Summary
Gideon remembers the first time they stuck Harrow on the ice, in her matching puffy pants and coat and her sombre black helmet, like shoving a cranky baby rook out of the nest. She fell down immediately, and when none of the adults seemed about to step in and right her, Gideon did it herself. She could skate backward by then, so she took Harrow’s mittened hands and tugged her along in slow, endless circles. She remembers—or thinks she remembers, maybe it’s just her mind filling in from later examples—Harrow’s furrowed, pinched expression of furious concentration. She always hated needing help. More than she hated Gideon, maybe. But that day, for the few hours it took her to get her blades under her, she scowlingly accepted both.
Or, the figure skating AU that happens when I binge watch too much Grand Prix coverage.

Summary
Rage boiled up from somewhere in her stomach, and it had been so fucking long since she felt anything—so she opened her mouth and let it scream out of her, and Harrow’s head whipped around. Those starless eyes caught in her skin like barbs, pinned her feet to the floor.
In which Gideon Nav is really going through it.

Summary
Harrowhark, who Gideon had always assumed had despised her for her loud, unapologetically weird gender stuff, and who was now a fucking girl, the hypocritical little shit.
---
Gideon's finally got her life on track. She's transitioned, she has people she can rely on, and she's gotten into University. And then an awful, terrible, no good hate-goblin from her past reappears and throws her through a loop by also having transitioned.
Harrow has her work, her life's purpose, and no time for distractions. She also has her secrets, and no intention to share them with anyone. And then the execrable Gideon Nav blunders back into her life and threatens calamity.

Summary
"Imagine the social world as a physical space, and then imagine a map of the space representing a soldier's sense of social connectedness. How does this map change after someone above the soldier violates 'what's right'? [Soldiers] fight mainly for their comrades; this has become conventional wisdom even among civilians. Prolonged exposure to danger and the profound strain of battle compel this contraction of loyalty to some degree in every war. However, soldiers sometimes lose responsiveness to the claims of any bonds, ideals, or loyalties outside a tiny circle of immediate comrades. . . [the soldier's] social horizon, in the midst of lethal dangers to them all, has contracted."
-- "Shrinkage of the Social and Moral Horizon" from Achilles in Vietnam

Summary
There is a house in the woods. The sort of house your eyes pass over without noticing. Webbed with ivy and hidden behind new, more interesting growth. That’s why Rose picks it—she needs a place to go unnoticed. To be alone, to shake loose her mistakes and start over.
Her mistakes, unfortunately, have no other choice. When Rose moves into the house in the woods, she brings with her a troubled Past and uncertain Future.
“I can’t see what will happen next,” Future says, overwhelmed. “There are too many possibilities.”
“We’re in the middle of nowhere,” Past points out, sour and sad. “What possibilities could there be?”
Pulled along like the tides behind the moon, Past and Future scud cloudy through the overgrown brush of the yard and linger outside the door. Rose is inside already. They don’t need to see her or hear her to know.
