    Summary

    Ophelia Gonde has heard a lot about the prestigious boarding school she’s set to attend in the fall, but there’s only one rumor that catches her attention and keeps it: avoid Professor Thorn at all costs.

    What nobody knows - can’t know - is that she of all people need not be reminded of this.

    After all, Professor Thorn is her betrothed.

    Summary

    He’s tattered jeans and a ragged leather jacket, all worn-down denim and nicotine-stained fingers, callused by guitar strings and not-really-caring.

    And Chrissy, she’s…

    She’s perfume that makes his sweet tooth ache, he’s not sure what, exactly—vanilla, almond, cake batter?—but it’s thick and sugar-sweet and he wants to lick it off his fingers. Shimmery pink mouth like the sheen of cream soda. Soft, she’s soft—her hair, her smiles, the way she walks, soft but she stays on his mind all the time, soft and sticky like cotton candy, and he—

    Fuck. He’s kinda drunk, huh?

    (Eddie and Chrissy slip away from a house party, because that’s more fun than beer pong.)

    Summary

    He often felt detached from his own skin, and this was not unlike that - he saw his hands as they were. The length of his fingers, the slight bend in the middle finger of his right hand, more crooked than his left, from when Freya had crushed his hand in a door as a child and he had broken that finger and the ring finger as well, which had healed much better than the middle. The notches of his knuckles, the bones pressed tight against skin. His hands were very thin, not unlike the rest of him.

    Summary

    “Was it difficult for you,” she asked, and he suddenly became aware that she was approaching, closing the three point five metres of distance between them until their only separation was the ninety-one centimetres of his desktop. He fought the urge to lean back in his chair. She put a hand on one corner of the desk, just the tips of each finger, as if to help her balance. “When you got your claws?”

     

    Ophelia pays Thorn a visit, one evening, not long after learning about the Gift.

    Summary

    Ophelia was indeed not at all sure that she would be able to return - nor, if she did, what that return might look like, much less what state she would be in. But there was no harm in the promise she had made to Agatha, because the core of it was true: she had every intention to come back, and she would do everything in her power to ensure that she did.

    But she would not be coming back alone.
