Summary
“Hi Manfred,” Rook says. “Nice to meet you!”
Rook looks like most people look. She is person-shaped and has a head with hair, but beneath that, she is brimming with curiosity. He feels drawn to her, in the same way he had been drawn to Emmrich once – when he was shiny and small and didn’t live inside Manfred. Manfred has a good feeling about this. It’s new. It's exciting. He already agrees with her.
Nice to meet you too! he hisses.***
Short and sweet scenes showing Manfred’s perspective on events of the Veilguard, and on the budding romance between Emmrich and Rook.

Summary
It was true, Cosette allowed, that he was nothing at all like the beautiful young man from the Luxembourg, but she must not judge him unkindly for that. The world was full of young men, and it would be quite tedious if all the handsome ones were handsome in the same way.

Summary
I should like not to believe in dragons' suffrage (said Reginald). His Majesty's horse was so very well-roasted that one cannot even affect an air of surprise when the subject is brought up, as one can with other praiseworthy causes, like the reformation of charwomen, or the revival of village church choirs.

Summary
“I’ve just remembered,” she said, as Mike gingerly rested a tea towel full of ice on her wrist for the third time — it kept slipping off. “The uncle was hanging about. Following the nieces around looking like a wet weekend, the poor guy.”
Mike hummed thoughtfully. “Didn’t know ghosts could do that. Our lot are stuck in the grounds of the house, right?”
“Yeah,” she said, chewing on her lip. “I guess it’s not exactly a science, is it? I mean, a lot of the ghosts I see out and about are sort of… uncommunicative. Maybe there’s lots of different types of them.”
“Like Pokemon,” said Mike.

Summary
“Stephen, use your spectacles, tell me if I don’t mistake what I read.”
Maturin took the paper from across the table. “Your eyes do not deceive you, dear. You are made full Admiral, Admiral of the Blue, effective this week. I give you joy of it.”
“Admiral of the Blue,” repeated Jack, wonderingly. “Can it really be so. It seems just yesterday…” And here he gazed off, thinking, as Stephen was, of the very moment he had first raised a blue pennant at his mizzen-mast.

Summary
“I wish you would stop being such a martyr,” a languid voice says quietly, drawling as well as a man can with two missing molars and a glassy, bloodshot eye, leaking all the while from open chest wounds. Francis is rather impressed with his dedication to the role, somewhere under the roil of fury and exhaustion. “You know as well as I do that you could have this bed sometimes, if it didn’t suit you to stomp about with blacked eyes and a put-upon expression.”
“And what should we do with you all the while, Commander,” he says, all on a great sigh, “wrap you in sailcloth already? Come, man, you’re either well enough to cease bleeding on my sheets or too ill to get out of them, you can’t have it both ways.”
“Francis,” Ross began, “I did not undertake to accept the position of second on Franklin’s expedition for you, as you asked.”

Summary
Edward Little and Thomas Jopson died on the shale of King William Island. So bumping into each other in a Bloomsbury lecture hall fifty years later comes as something of a surprise. From the Fabian Society to the Three Day Week, from the trenches to the Pyramids to Old Compton Street - in life after life Edward sees Thomas, and remembers. Is this a chance to put things right? Or is the punishment for his failure in the Arctic to spend eternity losing the man he loves?

Summary
Wedding season approaches at Button House and, for once, everything is going off without a hitch. Of course, there’s the slight issue of Pat’s recent epiphany about his sexuality, Kitty’s determination to get her hands on as much badly-written erotica as possible, and the peasants becoming decidedly revolting. Still, if only the ghosts can refrain from murdering any of the builders, Alison is fairly sure they can pull this off.
Or, Pat and the Captain negotiate coming out, even if it's only to each other.

England is a dream, emerging from the thinning mist; unreal.
England is on this limping frigate; one of the last to leave. Men in blankets, wrapped in tarps, the sweat of waking nightmares oily in their hair.
James keeps England in the pocket of his greatcoat, tucked against his heart.
