Summary
“You were so hard to play with! I only got you to unbend by the end of the visit. I remember running… falling headlong, smashing flat on my face… You came over to help me up, so I pretended I was hurt much worse than I was. I always used to fake to Babs that I was about to die to make him cry when he was little, but he’d stopped really buying it, and I found myself doing it for you… I couldn’t believe you fell for it. It was wonderful, like being in a play. You were so cute, so chivalrous. I’d thought you would be boring to the core, but there you were, playing the sad soldier when I pretended I was like to die.”
“I knew you were lying the whole time.”
“You did not!” Coronabeth said laughing. “You just don’t remember.”
But Judith remembered. No one forgot their first kiss that easily. -

Summary
The Tridentarii twins’ birthday party was usually the event of the year on Ida, in the Third House. Everyone who received an invitation had to go.
Judith Deuteros received the invitation, and she didn’t want to go at all.
Judith knew how all Third parties turned out, especially the twin’s parties, and especially for her. Crying and wanting to go home when she was little. Annoyed and ignored in her tweens. And then, in her teen years, it had taken a turn.

Summary
Konstantin’s finger curled around the Bear’s throat, and maybe if he squeezed it long enough, this voice would also disappear, and there would only be silence again. An offering to the altar, the silencing of another voice.
“There is no way for you to vanquish me, Man of God,” Medved said, as if reading his thoughts. His eye twinkled in amusement at Konstantin’s hand, as if he knew there would come nothing of it. Konstantin despised the company, but he despised the silence even more. “There is only relinquishing.” -

Summary
He looks around, hopeless as her head lolls back, staring at the open sky of the stars that watch above them. If there was still a chance, if there was still something, if there’s anyone who will come and stop this—but there’s nobody here to witness the fall of the last jedi. He sighs deeply, his body trembling, lungs fighting for breath.

Summary
“You are not well,” Salvador returns. “You are overflowing with…” he pauses to search for the word and he finds it, “grief. You’re grieving. It has hollowed you out.”
“I have nothing to grieve for.”
“You’re lying, Thomas.”

Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”
--
The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

Summary
Hect’s first kisses are efficient, and orderly, and to the point: a means to an end rather than a seduction, a way of keeping her desire behind several layers of chain link fence. Pyrrha immediately sees how difficult it may be to get her to unwind for this. Pyrrha fucking loves a challenge, especially a beautiful one.
“Hey,” she says, putting her hands over Camilla’s as the other woman starts to unbutton Pyrrha’s pants; she’s surprised to feel they’re shaking. “Slow down. Let me drive for a bit.”
-
When Pyrrha starts sleeping with the Sixth, it makes her remember.
