Summary
Verna breathed out. She could deal with some prophetic dreams, or with godly disappointment, or whatever... but she remembered that desolate, hopeless wailing, stretching long beyond the capacity of any living throat.
"Learned," she said. "Why me?"
He spread his hands. "Sera dy Marray, I'm not trying to make light of your burden. But why not you?"

Summary
They take their respective meds, and they make dinners, and they fuck like old men, because they are. Nights, they sit out on the back porch they built together and they listen to crickets sing in the creeping darkness as the sun goes down. It’s not like they have anything better to do, not really; neither of them like to travel too far and neither of them want to move to fuckin’ Florida or something so they live a quiet, contained little life and Marty continually feels a little surprised how happy it makes him.
Or: Rust and Marty and life after almost-death.

When the Mede Emperor dies, Costis is abruptly called back to Attolia, and Kamet goes with him. Returning to the Attolian court requires some adjustments--especially when they learn that, due to some ridiculous bureaucratic housing policies, they need to get married.
Costis thinks it's a great idea. Kamet thinks the king has gone mad with power.

Summary
There are nights when no one dreams, or dreams are small and life-sized: espresso grounds and science books, the tenure track, or people; broken strings and shipwrecked boats, dishabille, or seagulls.
A story of cognitive dissonance and emotional devotion. Drs. Geiszler and Gottlieb deal with the complexities of the post-drift psychological state in a fine-ass, mature blaze of physics puns, banter, poorly prepared meals, questionable wardrobe choices, and, of course, science.

Summary
"I tried," Father added, hoarse. "Tried to fix it."
Garak swallowed. It was unreasonably difficult to do it. His heart was hammering in his chest; his mind was oddly blank. He felt excruciatingly aware of Julian, unmoving, leaning against the far wall—of the weight of Julian's eyes on him. But he'd told Father they were alone. He could not tell him to stop, could offer him no excuse for failing to respond as he must expect—
"Is that what you were doing," Garak said, very softly.
