    Summary

    Not since Loveday have you spent your days in such languid repose, no Resurrection Beast nipping at your heels or intelligence to smuggle, not even a cohort admiral to flatter and wile. No, instead you lay yourself out in utmost comfort and read aloud the absolutely terrible romance books to an increasingly flustered Gideon Nav.


    Cytherea Loveday has a well honed plan for decimating these would-be-Lyctors kettles in Canaan House. Then, she meets Gideon Nav.

    Summary

    Successful author David Copperfield receives a letter from an admirer, which sparks a long and increasingly emotionally involving correspondence. But there are things it's easier to lie about at a distance, especially if the person you're lying to is desperate to help you by deluding himself.

    Summary

    “It’s a pity all these Greek stories are so tragic,” said Robert, making a quick glance around the room. They were alone, and he linked his arm with Jonah’s, and Jonah let him. “We’ll do better, won’t we?”

    Jonah nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Apollo’s face, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

    Summary

    Elias sides open his closet door and looks inside, a quick look back at Jon as if to appraise him for size again, and then selects something from the very back with a small nod.

    “These were a gift from… an old friend,” Elias says, looking down at the pieces he’s selected before holding them out to Jon to examine. There’s a little amused smile on his face, like this is a joke that Jon is not in on, and Jon is grateful to have the pieces of clothing to hold so that he can hide himself behind them and not think about how intensely out of place he feels.

    Summary

    Basira closed her eyes and did not consider any similarities between this hypothetical person and Jonathan Sims.

    The silence sat between them, grew from embryo to adulthood, probably encountered something terrible and with too many eyes or limbs or worms, and died a disgusting death in the manner of any previous employee of the Magnus Institute.

    ‘Do you want,’ she kept from gritting her teeth, ‘… to talk about it?”

    Jon pines, Basira watches and wishes he wasn't doing it in front of her. (JonElias Week 2023, day 7: Missed Connection)

    Summary

    [Taylor opened the paper envelop -revealing what seemed to be a long, hand-written document- and went through it as someone who knew its content by heart: “Amongst the more… bureaucratic details in his will, Mr. Magnus added a few personal ones of great relevance, and in particular he described at length the measures and procedures for his future burial. Those, and a comprehensive list of all the people invited to the function.”
    The unequivocal look Taylor gave him only served to fuel Jonathan’s disbelief: “I apologize, sir, I must have misinterpreted your words: are you perchance saying that you have come all this way, from London, just to invite me to your Founder’s funeral?”
    Taylor’s unnerving smile didn’t waver: “Of course not, that would have been incredibly ridiculous of me. I have come all this way, from London, to make sure you would come to our Founder’s funeral”]

    Or: when one William Taylor, newly appointed Head of the Magnus Institute, knocks at Jonathan Fanshawe's door and invites him to Jonah Magnus' funeral, Jonathan thinks it could be a way to finally bring closure to a part of his life he has never really managed to leave behind. Turns out, he is wrong. Terribly, horribly wrong.

    Summary

    Sustineo. Cupio. Accipio.

     

    The road to the Panopticon is paved with good intentions. But as history cannot but repeat itself, and knowledge of past mistakes is ill-suited to prevent newer ones, the choices one makes are often less virtuous, and more desperate. All in all, sometimes it’s really just bad luck.

    Or: A love story of sorts, told through one pilgrimage, one biography, two timelines, three acts, fifteen Fears and, of course, exactly forty tango figures.

    "I do this for you," Armand assures him once again, "as I do everything."

    Louis flashes one of the most bitter smiles Armand has ever seen on a pair of lips. Only one of, though. He's seen so very many things. "Now, where have I heard that before?"

    Armand plays the good nurse, in an attempt to save Louis from himself.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Armand allows himself to indulge, to imagine a past in which his decisions needed not be as rushed, where so much blood needed not be spilt.

    In such instances, he wonders, what if he had not followed through with the trial? What if he had spared Claudia and Madeleine? What if he had peacefully stepped down from his position as coven leader? What if Louis still loved him?
