Summary
Archie remembers the first time he saw what Horatio could be. All that potential, unspooling out in front of him, in the blinding sunshine on the deck. Remembers the way Horario had turned to him, beaming, and all Archie could see was those dimples.

Summary
Federico had heard of her in passing—heard of the foreign minstrel whose songs had captivated the people of Firenze. They say she stands as strong as her voice, only once the sun has begun its descent from the skies. He’s heard of her, yes, but had never managed to catch a glimpse.
Until now, that is.
There she stands, towering above the crowds as she dances in time with her performance, melodic voice echoing out across the stones.
Firenze’s own songbird, Lady Arani da Levant.

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.
