    Summary

    "I don't know who I hate more," you admit, having told the story. "Misha, or myself."

    Ricky pauses his game and looks up to raise an eyebrow at you. "You didn't describe him doing anything in that story that would actually give you reason to hate him." With horror you realise that he's right. "The worst thing he did was be annoying." In your mind you add making you look bad to your friends to Misha's list of crimes.

    ***

    Noel navigates high school, haunting, and Misha.

    Summary

    Kaz was out of town when the Komedie Brute decided to have audacity in spades.
    Later, Wylan thought this was probably best. Giving the actors a grace period of about a week without having to worry about the presence of Kaz was probably a good thing.
    The real Kaz, that was.

    Summary

    Nina finally came to herself and burst out into the aisle to confront Kaz, indignant.
    “You said we were needed for a job at a wedding!”
    “You are,” said Kaz briskly, taking the ledger from Rotty and flipping through it.
    “I thought we’d be robbing some mercher event! Doing a real job!”
    “That’s your folly. Besides, I haven’t told you what you have to do, yet.”
    “This is your wedding!"
    Kaz looked blankly at her.
    “Did I say it wasn’t?”

    Summary

    He knew that when that moment arrived, when Kaz took that fateful step into the embrace of the sea, Jordie, one with the True Sea itself, would sense his presence.

    But seconds passed. Minutes passed. Days passed. The tides shifted in and out again and again. Jordie’s patience waned, replaced by an ever-growing frustration.

    Jordie spent countless nights gazing at the star-studded sky, imagining their reunion, the look of shock on his brother’s face, their hearts beating in sync once again.

    But there was no Kaz, and Jordie raged.

    OR

    Jordie survives the Barge and becomes his own type of monster.
