Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
Sometime in the fourth century of the second myriad of the Resurrector—because, really, who kept count anymore? She could barely remember which decade they were in. The third, maybe.
(Harrow, who kept track of these things, would know that they were in the fifth decade. She would despair of her negligence: Really, Tridentarius, you have half a decent brain and you can’t be bothered to look at a calendar? Ianthe would reply that she needed her brilliant mind for grander, better things; Harry could be the menial timekeeper if she so wished. Harrow would say: It’s the year four hundred fifty-seven. And so it was.)
Thusly: in the year four hundred fifty-seven of the second myriad of the Kindly Prince—that that King of Kings, the Lord of the River, the Prince of Death!—the Eight Saint surfaced back into her body with a jolt.

Summary
“No,” Caitlyn whispers, shoulders slipping. Oh, she’s not strong enough for this. “No, no- you- why you? Why you?”
She still smells the way she did two years ago— standing at their doorstep, packing her bags, saying we shouldn’t have done this. I shouldn’t have done this.
“Why me,” Vi repeats. “Isn’t that the fucking question.”
or: they're exes, they're still in love, and they're pretty sure fate just fucking hates them

Summary
She never could have satisfied you, though, Harrow. She was a simple creature. You were to her like a pearl before a swine, precious beyond her comprehension. Be thankful this way opened you to me, and that when you are ready to ascend to my side, the galaxy will fall at our feet.
Eight were called to Canaan House. Two survived. They have done something terrible and sacred. They have become something terrible and sacred. They are just going to have to deal with it.
Remix/mash-up of Magichorse's excellent Harrow/Ianthe (I'm still holding out for 'Harrianthe') works, because they were kind enough to indulge me.

Summary
“Are you bumping uglies with Tridentarius?” Gideon’s angry tone escalated to despair, red eyebrows lowering. “The nasty Tridentatius?”
“That’s none of your business.” Harrow could just be honest and avoid the awkward conversation, but she had a certain pleasure in torturing Gideon.
Just a bit.OR
Ianthe has a crush, Harrow has a headache, and Gideon is having none of that.

Summary
Gideon Nav lives in an small city apartment with three med students. Aside from regular altercations with her nemesis, college life is going just peachy. That is until an unknown virus begins breaking out along the coast with symptoms akin to a fucked up human version of rabies, except instead of paralysis and death, its victims wander the streets aimlessly in search of throats to rip out. Finally, Gideon has something worse than ex-girlfriends and final exams to worry about: the zombie apocalypse.

Summary
Once upon a time, many, many years ago, Harrowhark's great-great-grandmother, who had herself lived an unnaturally long life, told her that their family was descended from that one wicked snake that haunted the Garden of Eden, that the family Nonigesimus were more serpent than man. At the time, Harrow had thought she was joking, just a senile old woman weaving mindless tales.
She knows better now.

Summary
“There’s something you need to know,” Harrow said to John and Mercymorn. She locked eyes with Gideon, holding her gaze firm.
White-ringed eyes flicked between them, and a frown flickered on John’s face. “Alright.”“Well, it’s interesting that you’ve chosen to tell me about the visa application now,” Harrowhark said, turning to John and Mercymorn, “when Gideon only proposed last weekend.”
John blinked. He looked between them. “Excuse me?”
“I’m getting married,” Harrowhark said.
“To who?” John asked.
“To my assistant,” said Harrow, ignoring the choking, strangled noise of surprise Gideon made from the door. “To Gideon Nav. We’re engaged.” She paused, then stood. “Aren’t we, Griddle?”
“No,” Gideon said, because she was the worst. “What the fuck?”
Or: Harrowhark Nonagesimus is the youngest editor ever to run the Ninth House publishing company. But when Harrow violates the terms of her work visa, her only way to retain her job is to marry a US citizen— and who better than her assistant, Gideon Nav?

Summary
“Nah, you way over-tipped last night. This one’s on the house.”
Lena’s shoulders slump in mock exasperation. “Kara, don’t start with me.”
“I am absolutely starting with you.”
What a smug little shit, Lena thinks. But God is she cute. “You really don’t want to play this game.”
"Yeah? Maybe I do.”
It’s said so softly, so gently, and if this was one of Siobhan’s movies, they wouldn’t be talking about the money or drinks at all, they’d be talking about something clenching around Lena’s chest, something stifling, a loneliness that paralyzes her bones.
“Don’t blame me when you lose,” Lena says with a gentle upturn of her mouth, her voice low and crackling, leaving a fifty-dollar bill on the bartop before she turns away.

Summary
Root remembers being seven-years-old and combing the Goodwill for sundresses and skirts that flared out when she twirled and white knee socks. She’d seen a film at school, she doesn't remember which one, but it had felt like solving the final equation in the high school math textbook when she connected the clothes and the mannerisms of the little girls on screen to the easy way they seemed to glide through life, charmed and happy and safe.

Maybe you were wrong. Maybe you were wrong about everything.
Little Sam. Always too smart for your own good.
Too much of everything bad, and never enough of anything good for anyone to really understand you. To love you.
It was okay.
