Summary
Rust — Rust a fool — allows himself to imagine a world in which he turns. A world in which they solve this together, they grind it out and start thinking, really thinking, pavements and hard man-hours, answer to nobody but themselves, they solve it. Marty turns. Let this be that world — it’s the world of shit-all else, it’s the world where Rust wakes up wishing he hadn’t every fucking morning, the world in which he knows the sound a child’s bones, still soft, make under the wheels of an ‘84 Mercedes 230CE — let him have this, just this. Only this.
Marty doesn’t turn. Marty mutters under his breath, “Sanctimonious prick,” and Marty leaves.
They arrest Rust twenty-one days later.

Summary
Of her lover’s many faults and arguable virtues, he's never late. So when 8 o’clock runs into 10, 12 ticks into 2, and Hermione's third note of rationally tempered concern flies unanswered back to sender, she panics.
“He's probably sick,” says Harry. “You both work in a hospital. The place where diseases live.”
“When has he ever,” says Hermione, “failed to advertise a twinge?”
Outside the Malfoy Manor gates, the grass is green.
Inside the fence—
“Go home,” says Harry gravely.
“Go to hell,” Hermione replies.
And because that is that, they plod up the drive and strain open the door to a landscape of ominous white.

Summary
It’s not that Richie doesn’t like Sydney. She’s pretty and mean and she can clearly cook her ass off. She’s exactly the kind of woman he goes for: smart mouth, long hair, homicidal tendencies. She’s a little young, but other than that, yeah. Richie could like her.
The issue is that Carmen acts ridiculous around her. Her first day, him trailing her around the kitchen like a dementedly friendly shadow: here’s the dish pit, here’s the spice rack, stay away from Richie, hardee-har-har.
Whatever, Carmy, Richie thinks, it’s not like you had my dick in your throat twelve hours ago. Oh, wait.

Summary
Death by archer would be too merciful for the traitor, says Macrinus to Geta and Caracalla this time around. Have Acacius slay the countrymen who he loves so much, above the gods. Have him fight until his will is broken, until he cannot decide between his remorse and his will to live. Break him over Mars' knee.
If he hates war then he must live to wage it. If he loves Rome then he shall suffer for her entertainment.

Summary
The Bachelor—man of science, child of the capital—has no ritual in him. No way to excise the growing tumor in his heart. Artemy should have seen it building. Expected something drastic. No ritual, but he doesn’t lack for drama.
“Oynon.” Artemy reaches for him. The Bachelor finally looks up.
(the Bachelor has realized that this is all a farce. the Haruspex helps him through it.)
