Summary
The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. — Genesis 32:22-24
The night had come over Mahanayim, and it had come like the hawks, gliding on the wind — the warm wind that whispers about the Mount of Gilead and caresses the waves of the river Jordan, a wind that, like hawks, made Jacob look high above and inspect the sparse blinking stars, that breathed in the noses of his host as they approached Canaan.

Summary
Cyril steps into the cone of shadow that the great window’s curtain provides him, a poor excuse for a hiding spot, just right to be perhaps seen by the bold but not heard by the nosy. In the waves of velvet that half embrace him, he beckons the Harlequin closer, where the beams of moonlight wash out the colours.
*
Orlais salivates over the Inquisition, attempting to wrest its fate from Fereldan demands and to absorb it within the Empire. Duke Cyril de Montfort, member of the Council of Heralds, is entrusted with the task of shaping politics and making Orlesian ambitions come true. No one can blame him if, in the meantime, he salivates over Inquisitor Maximilian Trevelyan a tiny little bit too. (Qunari also happen.)
Or, the Orlesian perspective of Trespasser. -

Summary
Orsino has survived the fight in the Gallows. Now he must aid his people in escaping the wrecked city, with Hawke's help, while Hawke must decide what to do with her life going in pieces. Their two paths are inextricably joined.
*
« The Commander kept heaping burdens upon burdens on my back; it is a miracle that I didn’t snap under the weight. She hoped I would, certainly. They all hoped I would. We all have only so much strength to keep going — the sudden and brave battle is easier to win or lose than the long, wearing stalemate. And that is what my life has been, from the moment I stepped into the First Enchanter role. An impasse. But I cannot set it aside, neither the slow losing fight nor the burden. Rare is the person who could bear to be so untethered, even after all is said and done. » -

Summary
It is Fajr, the dawn prayer. Lawrence sleeps.
Dawn in Paris is often a foggy matter: the hours in which it struggles to bring its diffused glow through the bedroom curtains drag on with difficulty. These most holy, most beloved hours grind forward until the light is grey and everywhere desaturated.
It does not feel any different than almost all the steps Faisal has had to take in this country.*
Lawrence returns to Paris after the death of his father. His words to Gertrude Bell, his loyalties, and Faisal's anger and feelings of betrayal must all come to a reckoning. -

Summary
I had left Rome as one of the tresviri capitales, a happy man though disgraced. As much as a son of the Caecilii Metelli who was to precede his father to Hither Spain for a propraetorship could be called so. It had been a discreet exit from the stage, at a time when the guarantee of civilised proceedings was still as flimsy as fine Nineveh cottons. At least it had been so close to the end of my mandate that my dismissal from office and Father’s rescue in extremis didn’t gain quite so much notice.

Decius Caecilius Metellus returns home.

Nero by DelleVigne

Summary
Part Verdi, Part Schiller, All Problem. A thousand thanks to @OneInSpats for the read-though and for the immortal words 'Peaches are sexy, eye removal is not!'
‘What kind of man says ‘I would have you by my side’ after I told him half the world curses his name? That his hand sows nothing but death?’ Then Philip obscures both his thoughts and the light in his vision like an eclipse, mouth eager as it seeks his own and takes the air out of it.
