    Summary

    “FM.”

    Ryoshu’s lips curve around her cigarette, and around each character, enunciating the acronym with an aggressive clearness. Her breath makes the particles of dust and ash tremble within the red arcs of sunset light that cut through the carefully decorated corner suite office.

    “You’re covered in blood,” Outis murmurs harshly as she shifts her folio and marks an error needing correction with ink that matches the crimson splatters of gore streaking her subordinate’s suit.

    Outis imagines what it would feel like to run her tongue along Ryoshu’s teeth. But she doesn’t need to imagine; she has done this all before.

    Summary

    Emil Sinclair is dead.

    Ryōshū marvels at the aftermath of a boy's ruined heart laid bare, ruminates on the artistic medium of blood and viscera, and discovers she disagrees quite vehemently with Heathcliff on the topic of hatred.

    Summary

    Okay, sure, so maybe Rodya accidentally got a glimpse at the inside of that weird pocketwatch Outis kept on her. And maybe she made a comment about the photograph inside that resulted in her getting stabbed. But in her defense, how was she supposed to know that Outis was married?

    Summary

    You'd think being history's greatest conniving harlot would give you some pointers on how to handle a situation like this, but Anne's almost a year into the band and still not clear on whether stabbing or seducing Aragon would be the most productive course of action. As if being the twenty-first century pop sensation re-incarnation of an English monarch's famously beheaded second bride wasn't enough of a headache without throwing ex-wifey number one into the mix- and that's without getting into the motley crew she's supposed to turn to for advice.

    Summary

    Alphys tried hard to be a good teacher. Which probably wouldn’t have been hard even without Toriel working in the same building, or without having to step into Mr. Gerson’s shoes. But she tried. And a part of that meant that she did her best not to... kids all have! Their own circumstances! You couldn’t just think, oh this is a bad kid, this is a good kid. Kids are kids.

    ...But all the same, it takes a serious effort of will not to try to find an excuse to rush out of the room when she notices Berdly lingering after class. Berdly was a.... good kid! He worked hard. He was... academically.... motivated....
    -----

    In which Berdly seeks out advice from Alphys about matters of the heart, nerd to nerd, and winds up letting on that he's nursing a. Somewhat unexpected crush.
