Summary
Gideon, of course, would have known Wake by the curl of her iliac crest, the line of her zygomatic bone, the slight arch of her metacarpals. Gideon would have known her in a heartbeat, spotted her as easily in death as in life, read her in a language where he claimed fluency. Gideon could have named her off a shard of femur by the thanergetic signature. Gideon was dead, and he wasn’t going to know her any longer.
After Nona, Pyrrha Dve walks the Ninth.

“Earth word is depression. It means sad mood that doesn’t go away easily. It’s caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.”
Rocky makes a frustrated little noise. “How fix, question?”
“I don’t know,” I say, and Rocky deflates a little. “Good chemicals.”
And that’s when I get a really stupid idea.

Summary
Pyrrha looked at Camilla with a question in her eyes, got some unspoken response, and added: “Also, I resent the implication that we're not already a real family. We have an absent father, somewhere between one to three kids, and are all fucked up to hell. What else do you need, the picket fence?”
“Well,” Nona said, looking mournfully at the sniper blinds, “it would be nice.”
On New Rho, public perception forces Nona's household to make their ambiguous bonds a little less ambiguous. Or: Pyrrha and Camilla get fake married.

Summary
In the dream, he does it right. He lets the assholes go. He lets them fly off to fucking fairyland and leave the rest of humanity to die in mounds of promotional t-shirts nobody ever wore and colliery spoil tips and Bratz dolls. He’s able to palpate the part of himself that bays for their blood, pare it away, and cauterize the wound. It rots somewhere, left behind in a footstep he doesn’t care to count. He has better things to do.
Or: John puts that first-draft dream of his to bed.

“Gideon,” Paul says, “will you come with us?”

“Oh, yeah, I’m super dead. No need to let that stand in the way of our tearful reunion,” Gideon sneers. “Jackass.”

Summary
What Wake gives it is not a name. To do so would be a moronic, unnecessary cruelty. But she does deign to give it the microscopic dignity of a title, a goal, a purpose. Bomb.
Eighteen years later, in the rubble of a once-sacred home, Harrowhark Nonagesimus reaches up and touches Gideon Nav’s grit-covered, blood-rimed face, splits a laugh like the world is ending, and calls her “flower.”

Summary
“If the Ninth’s honor is at stake – I believe I could take Quinn or Dyas.”
“Don’t,” says Harrow immediately. “It will not be.”
“Of course not,” Aiglamene agrees. “But if it were, I would not hesitate to try. Any of them would have me at to the touch, but to the floor? The mercy? The death? You should understand, my lady, the cards you hold, and the most advantageous time to play them.”

Bookmarker's Notes
“You were too young,” Aiglamene bursts out. Her second interruption in Harrow’s life. Her voice is tight. “You were a child, and mentally unwell, and your had just lost your parents. That bastard Crux said that it’s what you were born for, and that it would be an insult to take it from you, but Harrowhark – I wish we had. It is the job of the old to protect the young, and as we failed at even that, it is at least our job to die for you.”

She was where she needed to be. She was going to pull her necro out of this godforsaken tomb, end the game of musical bodies they were playing, and then everything would be all right. Harrow would be alive. And Gideon was going to give her shit for approximately the next myriad for not just taking what she’d offered and saving them a whole lot of trouble.

Summary
She feels like he’s peeling every layer of her being, one by one by one. And when he gets to her bones, he’ll find something she’ll never be able to run away from.
“…you,” the stranger says, his hands flexing into fists. Unclenching again. “You are…”
Gideon holds her breath. She doesn’t know why she thinks so, but it seems to her that Harrow does as well.
The corner of the man’s lips twitches up in a smile.
“You’re the spitting image of your mother.”
