    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.
