    Summary

    She can’t help but feel like the other shoe needs to drop. Niko can’t just be gone like this. Her death was too simple, too mundane, as mundane as getting stabbed by a witch’s magic knife could be. It was like she was just here one moment and gone the next, like a candle being simply snuffed out. Niko burned brighter than the sun, she couldn’t be extinguished as simply as that. Crystal doesn’t accept that that’s it for her, that Niko gets her body shipped off to Japan and the rest of them are just supposed to move on.

    Summary

    In which Crystal moves in, solves a case, gets confused, and helps everyone realize the power of love. Or something.

    They sit in silence for another moment - he, fit of friendship over, studying the engraving on the cover of the Night Nurse’s book, she, embarrassed at this bonding moment between them, readjusting herself on the couch.

    Edwin stands and makes his way to his bookshelves. “Would you like to read something a bit more cheerful?”

    “Yes, please,” Crystal says, truthfully, and extends her hands for the heavy tome that he gives her.

    They sit in silence together for another few moments, and then - “What the fuck, Edwin, in what world is ‘A Dissertation on Modern Age Poisons’ ‘more cheerful’?”

    Summary

    Edwin Payne and Charles Roland are not Orpheus and Eurydice. They are not tragic figures of myth, children of gods and spirits, immortalized in verse by the poets of old. They’re nothing special at all – just two boys too stubborn to move on.

    With that said, however… Edwin must admit that there are certain similarities.

    Summary

    The boy Charles rescued from Hell, so frail without his waistcoat and ridiculous britches, had been nearly unrecognizable as his best friend. Charles would do anything, compromise any dignity, to make sure Edwin never has to return to the pit.

    He just has to figure out how.

    Summary

    When Charles stopped pacing, he stopped on the opposite side of the room. “I figured,” he told Edwin, “I figured I’d need that light again, one day. Figured I’d always need it.”

    ----

    Or, the first thing Charles put in that backpack was a knife. The seventh thing was a lantern.

    Summary

    Mike blinks the sleep from his eyes, and squints into the too-bright sunlight to figure out who picked him up - and when he curls his toes and shifts his legs out of the way, he finds Scott Favor in the driver’s seat, and he knows he’s dreaming.

    “You still want to climb out of here?”

    “Yes,” Quentin says immediately.

    “It’s going to be hard,” Penny warns, his gaze weirdly intense and serious.

    “God, yeah, I figured it would be,” Quentin mutters, squirming out of Penny’s personal space. “Everything from pretty much every mythology ever says it’s a pain in the ass.”

    Summary

    No kissing, he’d told her, despite the way her eyes darted down to his mouth. Not unless you’re thinking of me, instead of trying to forget him. What Nikolai hadn’t said, that morning before the world started crashing down around them all over again, was that he thought of Mal, too. Of the twisted-together web the three of them made. His engagement to Alina, how tremulous the thing was, how wary Nikolai felt of hoping too badly for it to happen. Alina and Mal’s history, warped and tightly knotted and strained at the edges. The uncertain shape pulled between himself and Mal, an understanding he can’t put words to and a faith held in the unwavering needle of his lucky compass, warm against the skin of Mal’s chest. Nikolai wonders if he’s the only one who can see it- the three of them, Ravka spread out beneath their hands, back-to-back-to-back. He wonders if he’s the only one who wants it, fearsome and vicious and hungry.

    He doesn’t think so; but he’s been wrong on occasion.

    -------

    or, Mal and Nikolai write each other letters, and all three of them find their way home.

    Summary

    A full blown shiver wracks his form, hair stiff on the back of his neck. His body blinks like a stop-light, his teeth oscillating in his jaw.

    He closes his eyes; re-opens them. The guy’s still there.

    Miles stares, bewildered. “You’re like me.”

    Gwen asks Hobie to keep an eye on Miles for a bit while she works up some courage. Hobie Brown doesn’t do things by halves.

    Summary

    Jess is the one who asks. 'Spider Society', she calls it.

    At first, Hobie says no. Jess doesn’t tell him much, but she tells him enough to trigger that little sense in the back of his radioactive bug brain that says 'get the hell away from this place and all it stands for'.

    Or:

    I had an idea about why Hobie joined and it spiralled wildly out of control

    Summary

    Nonlinear, Jamie thinks. Trent explained that to him once, and it stuck with him, the idea that not everything just keeps on moving forward all the time. Sometimes people fall back into old patterns, sometimes things don't happen in the right order. Sometimes you think a story is going to tell you what happens next, and instead it turns around to look the other way. But the story isn't really moving backwards when it does that, Trent said. It's just using the backwards look to build a stronger foundation for moving ahead.

    "That fight was fucked up, yeah?" Jamie leans closer to Roy, smells the beer in his bottle and on his breath, remembers what it felt like to gulp one down in that bar after months of going without. Remembers what Roy's knuckles felt like smashing into his nose after years of going without.

    Summary

    After the locker room disaster in Manchester, Roy drives Jamie home. The chaos they find when they arrive at the house swiftly proves it is not a safe place to spend the night, forcing a change of plans and a reroute to Roy’s own home.

    The following day Jamie experiences, in this order:

    The most bewildering breakfast of his life, a penalty kick clinic with a seven-year-old, and an overwhelming display from his teammates that brings him face to face with the fact that not only has he been accepted back in Richmond it’s also possible he might be, in a way he can’t remotely process or understand, loved here.
