    Summary

    "I do have a suggestion," John said, coming to take a seat beside her. She sat up and squared her shoulders. When John wanted to sit beside her, it usually meant the conversation coming next would leave her agitated and tired. "I think you need to produce an heir of your own."

    Kiriona stared. Seconds of silence passed by with only her wide eyes and John's impassive glance. Finally, she burst into raucous laughter, going so far as to slap her knee.

    or

    Gideon Nav's 57th escape attempt works, but she stumbles right into God. Divinity kind of sucks. At least John lets her pick her own wife.

    Harrowhark doesn't get a choice.

    Summary

    It's not every day you find out your childhood nemesis went to a convent and came back a - holy shit - fully fledged nun. Robes and all. And, because god doesn't hate you enough, she happened to hire the architectural preservation firm you work for to fix up the janky church you both grew up in. Hope this doesn’t awaken anything in you sexually.

    Sacrosanctity (n.) the declaration of physical inviolability of a temple, a sacred object, or a person. Something so holy, so sacred, that it becomes absolutely untouchable.

    Summary

    Harrow's finally found the perfect house. Sure, it's much too big and, okay, it's slowly falling apart bit by bit. But it's quiet and empty, and that's all she needs.

    Except her landlord failed to mention that the house isn't empty at all.

    And now she's stuck, for an entire year, sharing space with someone she never thought she'd see again. Her childhood nemesis and almost but never quite friend, Gideon Nav.
    The house is big enough. They won't even have to acknowledge each other's existence, if they so choose. But that doesn't seem to stop them from running into one another in unexpected hallways or long buried feelings from coming to light.

    Summary

    The train comes to a stop with a scream of wet steam, the beast glistening with rain like a racehorse in sweat that's evaporating with the heat of the overclocked engine, and she hears Hades' footfalls down the carriage, to the door, and he opens it to face her, and may all the gods damn this bastard with the audacity to start grinning. “Lover,” he croons, like it’s a ceremony and not a suicide (blurry though the line was for her), and he holds out a hand.

    She doesn't take it.

    ---

    Hades comes up at an ungodly hour to pick up his wife, and ends up lured into playing dominoes with her instead.

    Summary

    Perhaps their marriage wasn’t dead. Maybe just, just asleep. Maybe these past few weeks didn’t have to be the last breaths of a dying man, waiting for his eyes to close one last time.

    They could recover. Thirty-six years together was not for nothing. They had always figured things out.
