    Summary

    He’s spent his whole life in the wheat fields of Aedes Elysiae. There are rivers and lakes, mountains and forests, and beneath the sun, the land turns to gold like alchemy.

    His parents are as healthy as ever, and the village is prospering in trade. There is nothing more that he could ask for in this idyllic world where all of his loved ones are happy.

    But sometimes, when night falls, he looks up at the twinkling cosmos and thinks that something’s missing. Nights like these, Phainon lies down, pillowed by wheat, pinned to the earth under the weight of the vast sky, watching the stars slowly and imperceptibly change, above him and without him.

    Summary

    “That’s why you,” Rock says as he stuffs a wadded-up apron into his hand, “are going to help out here so I can nurture him,” Rock points outside the window to the most pathetic looking man Dragon Boy has ever seen, “into becoming the new E-Soul.”

    Dragon Boy stares at the guy. Looks down at the pink apron in his hand before he, very slowly, drags his eyes back up to meet Rock’s.

    “Old man,” he says, “have you finally gone fucking senile?”

    (Rock’s put Dragon Boy through a lot of shit these past few years, but making him work in customer service has got to top the list for the worst thing he’s ever done.)

    Summary

    There’s a saying in Aeragan-Epharsel: “Death is the fairest form of grace.”

    But there’s a grace to holding this bundle of life in your arms too.

    Every little thing about her is a miracle—the way her cheeks radiate a secondary glow when she bubbles with laughter, the way her lashes dance like butterfly wings as she fights off sleep. Taking your eyes away from her feels unimaginable, though you cannot help but wonder what Nick must think of the sight: You, sitting in front of the fireplace, twenty-years old and cradling a baby with bottles and rattles surrounding your feet.

    Boothill, before the IPC.

    (“…I… truly hope we do. Then… none of them will ever be afraid of the dark, as I have been.”)

     - or, aglaea, three conversations she had with no one, and the one time she was answered back.
