Summary
In which Solomon Tozer learns what he likes.
A selection of important romantic and sexual encounters, a few deaths, several kisses, and one quote from The Song of Songs.In September of the year he turns ten, Ashleigh McKinnon, the son of the greengrocer, kisses Sol in the back room of his father’s shop. He’s wearing a new jumper, a pretty dark blue. Sol likes the colour blue; he is ten years old, and he likes the colour blue, and roughhousing with his big brothers, and apples with cottage cheese, and when the stray cat down the road shows him her belly and lets him pet her scraggly fur.

Summary
Sol’s set the shower at vaguely lukewarm; not enough to make himself shiver, but certainly cooler than whatever temperature John’s insides are at. John gives a violent shudder as Sol helps him in—he’s gone all shaky-legged, like a newborn deer, poor sod—then sighs and relaxes. His face screws up like he’s about to cry again. “Cut that out,” Sol says, easing him down to the floor and stepping in himself. He presses a kiss into John’s hair before carefully folding himself in behind him, shaking water from his hair and eyes. “Let’s clean you up.”
John has the flu and isn’t dealing with it well. Sol takes care of him and learns something about himself.

Summary
"Why do you take it all off?"
Gurathin flinched. I hadn't realized how absorbed he'd grown by his little ritual. He glanced into the mirror towards me. His eyebrows raised, but then he politely looked away again.
"It's not good for the skin to leave it overnight."
Humans. So fragile. "But you have to put it back on every morning," I pointed out. "That seems like a hassle."
Gurathin was dabbing carefully at his other eye. Perhaps it was more sensitive. From a MedSys file that I'd definitely not downloaded illegally, I knew that that side of his head held more augments than the other, especially behind his eye socket.
"Leaving it on too long gives you wrinkles," he said.
"You already have wrinkles."
Or: Murderbot & Gurathin vs. make-up.

Summary
Edward used to think that the South Pole was the loneliest place on Earth. Now he knows better: the people working at the observatory are like family. A ragtag group of scientists, Blanky always says. No one else lives around here. Staring out the window, all one can see is an endless field of ice.
It’s not about looking. It’s the listening. Here, the universe speaks.
