    Summary

    Nott and Caleb – no, Veth and Bren, apparently, good gods – are the only ones who remain still, watching each other. After a moment, Nott’s lip twitches into a half-smile. It’s not amusement, there; it’s recognition.

    In a moment of complete hysteria, Fjord is reminded of nothing so much as the very day they all met, of watching the pair of them con Jester into buying that ‘magic’ clay bowl of theirs. One hell of a trick, he thinks through the numbness of his own shock.

    Summary

    “This could kill us,” he says.
    Essek’s hold on his hand tightens. Eadwulf presses his forehead against Caleb’s right temple and closes his eyes like he is reminding himself that they’re both real. Astrid laughs, a low, wounded sound.
    “Then it kills us,” she says.

     

    The first five years after Trent, they rip the world apart and sew it back together again with crooked, bloody stitches.

    Summary

    "Caleb sits on the beach, toes flexing in the sand, with Veth’s comforting weight pressed to his side, and can not relax."

    Summary

    "So you think it's worth it?" Beau asks after too many hours to count, her voice cool. “Training Volstrucker? Children?”

    Out of the corner of her eye Astrid sees both Caleb and Eadwulf’s backs straighten, a reflex left from a world they no longer have to live in, although neither of them intervene. All three of them know it has been a long time since she's let anyone else fight her battles.

    Her response is eerily calm even to her own ears, but brittle. "It has to be."

     

    or, astrid's attempt at letting beau document pieces of her story
