Summary
Canute does whatever he can to keep Thorfinn, though it might cost him everything.
“You want to kill me now.”
The words steal his breath with their truth. Thorfinn looks at him, from under his filthy bangs, eyes piercing and bruised. Something in Canute’s chest flips over at that look, at how wounded he is. He’s broken. He’s been broken from the first moment they met, but now he’s lost even Askeladd to hold his pieces together.
“But if you fight me like this, it’s not fair. You have to wait until I get stronger. Be my guard until then, and I’ll duel you, warrior to warrior.”
Thorfinn’s gaze is unflinching. Canute reaches behind him and pulls the dagger from the folds of his fur-lined cloak. The blade is a part of Thorfinn, like the crown is a part of Canute, now. He hands it over, hilt first.
“Or, you can kill me today. Right now, right here.”

Summary
The S.S. Piffling was anchored off the coast of Brighton when they spotted him: a lone man bobbing in a garishly painted kayak that was clearly not meant for open water. He was holding an axe instead of a paddle and was bleeding rather profusely from a head wound.
“Oh, hi!” The man said, waving at them with the axe. “I think I might be dead?”
Or: Timothy Stoker confronts his future. Eric Chapman confronts his past. Everyone else is just trying to get by between potential apocalypses.
