    Summary

    One day, in the middle of the week, Miorine wakes up to a thought that feels right and wrong: we're going on a date today.

    That can't be right.

    OR: When Miorine made Suletta promise to stay forever, she didn't think it would mean this.

    Summary

    “Clean yourself up,” she commands.

    The girl— Suletta Mercury— dutifully does as told, blowing her nose very loudly. Miorine typically doesn’t care what others think of her, much less her classmates, but right this moment, she wishes she could fall through the floor. This girl is so noisy, so full of life. Being in her presence feels like the physical manifestation of nails on a chalkboard.

    Once she’s mopped up her tears, Suletta returns the pack of tissues, now only half-full, and Miorine places it back into her desk, not looking at her.

    “Now leave me alone.”

    Suletta’s tone is full of sadness when she replies, “Oh, Ms. Miorine. I could never do that.”

    Summary

    Nika learned the nature of machinery when she was only a child. Her earliest understanding had not come from textbooks or blueprints, but far more directly. Her first teacher was the tall, quiet girl. Her first lesson, the tensile stress tolerance of a human arm.

    Summary

    Recently, Ava had been watching Youtube videos on mindfulness in an effort to try to increase the percentage of her thoughts she was able to keep just in her head. That training was about to fail her spectacularly. “One of the nuns is kind of cute.”

    Mary’s fingers paused mid stitch. Ava’s fork paused halfway to her mouth as her brain caught up with what she’d just said.

    “Ava, what the fu—”

    *

    Or,

    Ava has to spend several weeks in a church archive. The person running the archive is a nun, and also hot. She is totally normal and respectful about this.

    Summary

    Reya folded her hands in front of her, “What are you missing, really? What from your world could be worth disrupting this tranquillity for?”

    And for the first time since arriving in this prison, Ava smiled.

    Because the question - the two questions, which proved she was disrupting Reya - provoked only one genuine thought.

    Bea.

    “Love.” Ava said softly; she could feel an ache in her cheeks, muscles stretching to make a smile she hadn’t in a long time.

    or,

    “Convince me that your world, and its disruptive love, is worth returning to and I shall let you go with the halo.” Reya announced, chin raised in challenge.

    Summary

    “So…” Ava starts, her voice soft and childish as always. Only it isn’t childish? Childlike, maybe. The happy tilt of the words makes the sentences always flow melodiously to Beatrice's ears.

    Beatrice had missed it.

    She doesn’t turn from the task she has, though, not even to witness Ava’s sly smile.

    “Yeah?”

    “There's only one bed.”

    She pauses unintentionally. She rises as she connects the last wire. “So there is.”

    "Ernie asked if we were back together," Lucy broaches, staring out into the ocean.

    Whistler takes a beat. "What did you tell him?"

    "That we weren't," Lucy replies, "which I think is the truth but felt like a lie."

    Summary

    Lucy knows things are moving too quickly; she just handed over everything that identifies her as Lucy Tara. But Whistler is right. They have a chance to get inside the Kāno camp and she can do it. She knows motorcycles - rebellion is many things and some of Lucy’s involved big engines. But she’s also good with people, she always has been. And even if she got off on the wrong foot with Mateo, there’s nothing saying that’s how it has to stay that way.

    “Lucy,” Tennant says, catching her attention again. “We don’t know how long this will take. It could be weeks. It could be months. This is a commitment and you need to take that into consideration before you agree to this.”

    Lucy takes a deep breath in. “I think I can do it.”

    Summary

    It’s been a year but Yang knows her, knows what her body means in the way it moves, knows every tilt of her mouth, every blink, every beat of her heart, every chamber of it, the way it bruises and bleeds and bumps against her chest. I’ve lived there, Yang thinks of telling her, please let me leave. But Blake is silent and doesn’t move.

    The truth is easy for Yang to see until it isn't. I love you, Blake says. It's the only reason I've ever done anything.

    There you go, Yang says, lying again.
