Summary
Don heaves a big, shaky sigh, reaches up and scrubs his hands across his face, smudging his tears. He looks so awfully young for a moment, and Bobby wants to take it all back, wants to spare Don from himself, wants to go back in time and quit crewing before he ever sat across Don in a racing shell. Before he ruined Don.
“I think I’ve been waiting for you to say that for the past nine years,” he says with a little laugh, “and you finally say it when it doesn’t change anything.”The boys reunite in 1945. Bobby goes home with Don.

Summary
“You will be our eyes and hands in the timeline of the prophecy. You will do what we ask of you, you will wield this hammer as we command. You will handle the anomalies and keep problematic strands in line. You will ensure the correct progression of events and you will do so at any cost, even your own life. You are for us what that hammer is for you. Our weapon. A role you are not unfamiliar with.”
Angus has a chat with the Starlords after the events of Maleficus Geminus.

Summary
“Do you want to try to sleep?” he asks, one half of him hoping Roger says yes – he needs it, judging by the dark circles under his exhaustion-dull eyes – and the other, selfish half hoping he says no, that he’ll understand the meaning behind the question and ask Chuck to stay and talk with him, or read to him, or keep him entertained in any fashion. Chuck would do anything to have him laugh again. Or just smile. He’d settle for a smile.
“Not really. Doubt I’d manage it if I tried, either.” There’s a tinge of annoyance in Roger’s tone. Chuck knows it’s not directed at him – it must be awful for Roger to lie about in a mousehole of a cabin for days on end, retching up what little food or drink he can get down, and missing out on all the fun everyone else is having during their first transatlantic voyage.Roger spends the first couple days on board the SS Manhattan terribly seasick. Chuck attempts to take care of him, and things only get more complicated from there.

Summary
“I died,” Zargothrax said, sounding surprised to his own ears. He did, he remembered it clearly: that pesky McFife kid and the Lords-damn Hootsman, clear as day. He remembered the final blow. He actually remembered Ralathor himself, their eyes locking for a moment before it all went black. Before he woke up here.
“Very astute,” said the voice of Ralathor from somewhere. Zargothrax couldn’t see him. “I need to check your vitals, and then you can get up once your limbs have warmed through enough to move.”Deep beneath Dundee, a clone wakes from his frozen slumber.

Summary
In the Agallamh na Seanórach, long after the deaths of Fionn Mac Cumhail and many of the other warriors, Caílte Mac Rónáin and Fionn’s son Oisín recite the Deeds of Fionn to an interested St Patrick. St Patrick asks them where their best hunting has been, and Oisín answers, on the Isle of Arran, at Lammas. High above the sea its summit; dear its green growth, rare its bogland; blue island of glens, of horses, of peaked mountains, oaks and armies...
It was there that he was happiest, Paddy says, and there he returns.

“You died.” Paddy saw his body, how the sand enveloped his lifeless face like a vestal shroud. The image has haunted him for months.
“Aye,” says Eoin, “something like that.”

I lay waiting, reads the message, between turf-face and demesne wall, between heathery levels and glass-toothed stone
So, Eoin types back, you’re outside.

Paddy, Eoin and Fraser climb a mountain. Eoin is carrying the weight of his unprocessed attraction to his best friend along with the aftermath of a dramatic accident; Paddy is carrying the sort of rucksack that would topple most people; Fraser is carrying years of frustration towards the other two. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Summary
March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.
Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.
