Summary
She doesn’t know what she was expecting when the Champion of the Hells showed up in her dreams, but it’s certainly not this. No brimstone, no gloating, no welcome to the dark side monologue. It’s—a little disappointing, if she’s being honest.
While the Crown Keepers are on their quest to bring Ted back to the material plane, Opal meets another Champion of the Betrayers. They're nothing alike.

Bookmarker's Notes
When he speaks, Zerxus meters his words out with care. “You are scared,” he says, “because you are facing down eternity. That is no small thing. And—it was not inevitable. You have a choice, Opal. You were the one who told me that, and it is no light choice.”
Opal stares down at her own hands. Imagines what they’ll be like in a century, or two, or ten, ash-stained and bloodied.
“Aren’t you gonna tell me not to do it?” she whispers.
Zerxus stares at her, his eyes too bright. He holds up his hands in supplication. Slowly, jerkily, he shakes his head.
All the breath goes out of her lungs. She sags against the tree at her back, and the tears begin to flow.

Summary
"Another monster for you to slay?” Tim asks when he sees his brother reading through a stack of letters. Mayors and governors and village heads have sent out the call. Everyone knows Danny’s name.
“A witch,” Danny says with a devil-may-care grin.
---
“Nothing gets in or out, not even with the key.” He taps his pocket, where he keeps the one key that he did not give her. “And believe me when I say that’s a good thing. What lies beyond this door is incredibly dangerous, so I would advise you not to try opening it.”
“Of course,” Sasha agrees, burning with curiosity. “Thanks for the warning.”

The ancients used to eviscerate animals to read the future in their entrails. How might his guts spill? What future can Louis see in the bloody mess of him?
Armand, getting clean.

Bookmarker's Notes
He knows it’s not his fault. What he doesn’t yet know, after centuries, and what nobody seems capable of telling him, is how to make it through a day without wanting to collapse on the floor and scream like an infant.
What he’s chasing. An excuse to rip himself apart. Something to justify the pain that he’s constantly in. To make it logical.
Louis, whatever reasons may motivate him, is willing to hold his hand and then give him something to scream about.

“And you say that Armand was…” Daniel checked his notepad. “Telling you all this via the medium of song and choreographed dance. And, I quote, ‘in black and white, a la Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.’”
“Well,” said Lestat with an expansive gesture. “Figuratively.”
Daniel gripped his patience with both hands, but that didn’t seem to help much.

Summary
“If someone finds us here, I will not cast a single spell to stop them,” Jace says. “You draw attention like that, you clean it up.”
Porter leisurely snaps an arcane lock onto the office door. He stops and looks back at Jace. In the moonlight seeping through the window, his face is wrought half of flesh, half of shadow. His eyes gleam bloody red as the sun.
Jace’s body throbs, a furious heartbeat head to toe. He tells himself it’s a faulty response, some pulse of magic from the shatterstar in his chest. He tells himself that it’s not the sense-memory of straddling Porter’s thigh two nights ago, biting his mouth open till it turned the same shade of rage-hot red.
“If someone finds us here, I’ll break their spine,” Porter says calmly. “And you’re certainly welcome to watch. Now, how do we draw this circle?”
***
Five rituals, over the course of ten months.

Porter’s going to be a god. Jace is going to put him there. Everything else is insignificant, irrelevant, nothing more than chalk and dust.

Summary
It goes like this: Pok Askandi dies young, swallowed down by a dragonborn, and works straight on through his afterlife. He goes on one mission to the mortal plane after his death, and no more.
It goes like this: Sklonda Gukgak has a one-night stand with a man she can't find afterward, as if he's dropped off the face of the planet. Then her son comes out with celestial markings, and she realizes just why she couldn't find Pok. Now, all she has to do is raise an angel kid. No problem. She's got this, surely. Definitely.
It goes like this: Riz Gukgak grows up aasimar, and decides he's better off without his magic. It's only ever messed things up. It's only ever made his life harder, and gods know his life was never going to be easy in the first place. He's better off swallowing it. If he never uses it, surely he can't drown in it. He can just not use it. He can be a rogue and push down all the magic and it won't have to matter that there's celestial power in him. No problem. It's a foolproof plan, right up until his freshman year. Then everything starts to go off the rails. But he's got this, surely. Definitely.

Summary
It’s a project, Kalina decides. It’s too unique of a situation to pass up doing nothing about. In all of these past centuries, no one has ever been born with her before. So she’s curious. And the kid is cute. Sue her.
Riz grows up in Arborly, with an imaginary friend that he eventually realizes isn't imaginary. An imaginary friend would be limited by his own knowledge - but it seems like Kalina knows everything.

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.

Bookmarker's Notes
It wasn’t fair. It still isn’t. But the dam has sort of broken, and Kipperlilly watches as Oisin stabs Ruben in the chest for strumming his guitar a little too loud one night. She watches as Mary Ann takes a brick to Ivy’s head in the backyard for insulting her game console. She watches as Ivy slits Oisin’s throat for calling her a stuck-up bitch, and as Ruben bashes a guitar over Mary Ann’s head for using his shampoo one morning. They turn on her too: she chews too loud, so Oisin chokes her out; she snaps at Ivy, and Ivy puts an arrow through her skull; she takes the last chip out of the bag, the one Mary Ann wanted, and that night she’s suffocated in her sleep; she and Ruben get into it over something she can’t even remember, and he breaks her ribs and snaps her neck before she can claw his chest open. Buddy starts going through more diamonds than he can keep up with because waiting to be resurrected by their nameless rage god is starting to get annoying. Eventually Kipperlilly gets in on some of the killings too, helping hold Mary Ann down as Ivy drowns her and snapping Oisin’s neck one night when he starts playing that fucking song again—My arms are just fucking stuck like this, the lady croons, and Ruben grabs one of Kipperlilly’s knives and goes for Ivy while Kipperlilly dashes into the tower, jumps on Oisin’s back, and twists his head sickeningly quickly.
(Oisin was trying to turn it off, she realizes later. He hadn’t meant to start playing it. But what’s done is done, and she doesn’t regret it. The sounds he made as he choked to death play like a lullaby when she tries to sleep now.)

Summary
There’s a version of Riz that’s always stuck in limbo, falling off a cliff. There’s a version of Adaine that’s always impaled on the horn of a unicorn, triumphant up until. But they knew who they were. They didn’t lose everything before they’d even begun. If they hadn’t survived, they would have had a legacy and people who mourned who they’d become.
Kristen was fourteen with worshipful eyes and too much hope in good prevailing over everything else. Gorgug was fourteen with rage he couldn’t control and kindness he could control even less.
-
or: Kristen and Gorgug died together. They don’t talk about it as much as they should.

Bookmarker's Notes
They died. There isn’t a way around it—never has been. They were two scared kids, on their first day of school, and they died together, and they were brought back together. They weren’t the first people to ever die. They weren’t special. Even with all their accolades, they aren’t special now. Gorgug is paving new paths every day—Cloaca has even stopped trying to say it sucks every five seconds. He’s tall, and he’s kind, and god, he’s fucking beautiful—Kristen really doesn’t know if she’s ever seen a spirit as clear and drawn by goodness. But it doesn’t change the fact that he was just a fucking kid, and he died, and sometimes that fact must haunt him the way it haunts Kristen.
She died. She thinks she was always meant to. She’s died a couple of times, in fact. And every time she comes back, she’s a little stronger, a little better, a little wiser, and a little more hollow. She keeps dying with no funeral. No previous versions of her have been honored, and she might be the only person who mourns that old version of herself, because god, she’s the only one who remembers, isn’t she? There’s a part of her that’s stuck in tie-dye with a staff and a book and a love for corn and the sun and that part of her likes to show up in reflections and the corner of her eye and remind her what innocence she lost.

Summary
“It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”
Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”
“But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

Bookmarker's Notes
In the silence that follows, Falin can almost hear Marcille’s clever mind overworking itself to make sense of the situation. To hear something else, to read between the lines that aren’t there, synthesize a scenario where nothing important has changed and she doesn’t have to contend with the unfamiliarity, the helplessness of simply not knowing what to do or say.
Falin has spent her whole life with that helplessness. She simply accepted that everything would feel new and confusing, for reasons she couldn’t understand. But Marcille, she wouldn’t be able to stand it — and Falin can’t help but laugh.

Bookmarker's Notes
Your hands flex, tense up, you feel the pinch in your head making you drop the blade you're still imagining yourself grasping.
A memory forces itself into your mind. You, flipping it in front of the Favor Tree, along with every subtlety of the real, just-like-this-real terror in Loop's voice as they begged you to put it down, to give it back, to throw it anywhere else, the one thing they ever truly meant. You line up that moment with this one, and it fits like a glove.
