Summary
Grantaire’s life had been in an endless grey monochrome for some years now. He could recall, when first asking for this job, the warnings of what could drive a man mad out on these cliffs. He’d been warned about the isolation, the sounds, the stories. Yet none had mentioned how the color leached out of the world the longer he stayed. His bed sheet had been green, once upon a time. The nights it spent in the salt and dampness, never again knowing what it was to be clean or dry, robbed the color from its folds as well. Now it was a faded grey like all the rest, save when the sky cleared and turned the horizon a watery blue.
Grantaire is a lighthouse keeper, Enjolras is the failed revolutionary who washes up on his shores

Summary
"For the last four years, Catra’s routine had been the same.
Every day, she woke up just after dawn; left the comfort of her own bed to go prepare food for her, her husband, and whatever guests they might have; and checked the supply of ale in the cellar.
Then, she would make sure all the mugs and glasses were clean. Once people started rolling in, usually just after noon, the bar would be wiped down and the musicians she employed would be setting up. She would make idle conversation with the others and finish cleaning up until the first groups of men looking for a drink showed up with pockets that clinked and jingled with coins, and then the rest of the night would be spent cleaning mugs and pouring ale.
Catra had resigned herself to this life with a sort of detached acceptance.
Then, a Rebellion captain walked into her establishment, and she knew instantly that something was about to change."
or, Captain Adam Fairchild, who harbors a secret that could get him killed, goes in search of a spy to help the Rebellion's cause. He finds it — and much, much more — in a tavern-keeper's wife.

Summary
Richie Tozier was not looking forward to meeting the cousin that he didn't know existed. Mike Wheeler felt the exact same way. But with Will Byers moving to Derry, Mike and Richie find out about each other's existence and meet for the first time. There's something off about Derry, though, despite the self-proclaimed Loser's Club assuring the Party that there's nothing to worry about. What is up with Derry's dangerous past? Why are they so cagey about Bill's little brother? Why does Richie seem so familiar to Mike?
And why can the Party not let anything go?
With just a bit too much digging, they not only discover new connections, but they uncover something that was meant to stay buried for a long time. And this time, It has a grudge.
