Summary
“The thing to decide is what kind of monster to be. The kind who builds towns or the kind who breaks them.” ---Catherynne M. Valente
Jonathan Crane never planned to be a siren. He never expected the scales, the magic, nor the urge to lure men to a watery death. He finds he likes it quite well, more than he'd ever liked being human. He could have lived a fine, happy life, if Edward Nygma hadn't waltzed into his world like he owned the place and brought along a host of complications like monster hunters, the Batman, and worst of all: this pesky jump in Crane's heart-rate whenever he sees Nygma.

Summary
“I never considered it waiting around,” Miles says. “I never expected it to become anything more. You were giving me all that you were capable of, and—maybe it wasn’t exactly in the form I hoped for, but it was more than enough.”
“Miles,” says Phoenix, giddy. “That’s fucked up.”

Summary
“You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.
“I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.
“I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”
“Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.
“You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.
