Summary
“I saw them once,” she says. “But you’re more beautiful.”
“Saw who?” Em sounds concerned. She shouldn’t; Sofie would hate to make such a beautiful woman so worried.
“Th’angels,” she says. The stars are still swimming all around. Something’s coming up, kinda like throw up. She doesn’t think she’s gonna be able to stop it.
or: sometimes something bad nearly happens and you're the only person to know.

Summary
“D’you want a second helping of that?”
Bert considers Marya openly as she scarfs down her stew like a woman starving. She looks different like this, softer. More open, or at the very least more obvious about how closed off she is. There’s grease scuffed across one cheek and something dark under her fingernails. Her spoon clatters loudly, her gulps echoing in the relative silence of the galley. She lowers her bowl from her mouth, eyes lifting to appraise him over its rim. She says nothing.
or: a comprehensive* guide to the care & keeping of your pet stowaway.

Summary
there’s a day aelwyn looks up from her spider plant and realises that she hasn’t spoken to her younger sister in four years.
nothing leads up to it. it’s a normal day—she goes to work, shelves some books, comes home, throws a freezer meal in the oven for dinner, gets comfortably high, and washes her dishes before the drugs kick in. her cats are fed. her plants have new growth on them, which at least means it’s not too late to salvage them after she didn’t water them for three weeks straight during her last depressive episode. she’s got no plans tonight other than making a strong cuppa and sitting down in front of some really shitty reality television. and then her eye catches the date.

Summary
“Like hell I was gonna let you go without eating something. You can’t survive off caffeine alone, kid.” She squints at Adaine’s mug. “You want any milk or sugar for that?”
Adaine isn’t going to be drinking it, no matter how much she wants to. She opens her mouth to say as much. “Um, sure,” she finds herself saying instead.
Lydia rolls her way back to the kitchen. “Well, which one?” she asks, hand stretched halfway to the fridge.
“Both?” Adaine asks timidly, mouth betraying her again. Gods, at the least it would be nice if you could be wrong confidently, she thinks. What’s the matter with you?
or: the Adaine "many guys up there" sequel

Summary
On her own, Van never would’ve gone down to bloody Katur. She would’ve spent a pleasant evening with Bert in the hot tub, maybe helped him whip up a flight or two of aioli, and watched the nut pigs roll ‘round on deck. Even with Wealwell and Freyja onboard, she thinks it wouldn’t’ve been a half-bad way to spend a night. Instead, she’s here dropping things ‘cross the floor ‘cause she’s lost five fingers in one go.
She doesn’t recognise her reflection anymore. It’s like every time she sees herself, something is different—her eyes are darker, she’s rimmed in shadow, her blummin’ arm is gone. Something is happening to her, something far beyond her grasp. Everything Van’s known about herself, her family, her curse—all of it’s out the window now. The worst part is how good it feels.
on the freedom of becoming something you don't recognise.

Summary
“Khm. Beautiful work,” Maxwell says. “We don’t have a dog, unfortunately, but I’d love to–”
“Oh,” the shopkeep says, blinking slowly. His eyelids nictate, like Van’s do sometimes now. “It’s not a dog collar.”

Summary
"I haven't done a lot of other things," Maxwell says, understanding, now, why Marya brought up his limited experience with women. "And I would understand if you don't want to teach me, but–"
Marya's eyes glitter. "You would want to learn?"
"Yes," Maxwell says earnestly, feeling more than a little relieved. "Very much."

Summary
"Hey, sweetie." Sandra Lynn steps inside and hugs her just a little too tight. "You look good."
"Yeah. You, uh, you too."
Her mom might be lying—Fig hasn't been sleeping great and she has a feeling it might be starting to show. Fig is definitely lying. Sandra Lynn's lost a lot of weight, and there are bags under her eyes, and the beds of her fingernails are all red and irritated where she's been picking at them. She looks like she's had the flu this whole time.
That's what Jawbone says. That she's sick, and it might take a long time for her to get better.
(Or: Fig's mom pays her a visit at Mordred Manor.)

Summary
“I suppose," Maxwell says slowly, voice soft and raw, "I've thought about what it would be like to - khm. To be made available, as it were."
Olethra makes a soft, inquisitive noise, her fingers once again scratching gently through his short hair. “Aren’t you available now?” she asks, and Maxwell shudders, even as he tries to stay still.
“Available,” he says again, stressing the word, “whenever someone wanted me.”
