Summary
What Max doesn't realize is that when she abandons a timeline, she also abandons a version of herself within it. A version of herself with different memories and a different life— a version of herself with no powers. A version of herself that, once possessed, is never the same.
A version of herself that must deal with the consequences of the choices she has made.

Summary
What Laudna wants: a little cottage somewhere, a flower garden. She wants to try keeping chickens, because she thinks it would be wonderful to have fresh eggs and it would be fun to break their necks. She wants Imogen there; she wants Imogen’s boots by the door, Imogen’s loose hairs trod into all the carpets. She wants carpets. She doesn’t want Imogen’s feet to get cold.
But this isn’t that world. Instead they are here, and Imogen is General Temult, and the gods are picked-clean bones, and the only person Laudna loves is on this side of the door, and everyone else is outside.

Summary
“Do you still wish for a husband?” Jane asked as the pair of women browsed records. In 2001, this music shop would close its doors permanently, but at this moment in 1981 it is so lively Jane thinks it could outlive any of its customers.
“Why would I?” Elizabeth returned. “Any reason I had for a husband no longer exists. For money, I have you. For societal standing, I have no need. For company, I have you."
“There are other reasons to take on a husband.”

The story of how two regency-era idiots assassinated Ronald Reagan and fell in love.

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

Laudna doubts her place in the group, and Imogen's life. Naturally, as with necromancy wizards, old habits die hard, and running away before being chased out is better in the end. Isn't it?

Summary
Essek goes home, and there is no one waiting at his door. This should be some manner of relief. But his towers haven't felt like a safe haven for a long time now, long before errant scourgers appeared to harass him with strange questions. He misses the immediacy of that threat, prefers it over the slow and indulgent terror of whatever punishment is coming for him, someday soon.
He tells himself that he misses only that, the simplicity of being unsafe in the company of predators, and that he does not miss the company itself.
(In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.)

Summary
Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.
The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'
And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.
She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.
Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"
