    Summary

    Fencing is one of the few things that has been suggested to Vimes by Lady Sybil which he has categorically vetoed. He has always been vaguely aware of the idea that exercise and adrenaline can be good for blowing off certain kinds of steam – and to be fair, throwing himself in the general direction of armed criminals had been almost as much of a recurring habit as the drinking prior to his marriage. He understands, hypothetically, why she wants him to give it a go. It makes a certain amount of sense. It's just that fencing is not, as far as he can tell, dangerous, and most of the techniques used seem far more concerned with showing off than with practicality.
    It’s a good idea, it's just the damned principle of the thing!

    OR:
    Vetinari catches Vimes off guard with an invitation to fence with him on a slow day, and Vimes has a much better time of it than he was expecting.

    Summary

    Quite by accident, Vimes finds Vetinari in a bit of a predicament as he negotiates with some "foreign ambassadors". Unfortunately, it's not the sort of predicament that one necessarily escapes unscathed. Vetinari is predictably Vetinari about it all, and Vimes just doesn't hold with that sort of thing.

    (In which Noel comes home early to find Arthur staring down the barrel of a gun.)

    Summary

    Some months after the events of Red Hook, a sense of normalcy has returned to Noel's life. He lives with the people who he cares about, he does work that matters, and he's no longer in constant fear for his life. Things are stable for the first time in who knows how long -
    That is, until he opens the door to find the King in Yellow, naked and human, sitting on his welcome mat instead of the morning paper.
