Summary
Damen steals Nikandros' thunder.
"I’m going to ride home tomorrow and begin preparations to ask for her hand,” Nikandros says, and Laurent smiles wider and says, “Oh, wonderful,” as Damen leaps to his feet with a thundering crash of chair against flagstone.
“Nikandros!” he shouts, papers flying, arms wide, “This— amazing! She sounds amazing! Congratulations!”

Summary
No one had ever accused Maxwell Gotch of having particularly good luck. On the contrary, in fact.
Case in point; Olethra was out exploring Zumhara and flirting with Ludmila, while Maxwell was down for the count in his quarters.
Just his luck.

Summary
Torse’s shoulders are tense and pensive. His arm falls back to his side. Maxwell is not the most physical of people (besides in the ring), but his fingers twitch and stay where they are. Touching metal is different than the heat and pressure of skin.
He swallows thickly. With his thumb resting on a weld line, all he can think to say is: “What does it feel like?”
Torse pauses curiously. “What does what feel like?”
“Your heart, when you change it. When you switch from gold to iron.”
Torse turns his head down, towards where his heart’s softly glowing light illuminates Maxwell’s fingertips. He is quiet for some time. Then he meets his eyes again. “Like fire,” he decides. -

“When you stand in the middle of a road,” Shion said, “and you look back at the way you came from, and ahead at where you’re going…” The tone was deliberate; it sank like an anchor in Nezumi’s chest. “There is nothing to celebrate when it’s all the same. The same road extending in both directions, without a curve. Without a change in the view. From one horizon to the other, just the same straight, unbroken road.” He uttered the words without a quaver, but his eyes drifted as he spoke and fixed somewhere just above Nezumi’s head, unseeing. The mannerism was so unlike him that for a heartbeat, Nezumi felt he was staring at a stranger.

Summary
One of her earliest memories is piecing a skeleton back together bone by bone, matching a chalk outline left in one of the unused storage rooms of the Compass Points Library. The skull there, each vertebrate descending in the proper order, each finger bone and kneecap and toe following the simply worded instructions and detailed pictorial guide etched into the wall. Once the task was finished, she’d hefted the book of pirate spells and set it on the bones, stumbling back from the exhalation of magic in the air.

"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
Blue is Kanto Champion for thirty-nine minutes.
That’s it. Technically, he’s part of the Hall of Fame, technically he’s an accepted Champion. Technically, the title was his once, so it will always be his. Technically, he can’t lose it. He just loses being the present Champion.
He also, briefly, held the Kanto record for youngest ever Pokemon League champion. That was until Red, three months younger, caught up to him.
Really, Blue hadn’t even been surprised.

Blue loses the Championship, Red disappears up a mountain, and everything that happens afterwards.Series

Summary
“I can smell your stress stinking up my truck,” Theo murmurs, which Liam knows is his roundabout way of trying to tell Liam to relax. It’s a credit to how much progress he’s made with being emotional that he’s able to relay that message out loud. “Look, you don’t have to tell him this weekend if that’ll help you calm down. I’m not expecting you to make some big scene about us dating to everyone we know.”
Liam doesn’t need to listen for Theo’s heartbeat to know he’s telling the truth, but as much as he appreciates that— “Scott isn’t just someone we know,” he says, ducking down his head to stare first at his knees and then flick his eyes over in Theo’s direction in the driver’s seat, unable to lift his eyes any higher than where Theo’s pool ball keychain is swaying from the ring.

Summary
Harrow Nonagesimus approached the chair with the same enthusiasm of one stepping up to the executioner’s block. Just like those same damned siouls, she found herself running through the events of her life, trying to find the thread of ill fortune running through her past that had led to her current predicament. Others might have found themselves praying, begging like a child for the attention and forgiveness of a merciful God, but Harrow knew better. There was no God — and if there was, it certainly wasn’t merciful.
Because if there was a merciful God, Gideon wouldn’t have a giant fucking needle in her hand.

Summary
"How do you know Nonagesimus has gone somewhere dangerous?" asked Isaac. "Have you wired some kind of alert system?"
"It's, uh. It's on the schedule," said Gideon. "I just... forgot. Because of the bread."
Nobody was convinced by this, least of all Gideon.
"It's a Ninth House thing," Gideon went on, backing away with increasing desperation. This was a slightly more plausible explanation, if only because nobody wanted to look too closely at what fell under the awful skeletal-ribbed and rotting umbrella of Ninth House things. "Gotta go—!" And she was out the door, gone.
But it wasn't a Ninth House thing, except inasmuch as it was happening to the only two representatives of the noble and decrepit Ninth House on this quite literally godforsaken rock. Gideon knew Harrow had gone somewhere dangerous—knew that Harrow was back in the lab where they had only just completed a horrible trial—because she could see it, clear as day: an awful overlay on her vision of that terrible dangerous room and a pair of terrible dangerous hands drawing some kind of ward next to the plinth.
The hands were definitely Harrow's.
This was definitely a problem.
