Summary
I was twenty-seven when my mother died, and twenty-nine when I held the funeral, because I was too stubborn to do it until I knew I wouldn't be the only one there. She had pretended to love hundreds of people. I was determined that at least two of us would pretend to love her back.

Summary
"We worked as caravan guards before we came to Baghdad," Nicolò said, which was true enough, as far as it went. His hand rested easily on the pommel of his sword and he was smiling, a faint and casual enjoyment of his own assurance, and Yusuf loved him desperately.
"Just like old times," Yusuf agreed, and tossed his bag over to the handlers on the barge.
Nicolò looked over at him, his face suddenly, awfully, blank, and that was the end of that.
In the wake of the Frankish conquest of Tyre, Joe and Nicky leave their settled home in Baghdad in order to help a friend. Naturally, things escalate from there.

Summary
"Why Russandol, though?" Fingon said. It was just Coppertop, which was accurate—Maedhros was very redheaded—but not exactly exciting, or adventurous, or romantic.
"Or, I mean, Russo, if you like," said Maedhros, which was worse, because that was just calling him Red. You might as well say Ginger. Extremely unromantic.

"I was just wondering what snacks or sweets Hanguang-Jun prefers with his tea."
Wei Wuxian laughs, opens his mouth, and then has the horrible realization that he really, truly, doesn't know.
It takes a moment to sink in. He's known Lan Zhan ever since he was fifteen, had saved the Cultivation world together with him twice over, is actually married to the man, and Wei Wuxian doesn't know what his favorite tea snack is.

Summary
“You don’t think that’s strange?” he says. His voice, his new voice, is familiar now. But sometimes it almost startles him, hearing it come from his mouth. “It’s been nine months. I’ve used them almost every day. I should know how long these legs are.”
(Or: Wei Wuxian has a plan to train Mo Xuanyu's body. The results aren't quite what he expects.)

Summary
Wang Zhi looked back -- more men. It was blocked. He lectured himself. He truly did deserve death for his carelessness.
Incognito, Tang Fan had said. Clearly not enough if they were being targeted like this. The men at the ends of the alley advanced in.
“Alright Huang Zhifeng,” Wang Zhi muttered, voice dripping irony over Tang Fan's pseudonym, “how are you going to write your way out of this one?”

Summary
My dearest Water Buffalo,
Three times I have written this letter out, three times approached a crisis point, three times made provision for the outcome where I do not survive. Three times I have written this letter out, and each time I have felt the relief that comes with undoing a lie. Three times I have written this letter out and three times torn it up. One more crisis passed, one more road taken on the branching path, one more chance to do the right thing before there are no branches left on my path at all.
