Summary
Es was a being of in-betweens and doorways, of the immaterial transplanted and transformed, so it did not take them very long to realize they were being haunted.

Paddling Out (THE REPEATER CORPSE CONUNDRUM) by transhitman

Summary
To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.
Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

Summary
The first thing Kim did after returning to his dorm was take a long shower. It took five full minutes for sensation to return to the tips of his ears even under the hottest water he could bear without wincing; the rain still hammering down outside is far colder than it has any right to be in Central California’s early April. By the time he’d made it back to the relative shelter of campus, which at least has broad awnings to walk beneath, he was shivering uncontrollably. Even the advertised water-resistant fabric of his gym bag had soaked through, and his clothes—both the ones on his body and the ones in the backpack—were drenched, gone heavy with rainwater.

Summary
Harry, on the pitching mound, gives no indication of noticing the deluge. His curls are stuck to the side of his neck with a mixture of rainwater and sweat, and his shirt clings to him, and his pitching hand is streaked with mud and grit to match the cowhide ball it holds. His pitches, which were mechanical even at the start of practice, have tipped over the edge into sloppiness. It is silent in the dugout and on the field. Everyone is watching and everyone is pretending to look away.

Summary
Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

Summary
It felt unfinished. That's the thing when Leo got the news that Jolyon had died. The thing beyond fervent promises over long afternoon card games in creaky caravans, smoke rings and secrets on abandoned church rooftops, and the cold gold chain glinting in his pocket. It felt unfinished. They felt unfinished.
The most alive person in all of Aldomina, gone just like that.

The place is like a museum. It's very beautiful and very cold, and you're not allowed to touch anything. Can you appreciate what it must have been like for Cameron to be in that joint as a baby?

Summary
Captain Davenport and the aftermath, the things he can’t control, and the things he would rather not admit.
It isn’t perfect right away. So he takes his boat out to sea to try and find some peace, to feel like himself again, or even just to find out who that really is.
