    Summary

    “Caitlin's moving to Paris,” Dex says. “Chris isn't,” he adds, even though that much is implied.

    Nursey whistles through his teeth. “Fuck.”

    Or, in which despite grand romantic gestures and relationship therapy on rooftops, there is always a room in Dex’s apartment for Nursey to return to.

    Summary

    One day, Marion has a vision like the one where they rescued Peggy. One that’s not immediate, like the ones that tell of danger. It sends him shyly to a pawn shop in Red Lamp to pick out two plain rings.

    Summary

    It’s two days after Sean’s official twenty-second birthday and his real twentieth when LT manages to wrangle him and Marion some leave.

     

    In which there are two three-day passes, a night out, and a night in. Nothing is well with the world, and the worst is yet to come.

    Summary

    Behind the scenes - in the cracks between planes, and the gaps behind time - the Ring of Brass lives on.

    The Sightwarden of Avalir lives a long life, as does his family. A person is made up of their memories, and the Archmage Por'co's memories rest in young and responsible hands. Draconic souls never truly die, and the laughing ghost of the Guildmaster is more than happy to wreak merry chaos across the many planes. If one were to look deep into the glowing blue of the ley lines, they might catch a glimpse of the Herald and the Architect Arcane, who waltz hand in hand along the flicker and spark of the magical veins.

    The world ends, and then restarts again. The souls of those who saved it rest easy.

    For the most part.

    ***

    One by one, the Ring of Brass finds their way back home.

    (Zerxus, as always, is the last to arrive.)

    Summary

    Marion steels his gaze and gets a finger under Sean’s chin. He points it up. Sean’s neck lolls easily at Marion’s prodding, and his eyes are soft when Marion catches them.

    Marion grins. “I said, is that you asking to get fucked, Finnerty?”

    Summary

    It always comes back to this, no matter how many times you look away from it: you, and him, and the breath between you.

     

    (A sort of 5+1 from Marion's POV – through childhood, the war, Candela, and whatever comes next.)

    Summary

    Sean came up behind him then, and slipped his right hand into Marion’s back pocket.

    Marion moved fast—faster than he thought he could anymore, since the night of the lighthouse when some of the fight went out of him. He turned counterclockwise and seized Sean, both hands grasping the hair at the back of his head, and stared him down a minute. Sean didn’t blink.

    It would be good to hold each other. The evening’s work had been grueling, and the artifact they recovered could have done much worse to any of them than robbing Sean of his voice. Marion still had tension stored up, clearly.

    And as for Sean, Marion could see, now that he was close, how badly he needed to be put to use.

    He kissed Sean, rough on purpose. What would have been a grunt came out as a huff of air instead. Sean’s tongue pressed into Marion’s mouth—yes—and then he pulled away, gave Marion a warning look, and pointed at the ceiling. He was right. They shouldn’t keep Jean waiting.

    Summary

    The bloomers loosened, fell away. Mr. Finnerty sat up abruptly, his left hand going to the atlas vertebra where Jean’s neck met her skull, his right smoothing over her hip and getting a feel of her buttock, but gently, so gently that she gasped. “Do you know,” he said, his voice husky and somehow wistful in her ear, “the only other person who gets to call me by my last name anymore is my LT, and I don’t see him in here with us.”

    Jean breathed through her nose for composure. That would be… entirely too many men. “I would hate for you to receive conflicting orders,” she told him.

    Mr. Finnerty’s laugh gusted her hair. “Say Sean.”

    Jean shut her eyes and mouth tight.

    Summary

    Loquatius does not expect her to take his name.

     

    Mostly for this reason: it’s not a thing that any sane, reasonable person would or should expect of any other sane, reasonable person.

     

     

    Names have power. Some more than others. Loquatius shouldn't want to give anyone that kind of a hold over him.

    He does it anyway.

    (Or: a name that Laerryn takes, a name that Laerryn bestows, and a name that Quay shares, no matter what the cost may be.)

    Loquatius Seelie beams at her. "You'll be pleased to know, then, that I suppress my mental health concerns like any self-respecting adult. But what I can't suppress is my hair."
    Or
    Five times Loquatius asked Laerryn for advice on his hair, and one time he didn't have to.

    Summary

    “I would like you to know me,” Caleb says.

    It feels like a secret. Like the darkest part of him cracked open; all his months and years of hiding, of wrapping his arms and scratching the bindings, of not loving, not loving anything but an unkillable cat — it’s unraveling around him. He feels naked. He feels the way he did the first time Pumat Sol spelled him clean.

    “I find that — I would like you to know me,” he says, again.

    Summary

    Nott smothered a yawn behind her free hand, the other still loosely tangled in Frumpkin’s fur.
    Several things clicked. The berries. The bacon. The staring, the dropped twigs, the quiet.
    Nott wasn’t upset. She was tired.
    Stupid that it had taken him so long to notice. (Some friend.)

    (or: Nott falls ill, and Caleb is useless.)
