    Summary

    The nights were not kind to Riza Hawkeye. Sleep felt elusive following the failed operative to capture a homunculus after Gluttony swallowed the Colonel whole with Edward alongside him. Before she could gather her bearings and make sense of what was happening, Mustang’s men were transferred at different cardinal points in Amestris with herself at the center as Bradley’s assistant.

    As for him… he had been changed.

    Summary

    He's been in that mood all day. The mood that most people would interpret as “I am superior to everyone around me and they should really stop bothering me with their inane problems immediately,” but that really means “I am the worst human being alive and completely incapable of dealing with all of these people’s problems, so they should really stop bothering me immediately.” She's become intimately familiar with it, over the years.

    Summary

    Gawain does not step forward when that fateful challenge is issued at court, but makes a different wager instead. Caught between the old gods and the new at the height of summer solstice, he does not leave home but makes a journey all the same.

    “Who would you have me pray to?”

    “A dangerous question to ask, looking the way you do. For I would like all pretty things to pray to me, but I take care not to make such selfish requests.”

    “Selfish or not, I will pray only to you from now on.”

    Summary

    Lord Bertilak kissed him, and Gawain might have looked like a knight, but he knew now that that was an illusion, not one made by a sorcerer's brew and spells but with armor and pretty words. And so, instead of resisting it, as he knew a knight might, as he knew a knight ought to, when a knight is aware that lines are being crossed, he did not pull away, allowing Lord Bertilak's hands to linger at his face long after he'd pulled away, smiling grey hawks' eyes intently searching his face. He was not a knight and so, when Lord Bertilak nodded his head and began to pull away, Gawain grabbed his arm, surging up to meet his lips again.<

    "There is more," he said, his mouth dry even as the forest around them was filled with moisture and dampness, little droplets of waters still clinging onto the leaves from what Gawain could only assume had been a proper Welsh rain earlier in the morning, and it was not an admission, the green kirtle still safe, heavy around his waist. "More for you to take."
