Summary
There’s a new mayor in office and an old girlfriend back in town, and Nick knows better than to trust either of them. They’re probably unconnected with the mole that’s turned up dead in the Natural History Museum, at least, even if nobody knows who’d want to kill the poor guy. Of course, Judy has to be at the center of everything -- which means that Nick does, too, whatever happens. And then, one morning early into all of this business, Nick wakes up with Judy in his arms, on the wrong side of his life.
It starts when a bathtub crashes through Judy’s ceiling.

Summary
"No hope in the air, / No hope in the water, / Not even for me, / Your last serving daughter." - Laura Marling, 'Hope in the Air.'
Gwen brings to mind Quellon’s doomed reforms and the stares and gossip that followed him, once the most renowned and famed of all Ironborn, at the end of his life. How the mighty have fallen. Balon will be glad to be rid of her; once she’s married, she’s no longer his responsibility, even if she’s widowed. He doesn’t want to have to so much look at her again, not anymore than he did after the Rebellion, when she did nothing but weep and cling to his increasingly unhinged wife.
…The greenlanders were formed from clay and sand and mud, and once you dunk them in water, they crumble and drown. The Ironborn were forged from stone and steel; their God loves them so that He made them unbreakable, undaunted, undefeated. Except when they are defeated. And then He loves them a little less.
(In which Quellon's final child by his last wife, a stillborn daughter, survives.)

Summary
Rhaenyra watches her infant cousin as she’s unloaded from the wheelhouse along with her wet nurse and thinks what an awful lot of trouble she is for something so small.
From her name – Daenerys, after the daughter of Jaehaerys and Alysanne who died – to the dragon egg her father stole for her. Ser Otto nearly had a conniption when he heard. To think of it; the baseborn get of a Lysene dancing girl, named for a princess and cradled with a prince’s egg.
A dead princess and a dead prince, Uncle Daemon had japed on Dragonstone’s causeway. Neither of them will mind.
(Or, Daemon and Mysaria's bastard child survives.)

Summary
There's often a state of mind Maka slips into while fighting. Keeping her head on straight is a necessity, even if she still follows her impulses. It's years of experience that lend itself to her quick reaction time and split-second decision making, and when that's combined with a clear mind focused on a single goal, there's nothing that can make her give up the hunt. Not even Soul sometimes if she's so passionate about it.
Their fingers intertwine and it's that same feeling, brief but extreme, a clear mind and a clear soul even in the face of danger. Maybe that's why it happens, why the world suddenly seems infinitely strange even though she can still see it.
"Woah," Soul breathes out, before sloppily defending himself from the monster, keratin against metal.
He's not used to fighting with something other than his own hands and blades. He's never wielded a scythe before.
Or, as part of a witch's experiment, Maka and Soul's abilities get swapped and they have to figure out how to adapt. Or, Maka and Soul's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week in which they learn a lot about each other.Bookmarked by WhyAmIStillAwake101
