Summary
‘I figure you’re horrendously busy with everything, but don’t you think it’s about time we exchanged phone numbers?’ Serval suggests with a grin.
‘What’s a phone?’
She pauses, staring at the plate half-filled with cookies like she doesn’t know what a cookie is. ‘Um. Hmm. I wasn’t expecting to have this conversation.’
Rebuilding Belobog one day at a time.
(Watch your step; we can dance around this web of lies.)

Summary
"Hey, thanks for taking care of Ruby.”
Blake feels her chest swell with the sincerity in Yang’s voice, but brushes it back quickly, replying, “Just doing my job.”
Yang’s response comes quickly, “Don’t do that. I don’t know why, but knowing you were in there for her surgery made it a lot easier being out here waiting.”
“Oh… well, I’m glad that I could be there. She really did great in there. I think she’ll be back to normal in no time.” Blake rises, holding out her hand to shake Yang’s.
Yang’s grip is strong, but her eyes soft as she replies, “Thank you Dr. Belladonna. Will I--we be seeing you again?”

Summary
Blake turns to the soundboard and slides the song’s volume down, turning up the mic’s. She takes a breath and conjures her radio voice, low and resonant in her throat.
“Hey there. You are listening to Nightshade on OZPN 96.7 FM Beacon College Radio….”Or
The Bumbleby college radio AU no one asked for.

Summary
“I don’t want you do something stupid on international television when you could’ve just downloaded Tinder,” Weiss says. Blake smiles—there’s the Weiss she knows—and goes back to folding her shirt.
“I’m not going to do anything stupid,” she says. “I’m not looking to meet anyone, and if I was, I wouldn’t go after wannabe reality TV stars. But they’re going to fly me all over the world, Weiss, and pay me more than I made in four years of royalties off my last book.”
“When you put it like that, it sounds almost reasonable.”
“That’s because it is,” Blake says. “Now help me pack or get out of my apartment.”
“Just promise me you won’t actually marry someone you meet on reality television."
(Blake agrees to become Remnant's next bachelorette for a lot of reasons, but getting married is absolutely nowhere on that list. Then, of course, she meets Yang.)
