Summary
After leaving Moiraine behind at the Eye of the World, Rand wanders southward, until he runs across the city of Cairhien, and discovers someone there he hadn't expected to see ever again.
Rand studied the man in disbelief.
His dark hair was longer now, enough so that he needed to reach up every now and then to push it back as he flirted with the stall vendor. His beard was shorter, or not so much shorter but a different shape — the sides were shaved off, that was the difference. His clothes were still as messy and disheveled as ever but… finer fabrics, more vibrant shades, cut more tightly against the silhouette of his body.
He finished paying for his food — a meat pie, it looked to be — and, after one last smile to the vendor, he started walking away.
As if drawn by a tether, Rand followed.

Summary
It reminds her of that winter on the road, after Silver Lake, when they were both so beaten down that they could barely hunt or walk or scavenge for weeks. They’d sat holed up in that old gas station and ate cold beans and frozen berries and once or twice, some squirrels, some little rabbits. The meat was always stringy and tough; Ellie remembers the way it’d felt going down, greasy and slick, the way it pooled like rancid oil in her stomach. Some nights she’d have to sit propped up all night against Joel’s shoulder and breathe with her mouth open to keep from puking. She never, not once since they’d come back to Jackson, thought that she’d ever feel like that here.
*
After the horde settles in around Jackson, the town faces dire consequences as their food supply starts to run out.

Summary
Javier turns to look up at Murphy. They’ve never been stupid enough to get jealous of each other, or to think that whatever they had in Colombia was “exclusive” or some shit like that, and Javier knows he’s got the best poker face around, knows it—but goddamn if he can’t keep his voice from going just a little high when he says, “You didn’t—”
A shit-eating grin spreads across Murphy’s face. And with a clear, sharp rush of understanding, that’s when Javier knows he’s well and truly fucked up.

Summary
“Oh, it's just a little something I like to call the music of my people,” Steve says. He’s wanted to do this ever since he watched Javi dancing at the bar the other night, and so far, so good. He’d had time to do just about everything except chug copious amounts of alcohol to calm his singing nerves.
He takes Javi’s beers and stashes the case in the fridge—there’s not much competition for the space, anyway. Javi is still staring at the stereo like it’s cursed. “Your people are my people too, you know,” he mutters. “In theory.”

Summary
John had traded the gun; he'd have traded away more, and he was still feeling the cold dread of the moment when the demon had cocked its head like a pistol and said, "You know, I'm feeling generous today," because if it hadn't taken more, that was only because it figured what was in store was going to be worse.

Summary
It seems fucking stupid now—worse: naive—but Dean honest-to-God thought that everything would stop after he went to Hell. A big cosmic reset button. Like his death would settle the universe's score and Sam could make himself some kind of real life, one that didn't involve hitching his fate to Dean's inevitable demise.

"How did you get them?" Vane asks, as Thomas drops the keys into his open palm. Behind him, he can see the distant glow of firelight, small but spreading, and he thinks he already knows the answer.
Thomas smiles. "Kerosine."
His hair falls into his eyes, white blonde from the Savannah sunlight, and for a moment he sees the ghost of Eleanor Guthrie at eighteen years old, baring her teeth in a grin.
OR: There is no Woodes Rogers to save Eleanor Guthrie's life. There are no men to repair the fort. Charles Vane comes up with a new way to recruit workers to Nassau.

Summary
Silver shakes his head, resigned. “It means peace. These evenings with you have brought me a greater peace than I thought possible. To be able to retire here with you, to listen to you read, to share in your quiet, to tend you even when you’ve healed…it’s all I want.”
Flint steps toward him before Silver can reply.
“All you want,” Flint repeats, his voice nearly broken. “Are you certain?”

Summary
Canon compliant. The war begins. Jace leaves with Valentine, playing the part of the loyal soldier even as he feeds the Clave intel on the Circle’s every move. The war goes on, and Alec watches his parabatai fall apart.
---
It’s been two weeks since Jace had left with Valentine, passing through the portal and onto his father’s ship. His base of operations, a vessel of war that moves from port to port, impossible to track through supernatural means because it’s over the water. His old phone is gone; Valentine had thrown it overboard as soon as they’d arrived, and Jace is too cautious to try to contact anyone from the one he’s been provided.His side is tender, smarting. Training had been rough this morning.
“You look like hell.”
