    Summary

    You live at the foot of a mountain with your husband, where there is nothing more for you to want in the peace you’ve cultivated together.

    Until he comes home after a blizzard that should have killed him, bearing a smile that does not belong to the man you once married.

    Summary

    Phainon’s late-night grocery runs are a masterclass in chaos: strange ingredients, fish-shaped lighters, and recipes that could either save the world or end it. And you, a cynical store clerk who just wants to end your shifts quietly, find yourself caught in the storm of his culinary madness.

    Things go as well as you expect them to.

    Summary

    Sunday shrugs. “I have little to my name,” he says. “Ask of me what you will.”

    Aventurine taps his fingers against the glass. “Okay,” he says. “How about this. Play a game with me.”

    (For reasons of her own, Jade got Sunday released into her employ. He runs into Aventurine at an IPC gala, and as a way to at least partially make up for past actions, Sunday agrees to a game of blackjack with questions as the ante, assuming he'll lose every round. It turns out Aventurine's company isn't unpleasant.)

    Summary

    He’d like to meet a Pepeshi someday, though, to see an even starker example of how different the rest of the universe can be from Sigonia. What must their home planet be like, with an infrastructure catered to the height of a child? Or planets like Thalassa, covered in endless water--the technological wonders of Planet Screwllum--the memoria-drenched dreamland of…

    Of…

    Ah, but he’s too curious for his own good. Sigonia has everything he needs, and plenty of its own fascinations, besides.

    (Aventurine was still on Penacony when the Order's paradise unfolded, but he keeps having moments of lucidity. Paradise isn't as nice when you know it isn't real.)

    Summary

    The corpse, the boy who loved it, and the thing it became.

    Everything changes, nothing perishes. In other words, what if the dead aren’t really gone?
