    Summary

    She watches as Lura studies her collection with intrigue, picking up each piece to examine its girth and length and texture.

    "You've been around," notes Lura.

    "I've had some time to grow my collection," Nahla reminds her. "Many of them were gifts from... very satisfied past lovers."

    "Do you always have to be this cocky?" Jett laughs.

    "Always."

    Summary

    She presses the tip of her boot against Nahla's forehead.

    "You're a cold, cold woman, Captain. In another life, I might keep you around, make this a regular thing. But my people? They won't respect me if I let you walk out of here."

    "I understand."

    "But if you want to make things right before you die, you can start here. Kiss my boots."

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR COME, LET'S AWAY

    "I'm sorry."

    "I don't need sorry," Dzolo replies. There's a faint sobbing noise, inaudible to any organic. SAM hears the tears roll down her face with her photonic senses, listens to the gentle crash of Dzolo's cries, until Dzolo gives a discreet wiping of the eye and turns back to her. "I need my best friend back."

    Summary

    Sex is one of many forms of combat; it is also the only form of combat that you continually lose at. You play your cards with the precision of an autopsy. You maneuver yourself underneath each body well. You make yourself into the autopsy. You make yourself fuckable and sweet and good, but never good enough to come out of it with anything besides a sticky, sad hollowness like a chasm in the stomach.

    You are learning things about prison.

    (Caleb Mir, sex, and pain.)

    Summary

    The utter trust inherent to the act occurs to Caleb’s mind, crashing into him like a derelict shuttle---she has given him her main control center, her entire essence beneath his fingertips, with the knowledge that he could do anything to her. She trusts that Caleb will keep her safe.

    He has never been trusted before---

    (SAM asks Caleb to adjust her programming again.)

    Summary

    "It's about... dating."

    "Oh, yeah? Interested in someone?"

    Who's lucky enough to catch your eye? he thinks to himself--and then realizes the implication, swallows it down the brainstem, and beats it out of his body. This cannot happen, so he won't let it start. SAM has a purity to her--she carries a sense of calm unbrokenness that Caleb would go to war to protect. He couldn't---he couldn't.

    But SAM rises with the sun, and when the moon falls, the light of her keeps Earth from freezing over. How couldn't he?
