    Summary

    There was a girl back in the Akademiya. Odd, that she was so integral to his expulsion, and yet Zandik could not remember her name. He barely remembered her face. He remembered what she looked like when he cut her open at the picnic – the horror so fleeting, how her mouth slanted and froze there, like it intended to slide off her face. She’d thought he was handsome and interesting. He hadn’t cared if she thought he was the ugliest creature Irimsul ever recorded, truthfully. He just wanted to know what it looked like to see someone’s insides, how long it took for them to cool from the unyielding grip of death.

    He cared if this stranger thought he was handsome.

    “Do you trust me, Veksel?” He asked at last.

    And Feofan smiled at him, glitter in those spellbinding eyes. “Not even slightly.”

    ---

    Zandik is not certain he loves. But he is certain he knows what he wants -- and what all versions of him have in common.

    Summary

    The first thing Feofan saw upon opening his eyes was… black roses.

    A thick bouquet of them, hovered right in front of his face. He dragged his gaze away from the flowers, upward to meet the red eyes that had been haunting his stay in Sumeru.

    “You’ll be scheduled for surgeries in four days. For your extreme case, the success rate is laughably small—small enough that I’d ask The Tsaritsa to write me an eulogy right now if I were you.” Zandik smiled faintly. “Then, after the surgery fails, you will be in a state of coma for a day or two or, if you’re unlucky, three.”

    “So, chairman…” The bouquet was gently put on Feofan’s lap, right next to the elixir. “Because I am too poor to book a flight to Snezhnaya and attend your funeral, let me pay my utmost respect to you right here, right now.”

    Or—when the sick, joyless, closeted Chairman of the Northland Bank meets a mad scientist short on funding.
    Or—them, in another life.

    Summary

    Pantalone knew obsession well.

    Thus, it wasn't hard for him to see it in Il Dottore. It spilled out of the man in jagged movements, in maniacal chuckles that tended to follow exceptionally bold claims and dangerous theories. It clung to him during Harbinger meetings, when he was forced out of his lab and often present only physically, his mask a perfect veil for his scattered thoughts.

    Maybe Pantalone was just greedy enough to take it for himself.

    Summary

    "The only way I'm better than your previous dead subordinates is the fact that I'm still alive. And I haven’t disappointed you."

    "Yet."

    "No," Feofan insists. "I won't."

    At twenty, Feofan loses everything he has ever worked for. In the aftermath, he meets the Second of the Fatui Harbingers who makes an exception.

    (This should not be perceived as a good thing.)

    Summary

    “I have a proposal for you,” Dottore says.

    Pantalone swirls the wine in his glass, waiting a moment to see if he follows up with more substantial details on that vague declaration. “And does this proposal necessitate coming onto this trip, rather than submitting the usual forms to my office?”

    “It does, particularly as it pertains to the matter of my will.”

    ---

    Precisely three months after the unfortunate incident on his life, it’s time for Pantalone to get back to field work.

    A matter involving poisoned Fire-Water and millions of unclaimed Mora emerges in Novokitezhgrad, sending him and Dottore on a lengthy train journey to investigate.
