    Summary

    "It would be weeks before she had made up for the ground she had just lost, in terms of her mental health, in pushing past the bad memories and the bad place.

    "As for Burnscar? There would be no helping that girl."

    Summary

    "We killed each other. Many times."

    July, 1099. The First Crusade. The Siege of Jerusalem. Yusuf is trapped in the city, a volunteer soldier to help defend it against invading Crusaders. Nicoló arrived in June with a group of Genoese sailors, a volunteer priest-turned-soldier to claim Jerusalem in a holy war. Their roles in this conflict would be easier if they could sleep well, but both have uncomfortable dreams, dreams of strangers, dreams that must be an omen, drawing them together. Perhaps to kill each other, or perhaps for some other, unexplainable purpose.

    (Or: another big JoeNicky origin story slow burn.)

    Summary

    It wasn't so bad being dead, Jean-Pierre decided eventually. He didn’t have any responsibilities, no daily drudgery to struggle with. He got to travel the world unseen, watching the years slip by as an invisible voyeur. That was nice.

    Every ghost, however, needed something that tied them to the world of the living, something that kept them tethered. It could be a crumbling manse, a street corner, a train car, or a favorite childhood toy. It was always something of great importance to the dead, even if it wasn’t immediately apparent why.

    Jean-Pierre haunted a person.

    His father.

    Summary

    “Why aren’t you rowing?” A voice, coldly accusing, called out behind him. It came as if from someone sitting at the back of the boat. Nicky recognized it, but stayed gazing forwards at the horizon. Dark clouds gathered, blotchy and heavy, as if they were weighing down the entire sky until it sagged against the ocean.

    “There’s no point.” Nicky confessed, gentle in spite of the bite in the other’s voice. “I am not going to outrun the storm.”

    “‘No point’.” A bitter scoff. “Easy to claim for the man with nothing of his own at stake.”

    “We looked for centuries.”

    “And I drowned for longer.”

    Nicky closed his eyes. The wind was picking up, rippling through his hair and clothes. The boat listed under its force, and the waves were going to undoubtedly follow. Behind him, Quynh stayed silent.

    “Ok.” Nicky said finally, quiet acquiescence. “Guide me, and I’ll go on.”

    “Row.”
