to Jacobstown after being assigned the Boone family. Diane Williams has read the file: following the death of his wife, Craig has been in debt for months and his daughter Melody is spiraling, but help is at hand. The trick will be getting them to accept it, and Diane juggles the case between visits to inner-city Freeside dealing with the Geckos and their son Benny's juvenile delinquency, drinking sessions with her colleague Arcade as they deplore funding cuts under Governor House, and liaisons with the local priest Antony who appears to have a mysterious stake in the fate of the Boones. But when the family attempt to return to church, Melody reacts in a way nobody could predict and Diane is left scrambling. Antony steps forward with a modern take on a very old idea to rid Melody of her ‘demons’…but just how well does he understand the situation?
An exorcism story told in 3 acts, based on the Legion quest ‘Saving Sergeant Teddy’ with the reading that perhaps Antony had a good reason for taking Melody’s bear.

Summary
"There is a hole in the world: a swirling blue pit that time cannot touch; where Overseers quake and men hold no power. It is emptiness and not-quite death and the feeling of a hand on your arm when you are alone and about to fall asleep. Emily has fallen straight into it."
Emily is chosen by the Outsider instead of Corvo.

Summary
The Courier was in possession of a bountiful, nigh endless, insatiable curiosity. So Arcade wasn't sure why he was surprised when, after he mentioned that he had some familiarity with astronomy, she dragged him to the roof of the Lucky 38 and demanded that he show her all of the constellations he knew.
He wasn’t even opposed to the idea, in theory. But it turned out that the Courier’s glaring lack of knowledge in many (or really, most) areas meant that pointing out the constellations was the easy part of the process. Explaining them, on the other hand...
