Summary
Her mouth tastes like gin.
Or, more specifically, it tastes like fire. It tastes like the open road. It tastes like the way that life feels when you’re on the run and you’re blasting through what’s left of your wallet before the police catch up with you.
(After they take care of a little pest problem in Port Townsend, Shelby and Maren go on the run together. This is the best decision that either of them have ever made.)

Summary
They land at the entrance to the abandoned swimming pool- Monty’s hidden little treasure.
It’s empty, of course. Dry as a fucking bone. And there isn’t much rubble in it, especially compared to the other places that Monty explored here in town to find a place to stay over the summer before he could move into the dorms.
Monty knows that other people find places like this creepy, that they don’t like the crows that ring the property, that they find all abandoned places as something to be avoided, that they can’t see the beauty in them, but he himself doesn’t know how not to.
Some things don’t need to be made over. Some things don’t need to be made beautiful.
Sometimes things are more beautiful when they are haunted. When they remain, despite it all, despite everyone who wanted them to pretty themselves up.
Through a hole in the ceiling, you can see the stars.
The moonlight is illuminating Charles and Edwin in the sort of silvery, ethereal spotlight that photographers would kill to capture.
(When Monty gets to college, he gets a makeover for his terrible glasses and gets taken to a party to meet cute boys- but perhaps a makeover isn't exactly what he needs to start anew.)

Summary
"Why haven't you found a place to stay?" Monty asks.
“Oh, I’m just gonna sleep here overnight,” Charles says, nothing but unflagging optimism, as if it isn’t Christmas Eve and he’s in an airport half a world away from home. “Doesn’t seem like much work. I've slept in worse places, and if the plane gets postponed to tomorrow, then I'll already be here. Easy as that, innit?"
Something in Monty’s chest crunches for Charles. Charles Rowland, the source of sunlight in the middle of the wintry dark, doesn't deserve to get stuck on a hard airport chair on one of the coldest nights of the year.
And so, without even thinking it through, Monty says: “Y’know, we can likely get a pullaway bed in our hotel room.”
Charles’ jaw drops as Edwin’s eyebrow shoots to the ceiling. “You don’t even know me.”
And Charles does have a point there. Of course he does. He is very much a stranger to both Monty and Edwin.
But no one deserves to spend the holiday alone.
(When a snow delay hits on Christmas Eve, pilot Monty ends up in a hotel room with the fight attendant that he's had a crush on for years and the hot, lonely passenger with nowhere else to go. Maybe they might just have a holiday miracle.)

Summary
Monty has been dating Charles and Edwin for a couple of months when he decides he wants to learn more about the place where he came from. The place that he tried so hard to connect to on his own, in what scant time he had outside of his mother's wishes and whims.
But with a mother who refused to take him to the synagogue, who did not care about letting him attend services-
Now in his twenties, only a year out from under her roof, Monty's siddur is worn in, but his mouth has forgotten what Hebrew he once tried to learn. His prayers do not feel natural from his own lips.
But he comes from a people that fist fought angels and called out HaShem, and he will not let his fucking mother get in the way of him getting to connect with that.
So with Charles and Edwin’s encouragement, he screws his courage to the sticking place and goes to the local synagogue, and he asks.
Most people wouldn't expect a woman like Crystal Palace to become a rabbi. Ready to debate and challenge HaShem and marry a woman and admit her mistakes and flaws and try to become better.
But that's what makes her great at this.

Summary
They say there are demons in the hills above Townsend.
Creatures with blinding red eyes and claws. Creatures that crave young flesh, creatures that feast on the wants and desires of the youths that are sacrificed upon the altar.
That might be true for some demons. That might be false for others.
There are only a few things that can be guaranteed: that they require sacrifices every two years, to guarantee the harvest for the proceeding years, and that everyone who looks upon them turns to dust.
That’s why the sacrifices have to be blindfolded, after all- to protect their eyes from seeing that which will doom them to the same price that all men must pay eventually.
Ash to ash, dust to dust, the priest says in the middle of the church, right in front of the bone-stacked chapel that contains the most sacred altar in their community.
And yes, Monty is the town’s next sacrifice to the demons that descend every two years to sink their teeth into virginal flesh.
(Monty is being offered up as a sacrifice for the demons that can bless the town. But things are not always as they seem, and demons are known as fallen angels for a reason, aren't they?)

Summary
It’s a bit of an unconventional thing, being one boy in two bodies.
Well, it is truly one body that shifts between two. Always half-stuck between them, a bit bird, a bit boy, a broken leg in boy form, a broken wing in bird form, always cursed to never be quite enough in either.
Monty survived. Monty survived in this strange place that is between life and death, between bird and boy, and it took ages to figure out how a body like his works. How a body like his, never quite one thing or another, is able to be.
Some days, he still doesn’t quite feel like he’s entirely one thing. Like he’s entirely himself. Like he’s entirely all the way there.
But other days, he gets to have moments like this. Moments where he is curled up in Charles or Edwin’s lap in the swing on the rooftop of the Agency, because he cannot fly anymore, because he cannot run, either, but as Edwin said as Charles was putting together the enchanted swing, both of them determined to craft a place where Monty could fly in some small way, “You still deserve a place to feel the wind through your wings, do you not?”

Summary
It’s not a hard bargain to make.
It would never be a hard bargain to make.
Himself, or them. Himself, or their lives.
His memories, or their hearts.
The demon asks for a memory of the person you love most. The person that makes you the happiest. The person who it would most devastate you to give up.
The initial trade is an easy one; one memory apiece, as long as the circle holds. One happy memory. (The happiest memory, some might say.) That’s it.
Monty offers up a memory of their first kisses, that giggling trip to a playground in London in order to “rewrite bad memories.” (What a mess, now.) Crystal offers up the day that they’d saved Niko, and she was finally able to wrap her arms around Niko’s shoulders for the first time in over a year. Edwin offers up his memory of escaping hell the second time around with Monty and Charles and collapsing into their arms on the floor of Crystal’s bedroom. Niko offers up the memory of them all at movie night, her snuggled into Crystal’s arms, Crystal kissing her forehead. Charles offers up his memory of the last date that he and Monty and Edwin went on.
Except…there’s a trick to it.
