Summary
“Awww, is Augusta shy?” Iuno pushes herself off the ground, moves to stand in front of her — the grin upon her lips has only grown wider, a distinctly smug undertone to it. “Is the Sun of Septimont so easily brought down by the implication that our city’s fair maidens find her quite attracti—”
Or: Before the Undying Sun and the Moon Arrow, there is Augusta and Iuno.

Summary
Afterward, Rodion and Heathcliff watch over him.

Bookmarker's Notes
[ Heathcliff's hands close into fists. He looks tired. He looks like he wants to tear away Gregor's pain with his own hands. "Still is, of 'course. Just like the blonde lass is still our knight chasing after her dreams. Nothing has changed." His jaw is set, as if daring her to challenge him.
But Rodion knows, too. She shakes her head; defiant as him. Not pest. Not vermin. Not The Roach Emperor Valencina had crowed about. Nothing what G Corp forced him to be. That's not their Gregor, not when they know him better than anyone else. Their Gregor is cranky. Always complaining about his back. Their Gregor makes jokes that has everyone cringing slightly. Their Gregor is bitter and lonely and kind.
And their Gregor is human. So, so human. ]

[ Theon laughed and jumped down. He picked up his sword from where he’d left it propped against the tree. “This time I’ll fight the both of you to rescue her.”
Jon picked himself up with a frown. “You can’t be the hero.”
Robb nodded. “Everyone knows Greyjoys are villains.”
Theon’s hand tightened on the hilt of his sword until his knuckles ached. If they’d been brothers in true, he would have thrashed them for that. Rodrik would have. They weren’t his brothers though. They were his friends, his captor’s children. They were as close as he’d get to what Lord Stark had promised.
Theon made himself laugh. “I’ll show you a villain,” he shouted and charged, gently though, playfully. They fled laughing instead of in tears. ]

Eddard Stark returned from Dorne with two things. His sister’s bones. And a babe.

[ “I know I am not the husband you expected-.”
“But you may just be the husband I need,” Cat interrupts, more honest than she has been in her life. Seven help her, she hardly knows him, but she never, ever wished to be parted from him again.
Ned glances at her, and smiles.
It is not Brandon’s smile, open and bright enough to fill a room. It is a small smile, soft and secret, just for her.
Yes, she thinks. She could have been very happy with Brandon. Could have had many babes and learned to like Winterfell and the North, grown to be content.
Oh, but Ned. Ned, she could love. ]

Summary
After being called upon to come pick Theon up from the hospital, Robb is understandably concerned. The last he'd heard, Theon was just supposed to be on a date. It turns out Theon has a good case to make for having been on the worst date ever and Robb's going to have to have talk to Domeric about having set Theon up with his...problematic brother.

[ “It was pretty bizarre. Reek isn’t even a name and certainly not something I would want to be associated with so I called him out on it,” Theon explained. “He pretended he had no idea what I was talking about. Or at least I think he was pretending? And he kicked me when I tried to tell him my name was Theon. Which he pretended he had never heard before.”
“And then you immediately left, right?” Robb asked pointedly.
Theon coughed.
“Right?” ]

Summary
“You guys ever complain about your dads together?”
“Hell no,” Nico said. “Just mention Dante or Vergil and Nero’ll clam up faster than a jackrabbit. Best I’ve been able to get is a-” she started doing a terrible impression of his voice “-those bastards left me behind.”
“Oh, Nero,” Lady said.

[ Question. What did you want all that power for?
The imaginary Vergil in his mind would pause, and his voice would melt into V’s. “I just wanted to be protected and loved,” V said. “Without power, you can’t protect anything.”
Question. Who would you protect?
Nero had to squeeze his eyes shut as tight as they would go, but the Vergil in his mind would soften and say, “You, of course.”
Question. Do you want to meet Kyrie?
“My future daughter in law? I want to meet her right away.”
Question. Why did you give me V’s book?
“My book,” Vergil would correct. “It was the only thing I could give you at the time. I would give you the world if I had one kept in my pocket.” ]

[ “Nero?”
He wakes up gasping, clutching his right arm to make sure it’s still there. It takes him a few seconds to get his breath under control. “Nothing, Kyrie,” he says. “Sorry. Go back to sleep.”
She shifts onto her side to face him. She doesn’t say anything, but she reaches out and takes his hand.
Nero grabs her and pulls her on top of him, squeezing her torso and taking long, shuddering breaths into her hair. Kyrie hums and positions herself in a slightly better position for hugging him back, but otherwise doesn’t move away.
“I love you,” Nero whispers.
“I love you too,” Kyrie says. “And don’t worry about your family, Nero. They’ll come back.”
He blinks, twice, hard. “How do you know?”
“Because you’re here,” Kyrie says. “And you’re the best thing in the universe, trust me. They’ll come back to you.” ]
