Summary
"Over the years, a draw had established itself. She would choose the farthest seat from me at dinner, and I would take care to keep my gloves on whenever she acted as my wife, in any room we were in she would linger by the doorframe and I at its center. We held each other when injured or tragedy-stricken, but for durations that were counted in seconds, not minutes or hours."

Summary
In a lot of ways, Laios was like a dog.
One of those massive dogs that almost made you think warg, except they're big slobbery messes that want to be lapdogs, not violent killing machines. And the thing about dogs is that they have teeth, muscle, they often want to sit on you despite being twice your size, and they do this thing called resource guarding.
Chilchuck is Laios's picklock, and a resource worth guarding.

Summary
Ten thousand years ago, Saint Euphrati shot a pict that would be hidden away for ages, its existence obfuscated almost entirely, and made into myth. It is the subject of much debate within His Holy Ordos and the Adeptus Ministorum, largely considered heretical nonsense, made up by enemies of the Imperial Creed. I have acquired this pict plate, as well as the writings that accompanied it, despite a breathtakingly high cost. I am a radical, some say a heretic... but I don't care. I am Gregor Eisenhorn, and I WILL have truth.

Summary
They find the journals.
It shouldn't surprise him; Verso knows that expeditioners are trained to locate past years' journals and learn from them. Fuck, that's the whole reason Verso wrote the damn thing in the first place, even if he hadn't known how important the journals would become. Julie must've done the same, but—
The thought of seeing her journal makes him sick to his stomach.

Summary
"How about a bubble bath?"
Both of them turn to stare at Dad. His arm around her waist pulls her closer, almost into his lap.
"Baths always help. You can soak in the warm water and I'll wash your hair for you."
"…I've never had a bubble bath before."
A series of emotions flickers across both Dad's face and Chris's face before Dad smiles, nudging her. "Then we definitely need to remedy that. C'mon, sweetie, let's get you a bubble bath."
***
Rose has a nightmare. Ethan loves his daughter very, very much.

Summary
“And shouldn’t Maelle have her brother back? After bringing back the rest of the world?”
“How would that make her different from…” Lune pinches her lips shut. Looks up at the ceiling, breathes. “It’s what Verso wanted. And he didn’t, he wasn’t–”
Sciel pushes herself up. “There were good moments. He was happy with us, a part of the expedition. If he could make his choice again–”
“No.” Something sneaks into Lune’s voice there, past the righteous anger. A choke, almost. “He wasn’t.”
“Okay,” Maelle says, tonelessly. She hasn’t moved from her stance, picture perfect. Back to an audience, angled away. Like a pianist. “Not today then.”
~
Lumière lives. Verso dies. And every day, Maelle must decide to make it so.

Summary
It’s her own chroma reaching out to her, sweet and cool, scented with smoke and sweat. Aline lifts her head. Verso stares back—her beautiful boy, caked in blood, white petals fluttering around his mangled form. He smiles. All the clumsy stitching across her heart—her desperate attempts to self-soothe, to heal, to pull herself back together—tear at the seams.
“Do you recognize me?” Verso whispers. The weight of more than a century hangs off his shoulders. It does nothing to touch the childish longing in his pale eyes, or the feverish, desperate way he clutches at her.
“Always." Aline cups his cheek. She strokes her thumb over the scar marring his face, a lone imperfection worn so proudly. “Verso.”
(Verso leaps free of the painting. After decades apart, he and Aline share a final conversation).

Summary
The Continent was a place of death and mourning just as much as it was a fantastical land of fairytales. Each arc and line would be perfect, a harmony of patterns and pictos and charms for luck and protection and whatever else she could weave in to give them even a second longer to live.
She owed them that much, at least.Series
