Summary
A brief chat between a gardener (losing to the petunias) and a nanny (on break, and therefore winning against the petunias) as they cheerfully toil away at stopping the world from ending. And then another, from one tutor to another, as time passes and the world ticks on.

Summary
Jon was not a stranger to death.
He was an orphan raised by his elderly grandmother, he’d been to more funerals than he had weddings.
Death… death was undiscerning. Objective. First you were alive, and then you were not.
Simple.
Humans were the ones who made it messy, with their mourning and their loud, heavy grief. Burials and ceremonies and calla lilies.Sometimes, Jon wished it was just a matter of putting a body in the dirt and being done with it.
The last funeral he had been to was his grandmother’s. She was seventy nine. She died peacefully, in her sleep. And she would have hated that.Jon glanced down to the child sleeping beside him. Willa Briar. His first cousin, once removed.
This was her mother’s funeral.
Jon adopts the daughter of his late cousin. This is complicated by the simple truth that he has no idea how to be a parent.

Summary
The books dig into his chair, and he leans his head back, eyes fluttering closed. When he breathes, it smells like the crisp air of the forest, and he thinks he should leave, or at the very least worry that this is not what he thinks, that maybe it’s the coffin, pushing back -
Instead he licks his lips and says: “Martin?”
There’s no answer, but the bookcase moves again, and for a few seconds he is utterly trapped, the desk digging into his stomach; it’s painful, it’s heavy, and he loses his breath - but these days, it’s as close as he gets to an embrace.

Summary
He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--
Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.

Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.
