Summary
“Then he drew a knife from his belt, and all Nicolò could think was no, not again, he didn’t want to keep doing this. He was too tired to move. But the Saracen didn’t attack. Instead, he pushed his sleeve up and cut himself, a deep slice across the muscle of his forearm. They watched it heal, skin sealing back together, the wound vanishing like a drop of blood in water.
He spoke again, his tone full of desperation, whatever the words were. Again, angrier this time, he cut. Ranted in disbelief and denial, as if he pleaded with Nicolò to explain, which Nicolò couldn’t do. Cut himself again, and again, a thicket of bleeding wounds, blood dripping down the blade, his arm. All the cuts healed, vanished.
Nicolò reached over and caught the Saracen’s wrist, stopping him. The Saracen stared, as Nicolò pried the knife from his hand, and let his wrist go.”
(In which I tackle the origin story…)

Summary
She sat in her seat on the transport ship, strapped in, among the members of her unit. Her hands rested in her lap. All stared straight ahead, all looked the same, no one spoke. This, then, was the will of the machine. She was going to be sick. Everyone of them, the whole transport, smelled like burning.
I . . .
The I is unimportant. Only the will of the machine.
I want. . . Want is an organic emotion and emotion is weakness. The machine does not show emotion. The machine is strong, the machine is beautiful.
I want. . . The machine is strong. The machine will cleanse the world of organic filth, organic emotion. The world will become clean, shining, beautiful, sterile.
I want to get out of here.

Summary
“I gave your documents to Joe as he passed through, so don’t worry about busting out the snowpants.”
Nicky closes his eyes. Exhales. “Where is he?”
“Somewhere in the mid-Atlantic by now, should be popping up in Belfast at the end of the week.” Booker pauses. “Be nice. I worked hard on those, I’m not gonna make you another set.”
“If you say so. And I’m always nice.”
“Funny, he said the same thing.”
In which they're not family.

Summary
It’s not lost on her that technically, her dating pool is now exactly one person, if she wants to be with somebody who won’t die on her. Still, “you’re my only option” is miles away from being a good enough reason to give it a shot.

Summary
There are days, many strung after each other, when they encounter no one as they walk. They take the time to practice their sword skills, fighting without killing each other. Mostly.
(Nicolò and Yusuf in the very early days, set after the series Not at First Sight (Snapshots), but readable without reading those).

Summary
“What did you see today?” Nicolò asks.
He’s reclined on his side, back turned as Yusuf finishes changing into his sleeping clothes. Yusuf smiles at him even though he can’t see it.
“I saw,” he says, “an old woman.”
It’s a testament to how well Nicolò knows him, after these five years together, that he doesn’t call this into question.
Or: 10 + 1 conversations before bed.
