    Summary

    Nobby slowed as he approached the cell.

    “Morning, sir!” he said brightly.

    “Morning, Nobby,” said Vimes, as if he hadn’t killed someone last night.


    His Grace, the Duke of Ankh has had better weeks, and old feelings are making everything...confusing. Just how far will his loyalty stretch when he's pushed to his limit...?

    Summary

    Big <unknown sign(s)> today, Goldie comments this cycle, as a greeting. You good?

    Moon, who has only just finished salvaging the rest of the uncorrupted data and reformatting her damaged neuron, does not know how to communicate one of my scant remaining fragments of consciousness has been irreparably damaged, and all your hard work is nothing but garbage data. She does not even remember the sign for I am sorry.

    It takes Moon about a hundred cycles, maybe more, to learn to communicate with the local scavengers.

    Summary

    Warlock Dowling goes to Cambridge as step one of his long-term rebellion, expecting bad weather and bad teeth and maybe some repressed childhood memories of England to haunt him along the way. What he does not expect is Adam Young.

    (The Antichrist-that-wasn't reveal is kind of a shocker, too, he guesses. The fact Nanny was a demon is less so.)

    Summary

    Warlock couldn't help being a little underwhelmed by Soho. There was nothing there that really struck him.

     

     

    Except that bookshop. That weird little street corner that didn’t match up at all with the bars and clubs all around it. That place was interesting. The paint was chipping, and the windows were too dusty to see through, but it felt… safe, sort of. A calm little patch of quiet at the center of London’s hustle and bustle. Something about it was… almost familiar.

     

    In which Warlock thinks he's been abandoned, Crowley and Aziraphale think Warlock is dead, and they all find each other anyway.

    Summary

    “It’s okay that you miss him,” said Lan Wangji, a familiar litany to them both by now. “Do you feel sad?”

    “I feel sad,” A-Yuan repeated, shoulders hitching with tiny hiccuping sniffs. “When is he coming back?”

    “I don’t know. I am not sure where he is.”

    But this seemed to frustrate A-Yuan. “Xian-gege! I miss him! Please, baba?” He looked up at him with wet cheeks and a wide, quivering frown. “Please baba can you ask him? I really miss him!” He sobbed again, heartbreakingly.

    It stabbed straight through him, cracking open the reservoir of loss and helplessness that was all his own. His child’s grief did that, sometimes. It always took him by surprise. He caught his breath sharply and gathered A-Yuan into his arms, holding him tight until the pain ebbed.

    “I will try,” he said softly into A-Yuan’s hair, when he could speak again. He never made uncertain promises and tried not even to raise uncertain hopes, but his son was hurting. His son believed he could make it better. He couldn’t not try.

    Wen Qing might at least know who this “Xian-gege” was. He would text her in the morning. It would be a start.
