Summary
Finch had always expected that the ambassador from that strange northern land, with his funny accent and strange way of dressing, would leave him with nothing more than a few pairs of expensive earrings, a necklace or two, some very pretty hairpins and maybe a few coins to hoard below the loose floorboard under his bed. That was, after all, how most grand lords ended their affairs with pretty brothel boys.
“If I buy you, would you want to come with me?” Zariel had said, at the end of one evening, after he had bathed and while he was getting dressed.

Summary
The ship emerged from a cloud of steam and smoke, cutting through the atmosphere like a scalpel through flesh. Its hull glowed with the heat of entry. Ins watched it change from white to yellow to red, and then finally cool down enough to show its true colour: a pure, unmarked black, reflecting nothing.
Chau’s face lost all expression as they watched the ship bank and then turn, entering its final approach to the docks. “Sibling To The Storm,” they said. “Of Shatterpoint Station.”

Summary
Two shots that cracked his armour. A blow hard enough to knock him down. Then the elegant network breach that had sent Shard out of his head, and the strange, strange way he had felt like a fragile thing dropped in the gears of a mechanical engine, to be ground to dust. Of course he had bent to it, as naturally as the trajectory of a bullet curving under gravity.
After a combat mission gone wrong, a controller rewards one construct and punishes another.
Nothing good happens here.Series

Summary
It's a dangerous game Sylvain is playing. He can see each opportunity as it passes within inches of him. Maybe that's Sylvain's problem. He doesn't disappear enough on the battlefield. He's always still there, a little ways apart from his instincts, always wondering if he moved wrong, if he chose to move wrong—
—
Sylvain can't conceive of a relationship with himself that doesn't involve pain. As such, he goes out of his way to make it hurt.

Summary
You can’t be this stupid, ART said, which was insulting but also relieving, because it never talked to me that way during the trauma treatment. Maybe this wouldn’t turn into a BARF after all. Turn off your governor module, you idiot. It’s giving you brain worms.

Summary
The thing was I knew it was stupid. All of it, all of the parts. Especially the part where I was even considering it. But ART didn’t have to ask.
And I didn’t have to let it in, so I did.

Summary
It takes less than a handful of seconds for the line to be cut, less than that for the fish-boy-creature-thing to disappear down the beach, into the dark waves, leaving only an ident in the sand and a handful of broken fishing line to prove he was ever real.
“Oh.” Xiao Xingchen brings the tips of his fingers to his mouth. Song Lan realizes, belated, that he's bleeding.
“What—” Song Lan finally, finally steps closer, his legs shaking with the aftereffects of adrenaline. It already feels like a dream
"The fins," Xingchen says, and he sounds awed.
