    Summary

    AKA: Beckett Mariner's Guide to Scoring With Hot Space Babes

    When she learns that Rutherford is crushing hard on Tendi, Mariner selflessly takes it upon herself to coach him in the fine arts of courtship. She even drafts Boimler to help her out, though for some reason he's less than enthusiastic about the whole project.

    Cue movie nights, flirting "workshops", and 400-year-old mixtapes - not to mention melees, arguments, and maybe a minor shipwide crisis. This is definitely going to end well.

    Summary

    "How little it mattered when the moment finally came. I could see Estraven’s body had taken a shape that would suit mine. Relief, I suppose, was the strongest emotion I felt, but even that was overblown. All this time I had built it into something it was not, had worried myself into needless fretting. Finally I had my answer as to what Estraven was: he was mine."

    Yes, it is another Gobrin Ice Missing Scene. Set in chapter 16 directly after the Harhahad Thanern journal entry after Estraven writes "My own feelings were complex, and we let the matter drop." Me: No They Didn't <3

    Summary

    “A lack of feeling is a symptom of freeze,” he said, still grimacing. “Perhaps... well.” It was not like him to mince words, and I slowly began to worry. Perhaps this was some attempt at shifgrethor, or another incomprehensible Gethenian ritual which he assumed I knew and at which I could only balk. “To know anything of the intensity of it, I'll have to unfreeze it. To keep it from dying, if it hasn't. I've wasted enough time already; lie down.”
