Summary
They're figuring it out. Emilia and Emmrich, Emmrich and Emilia. Her on top. His gloved hand. The ghostly, spectral touch of his magic. His voice in her ear.
But mostly, mostly, she goes to kiss him and meets the glamour of his lips, and her fingers on his hard skull find themselves clutched in his hair.
When she looks up at him, though, it's not the same Emmrich she is used to. Undone, slightly. Breathless wonder, soft, on his features.

Summary
“There’s a man,” she finally gives in.
“A man? He got any defining traits, sweetheart?”
A smile breaks wide across her face, but it’s a sad one. “Smart. Handsome. Kind. Doesn’t love me back.”
Nick could laugh. Laugh, a loud bark of a laugh. Because this confirms it – whoever he is, the man is clearly an idiot.
“This young man of yours. He got eyes in his head? Brain rattling around his skull?”

Summary
It’s in her handwriting. Nicky, in her rounded cursive, scrawled across the holotape in black marker. Of course, he knows it’s from her. He had found it in her pocket.
“Hey, heartbreaker.” Her tone is teasing, playful, so out of touch with the awfulness of the situation. If he needed to breathe, he’s certain the air would have caught in his throat.
“It’s me,” her voice goes on. “If you’re listening to this… well. You already know the rest.”
...
The girl out of time gets the chance to lay out some things they never say. They don't talk about it.

Summary
Three nights and one morning between the girl out of time and her synth detective.
...
“You fancy a drink, Nicky?”
He cocks his head to the side, gives her a look. “You forgetting something, toots?”
She rolls her eyes. "You know what I mean, Valentine. Celebrate. Make a night of it."
(He briefly imagines saying alright, partner, you’re on. Imagines sitting across a table from her, clinking their bottles together, trading barbs and anecdotes until the early hours of the morning. Her leg resting familiarly against his under the table. Walking her home at sunrise.
There will be other nights, he figures.)
“This wouldn’t have anything to do with your sudden aversion to getting some shut-eye, now, would it?”

Summary
“Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”
Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.
“Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.
OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

“I know you,” Emmrich says, stupidly, backing away from the bed.
The boy, Rook, regards him alertly. “Where is this?”
“You’re —” Dead, Emmrich wishes to say, but why state the obvious?
(In which Emmrich assists in a murder investigation, gets himself haunted by a ghost, and falls head-over-heels.)

Summary
It starts, as it so often does, with a touch.
Tarquin knows himself well enough that he can count on one hand the number of times anyone has touched him recently. It's frustratingly few, outside a pair of average and unremarkable fucks with casual acquaintances that he would very happily assign to the dusty halls of memory than anything he looked back on with fondness.
But the Viper is touching him now.
