POV: Professor Fell | Hermetic Facility, Sub-basement, St. Thomas Hospital

He did his evening rounds at nine o'clock every night without exception, which the children had learned to track the way prisoners tracked guard rotations, counting minutes, bracing themselves before the footsteps reached the corridor.

Fell was aware of this. He had noted it in the log as a predictable stress response and had concluded it was not worth modifying, because the anticipatory cortisol spike produced interesti

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   The History of a Gamester

    POV: Cormac | Memory, then presentI am forty-one years old and I have been making the wrong bets for most of them and I understand now, in the specific way that understanding arrives when it is too late to change the things it pertains to but not too late to change what comes after, how the pattern began and what it produced and why today is the day I make the bet that matters.The beginning is Callum.Not the beginning of the problem, which is a misreading of it that I spent thirty years doing, but the actual beginning, which is that we were brothers who loved each other with the uncomplicated love of children who do not yet know that love requires work to maintain against the things that come to complicate it, and the love was real and it was the foundation of everything, and the foundation was sound.I was six when Callum was born and I spent the first years of his life in the specific relationship of an older brother to a younger one who is interesting and occasionally inconvenie

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   The Fight - The Ruined Gamester

    POV: Cormac | Rookeries, war preparationThe silver weapons are laid out on the table in the specific order that preparation requires, which is the order of access, the things you reach for first at the front and the things you reach for when the first options are gone at the back, and I have been laying them out with the attention of someone who has done this before and who knows that the quality of preparation is the quality of what comes after it.I am thinking about what I have gambled and what I have lost.This is not new thinking. It is the thinking I have been doing since the Rookeries in the first year, since the specific moment when the accumulated cost of the choices I had been making became visible in a way I could not manage my way around, and it is the thinking that produced the past two years of different choices, but it has a quality tonight that it does not always have, which is the quality of arriving at an accounting, the final addition of a long column of numbers th

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   The Aunt

    POV: Moira | Rookeries, then northern roadThe bag is already packed because I packed it three days ago, which is the specific thing you do when you are the person in the group who thinks about logistics rather than tactics, and the logistics of having a two-year-old in a city that is about to be contested by two foreign armies is straightforward, which is that the two-year-old leaves the city before the contesting begins.Cormac packed it with me. He did not say why he was helping me pack it and I did not ask why, because we have been together long enough and through enough that the things we do not need to say to each other are understood without the saying, and what the packing said, in the specific language of actions rather than words, was that he knew this was coming and that he had already made his peace with the version of it where he stays and we go.Finn is not making peace with it.He is two years old and his understanding of what is happening is the two-year-old version of

    POV: Dealer Maren | Dragon-run casino, MayfairThe casino does not close during invasions. This is a policy that has been in place since Vermithrax Consolidated acquired the building four years ago and which has been tested twice before by external crises of varying severity, and the policy has held each time because the observation underlying it is accurate, which is that people who are frightened and uncertain about outcomes that they cannot control are significantly more inclined to gamble than people who are not, and therefore the conditions that produce the highest volume of business are the conditions that most institutions treat as reasons to close.Vermithrax Consolidated is not most institutions.My name is Maren and I have been a dealer at the Consolidated's Mayfair house for two years and I have become, over those two years, the specific kind of person that working in this environment produces, which is a person who has seen enough of the way desperate people and powerful p

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   A New Epoch

    POV: Callum | East side of St. Thomas ruins, then RookeriesThe chamber is in my arms and it is intact and it is humming at its correct pitch, which is the sound I have been tracking since Isla caught it off the floor and which I have been tracking since Isla put it in my hands when the Parliamentary medics took her from me outside the east passage, and the pitch has not changed and the pitch is what I have.The medical team from Alteroni's Parliamentary guards is working on Isla against the outer wall of the building on the east side, which is the position they put her because the east side is clear and clear is what you need when you are working on someone who has taken an Hermetic offensive strike to the left side of their ribs, and I know what Hermetic offensive strikes to that area of the body cost because I have read enough of the Order's own documentation over the past three years to know the tissue damage profile, and I am not looking at Isla right now because looking at Isla

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   The Resurrection Man's Return Home

    POV: Jack | St. Thomas ruins, SouthwarkI arrive at the St. Thomas site at two fifteen in the morning and the building has the quality that buildings have when they have recently come down, which is the quality of a structure that was a structure and is now a configuration, the specific rearrangement of materials that were organized and are no longer organized, and the dust is still settling in the way that dust settles from a collapse, which is slowly and completely, covering everything in the specific uniform grey of a building that has become its own aftermath.The east side is clear. The morgue passage exit is clear. The people who came out of this building came out through the east and they are gone, which I know because I was watching from the position I have been maintaining since midnight, which is the position of the person who documents rather than participates, which is the position Silas held and which I have inherited along with everything else.I have my notebook and I h
