Summary
“A matter of death?” Will says instead of a greeting.
The morning before Kit Marlowe went to get himself stabbed with a dagger as he lay on the bed, in a cramped room, with three drinking companions he's known from his younger days; the morning some time after Kit's former roommate, Thomas Kyd, spoke under... interrogation, and told all that he knew and a lot of what he didn't.
And a choice.

Summary
For Camille who refuses to be safely dead, and for the longest night of Saint-Just's life. For the strength found in words.
Inspired by the photos of the table on which Robespierre had spent the night of Thermidor; and by the end scene of La Terreur et la Vertu.

Summary
"Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", Arda edition. Just slightly off-canon, assuming that canon is mostly Elven-written: with rockets to the Void, prosthetics and wheelchairs, mechanical dragons, surgery canonized as shape-shifting, nuclear energy of the Silima...
(The stories do not need to be read in order, though And the Void Will Be Ours is a sort of introduction/summary).

Summary
The gang stops at an inn for the night on the way back from Volterra, and there’s only one bed. Actually there’s two beds, but Giuliano claims one for himself and Lorenzo and Francesco feel too sorry for him to argue.

Summary
Plutarch, Life of Sulla 10.1-2 (transl. Perrin, 1916 (here)): "[...]moreover, he [Sulla] set a price on the head of Marius, an act both ungrateful and impolitic, since it was in his house that he had found refuge and surrendered himself a little before this, and had been let off safe. And yet had Marius at that time not let Sulla go, but given him up to death at the hands of Sulpicius, he might have been absolute master in Rome; nevertheless he spared his life, and when after a few days he had given him the same opportunity, he did not obtain like mercy."
Valerius Maximus, Memorable Deeds and Sayings 9.2.1 (transl. Speed, 1678 (adapted here)): "But surely he [Sulla] would spare the shades of the dead? No. For digging up the ashes of C. Marius, whose quaestor once he was, though afterwards he was his enemy, he scattered them upon the river Anio."
