Foçalors cut you out of herself, set you aside and apportioned to you your mortality and your duty- made you of herself according to your role. Perhaps you can do the same.
(In which Celestia is not quite so silent regarding the destruction of the hydro throne and Furina must figure out how Visions work Right Now.)

“It’s-” you start, but you never grew the habit of explaining yourself, not even to him- especially not to him, even- and your head and heart both are too heavy to begin now.

Bookmarker's Notes
You watch the joy drain from him, Xiao, the satisfaction disappearing back off him, the animal parts of him gone, replaced by lowered shoulders, the human visage snapping back into place. He touches you for only a moment longer, and then he withdraws, further and further, a sudden gulf growing between you that you don’t know how to navigate. He wants something from you. You suspect he wants you to be a person.

Summary
(He's not even drunk, which might make it all a little more understandable. Sorry, Mr. E, I'm just kind of a lightweight, I don't know what I was doing, and that would be true, because Eddie knows from his limited experience with college parties and spiked punch that he starts slurring his words and making terrible puns with very little provocation. No, Mr. Edgeworth had purchased him sparkling grape juice, the sickly sweet kind from the grocery store which Eddie does, admittedly, go wild for. He'd never buy alcohol for a nineteen-year-old, because he is a paragon of legality and righteousness and perfection.)
(Holy shit.)
(What is he doing.)

Bookmarker's Notes
What happens is (he's so fucked) that Mr. Edgeworth kisses him back. Mr. Edgeworth kisses him with the same vigor that he displays in court, as if he's cross-examining Eddie's tongue, and Eddie melts. Who wouldn't? He kisses like he's taking Eddie under his wing for a brand-new kissing internship, all assured and knowing, a hand cupped around his jaw and another on his hip.

She gets a job flying local between the original colony and the one on the far side of the continent that's still trying to get itself self-sufficient. She doesn't get to break atmo, but she likes it better than the docks work she was doing back on Gateway, he knows.
"One of the other pilots mentioned a quarantine today," she tells him. "On Fiorina 161."

Summary
Lana had fully twisted around in her seat to face Mia. Her face shone with intent. This wasn't the violence of a switchblade; Mia revised her initial impression. It was the incisive examination of a scalpel, a curiosity that cored through flesh in its search for answers. She saw it in the mirror, sometimes.

Bookmarker's Notes
She wanted to shield Maya from it as long as she could but it was, after all, her own actions that had crowned Maya with that cold weight, Maya’s future taken as consideration for a chance to exhume the truth. Her own hands tying Maya to the tracks. Mia rarely prayed anymore but sometimes she still found herself interlacing her fingers and shutting her eyes. Oh, mother. Please let me be right. Please let me have chosen the right thing to do, so I have not turned Maya into a living mausoleum for nothing.

Bookmarker's Notes
He was, Mike was somewhat vindictively pleased to notice, for the first time in their long acquaintance, a few adjectives removed from ‘immaculate.’ His hair was well-combed, but for several strands rebelling mightily against their usual routine; his tie, ordinarily the pride and joy of a Psmith ensemble, listed ever so slightly to the left; and that illustrious eyeglass, which performed at all times in perfect harmony with its wearer, drooped sadly on its line.

“Different owl,” she said. “I had to be a bigger owl later. It was tremendously difficult Charter-work, actually. Sam still can’t do it.”
“Thanks,” Sam said, from his seat in the far corner. Lirael started. She’d obviously entirely forgotten he was there.

Summary
Danny honestly didn't know much about Rusty Ryan. At a poker game once he'd heard Rusty tell a guy that he was from Orlando. Danny thought not. Everything about him said California, the Valley. Danny would have bet large sums that his people were Okies, migrants who'd fled the Dust Bowl with the banks at their heels, snapping up their homes and their land. There was something post-apocalyptic about Rusty's angle on the world. Besides, nobody who put that much work into being effortlessly cool could have come from anywhere but California.

There was an officer sitting with his hat in his hands on the bench halfway along, spot-lit by the bare bulb not quite over his head, and the combination of shadows and light on his spare form made Bunter’s fingers itch with the desire to catch the image with the camera he was carrying. It was only the knowledge that neither the camera nor the film were his own that stopped him. Still, he had eyes, and a memory, and since he hadn’t been noticed yet, he took a long look.

the mystery of the masked mystique by bandersnatches for CypressSunn
Fandoms: Knives Out (Movies)
17 Dec 2024

Summary
And the party is cheesy and dreadful and extravagant and looks exactly like something out of The Masked Mystique. There are blood-red punch bowls arrayed on the tables; a little in poor taste, considering the book murder involved poisoned punch, but Walt looks pleased with himself and keeps urging people to drink more. Joni is frowning contemplatively into her glass, looking as if she’s considering emptying it into a potted plant.
Marta pours herself an over-full glass of punch, fingers clenched around the stem of the glass, nervous.

So I sat there a while longer, looking at my father’s face in paint – a piece of a story from before I was born – and wondered if Hail Rosamer knew what she had caught there. On the whole, I suspected that she did not. But of course I could not ask her, and there are many things that paint will never tell me.

"Tyrell?" says Byrne, and his own face nods. "If by 'this,' you mean, have you apparently taken over my body, then yes."
Tyrell runs his fingers through his hair. Byrne's hair? The hair that normally belongs to Byrne. "Don't know... how you stand keeping it this long," he says. "It's getting... in my eyes."
