He took her hand and pulled her past a wall of silverite greaves and gauntlets. "At least you must have better boots."
"I don't want better boots," Valya said. Her face was so hot it itched a little behind her ears.

"I thought as much," she says. She won't laugh at him; she won't. Lovely man. "Two hours, my dear, of folding and refolding the same four towels..."

Summary
“Damn it.” Karlach grits her teeth. “Look, Blade, Mister Frontiers, whatever the Hells your name is—I didn’t ask to be here. If my life had gone a bit differently, better, I’d still be walking the streets of the Gate.”
And there she sees it: a small, sudden thing, the slimmest shaft of surprise falling over his face like a stray sunbeam. Hesitation.
Thing is, Karlach can’t really remember what such things as sunbeams and blue skies look like anymore. Maybe it’s just stupid, false hope. Or maybe it’s something real.
Wyll and Karlach's first meeting, in another world.

"Part?" Lumacchio scoffs, his eyes flicking upwards briefly behind his gilded mask. "All of this fuss, and you do not even have an entire god to show for it?"
(In which a spiral unravels, and the centre will not hold.)
