Bookmarker's Notes
The oil from that child's tree had tasted sweet, like honey and despair.
'Banana nut duck bread,' some flicker of memory had suggested. That would go well with honey. Would go well with despair. There had been something so familiar about the way the Edelwood had crept up over the small, frail body once the child had given up hope.

His mangled traveling bag spilled red-gold feathers that charred to black as their magic spent, dragging him back from the precipice every time. It was morning; it was not worth counting how many times he must have died in the night.

Humans, Caleb tells her, are programmed to find patterns in everything.

You take the marble out. The goldfish is dead and you have to shred its skin off to get to it. You have scales stuck beneath your fingernails, hard and slimy. And when you’ve got the marble in your hand, you wipe it off on your shirt and turn it over, holding it up in the red light of the sun.
There’s a number on the marble. What number is it?

“Finally, dude,” Nathan says, a wide smirk crossing his face at the moment Caleb catches his eye. “I’ve been waiting forever. Do you know how boring it is to just talk without anyone listening?”

“You look better than I do, anyway,” Nathan says, tipping his head and looking down at Caleb’s body with a considering expression. “I look like a fucking chump, but here you are, all Sleeping fucking Beauty.”

Summary
Before he fully recognizes what he’s doing, shaking fingers are deftly unbuttoning Blake’s jacket. Schofield has adopted a permanent tremor ever since his first battle, ever since the first shot rang out.
“What’re you doing?” Blake asks, though it’s far away and unconcerned.
“The medic is busy. You need to take care of this now. It’s a bad place to be infected.” Schofield leaves out the obvious: you can’t amputate a torso. “Sit up straight. I’ll do it.”
- or, the one where Schofield plays doctor.

So they read their letters and eat their rations, and Schofield beats Blake in gin rummy at least a thousand times. When they switch to poker following Blake’s begging, Schofield wins even more.
(“You’re cheating. You’ve marked the cards.”
“They are your cards.”)

Bookmarker's Notes
To most observers, there was no Wiegraf; he was indistinct from the Lucavi who had claimed him. However—ever so occasionally—those remnants of a human being would collect, adhere, and float to the surface of the menstruum containing them—like oil or scum atop water.

That not only was it Ferris who asked her out -- despite the rumor that he was so sought after he'd never had to ask for a date in his life -- he had to ask three times. That after the second time she told Cameron: they were waiting for Ferris to talk the ticket attendant into selling him three R-rated movie tickets, because what did it matter if you were underage when Nightmare on Elm Street was showing. That Cameron was quiet for so long she had to say his name, and then he said, "Yep. Yep, yep yep," like he was talking to himself, and wouldn't talk about it anymore.

Bookmarker's Notes
Once or twice or somewhat embarrassingly more often than that, one of them has had to get dressed again and jog down the street to the corner shop to pick up a new jar because somehow they'd missed olives off the shopping list - Sasha doesn't believe that for a second, of course, because he's the one who makes the list - and Tom can't have his nightly martini without it. Sasha thinks it's utter nonsense but it makes him smile anyway, even if he's half convinced it's a ploy to get one of them out of the house so that Tom can talk to his handlers back in London. Still, he's long since decided he doesn't really care if that's the case; if he cared, he supposes he'd've killed him.

Grace lifted her head. She wasn’t sitting on the steps anymore—she was in the trophy room, seated around the pentagram table. Her hands were clean and intact, and all around her, watching with wary anticipation, sat every one of the recently departed Le Domases, significantly more corporeal than she had seen them last. Their eyes were fixed on the card in her hand.

And then she would start sleeping with someone and she would turn into this Disney villain, this jerk jock from a teen movie, this person who didn't remember the name of someone she had been fucking for three weeks. She's still smiling at Debbie, unrepentant. Debbie loves her so much.

And then there are the days when Daphne’s boldness and fluttering lashes and lingerie give way to Jerry’s practicality and realism and stubble. Subsumed isn’t the word, because there’s no doubt in Daphne or Jerry’s mind that they are the same person; it’s more that Daphne is comfortably cocooned while Jerry emerges, and vice versa. The real complication is the days when both of them are out of the cocoon, each vying for nectar and flight, wondering how to share the sunlight.

“What? Of course we’re friends. I have a key to your apartment.”
“Yeah, I didn’t give that to you,” Alan says mildly, and Nadia waves it off.
“You had five extras in a bowl, man, it was like a candy jar, y’know? You just take that shit, it’s right there for free.”

Trudging through the snow next day, they went from house to house, like the gloomiest carollers, and in each house, the same story prevailed: the christmas goose had been stolen, along with several small and portable items. Not valuables, but things like spectacles, the coal scuttle, marzipan mice, and oranges. Following the waddling tracks in the snow led to caches of tat, although the marzipan mice all seemed to have been eaten.

Phil nods seriously, feeling the small squeeze she gives his arm as she slips her hand into the crook of his elbow. "What she said, boys. It's dangerous out here for a lady. There's...there's--"
"Well, the ice," Judy says.
"The ice, yes."
"And the walkways may be slick."
"Slick walkways, uh-huh."
"And of course there's always a chance some big animal could come out of the trees. Why, we've seen deer and elk and moose, haven't we, Phil?"
"Oh, we have. Big moose. Big." Phil holds a hand up to his shoulder, not really sure how big a moose is but figuring he's tall enough that shoulder-high will seem tall enough. "Big moose."
