    Summary

    "There is no part of me that she touched, yet she sees every piece of me perfectly. It's who you are, not what Camilla looks like. The shape of your soul is different."

    He scoffed, without a trace of malice. "A hard science, I'm sure."

    "You Sixth and your goddamn measurable phenomena. Come here." She gestured for him to stand, growing impatient of the space between them.

    He did as he was told, tucking the bones back into the false bottom of the canister with care, and regarded her with a great amount of interest. While Camilla only watched for Pyrrha's movements, trained to seek instruction like any good cav, Palamedes unabashedly stared every chance he got. It was clear that the very nature of her excited him. Everything about her was studied like she were a necromantic theorem herself.

    The boy wanted her, and he did nothing to hide it. Pyrrha always did like giving the people what they wanted.

    ———

    Pyrrha and Palamedes talk bodies, gender, and dysphoria— both hers and his.

    Summary

    Harrowhark Nonagesimus is this close to graduating from high school early and escaping all of her dreadful, hormonal peers. Unfortunately, a rogue physical education requirement - and her own hatred for shorts - forces her to join the school's fencing team.

    Friends are a waste of time, in Harrowhark's opinion. The loud, muscular, extremely attractive saber fighter is determined to kill that opinion super dead.

     “The question, my lugubrious lady, remains: what in the crypt-keeping fuck is your deal?”

    Summary

    “Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—

    “It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”

    And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.

    So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.

    Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

    Summary

    “You just look like a real heartbreaker."

    Elsa turned to face her, fast enough that Maren could hear the movement. Her eyes were cold, hard ice. She licked her lips, stared at her with that intensity, the hawk-gaze that brought her goosebumps in delightful trepidation, a predator about to pounce and one could never know whether it was for play or for the kill. This was a woman who’d frozen the ocean over, a woman who’d tamed the elementals of myth with the ease Maren would tame a reindeer, a woman who was all the bedtime stories Maren’s grandparents told her in the flesh.

    Elsa looked at her, but said nothing."
