    Summary

    “Say,” Sanji says to Nami, leaning backwards against the wood top while watching the frankly fascinating scene playing out at the other end of the bar, “is Zoro…being flirted with?”

    “Yeah,” she says as if it isn’t anything new.

     

    In which Sanji stumbles into some realizations and then proceeds to enact a multi-step plan of subtle romance. Meanwhile, Zoro suspects the waiter is out to kill him.

    Summary

    Sam Vimes’ body might be dead, but a certain quasi-demonic spirit of vengeance is determined not to let him rest in peace. 

    Can he find his killer, and avoid becoming his own worst nightmare in the process…?


    For the Whumptober prompts 'no grave can hold my body down' and 'came back wrong'.

    Please read the authors note for more info on possible triggers.

    Spoilers for books through to Thud! at least, and then diverges somewhere after that. I've also taken some liberties with the Summoning Dark, for the sake of the plot.

    Summary

    Marius traces his jaw, trails him thumb over his lower lip. “Tell me I thaw you, Amadeo,” he says. “Let me believe it.”

    Below the surface of the ice there is an angry and roiling sea, a dark and swirling thing. Amadeo wonders if Marius has forgotten it, if he thinks it had been a cold creature which had held an axe at his door.

    “You thaw me, sir,” Amadeo says, and he believes it himself—but he keeps his voice passionless, obedient, and that too is a sort of defiance.

    Marius laughs at him, Marius pinches his cheek.“My own Galatea, hewn of ice,” he says, “and how beautiful you are.”

    Amadeo thinks of the bright-eyed boys running barefoot through the house below, thinks of the statues and the paintings in the house, of the richly planted gardens, the stuffed beasts. He imagines Marius wrapping beautiful black rope about his wrists and hoisting him up, crucifying him on the wall next to the paintings. Thinks of the fetching contrast of the ropes against his skin, their fine glimmer. He would use silk, so dark in color that Amadeo’s blood would not show.

    “And how glad I am,” he says, “how glad I am to be beautiful.”

    Marius and Amadeo escape the fire together.

    Summary

    Polly's comfortable back at The Duchess, with her well-worn routines and her well-worn life, and she's . . . absolutely not pining for her best friend, Mal, who forgot – hah! – to say goodbye before vanishing after the last peace negotiations. For the second time. Not that she's counting.

    But when Commander Vimes personally asks her to come to Ankh Morpork and learn the ways of the City Watch, for the good of Borogrovia, she feels she can't say no. She's forgotten Mal, she absolutely has. But then a mysterious someone starts sending her coffee. And that's only the beginning . . .
