Summary
He presses a hand to AJ’s chest, feeling the rough fabric clinging to cold skin. Is some part of him still in there?
Samuel cannot help but wonder, dragging his palm down to the pocket where a handkerchief sticks out. A deep sea blue, a small “AJG” into the corner in white thread. Clearly something AJ had cared to preserve, despite everything.

Summary
“Where is Samuel? I haven’t seen him around the deck for a while.”
“Resting,” Margaret answers, sighing. “Thank God. I think he could do with a break. People have been…rather unreceptive to him when he talks about that strange man he met, and I think it rattled him badly, even before that–” she hesitates. She’s only just calmed John down, perhaps she should not mention this now.
“-that fog, yes,” He finishes. His voice only slightly wavers. “He’s been working non-stop once again, hasn’t he? Samuel always does throw himself into ways to help where he can.”
She can’t see the Brick Satellite that well in the daylight, but her gaze rises to where it would rest in the sky. How many bricks had Samuel laid for it, working well into the night? “Sometimes, I believe he may be the strongest of all of us,” she says. “No matter what, he stays by the sides of those he cares for, working himself to the bone to see it through. But even he needs to rest eventually.”
OR
A missing scene - what was it like, when AJ went to go find Margaret? Perhaps she was talking with a dear friend.

Summary
Dear Samuel,
I never thought I’d be able to pick up a notebook again—not after you. Nothing feels the same without you. Do you know that? Did you realize, when you made that choice, that you didn’t just end your own life but took part of mine with you?

Summary
John doesn't know what to say. The silence feels sacred, something far too important to break with useless platitudes or idle conversation. It's why he is so surprised when she finally speaks.
“Do you think Benjamin is dead too?” Rose asks, apropos of nothing, and John nearly chokes on air.
“What?”

Summary
“Elijah, look.”
There’s a clunk behind him, the sound of Elijah setting something down. He hears the other man moving to come stand beside him. He should turn and face him, but he just can’t tear his eyes away from the horizon. Soon enough, though, Elijah’s where he can see him. The other man adjusts his glasses and squints his eyes, as if that will make what’s before them make any more sense.
It won’t. Amos is sure of that. But whatever is out there is not something that either of them can ignore.
It’s clear, far too clear—impossible to miss.
Out on the horizon, there is light.
OR
Light blinds all, beaming brightly through the air!

Summary
Kal can hear cannon-fire in the distance, echoing and loud, only making his smile grow wider. Dakkar’s hands spark with Radiance, their bones faintly aglow, as he clearly struggles to call on any magic at all. His determination really is impressive, Kal will admit. But it’s to no avail. The sparks are tiny, and sputter out in the very next second.
It’s as simple as can be to walk over to where he's fallen, and lean down.

Would You Not Rather Go Out in a Flame? by AmethystUnarmed

Summary
“Would you not rather go out in a flame?” Samuel asks him. He is so eager, so genuine. He holds out his hand, certain and sure, just waiting for Benjamin to take it. Rose stands just behind his shoulder, eyes bright as stars. Both of them are golden and glowing in the lantern light.
His heart jumps to his throat.

Summary
There are other words one might use to describe Benjamin and Thomas. Words that would make Benjamin wince—too soft, too earnest, too romantic to reflect reality.
Words like lovers or partners—but partners said that tone, that particular inflection suggesting something indecent. Something unbecoming of a president and his vice president.

Summary
"So much hubbub about the power a silly piece of jewelry gives you." Kal reaches out, plucks the circlet from Dakkar's head, and places it on his own. The gold nestles neatly in his copper curls. He sits tall over Dakkar and grins, gesturing with a regal air. "Well, darling? Do you feel more subservient? Ready to cater to my every whim?"
And Dakkar—
Dakkar feels his mouth go dry.

Dakkar gives Kal a gift.
He shouldn't have.
