    Summary

    The first thing that people notice when they look at Ilya is the way that the word disappointment carves itself in jagged, angry letters along his jawline. This is not the worst mark he bears—it’s just the most visible.

    (In which the most hurtful things your soulmate has thought about themself appear as words cut into your body. Shane and Ilya find reasons to love each other anyway.)

    Summary

    Cody picked up the voice comm with bad grace. It wasn’t his standard-issue device. “Hello, dear,” he said, sounding exasperated.

    Rex blinked, because Cody was speaking Mando’a, which meant Wooley had done a double take but Anakin hadn’t even looked up from the holoscreen.

    Obi-Wan goes undercover. Cody takes some calls. These two facts are absolutely not related.

    Summary

    “I’ve covered every inch of the Underworld by now,” Zagreus says. “So, if there’s someone you’re looking for, I can probably help.”

    Cody smiles at him again—an awful, pained smile that cuts like the wings of a soul catcher’s butterflies—and says, “Thanks. But if I haven’t found him yet, it’s because he doesn’t want to be found.”

    Or: Zagreus finds another lost soul in Elysium, and he does what he does best.

    Summary

    And then it hits Uther, like a fork of lightning: "Fine, then, no Merlin for a week."

    "Oh, no," one of the knights, Sir Leon, gasps.

    Arthur, whose jaw has been hanging open this entire time, finally regains his abilities of speech. "What?" he says. "No Merlin?"

    +++

    As punishment for Arthur's disobedience, Uther bans all contact with his manservant for a week.

    It works out about as well as you could expect.
