Summary
What’s he going to do, say ‘Bad,’ so that Eliot can frown and stop what he’s doing and rub Quentin’s shoulders and say, ‘Shit, baby. What’s going on?’ and Quentin can answer, ‘I thought we were out of eggs but we weren’t,’ because he didn’t have the decency to unpack his own mental breakdown before he came out here to ruin Eliot’s afternoon, like. Seriously?

Summary
Realizing that you don’t care about sex when it’s all your friends care about is a tricky prospect. There’s a temptation to put yourself above them, to convince yourself that you’re simply too mature to be hung up on sex and dating, that you have better things to think about, like your schoolwork or your college applications or your part-time job as a licensed private investigator. That’s easy, because it lets you imagine that one day, when everyone else is as mature as you are, you’ll all care about sex a normal amount and the fact that you’ve never once imagined yourself engaging in it will be irrelevant, because everything will be as it should be.
It’s not true, of course.

“Okay, well, I was talking to Rio while we were - - in a meeting,” oh god, that’s - - Beth flushes at Ruby’s knowing look, can feel the bubble of babble in her throat cresting, but powers through it. “And I told him Dean and I were selling the house, and I asked him for, you know, like, a little extra money or a raise or something to help me out with finding somewhere.”
“A raise on your fifty percent?” Ruby asks, and Beth nods vehemently, returning Ruby’s are you out of your mind? look with her own who’s side are you on? look before powering through.
“Anyway, he said no, and then we were at a – another meeting a couple of days ago, and he proposed that we - -“ she fumbles for the words in her head. “Consolidate our assets. In our partnership.”

Summary
Right now, Beth pulls the trigger, and Rio’s smile doesn’t so much as slip. His empty grin widening out into something real, something animal. Beth cocks his gun clumsily, and aims again, and it takes her three tries to realise that the chamber’s empty.

Summary
Quentin Coldwater, high-fantasy wunderkind and eternal sucker for a good hero, only needs one thing: to finish the last book of his trilogy.
Eliot Waugh, genre-busting enfant terrible and antihero (at best) of his own not-so-thinly-veiled life story, doesn’t need anything at all.
A middle-of-winter book tour reveals, one snow-covered city at a time, that there may be something else they both (desperately) need. If only they can let themselves have their own happy ending.

Summary
After a second Jon steps in towards him, close enough that Martin flinches, but all Jon does is put two fingers under his chin with his free hand and raise it until Martin can’t duck away. Jon has never touched him so casually before – at least, not until today, and it raises a lot of thoughts and feelings that Martin is trying very hard not to process.
Much like a lot of other things that have happened, he thinks. Not that it’s horrible or terrifying or numbing like everything else has been: it’s just another thing on the list of things he doesn’t have the capacity to deal with.
---
In the wake of the Lonely, there's a lot that Martin doesn't really want to think about.

Jon sighed and took a sip of his drink. He raised an eyebrow at the group as they stared in varying degrees of total shock.
“I went to university.” he said simply, “Never have I eve-“
“No no, hang on.” Tim cut him off, “You went on a drug bender in uni!?”

Summary
Martin can see the way that Jon's hands shake, and the dark bruises around his eyes. He notices the jitters and the skipped meals and the way that Jon is first in the Archives in the morning, and last out at night, assuming he ever leaves.
It can't go on. And Martin thinks that he might have a solution.

Summary
Quentin Coldwater doesn’t die alone, trapped in a world between mirrors.
He doesn’t watch all of the people he loves mourn him and think my life is done. He doesn’t give up, or give in, or waste away.
But he dreams he does.

Summary
"The Curse of the Lover's Touch," Kady said, slapping down a piece of paper on the bedside table next to Q. Her lip actually curled as she said it, as she seemingly realized how nauseating the name was.
"It's actually pretty simple. Hedges usually only bother with it when they think someone is unloved and alone, because it's a double-whammy, see? You start dying, slowly and painfully, and you also get the knowledge that if you weren't such a dickhead and you had true love in your life, you'd be totally fine."
Q gets cursed, and Alice can't help. Magic forces Q and Eliot to cuddle and talk about their feelings.

Summary
They’d been drinking, and Eliot looked so, so beautiful in the firelight from the ever burning torches, skin kissed orange-gold and hair a wild halo. It would be easy to pretend it was an impulsive decision, some switch-flip moment. But it’s not.
Eliot looked so, so beautiful, and Quentin wanted him. It was that simple.
The first year of the Mosaic timeline.

Summary
“Would you tell me a bedtime story?” he finally asked quietly, with heavy-lidded eyes, still staring at the television.
Eliot’s heart throbbed. Are you asking because you miss me? Eliot wanted to ask. Or just because you’re still not okay and I make you feel better?
And also: Is this what being brave means? That I don’t ask, and I just keep opening my heart to you, because I fucked up and didn’t choose you, and she had already given you the words you needed by the time I got free of the Monster that hurt you that you still won’t talk about?
And: Does it mean I never point out that you never chose me, either, not really? Not in the ways that mean anything?
