    Summary

    In retrospect, the new count's method of finding a wife was neither kind nor fair. But in the moment, it seemed like a brilliant plan: Gather twenty eligible maidens, and whomsoever demonstrates a skill that most impresses me will become my bride.

    Admittedly, it seemed like a brilliant plan because the count was high as a kite when he announced it to his new steward. It was only later, on a sober and depressing morning, that he heard the steward tonelessly inform him of the ongoing arrangements for his bridal contest and Pent belatedly remembered what he had commanded.

    Summary

    Chrom has seen Frederick's bare back a thousand times before—changing out of armor after a battle, swimming in a creek on lazy summer mornings, leaning casually against a tree as he hangs a freshly laundered shirt to dry—but it seems, suddenly, that Chrom has never before truly seen Frederick's back: the powerful muscles, the stalwart line of his spine, the way everything narrows at his surprisingly trim waist and then flares at his–

    Chrom swallows. His mouth is painfully dry, but perhaps that is just the effects of Lissa's mulled wine. We should never put her on mess duty ever again.

    Summary

    Yui thinks about missing the train, deliberately, just so she can see how this conversation ends—but she has a sudden vision of her parents, and how they will react if she does not come home on schedule after her first time riding the train by herself, and the imagined shame is enough to compel her forward.

    Inside the train, she frantically turns around to watch the two boys, who are both pale and staring at one another, and the very last thing she hears, before the train doors slide mercilessly shut, is Tomoda saying, "But why? I would have been happy to have just continued supporting you."

    Summary

    As they got closer, abruptly a man's figure resolved itself from the leaves and shadows. He was standing with his back turned away from them, and his wide-legged posture and the position of his arms was such that even Clarine, well-bred and sheltered as she was, clearly realized what the man was doing.

    Rutger felt her once again try to pull him to a stop, but his pace did not slacken.

    Summary

    Suzu ignored them, because she already knew what those messages would say. (Suzu, new licensing request for Belle! Suzu, it's time to renegotiate our merchandise agreements! Suzu–)

    The fifth one was signed with a little crown emoji, and it said: did you get my package

    Summary

    "That's absurd."

    "It is part of his character backstory," Dorothy said, shrugging. "He has practiced holding his breath until he barely needs to breathe."

    "You might as well say that he practiced dying until he was immortal."

    Summary

    Her brother's eyes flickered to the side, and Ayaka knew that he was about to do something noble and brotherly and self-immolating for her sake. He would ruin what was clearly a long-planned and intricate scheme if it gave her a chance to safely leave this room.

    No, that's not fair, I won't let him sacrifice himself for me, Ayaka thought, and she leaned forward to kiss him.

    Summary

    "Regrettably, I fear he may not be entirely cooperative."

    "No," Corrin said thoughtfully. "If I know him, he won't cooperate at all. Unless he has to." She placed a hand against her flat stomach. "Unless his honor compels him."

    Summary

    It would be a mistake to call it a "kiss." It was rough; it was awkward; neither of them knew what to do with teeth or tongues. But even so, neither drew back as they panted into each other's mouths, their breath acrid, their saliva sour.

    "So you are the witch," he said. "I come here with a message from the commander of the Liberation Army. If you surrender, we will leave you in peace."

    Deneb stared up at him.

    "Surrender? Surrender?"

    Summary

    There are little plastic stands in every booth that proudly advertise FREE MCDONALD’S WIFI. If Viola still had a cellphone, they could kill time with checking the weather and reading The New York Times and swiping through TikTok.

    But the cellphone was the first thing Viola ditched, a full day before they boarded the Greyhound for Illyria. Phones can be tracked, after all.

    Summary

    And on the other side of the room, Andrew would catch occasional glimpses of Margaret, the hem of her dress rippling against her pale thigh, her cranberry spritz held aloft like a tiny torch, smiling with very sharp teeth at another editor, and he would think, We make such a good team.

    It was a stupid thought, and he would regret it shortly.
