    Summary

    Samama Khalid was handsome. Charming, funny, and sweet. His drive to look into the Magnus Institute was so fierce that it almost made her want to help him for his reasons, instead of her own. Celia encouraged him with his research whenever she could, pushed him gently, even when he unconsciously resisted. Getting him to talk to Gerry Keay and Gertrude Robinson had been so easy that she had almost felt guilty. She laughed at Sam’s corny jokes, flirted with him, and when he finally–awkwardly–asked her out, she had to stop herself from letting out an audible sigh of relief.

    Summary

    “You do not strike me as one who has ever served, Lady Proudmoore.” Thrall could not keep the bitterness from his voice.

    The Lady turned to him, and Thrall knew instantly that he had misjudged her. She had the eyes of a true warrior as she glared up at him.

    “I serve the refugees that I have led across the sea,” she said fiercely. “I refuse to let them die here after all they have endured.”

    Proudmoore, Thrall thought. The name suited her well. He grunted in approval and Jaina’s icy eyes softened.

    Summary

    “Anduin is as a son to me,” Jaina's voice held all of the threat and fury as an ocean wave in a storm. “And what you have let happen to him makes you little better than Ar–” Jaina paled and cut herself off before she could say what they both knew to be true.

    “As you said, I cannot offer an apology. All I can do is help bring him back, if you'll let me.”

    Summary

    Ed was twenty-six years old, and he had never felt more like a child. Riza sat calmly across from him, a soft expression on her face, as if she felt sorry for him. He wanted to take her by the shoulders and shake her–to tell her she should scream and break things and be angry. He wanted her to take his hand and say, sorry Edward, you’re right, we won’t go through with this. He wanted for her to have not done the terrible things that she had, he didn’t want her to go to prison, or to stand blindfolded in front of a firing squad. He didn’t want things to be the way that they were.

    Summary

    Politics, Riza thought, were not dissimilar from war. Strategy and subterfuge; winners and losers. And, as in battle, sacrifices would have to be made.

    Summary

    They sat at the hotel bar first, still in their wet civvies. Roy bought them top-shelf Aerugonian tequila, and paid for each round. It was a delicious luxury, to lean against his chest in their booth, and feel the weight of his arm slung so casually across her shoulder. When it was time, she led him up the stairs to their room, never letting go of his hand. He unlocked the door, and pulled her into his arms as soon as it closed behind them.

    Summary

    “Our daughter is a fighter, like her mother,” Roy said, only half a jest.

    Riza laughed softly, and Roy drowned happily in the sound.

    Summary

    “My aunt gave me a book of myths when I was a kid. There was one story about a man whose lover died, so he travelled to the underworld to beg to have her return with him. He was told that she could go home with him, as long as she walked behind him and he swore not to turn to see if she was following. But he lost faith and turned to look at her, and so she had to stay in the underworld forever.”

    Riza is very still in his arms. “Why are you telling me this?”

    “Because I know that I wouldn’t.”

    “Wouldn’t what?”

    “I wouldn’t turn around,” Roy swallows hard. “I would have faith that you were following.”

    Summary

    The peach on Jarred’s plate looks beautiful. Pink and orange and white; perfectly plump. And yet he can smell a deep rot. He pokes at it with his knife, spinning it around on his plate. There is a bruise on the side that had been facing away from him. It is dark and purple and sickly, like an infected wound, and a gorge of revulsion rises in the back of his throat. It looks to him as if the inside meat of the fruit would ooze from its flesh if he were to prod it.

    Summary

    “Want to know something?” Her eyes look black in the twilight and they consume him wholly.

    “Sure,” he says warily.

    “I’ve killed four hundred and thirty-three people,” she brings the bottle back to her lips. “That’s the highest confirmed kills by a non-alchemist in this war. Because I’m the best.”

    She spits out the last words like bile, and Roy wishes the desert would swallow him whole. She’s barely twenty; only been at the front for eighteen months. He doesn’t know how many people he has killed. Thousands, certainly: suffocated by smoke, crushed by collapsing buildings, burned alive. But of course she knows. Snipers always know.

    Summary

    She follows his gaze and sees what he does, a family, perhaps, two adults and three young children lit by moonlight and endless stars, running quickly, as if that will save them. The man beside her rubs the tattoo on his left palm as if it itches, and she waits for him to do what he does best. But he doesn’t, for once, instead he looks at her and spreads his arms wide.

    “Please, Miss Sniper. Play me a symphony.”

    Summary

    Weeks had turned into months, and Connor had been Hank’s roommate for nearly two years. He had discovered that living with another person meant that you learned things about them that didn’t require scanning technology to know. For example, he knew that Hank had a habit of printing off recipes he found online and saving them in a folder, even though he hated cooking and usually ordered in. He knew that Hank’s favourite time to walk Sumo was midnight, when the streets were quiet, and he wouldn’t have to talk to neighbours he didn’t like.

    And he knew that Hank was exactly one year sober.

    Summary

    Roy took a deep sip of his drink. “Was there something you wanted to talk about, Elizabeth?”

    Riza smiled ruefully. “Not really. Would it be wrong to say that I just missed you?”

    He couldn’t help but notice the way her fingers kept brushing against the cut on her face, the way her eyes darted to the bright lights cast on the walls as she spoke. He wanted to burn the homunculi to death a thousand times over for making his Lieutenant jump at shadows.

    Summary

    "I'm sorry," Roy said, once they were alone, "that we can't have this. What they have."

    "Don't be sorry," Riza said softly, cradling the baby against her chest. "We made our choices. Just be happy for your friend."

    Roy reached out a gentle hand and stroked Elicia's brow. "I can do that."

    Summary

    Maybe he didn’t really know when. But somehow, he had always known that one day he would have to watch her die. And that it would be his fault.
