Summary
Gideon watches the movement of her throat as she swallows, embarrassed by the sudden overwhelming urge to arch up and lick the length of her neck, and then Harrow says, “You scared the shit out of me.”
Maybe that should throw her off, but Gideon’s spent a large portion of her life dealing with and translating Harrow-isms, and she can read between the lines. “Sorry,” she says, and doesn’t really mean it, because literally anyone would make the mistake of forgetting they were covered in blood after the type of day Gideon had.

Summary
"You're not actually going to send Ianthe nudes, are you?" says the Body, in a tone that suggests she sincerely disapproves. Harrow never entertained what she thought the Body's views on pornography might be. She certainly never considered they might be quite conservative views.
Harrow sends the picture anyway.

Summary
“What’s up with her and only chasing girls who don’t want her?" Gideon muses, idly. "She got a kink for the unattainable?”
“It’s hardly a singular occurrence,” Harrow retorts, and at the raised eyebrow she receives adds, “You’ve really never wanted somebody who couldn’t care less that you were alive?”
Gideon gives her a look. “You’re not actually asking me that right now.”

Summary
“Don’t,” Kiriona whispers suddenly, freezing still like a sculpture in the art gallery courtyard. “Don’t, if you’re just doing it to make me feel better.”
Nona cocks her head, and asks, “What if I just like you for being a warm body?”
“In the summer? You’re out of your mind, Nones.” Nona kisses her. “You’re out of your mind.”

Summary
“I’m on the swim team.”
“Oh, are you?” This is news to her. Harrow did gymnastics through high school, best tumbler Aiglamene had ever seen, or so she constantly bragged. “I thought the anemia made you a weak swimmer.”
Harrow scowls, “Weak swimmer, yes. Weak diver, no.”

Summary
It makes her feel starved of air just to realise that, short of dropping to the lino floor and giving into death’s sweet embrace in the middle of the dinner rush, no one’s got a fucking clue what a mess her head is. She knows how to suffocate gracefully, now, how to do it quietly.
Gideon, though. Gideon makes it so so so fucking difficult. Gideon always fucking does.

Summary
It's far too late to up and leave. Harrow's gone ahead and worked her magic; she's successfully pulled Gideon back into her repetitions; like they’re the last two crabs trapped in a bucket together, bound for the boil; like they’re the couple from Uzumaki – and Gideon would be lying to the universe if she said she could escape it, at this point. She’d be lying if she said she wanted to. That’s probably the most awful part.

Summary
She and Sextus always made each dive look like the natural currents of a river. Of course they moved that way, it’s how they were meant to, it’s how everything was meant to.
Looking at her now, Pyrrha can see the pain as it sits in Camilla's collarbones, in her throat, in the hands she’s hiding in her pockets, clenched into fists. She knows that’s how it feels to be cut off from the mouth of the river.

Summary
“No prosthetic?” you ask, as her hand falls away from your face and you catch a look at the empty right sleeve of her coat, draped stylishly over her shoulder.
“Yes,” Ianthe agrees, her self-satisfied expression going a little tight, “but don’t worry, I didn’t get rid of it. I mean, who else can say they have a Nonagesimus original?”
