Summary
"If you had asked Riz two hours ago what his plans for postgrad were, this would’ve never made the list. But since Jawbone said the words, Riz can’t get it out of his head. The image of the two of them, best friends, traveling far and wide, licking their wounds in seedy motels, nothing but the skin of their teeth and the rumble of a motorcycle engine. “I mean, think about it,” Riz says, which is exactly what Jawbone told them to do. His voice comes out soft and delicate, like a ceramic figure that can be easily broken. He doesn’t like it. “Think about it. Can you really imagine yourself doing anything else?”'
or
Fabian and Riz take up the mantle of traditional adventuring, just with the added benefit of the internal combustion engine.

Summary
I got it while I was reading.
At least, that’s what Alhaitham has always said. That he barely even noticed receiving his Vision. It almost seemed to bore him. The story is certainly boring.That’s not at all what Kaveh feels when Alhaitham’s Vision lights up in his hand.

Summary
She has a duty. The storybooks say: the dying do not invent love at the end. They wither and burn out.
(But Dunyarzad ran through the doors of her family home and choked on fresh air.
She had a dream where Dehya sacrificed her sword to make the Lesser Lord’s celebration a festival to remember,
And the roll of Nilou’s hips in dedication was captivating.)

Summary
The dicemaker tugs her headphones off. "What are you doing?"
"Watching."
"From my second-storey window?"
"Weather's nice. Thought I'd get a little exercise." Cindy pats the ledge beneath her. "You should think about installing security spikes. This place isn't safe for all your shinies."
The other woman pulls her headwrap back over her inner cap. “That would advertise there's something worth stealing," she says, then frowns. “Are you threatening me?"
Cindy grins and points at herself. "Relax. I'm an artist, me. I won't fuck with your medium."

Summary
Usually, when Death is involved, the earth shatters and apocalypses threaten mankind. Only worse things happen, bigger catastrophes — like when Death finds out that his beloved Cadillac's carburetor is ruined and his trusted mechanic has perished. A story about two lonely men, about classic cars and the hunt for the perfect 1959 62 Series spare part, involving Ebay, fast food and, as strange as it might sound, love and little brothers.

Summary
While Nahida is away on business with the traveler, Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham receives a request from Kshahrewar to help deal with unruly Jnana energy. However, soon afterwards, dealing with memories of others taking up his mind, it is up to Alhaitham to figure out the truth behind the Jnana energy and survive long enough to save his own mind.
“Alhaitham,” Kaveh says, his tone serious. “Are you alright?”
As if a gear is slotted back a centimeter, back into the place it should be turning, a sense of dread comes to him and at least for a moment, the samurai leaves him.
Kaveh called him by his name.
Kaveh never calls him by his name.
The astrologer takes over and speaks, “Everything is alright. It has simply been a long day.”

Summary
Ау: старые поверья гласили, что бог смерти, Моракс, обитал в лесу у подножия пика Сышань, неподалеку от омертвевшей земли долины Гуйли. Отчаявшиеся люди приходили туда, чтобы вымолить души близких - и тогда Моракс предлагал им сыграть в игру. Чайльд Тарталья достаточно смел, чтобы согласиться, потому что он никогда не проигрывал. И потому что это единственный способ спасти Тоню.

Summary
But soon you’re back at the wreckage of the old silk mill, and you help him over the wall. He’s perfectly capable of getting over it himself, but it’s a good excuse to take his gloved hand, to touch the nylon of his black jacket. You don’t let go of his hand as you lead him around the ruins, careful to not disturb anything, and down to the archives.

Summary
It makes sense, Klaasje realizes. Something in Ruby’s posture has been strained since she opened the door; she’s been speaking softly, as if it's taking her considerable effort just to fulfill this basic task.
Klaasje empathizes, even if a selfish, voiceless part of her psyche had been hoping that Ruby was (possibly, maybe, perhaps, conceivably) knocking on her door at this time of night for far less decent reasons.

Summary
To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.
Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.
