Summary
“Sebastian,” he asks the demon, “do you have a conscience?”
“Young master,” Sebastian says, “idle discourse with a lowly servant, such as myself, is hardly the best use of your time, this evening. It is already far later than your usual bedtime, and you need your rest.”
Ciel again breathes in the steam and tries to maintain his patience. Sebastian is just trying to provoke him. Then, quietly, Ciel replies, “Don’t be so evasive. I thought we’d moved past that.”
The butler’s smile falters, and his eyes settle on Ciel. “Ah, so it’s that sort of night.”
Ciel wonders how much of Sebastian is more-or-less human.

Summary
“Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”
“Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”
“That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.

Summary
A horrible detail persists in Yanqing’s memory: The faint bruise on Jing Yuan’s neck, right along the slender tendon in Jing Yuan’s otherwise strong neck, the perfect shape for someone's mouth to gently bite.
Prequel to after dawn and after death.

Summary
“But you made them.” Like it's that simple. “Can’t you just-” Collei struggles. “You- if you never made them, then they wouldn’t be not nice to us. Then it would just be the Doctor, and-”
It would still be a shit situation, but at least it would be better, with less Dottores, less fucked up minds like him running around.Like it was that simple.
“If Dottore wants his segments, he will end up getting them.” Scaramouche tells her plainly, because the world never was. “It doesn’t really matter if it's through me, or someone else.”(Alternatively: The creation of Dottore's clones is a very hands on experience for Scaramouche. It makes things complicated.)

“I meant what I said,” Kafka replies casually. “Not everything is about you. I could just be here to get my brunch, minding my own business."
“You really expect me to believe that?” Himeko says hotly. “How awfully convenient that you were sitting outside the one restaurant where I was on my first date in months.”
Kafka shrugs. “Coincidences can be so funny when they want to be, can’t they?”
—
Or, Himeko tries to move on from a volatile relationship by going on dates again. Kafka is never more than a few steps behind.

Summary
Kunikuzushi removes the bandages from his injection site, taking with it some stray hairs that got stuck in the weak adhesive. Out from his thigh radiates masculine ichor, carried by linseed oil. For several beats beats, his blinks and pulse match pace, but the synchronicity falters when his heart relaxes. The few hours after taking testosterone are almost peaceful.
Through the brittle glass of his window comes the slow, mechanical drawl of an unmaintenanced car parallel parking. He doesn’t need to pull back the curtain to know she’s here.
The screen updates arrhythmically. Kunikuzushi looks to the anonymous messages that drift in like litter.
“Godspeed,” he says mockingly to himself.
With the help of a kind stranger, Kunikuzushi becomes a man.

Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.
