Summary
Now, when Armand stretches his lithe limbs, sees the hair that curls over his body, hears the deep timbre of his own voice, he feels as if he cannot escape it. He tries to channel the carefree nature he knows Amadeo had once possessed, but his body does not cooperate—cannot make itself any smaller than it is. He cannot fold his limbs in. And when he tries to remember how to speak as Amadeo spoke, he feels his mouth go dry, like ashes stuck to his tongue and the roof of his mouth.
OR
Armand returns to Marius, but he cannot make himself Amadeo.

Summary
She has imagined potential reunions with Lae'zel before, but she never imagined they would occur before the death of the Lich Queen. It would feel like caging a wild animal. Lae'zel would always be looking outward, wondering about the Astral Sea and the fate of her people.
But Shadowheart is not a perfect creature. She houses these wild animals anyway. She watches wolves, squirrels, and cats lumber through the widened door of her cottage, embracing the warmth of her hostel and the gentle touch of her hands before returning to their own homes. She wonders if Lae’zel will come back to her in this way—imagines Lae’zel coming to visit for a single night before returning to the moon above where Shadowheart sends her prayers.
-
Lae'zel and Shadowheart try to build a home when the world calls for them to be apart.

Summary
One night, Page looks up from her laptop and says, "Rough night?" Elektra hasn't even made it into the living room, but the question makes her stop in her tracks, and to make up for it, Elektra cocks her head and stares at Karen like she's asked an inconceivable question rather than an accurate one. Karen just smiles. "It's all over your face."
Elektra laughs it away and says, "You think you've got a read on me all of a sudden?"
"Call it journalistic intuition."
-
Karen doesn't expect her ex's ex to ask her for help, Elektra doesn't expect to keep coming back, and neither of them expect to fall in love.

Summary
Lae'zel and Shadowheart are notorious in their party for two things - being both exceptionally good at their roles, and being, at all times, a hair-breadth from killing one another.
Or so they would have their party think.

Summary
Shadowheart and Lae'zel start a new life together, an excitingly boring life. There’s no more room in their lives for trickery, deceit, lies, or torture. Instead it's all about lazy mornings, fresh berry jam, and declarations of affection, adoration, and annoyance.

Summary
“I…have known nothing in my life but battle.” The words are stilted, brusque; it is her way. “All my knowledge of…children…is of constant testing, unending bloodshed. I do not know what a healthy creche looks like. I do not know what a healthy githyanki childhood looks like. That knowledge has been stolen from us. I do not—” She grits her teeth. “I dislike embarking on such an important mission with no information. Too much is at stake.”
Tearing such vulnerability from between her ribs has never come naturally. But watching the still-wet hatchling examine its own toes, watching her lover brush eggshell from its arms, against her will Lae’zel softens. They have been through too much together not to respond such. Back-to-back, as ever, there is surely no challenge so great that they cannot—
“Well, don’t look at me,” says Shadowheart. “I was raised in a cult, remember?”
