Summary
The problem was that Eugenides had grown up, and somehow Attolia had failed to notice. It had taken time for her to see him as a man and not a half-grown boy. She had assumed that without the benefit of love, the rest of the country saw him as a half-grown boy still.
(Or: five times Attolia gets jealous, and the time she realizes she doesn't have to be.)

Summary
Costis’s eyes were drawn to Eugenides’s face, the rings on his hands, the place under his coat where Costis knew there was still a scar. Eugenides never looked at him, but Costis still had the uncomfortable feeling that the king knew. The king knew everything.

Summary
There's a lot of expectation attached to Steve Rogers' name. It's taken him years to prove his own worth - that he's made it so far in the USNA on his own merit and not just because of his father. He's close though - there are only a few more months until he graduates and gets to stand on his own two feet. It's taken a lot of effort to get there, and a lot of sacrifices.
Bucky's beyond the point of expectation. When your father and grandfather have both been President - and your mother nurses political ambitions of her own - brilliance is a foregone conclusion. He's just counting down the final months of his confinement to the glass cage of the White House and he's determined to put that whole world behind him.
But as the days standing between them and their dreams dwindle, Steve comes to realize he might have made one sacrifice too many, and Bucky learns that his freedom comes at a cost he's never going to be able to pay.
