    Summary

    “Huddy,” he said. “Can I ask you for a very special birthday present?” 

    “Connie.” Connor’s lips were so pink, but the half-light out on the balcony darkened them; made them the colour they should’ve been, from all that smoking. God, Hudson wanted to kiss him so bad. “Please ask me for your very special birthday present. I will move heaven and earth. I will move the city of Beverly Hills and its entire population of purse dogs.” 

    “So committed.” Connor stroked at Hudson’s skin through the lace neckline of his cami. “I want you to make out with François. Just a little. As a treat, for me.”

    Summary

    So turned out that old Vito had had a goomar, an orientale woman no less. The Don had met her before the Great War when he’d been trying to sell extra virgin olive oil to the mom-and-pop eateries between Fifth and Sixth Ave in Koreatown. (Clemenza himself had nothing against a nice bowl of tteokbokki, looked like pasta, tasted nothing like it; sprinkle summathat scallion on top, now there was a meal.) Not only that, but they’d had a son (baptized, at least, sia lodato Gesù Cristo). And, what was more, the Don wanted him brought inside. Brought inside for what, exactly, he wouldn’t say: the Don was so tight-lipped it was amazing a cigar could even get in there. And Clemenza was to mentor the boy. Hudson, his name was. “Like the river?” Tessio had asked, bewildered; Clemenza had shrugged. Who the fuck knew. Good river, the Hudson. Had kept many of Clemenza’s bodies hidden over the years.

    Hudson Corleone's rise to capo dei capi, the most powerful crime boss in all of New York, as seen through Peter Clemenza's eyes.

    Summary

    “I wish Samuel were here. He’d know what to do. Of course, if he were here…” She didn’t have to complete the sentiment. Were the King alive, they would not be in this position at all. “Well then, Councillor Vincent. Any last foxholes for me to dive into?”

    “Your Majesty.” Vincent bowed. “All the court scholars have been engaged upon the legal question raised by Duke L’Avocat for several months now. There is no satisfactory answer. His challenge is true. Elven rites of coronation will not hold for any who have incurred a permanent deformity.” His gaze went to the smaller throne on the Queen’s left, where the Crown Prince sat with his head bowed and an owl on his shoulder. The owl stared with icy-blue eyes at Vincent, hard and unblinking.

    The Queen murmured, almost to herself, “Only beauty, only one kind of beauty. Above all else, always. Call the elves what you want, but you can’t call them inconsistent.”

    Summary

    Shane watched Ilya tilt his head back and drop some peanuts into his mouth. He gave them all of two chews before swallowing. The totally indigestible peanuts travelled down the line of his beautiful speckled throat. The man was begging for chronic reflux.

    Summary

    Together, they strip the corpses of fallen soldiers like scavengers, sending prayers of forgiveness to their respective Gods, and take what they can carry on two horses. Eilat is several weeks of hard riding away, and from there Yusuf is insistent they take a merchant ship to Aden. Nicolo soon loses all feeling in his behind and thighs. Yusuf continues to alight from his horse as if having awoken from a pleasant nap. “It’s all about rhythm,” he tells Nicolo, moving his hips to demonstrate. Nicolo contemplates killing him, for whatever good that will do.

    --
    Yusuf asks Nicolo to run away with him; Nicolo agrees, with reservations. Serious reservations. If only he could remember what those were.

    Summary

    “And this is Svetlana! You guys have a fun hockey connection. She’s BFFs with—ooh. What’s his name again, babe?”

    “Ilya Rozanov,” says Svetlana. Feeling virtuous about it, she offers her hand first. “Don’t tell him I said you have the best hands in the league.”

    Shane’s face is rigid. “Um. I won’t?”

    “Thank you,” she says gravely. “You have saved a life.” Rose laughs, stroking Shane’s arm, and he suddenly remembers Svetlana’s hand is hanging. He takes it limply and disposes of it quick. His eyes look a little wild.

    Summary

    Hudson handed the phone back. He was smiling. “Oh, my.”

    “Insane, right? The man’s a cipher.” Connor put the phone, which was psychically shrieking at him, face-down on the rock. He still felt an intense sense of indignation and embarrassment when he thought back to his attempted seduction of Jacob in the trailer, though he was, as licensed hypnotherapist Colin Tipping advised in his best-selling book, trying to forgive himself.

    “I mean.” Hudson caught his wrist. His hand started travelling up Connor’s forearm, fingers pinching and tugging at the arm-hairs. “Is it really so mysterious?”

    Summary

    “Ooh, are we talking about Jacob’s control issues?” Connor popped up suddenly at Jacob’s shoulder.

    Hudson appeared at Jacob’s other shoulder. “It’s your most Shane-like quality.” They were like needy little kittens, the way they ran off to play but always came back mewing for affection.

    Jacob rolled his eyes. “At least I have a Shane-like quality. That makes one of us.” He gave Hudson’s neck a slow squeeze, enjoying how the muscles shifted under his hand; how Hudson dropped his head a fraction, to let him do it; and how Connor looked at them while Jacob did it, chin tipped up, his eyes alight.

    Summary

    “Wait a minute. You’re taking credit for my transition?”

    The Colonel shrugged. “I think the record will reflect that I introduced you to the superior aspects of the female species long before any New York transsexual got their glitter all over you.”

    “You’re mad,” she said, awed.

    Summary

    Oh ho, Eric thinks to himself, and then, aloud, because it’s just too delicious, and wouldn’t Rolin be ashamed, and a little pissed: “Oh ho!” He feels zapped alive: young, powerful, god-like.

    Jacob starts giggling immediately. “Did you just say ‘oh ho’?”

    “Or maybe aspen. What do you think, Eric?”

    “Not a damn clue,” says Eric, with a broad grin.

    “You look very satisfied. He looks very satisfied, doesn’t he?” Jacob smiles at Sam over his hitched shoulder.

    “Hm,” says Sam. “I think we play it safe, and go with red maple.”

    Yeah, Eric is certain: Jacob and Sam aren’t fucking. But they’d like to be.

    Summary

    It was after the officer’s meeting on Erebus when the creatures arrived. They dropped to the ground from a white gash somewhere near the bookcase. It was as if they'd taken a knife to the tent-canvas of the world and simply walked through.

    Summary

    James got to his feet carefully. He flexed his fingers and his toes. Pulled on his boots, which were conveniently lying there. He was dead, but he felt much better. “And you are…”

    I AM DEATH, said Death.

    “I see.” Should have been obvious.

    Summary

    Cadbury could be ten million dollars in yearly billings, but Cadbury wasn’t Hershey’s, and they weren’t American-made, and goddammit, hadn’t they paid attention to Reagan’s election campaign at all? Not American-made, in this political climate? These days you could barely convince people Vermont was in America.

    There was a surprised silence. Edgar cocked his head to the side, perplexed, like he’d heard an odd noise and was straining to hear it repeated, just to be sure.

    Summary

    “In your first month of college, have you slept through a single 8AM class? Have you eaten at an establishment outside of a 100 metre radius from your campus accommodation? Have you got drunk, or laid, or high?” The words came out emotionlessly, like the unvarying, unrelenting fire of a machine gun. Ryo hadn’t even taken his eyes off the road.

    Darkly, Akira resolved to take a sledgehammer to his OnePlus and buy a Nokia, one of the neolithic boxes with Snake pre-installed. Let Ryo try his egregious violations of privacy with that.

    “You see, don’t you?” he continued, the absolute tyrant. “It behooves me to take you to a rave.”

    Summary

    Te Ka stands there, flaming hair sending spirals of ash into the sky even as she remains stock-still. The world has fallen silent. Her fiery eyes widen. Then, she spasms with rage and screams, flinging herself to ocean floor and coming for Moana, coming for her on all fours like a creature possessed.

    Moana walks towards her, singing.

    I have crossed the horizon to find you--”

    Te Ka is coming for Moana; but she doesn’t know that Moana is coming for Te Ka, too.
