    Summary

    She failed again.

    She always had biology chops from her days in the garden, back when it was alive. Macro, but biology nonetheless. She could trace the veins of the smallest field mouse. She could determine the difference between every extant rosefinch. She could tell you the taxonomic distinction between D. sanguinalis and D. ischaemum. But humanity has abandoned the biosphere for longer than she can recall and it would be better to use her ken to care for man.

    Chemistry. That’s where it all goes wrong every time she sits for her entry exam. She can observe an organism. She can never comprehend what happens inside of it.

    In which John Walker nearly dies, gets gifted a glittery shark hoodie, ends up in a homemade Russian sauna, and accidentally finds out he’s kind of part of a family now. It’s weird. He’s still processing.

    Summary

    “I have every reason to end you,” his hand splays on her collarbone. If only his fingers could curl around her neck. “...People like us, if we can even call ourselves that…”

    “We deserve hell, Aponia.”

    She brings his hand up—one birthed to decimate, ruin sinners like her—and brushes his knuckles against her soft lips. “I know.”

    .
    .
    .

    After the 12th Herrscher has been sealed, Kalpas and Aponia share a moment of solace.

    Summary

    A decision is made before even the first word is spoken.

    At least, that is what Mel had always believed-- still does believe, if pressed by neutral parties. But this last one, she must admit, is testing that stance.

    (Or: Mel chooses to cultivate Viktor instead of Jayce and has both regrets and a headache)

    Summary

    They’ve existed in a non-committal battle of wills for years, seeking each other’s touch only when it’s convenient and they’re both desperate. When she ends up pregnant, the unplanned child may be the very thing to get Mel and Viktor to admit the impossible: that they not only like each other but maybe even love one another.

    Summary

    “Your plan is doomed to fail,” Capitano tells her. “By trying to save everyone, you will save no one. I suggest reconsidering your position before your nation burns to the ground, solnyshko.” That last word, spoken in an unfamiliar language, rolls smoothly off his tongue.

    The soldiers behind him don't even try to stifle their disrespectful laughter.

    Mavuika narrows her eyes. “Oh, are we name calling now, Captain?” She spits his title at him with haughty venom. “That's awfully mature. What does it mean? Witch? Bitch? Or are you feeling more creative than that today?”

    Or, the five times Capitano addresses her in Snezhnayan, and the one time she understands what he's trying to say.

    Summary

    Realistic slow burn, with earned intimacy:

    Beginning four months after the events of the game (after a near-Perfect Ending), Laura, acquitted with the others of the Hackett Quarry carnage, is struggling with the psychological and emotional fallout of everything she went through last summer while the others are starting to move on. There's only one other person in the world who understands what she went through, because he put her through most of it. Would seeing him again do more harm than good?

    Summary

    Kevin Kaslana is crying. He’s sobbing, actually – and Vill-V bites down laughter.
    They’re all crying, she notices, once she pulls herself out of a daze; she, as in the original her, the Helix itself, although nobody else really notices enough to care about which personality dominates the body on any particular day.

    or: in which the Final Banquet happens, and Vill-V contemplates her life.

    Summary

    "Okay, then. Get lost."

    A small part of him hopes that it would annoy her, but she only smiles, amused. And no matter how hard Kalpas tries, he can't find any signs of anger or negative emotion in her voice or on her face.

    The story of how two very different people met, and how everything changed.
