Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

Summary
If you asked anybody in the castle right now, they’d say that Duke Nicolò did have a concubine, and his name was Yusuf al-Kaysani. Neither Yusuf nor the Duke had ever said so in so many words, of course, but it was understood. It was also untrue. The real story was much stranger.

Summary
He wants Yusuf to hold his hand again. Grab his ankle. Flick his ear. Thrust his sword into his chest and breath into his mouth.
Yet, they have the long ocean of eternity ahead of them. These whims are nothing but a swell under their ship: gone as soon as they come. Nicolo knows better than to jump overboard and drown alone trying to chase them.

Summary
The lights were on.
He never left the lights on.
Nicholas drew his truncheon as he approached the house. The door was closed; though the curtains were drawn, he could see some movement -- in the kitchen, he thought. He tested the door: unlocked. He never left it unlocked. Steeling himself, he raised his truncheon and pushed up the door. "Nicholas Angel, Sandford Police!"
The large figure in his kitchen startled just as they were turning, and the aluminium roasting pan in their hands fell to the floor. "For fuck's sake, Nicholas, you made me drop the potatoes!"

Summary
"Do you think we'll dream of each other, now?" Nicolò asks unexpectedly. "Like we do those two women?"
It startles a real laugh out of Yusuf. "Who knows? Sometimes, Nicolò, I think I must have dreamed you entirely."
After escaping the fall of Jerusalem together, Yusuf walks away from Nicolò in order to return home and move on with his life. It works for a while. Fifteen years later, Nicolò shows up in his dreams of the two immortal women.
(In which Yusuf needs time to come to terms with destiny, and Nicolò to make peace with himself, before they can meet on equal ground.)

Padmé wakes to the back of Obi-Wan’s head, his hair mussed and his arms spread, outstretched over her knees as though to shield her from all that would come. (Too late, Padmé thinks, feeling the dull ache around her throat, where phantom hands tightened. Much too late for that now.)

Summary
Fili gives a little snort, as if he doesn't believe that, but he doesn't press any further, either. Instead, he hands the crumpled note back through the bars and says, "Burn that, will you? And..." Another moment's pause; then the dwarf seems to make up his mind. "And come back and speak to me, if—"
"If I hear any more word of your uncle," Legolas finishes for him.
Fili grins, teeth glinting white in the darkness. "If you've a mind to," he says, "news or no news."
