    Summary

    "The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan, over the cacophony of the feast, and brought Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, given that you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"

    Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."

    "Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "Thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.

    Summary

    I squirmed, pinned between him and the counter. "It’s not – look, I don’t run to schedule, okay?" I said. "Don’t – I’m not easy."

    "You don’t say." Okay, that much sarcasm was uncalled for.

    "I mean it," I said doggedly. "I’m not one of those ‘insert coin, pull lever’ girls."

    Summary

    “Miss Gandalf,” Thorin says, tiredly, because this is the third crime scene he’s come to this month where Phryne Gandalf had beaten him to it by a solid ten minutes. “To what do we owe this pleasure.”

    Summary

    “Sect Leader Li! Your.. er… your wife is waiting for you!”

    Li Xiangyi almost drops the unconscious prisoner he carried on his shoulder. “My what?”

    Or: Li Xiangyi’s awful, horrible, no good, very bad day only goes downhill from there on. The Sigu Sect as a collective isn’t doing so well either. Di Feisheng, on the other hand, appears to be having a great time.

    Summary

    If Di Feisheng had known she could become the sort of person who preside meetings to argue about rice storage and gets around a table to sign pacts of non-agression with her eternal rival, she would have unambiguously told the three kings to fuck off when they came up with the idea to unionize the lawless scoundrels the martial world rejected instead of leaving any room for interpretation in her contemptuous silence.

    Or: the Jinyuan Alliance was a mistake, nasty women edition (complimentary).
