    Summary

    Joe Jameson is a good-but-not-great player for the Ottawa Centaurs who has a maybe-kind-of-five-year-plan for telling his teammates his biggest secret.

    Then Ilya Rozanov gets traded to the Centaurs and throws a wrench in Joe’s whole plan.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    After the Boston loss, Rozanov invites some of the Boston players and the Centaurs players to the bar down the street from the rink. Rozanov buys the first round, in high spirits even after their loss.

    That’s one of the things Joe didn’t expect from Rozanov: he doesn’t seem to get angry after their losses the way Erickson always did. They lose a game and he gives a little pep talk about what they need to focus on for next game, then moves on. No shouting, no finger-pointing, no bitching and moaning about their terrible team. He’s not sure if Rozanov has always been that kind of Captain, but Joe thinks that he might have been.

    Summary

    After a losing game, Cliff ends up at a bar with a melancholy Ilya Rozanov, but it's clear Rozanov is upset about more than just the game. Cliff attempts to offer emotional support and then some relationship advice, even though he's not stellar at either.

    At least Rozanov is drinking this one more slowly. Savoring it. Or at least letting himself breathe between sips. He’s staring down at the table, eyes dark and red-rimmed in the dim bar light, tongue playing at his downturned, chapped lips.

    Cliff watches as Rozanov thumbs across a name carved deep into the table.

    Even upside down, the name JANE is easy to read from under Rozanov’s touch.

    Ah, Cliff thinks. Fucking obviously. He should’ve seen it before.

    Summary

    “It’s not a sext,” Hayden says, frowning.

    “Come on, that’s obviously a sext,” Jackie says. They’re both on the couch, staring down at his phone, at Shane’s text and the swift sorry man mistext that followed. “What else could it be?”

    “I dunno, maybe he’s talking about his fucking bird seed diet”—

    “Swear jar!”

    —“his ducking bird seed diet. Or he’s giving someone nutrition advice.”

    “Seriously, babe?”

    Shane keeps accidentally texting Hayden when he means to text Ilya. Hayden can’t help but get a bit suspicious. Or: Hollanov, through Hayden’s eyes.

    So, yeah. From anyone else, that’s a sext. But Hayden just can’t wrap his head around that idea, because Shane is—well, put it this way: in the summer, Shane had texted him 🍑🥵, and when Hayden had called him to say what the fuck, dude?, Shane had said—totally sincere—“There’s fresh peaches at the farmer’s market in Ottawa right now, Hayd, they’re incredible. I’m gonna buy like two dozen.”

    The drinks are the same all year round, but without her, the taste is bitter and burns down the throat. When she pours the moonshine, so they tell him, they can taste the stars and the moon and the sunshine. She opens a bottle, and they can smell flowers and feel morning dew.

    It does sound just like Persephone, handing out gifts like that. Believing she's being kind, when all she achieves is give people futile hope, a sad glimpse at the world above and things they can't ever really have again.

    "Annatar?" He spoke quietly, as if shattering the silence was unforgivable.

    Dull eyes flicked to him from sunken hollows that seeped an inky liquid. The figure did not move. "Tyelpë," he croaked. There was no surprise in it. "Come to yell at me again? You don't usually call me that anymore."

    "No, I don't--I--" The bottom had fallen out of his stomach, and he wasn't sure how to go on holding himself together. "I called you that to the end."

    Summary

    "Mm," he mumbled into Annatar's shoulder. The warmth was distracting, heat rushing through his abdomen at the soft, unmarked skin. He wanted to mark it like Annatar was marking up his own life, carve his imprint until neither of them could escape the consequences. "I suffered too much politics this afternoon. Arguing. It felt like repeating something I've lived before."

    .

    Or, Celebrimbor discovers Annatar's identity on his own, long before any harm has been done. He is handling this perfectly. Clearly. There's no need to discuss it.

    "Eager, Tyelpe?" he asked, amusement lacing his every word, but Celebrimbor barely cared under the heady rush of arousal and control. He knew more than Annatar for once. And yet the Maia was still so willing to pretend to be more embodied than he was, even though Celebrimbor had never truly cared. He wanted to do it for him. Commitment, whether to deception or love, was commitment to him all the same. Annatar could have chosen anyone, any method, any level of casual companionship. He chose to go beyond what Celebrimbor had ever indicated or desired just to seduce him. What could be better proof that this were real?

    “Ilya,” Shane said in the way that meant shut up. Ilya shut up. Shane let go of his hair, slid his hand down to Ilya’s cheek, kissed him hard and sweet. “I want you.” Another kiss. “To fuck me.” Another kiss. “In your bed.” Another kiss. Shane pulled back and looked at him for a moment, cheeks flushed, lips red, eyes gleaming infinitely dark. So beautiful. “That’s what I want. Ilyusha.”

    “Shi Mei,” he says, slowly, “did... something happen? At Guyueye?”

    In his arms, Shi Mei goes still. “...what?”

    The confusion isn’t even an act. Sure, he slipped, but he’d recovered, hadn’t he? He’d gone pliant. He’d been normal enough, or so he thought. Nobody’s ever questioned it before.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Let’s change tack. A ProPublica journalist attended the 2024 lottery—

    Not “attended.” She infiltrated it. The lottery is a private event, and lurking—actually lurking overnight in the post office, so she could snoop on good honest townsfolk—I call it disgusting.

    There was an international outcry after the ProPublica report was published.

    Because people had an extremely biased and incomplete view of what happened, because if you’re hiding inside a mailbag you’re not going to get a full picture.

    Summary

    It’s as Shen Qingqiu crushes the last little fluttering Iridescent Gem Beetle that the mother decides to introduce herself by burrowing up out of the earth like a cicada the size of an elephant. He just barely has time to resign himself to an even more exhausting fight than the last one - with no rest point in between to chug stamina potions or anything! Honestly, what poor game design! - when the stranger appears.

    He charges into the scene out of nowhere like an absolute bullshit deus ex machina, all dark, flowing hair and robes, whirling around to stab at the Mother Beetle with a gleaming white sword, making it screech and rear back in pain. Seriously, Shen Qingqiu feels like he’s suddenly trapped in a video game cutscene introducing the new companion! Where’s the background music and camera close up? Who is this guy?

    -

    Shen Qingqiu happens to meet a mysterious stranger on the road, but he surely isn't important or relevant to the plot in the slightest.

    “Lord Shen?” Chai Dexuan says, concerned. He doesn’t seem to be eating his own meal, too focused on Shen Qingqiu. “Is the food alright?”

    “Oh, yes, it’s very good,” Shen Qingqiu lies. How could he possibly have the heart to tell this well intentioned young man that, even though the meal he’d made had smelled very appetizing just a few moments ago, now that he’s had some it actually tastes… quite bland? “This master is just realizing that he really isn’t very hungry. Just this much was enough, thank you.”

    Desperate for answers, Murtagh seeks out the library. He pushes past the startled clerks and searches the registries of names known to the Empire. He scans the ledgers for Eragon.

    Nothing. No human records, no history or etymology, anything that might reveal the mystery behind the man in his dream.

    He saw T’Pring looking at her body after Spock left and before Stonn arrived and thinking for a moment that she had died this time. It was over, finally. Perhaps in her next life she would be born the wife of someone who would share a life with her and kiss her skin as if her body were a precious thing and they would be of one mind as they walked in the sunlight, careless of who saw them together. Perhaps in her next life she would sleep in a patch of warmth undisturbed for a thousand years, whole and untouched by anyone. She would live selfishly and without concern as animals did - no longer half Vulcan and half Wife.

    Summary

    She twisted in the sheets. If I hadn’t known she was sick I might have called it writhing. Her body undulated in discomfort and she let out a bevy of soft little whimpers and moans. The discomfort of her illness must have been considerable to provoke such a display. I was sure she was awake but she did not acknowledge me, so I stood at a parade rest, knowing she would address me when she felt strong enough to do so. 

     

    This went on for several minutes.

She informed me that she did not want to fuss with my boots and pushed me off of herself quite forcefully. She stood and moved behind me. I was pleased, at least, to see she was now feeling well enough to stand.
