    Summary

    "The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, and brought Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, given that you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"

    Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."

    "Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "Thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.

    Summary

    Booker likes — has always liked — for things to be smooth, easy. Likes to tip well and drink in the sun and sleep late, likes to while away the eternity with which he has been saddled in calm and quiet. If he has to live forever, why live forever with a gun in hand? But, then, sa famille.

    Sebastien Le Livre, trying to die and to think of positive things in one breath, aware of the irony and unable to change it. Please heed the depression and suicidal thoughts tags, and take care of yourselves.

    Summary

    Here’s how shit was supposed to play out:

    Ingerlund ditches Du Bois. Du Bois tanks. Du Bois meets Vicquemare. Vicquemare tanks. Vicquemare ditches Du Bois. Vicquemare gets better. Du Bois heals, or doesn’t, or moves to Graad, or paints an exterior with his interior, some Saturday evening, when the wind smells of ice. Anyway it’s not Jean’s problem.

    Instead, here’s how it’s gone:

    Harry, one month sober. Harry’s hundred days. Harry’s brand-new optimism. Harry’s brand-new partner.

    Summary

    "It's always cold, here. It follows you everywhere. Everyone eats their lunch in their God damn boots and jackets, every day. He's always hated the cold. It seems to sap the life from you. With every year that passes, it seems to affect him more and more...

    If you were to ask him what compelled him to join in on an archeological mission to the middle of nowhere where all it ever did was snow and frost and thunder, he wouldn't have been able to give you an answer to save his life. 

    Well, no, alright. He'd gone because he'd found out his old friend Montgomery Scott had been stationed there. He'd gone to save his own soul, if not to prevent Scott from getting himself killed. Not that that's a good answer. By all rights, it shouldn't justify this. He should've known what's good for him and stayed on Earth and shuffled papers around until he fell over and died, according to just about everyone else. But he couldn't stand that, could he. He had to go."

    Summary

    Theseus wants so badly to do this right, to have someone who will look up to him, who might even love him unconditionally. The thought makes his chest tight with hope and fear.

    There, cradled in her arms, is a tiny bundle wrapped in a soft blue blanket.

    "Come here, love," his mother calls, her voice hoarse but warm. "Come meet Newton."

    or:
    a brief look into the unexpected parallels of theseus and newt's childhoods, and the question of luck
