Summary
The farmer may treasure his fattest calf, all plump on its rump and with the sweetest mewling. The farmer may pet it, soothe it, bring it into his arm in a gentle, paternal embrace—until the calf forgets itself, believing itself to be a man, a son. Yet no amount of pretence lasts forevermore.
Eventually, the son will return. Not even a prodigal one, but the true protégé.
When he does, the farmer will once more stroke the underbelly of the calf with worn, gentle hands before leading it to the butcher’s knife. A slaughter to celebrate the return of his son.
Aldo looks upon his butcher.
Tedesco gazes back.(Following the end of the conclave, Tedesco reveals his knowledge of Aldo’s secret to him. Aldo finds himself to be a docile beast led to the butcher’s hand.)

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
Okay, sure. So, there was a word for people who didn’t find other people sexy. Great. A normal word. A well-known word. And not a medical condition.
But surely whoever wrote this understood that it was an anomaly. There weren’t enough people like this to warrant a label. After all, what was the point of a human who didn’t want sex?
(What was the point of me? — I’d asked a hundred times before.)
Or: A heteronormative movie adaptation, a very weird BuzzFeed article, and an internet rabbit hole lead Grace to the discovery of a label sixty years in the making.

Summary
Rome is marble-white pillars and dusty roads. Rome is smoke-black skies and carriages in the streets. Rome is buildings as tall as gods, needles scraping the sky raw. Rome is in Brutus' veins. Rome is in Cassius' lips and eyes.
A story about blood, and gods, and cities, and love.
