Summary
“Anytime you need me, you hear? Just call. Send a bird and I’ll come.” His voice is unusually thick, and he turns his face aside to cough. There’s a gleam in his eye that Celica knows is not moonlight, or torchlight. “I’d come from my grave if you called me, lass.”

Summary
Sender: Celestino Cialdini, Headmaster, PPDC Jaeger Academy
Subject: Official Recommendation - Cadet Yuri Plisetsky, Ranger-in-Training
Recommendation Status: Recommended with Reservation
Notes: A talented cadet with commendable physical ability and a well-rounded skill-set, but impeded by lower-than-average synchronization rates and a generally unstable Drift connection. Potentially high-functioning pilot if a compatible partner can be found. Failing that, highly suitable for a number of officer positions in the J-Tech division.
In which two problem kids learn to ride together, and soon find that the battles are inside your head long before they're out on the water. -

Summary
The way Otabek says his name is different from any other voice he’s ever heard, and he’s convinced there must be more to that than newness. They’ve known each other less than a week, but there have been times—times he’s nearly lost his head over the sensation of something connecting, the two of them meeting face to face, as much as a pair of almost-strangers can.
Barcelona, and what comes after.

Summary
As Mila lay in the grass with her head in Sara Crispino’s lap, listening to her speak, it came clear—being without this girl, watching her fold under someone else’s want and become someone’s wife, would be the first real sorrow of her life. And just then, on the heels of such a seemingly unassuming sequence of words, she’d known what she might do.
“I could make something for you. Some charm, to keep the men away if you don’t want them.”
“You do that well enough on your own, Milena.” Sara laughed. When she looked down and caught Mila’s gaze, a spark danced in her eye, and her smile went a little crooked at the edges, knowing and wry. “I don’t think I’d need any charms if I simply stayed by your side all the time.”

Summary
All the books say the winter jasmine is a wonder—no other plant persists in flowering over the worst of the cold months; or somehow survives, with an almost human stubbornness, in whatever site or soil offered it, dry ground or damp, in sun, in shade or anything in between.
Yuri tells Otabek as much, one morning, on the way back into the inn from the stables: “It doesn’t need you, you know. If you leave it, it will blossom just the same.”

Summary
Tonight Yuuri’s fixing dinner in the kitchen, and Phichit’s in the bedroom alone. For now the room stands untouched. Their room, everything in it—two years of settling and all the odds and ends they’ve accumulated to break it in and make it home.
There’s nothing to be done but to take pictures of it all, of course. First Yuuri’s side, then his, then a long view of the whole room that he needs to back all the way up against the far wall for. More than the way everything looks, it’s to save the stories too.

Summary
Phichit wonders briefly if this is what a creative crisis feels like, and why he couldn’t have had one sooner rather than later. It’s paralyzing enough to have the specter of one last big pre-thesis requirement hanging over him, the words on the first page of Chris’ syllabus for Advanced Photo Fine Arts Concepts floating before his mind's eye:
Objectives
By the end of the semester, you will have:
1. Recalled important principles, concepts, and techniques of your chosen genre of photography.
2. Appraised key personal influences within (and also beyond, when applicable) your genre.
3. Conceptualized and curated a personal exhibition of your work that is informed by the principles, concepts, and techniques of your genre, and that also seeks to articulate and contextualize the desired direction of your individual photographic practice as you currently understand it.Colorful professional and academic reputation notwithstanding, Chris certainly isn’t the type to do things by halves.

Summary
It’s been five years. He’s older now, and, if he’s really honest about it, no less afraid. But for half of that time he’s had this boy next to him—this strange, brave, happy boy from the same side of the world as him, who drives too fast and listens more to Carly Rae Jepsen than he does to their coach, but who always seems to know where he’s going even if Yuuri can’t tell the streets apart.
Or: five times Phichit takes Yuuri for a ride, and one time they stay in. -

Summary
After the children were killed there were no more candles lit in the east banquet hall. All but three of them were dead now, and the women too. Xander had forgotten their names but he could still count their seats all the same, standing empty at a table on which dust had already begun to settle.
Some would call it a miracle that the three were still alive and whole. Xander called it punishment, for how long it kept him awake through the night.

Summary
This, they know, is how you start a story. This is how you build a home. A man goes to his knees before his joy and tells her he would give her all his days if she’ll have them, and the promise itself points the way toward a new world, one where a girl has only to say yes and the very sky opens.

Summary
Of course it would be foolish to think she could smoke out a ninja in a crowded room; it just so happens that this one is generous enough to meet her halfway. Azura knows that whatever semblance of acuity she does possess is probably more his doing than hers, that she wouldn’t be able to find him at all if he didn’t—in some small part, at least—want to be found.
It’s tempting to puzzle over what that might mean, but she lets it go. Lets it be what it is, unencumbered by words.

Summary
Their shadows fall on either side of her, but when she draws her shoulders up and stares straight ahead she’d like to think it’s hard to tell who’s protecting whom.
