Summary
Her final movie had been made a few years after the Spanish flu, before he had even been born. What had she done since then? The memories slipped away from her, pale and blurry like cirrostratus. All your life I spent waiting for you, she thought, on her knees in that warming garden soil. I sat in this place and waited for you, and neither you nor I knew it. She wanted him to know misery; she wanted him to know even a sliver of what she had felt for twenty-five years. And then she thought about him dying, and felt her blood course hot beneath the full snow moon.
How else is she supposed to keep him here?

Summary
But beneath the pity, there was also a strange sense of relief. Relief that he wasn't invincible, that even he could be brought low. And then, surprisingly, a thread of concern began to weave its way through the tangled emotions.
This was genuine pain, not a performance, not a power play.
It was real, and it was hers to witness.

Summary
Eddie’s never seen Buck this way, chained up by a body that won’t do as he says. He’s still caressing his fingers through Buck’s hair and across his scalp; feels dampness along the surface of his forehead, takes in the flush of his cheeks and nose, the soft surrender of his slightly open mouth. There’s no real danger present, and Buck will feel fine in a few hours, but right now--right now, he is beautiful and asthenic, and Eddie can’t help but feel privileged.
(You need to settle down a little. or: Eddie poisons Buck, and other acts of radical devotion.)

Summary
As much as he loathes the idea of stepping on his own pride, Ed had already chalked this night up to a humiliating loss anyway. He’s all but a glorified driver in the eyes of Ms Mooney’s aristocratic guests; if he wins this match, those eyes will be upon them. Too many eyes for what he now has in mind.

Summary
The countdown ends and 1956 begins, but Oswald forces himself to stay outside as the bitter winter air gnaws on his bad leg. Minutes pass; he lights another cigarette, and his monocle starts to ice over. He sighs as he adjusts the eyeglass before it freezes to his face. Sentimentality has its price. He had thought he knew that by now.

Summary
The first time she had done it it had been like something out of a dream, some out of body experience where she could see herself going through the motions but it wasn’t her controlling them. It had been done out of a quiet rage and pain that could not be expressed in any other way.
No one suspected a thing. Alfred was a sickly man, therefore any bouts of sickness were not seen as unusual and not something to be looked deeply into.

Summary
He worms his way closer to Roman like a decomposing man, a fatigued hand dragging to where his neck meets his jaw. The backs of his knuckles stroke maybe-fond across skin, something too close to a caress if he was capable of being sentimental.
“Guess I’m lucky,” he mumbles. “I have my Roman to take care of me.”
(Roman poisons Mencken. Once, twice.)

Summary
She's lost count of how many times she has done it. She was afraid at first of doing it too many times in a row but she had come up with a schedule for Petyr to recover just enough so it was safe to do it again.
She initially lied to the maids; perhaps it's only a symptom of sadness for Lysa, they only had so much time together before the horror.
He's simply so fatigued, she told the cook.
She suggested to Gretchel that he could have acquired a cold that won't go away.
He has overworked himself, and his fragile nature has taken our Lord Protector away, she lamented to Ser Lothor.
Don't worry, Maester; Robert requires your help and attention more than Lord Petyr.
She became an expert liar. There were still liars everywhere but she was getting better herself.

Summary
Kylo Ren is the head of the Costume Department for the Star Alliance Opera. Rey is his beleaguered assistant. It’s hell. She’s slowly crumbling under endless hours of work and impossible standards. Being a broke post-grad, their most recent argument is fought over the condition of Rey’s personal wardrobe and her inability to find anything appropriate for the Opening Night Gala this season. Kylo insists he’s handled the problem by making her dress himself, but has he? It just seems like he's making Rey stay late after work out of spite, for hours of fittings, alone with him.
