    Summary

    David loves hockey, he does, he just doesn’t love it the way Yuna and Shane do, in that all-consuming, world-defining way of theirs that binds the two of them together tighter than just blood. Sometimes, David feels like he’s missing out. Mostly, though, he’s glad they have something to share, something that’s uniquely theirs.

    Summary

    Katniss Everdeen dies in the 74th Hunger Games. Gale and Peeta pick up the pieces.


    Peeta opens the door. For a long moment, Gale just looks at him standing there, the Capitol’s Victor, skinny and unglamorous.

    “You left this,” Gale says eventually, holding out the mockingjay pin.

    “Oh.” Peeta shuffles in the doorway. “I meant to. She’d want you to have it.”

    No, Katniss wouldn’t. She’d want Prim to have it. Gale pockets it without saying any of that, though. Words are hard to find. Peeta is even harder to look at: Gale remembers watching him dying in a cave, watching Katniss risk everything to save him, thinking that her selfless nature was finally going to get her killed and that he was about to watch it happen in real time.

    Summary

    "Fanaticism is redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim." (George Santayana)

    Nicolo tries desperately to hold to the shattered fragments of belief after his life ends for the first time in Jerusalem.


    “Would Allah wish death on me?”

    At that, Yusuf’s head snaps up. He finds himself staring into Nicolo’s icy eyes.

    And notices that they’re not ice after all. Maybe they were, once. But tonight, Nicolo’s eyes are the ocean -- vast and unknowable, but not unkind.

    “I don’t know,” Yusuf says. “I was taught that Allah was merciful.”

    Nicolo takes a long, dragging breath. “That is where God and Allah differ, then.”

    Weps has a target on his back.

    “We can’t go without you,” Zimmer says, eyes burning with intensity.

    The silence drags.

    “All right,” Weps says quietly, and leads the band of mutineers through the ship.

    Summary

    Mehta thinks that, of all the other stations, he liaises with the 118 the most. It’s weird: he can’t remember the last time he had an operation with the 134, and it’s been months since he ran into someone with the 132, and those are his neighbours. But the 118, far away as they are, always seem to pop up. So he’s not surprised to see two of the 118 on his scene when he pulls up, even though it is surprising. He just assumes, well, it’s typical 118 stuff. And it is.

    Until it isn’t.

    Summary

    It’s hard enough finding his way around this place when it’s lit up with fluorescent blue-white light. It’s impossible in the choking orange air and grey smoke. Saleh has an N-95, not that that’s going to do much for him long-term. It’ll keep him breathing a little longer, but the heat is really starting to build now, and sooner or later, the building is going to collapse on top of him.

    Summary

    Red is spending his retirement in a different badge and ladder joint every night. This way, he can sit in peace. This way, no one gets too familiar, asks too many questions. This way, he gets to be a once-a-week regular: nothing special and nothing to worry about.

    Because there is something to worry about. Red knows it. He knows this isn’t healthy. He talks to bartenders more often than he talks to family these days.

    The 134 had been his family.

    Summary

    It’s the worst day of Sam’s life for several reasons, the least of which is that he’s never liked train travel. Sure, Abby waxes poetic about her Eat, Pray, Love tour, but Europe, this is not. There’s no romanticising Phoenix to L.A., no matter how much she tries to dress it up. Plus, there’s a young woman in combat boots who won’t stop playing whatever alternative electronic sound passes for music these days.

    Abby goes to the bar, leaving Sam to wonder how he got here, really.

    And then the train derails.

    Summary

    A new technologically and magically superior Imperial nuclear submarine, the Crimson Cuersaar, is heading for the Menagerie Coast under the command of Captain Bren Aldric Ermendrud: the Widowmaker. The Clovis Concord and Zhorhasian governments think the Crimson Cuersaar is planning to attack. Lone Cobal Soul analyst Beauregard Lionnett has a different idea: she thinks Ermendrud is planning to defect, but she has only a few hours to find him and prove it - because the entire Dwendalian Imperial naval and air commands are trying to find Ermendrud, too.

    The hunt is on!

    Summary

    You touch a corpse or other remains. For the duration, the target is protected from decay and can't become undead.

    The spell also effectively extends the time limit on raising the target from the dead, since days spent under the influence of this spell don't count against the time limit of spells such as raise dead.


    In which Ruby Rocks disturbs a grave.
