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
“Joe spent half a second wondering how Andy ended up driving, with a taped-up unhealed gut wound, but the answer to that was the usual: because it was Andy, because she was the boss and this was what she wanted.”
This picks up in the car as they drive away from Merrick’s, and then the gang helps Nile get through the worst week of her life and they go on vacation with a classic Italian pastry (not a euphemism, well not just a euphemism). Add in some fake (or is it?) sword fighting, and then Andy tells a story Joe and Nicky have never heard before. Some fluff and angst and then it’s back to work.

“It’s simple, then. We’ll break into the house after dark. Find the library or study—“
“We’re not breaking into the house,” Andy said.
Joseph blinked up at her. “We’re not?”
“The younger Hanford is holding a ball next week. And we are delighted to accept an invitation to it.” She flashed a wicked smile. She knew how this was going to go over.
“No,” Joseph said bluntly. “Oh, no.”
Nicholas said, more an observation than an argument, “We’re made for battlefields, not ballrooms.”

Summary
During a sunny sabbatical, months before Luther would post his theses which would ignite the later entitled Protestant Reformation, Nicolò had by chance acquired an unlikely but unfaltering companion in the form of a choleric winged beast. The fact that he made the acquaintance of the pope at that time was a lesser and entirely incidental affair.
It went like this.Bookmarked by chasing_caws

Nicolò tries his hand at falconry, and punishes a cruel man.

Bookmarker's Notes
Nicky struggled with religious fanaticism in the past.
He allowed fellow church members to help him “repent” by having them peel his skin off to make a book bound in skin. He wrote this book with his own blood.
The book was lost for a long time, until a crazed fan who wanted to abuse Nicky found it and used it to lure the family in.

Summary
The fact of it is, he’s tired. He’s spent the last two years killing and fighting, killing and hiding, killing and watching his comrades die. His sketchbook is water stained and torn through with bullet holes and his charcoal is dust at the bottom of his bag. He fought for what was right and it didn’t make a damned difference and he’s retreated deep into that dark pit that sometimes swallows him, swallows his words and his colors and his interest in waking up in the morning.
Or, in the aftermath of a lonely, difficult mission, Yusuf makes friends with a painter in France.
