    Summary

    "Quantum mechanics is a serious matter, not a creative writing exercise." Her cold, sharp voice cut through the air like a knife. "It is the mathematical description of reality at its most unforgiving level," she said, walking around the hall and staring at her students. Intimidated, everyone averted their eyes. "Half of you will drop this class before mid-term. The other half will spend the rest of the semester wondering why you didn't."

    Sitting in the first row, Mitya was frozen. The pen in his hand hovered over a blank page in his open notebook. He stared nervously at the terrifying woman.

    Archons, no, he thought. Blood drained from his face as she paced around the place calmly explaining the rules of her classroom. From all professors he could have in this class, it had to be her.

    Dr. Ronova Tuonetar, the woman who had co-authored the textbook sitting comfortably inside his backpack.

    Dr. Ronova Tuonetar, the cold genius every student in the department feared.

    Dr. Ronova Tuonetar, Mitya's mother-in-law who hated his guts with the energy of gamma-ray bursts.

    I'm going to die. Alyosha, please take care of our son.

    Summary

    “Worry not, worry not,” Dori repeats, leaning across the table to pat him on the arm. “This one is on sale too, but I really, really, really cannot go below forty-eight thousand.”

    “...Not even forty-five thousand?”

    Dori shakes her head, emanating sheer, pure regret. “I’m afraid not.”

    Varka considers it. Truly, he does. He thinks about his personal finances, about the scolding he’ll get from Jean for spending such exorbitant amounts of Mora. He thinks about Rosaria and Razor, then about Flins, then about all of them together, sitting in a loose circle by Varka’s side and drinking some sort of cider, perhaps playing that card game he keeps hearing so much about.
    …
    In the end, he sighs, then reaches into his pocket, grasping a wallet that would scream if it had a mouth.

    Or: Desperate to make sure introducing his partner to his children goes smoothly, Varka purchases yet another guide from Dori. Aided by the expert advice of an ancient text he spent forty-eight thousand mora on, he plays tour guide, bonds with his children, and maybe even earns himself a little reward for all that hard work.

    Summary

    Среди безжалостных, раскалённых песков Зульфикара султанский двор давно превратился в змеиное логово. Молодой правитель аль-Хайтам вырос посреди заговоров, научился использовать знания как оружие, а разум держать чистым от ненужных привязанностей. У него не было уязвимостей ровно до тех пор, пока в его жизнь не ворвался бродячий танцор по имени Кавех.

    Summary

    Sedene points an accusing finger at him. “I knew it!”

    Neuvillette startles, almost spilling tea into his soup. “What?”

    “You have a crush. And it’s on Wriothesley.”

    “Don’t be ridiculous, Sedene.”

    Neuvillette is the insomniac law student who stakes out the same spot in the university library once a week. Wriothesley is the mechanical engineer student who, for some reason, keeps bringing him tea. Five times Neuvillette agonizes over his own feelings, and one time Wriothesley takes initiative.
