    Summary

    Quentin… can’t really interpret the look on Eliot’s face. He almost looks nauseated, like the news that Quentin and Alice’s relationship is over is somehow terrifying to him.
     
    “Are you okay?” he asks, and something about the way he says it almost makes Quentin start crying. This, of all things. There’s a desperation there, in the sheen of Eliot’s eyes, like the thought of Quentin not being okay is deeply, viscerally painful to Eliot somehow. As if Quentin’s ever really okay. As if he’s been okay at all recently. Ha ha. Imagine a world in which he’s okay. Poor Eliot, wanting the impossible for his friend. What a beautiful heart he has. Quentin should tell him that, maybe.

    Summary

    Quentin looks up at him thoughtfully, then kind of half-smiles. "You're the fashion expert, though," he says. "What do you think?"

    Eliot schools his face into a calm, considering expression that belies the absolute furor of hormones and panic in his brain. Finally, he says, "It suits you."

    Summary

    Time has put physical distance between Angelica and Eliza, but a summer by the lake is sure enough to remedy that- even in spite of Alexander's absence. It's a period that stretches and distorts, and Angelica is certain that nothing can ever drive them apart again. She ought to know by now that Alexander has always been an erratic force in their relationship.

    Summary

    This wasn’t By’s usual flirtation, or even his usual needling. The panic in his eyes had been quite evident by the second sentence, like he knew he was going off-script but just couldn’t stop.

    Byerly shows up drugged at Ivan’s flat. Things escalate from there.

    Summary

    “Who knows the Emperor’s mind better than his wife?” Csevet asked. She looked up at that to fix him with a pointed look, and he flushed slightly. “Well. That would be a whole other degree of scandal. They will accept thee, Csethiro. It is not permanent; they need only recognize thee as speaking for the Emperor until he is recovered.”
    “Thou’lt help?” she asked him, a pleading note in her voice.
    He only gave her a small smile again, as if he had an idea of what she was thinking. “Of course, Highness.”

     

    Maia is incapacitated for several weeks after being poisoned. Csethiro, with Csevet’s aid, keeps the Empire running while he recovers.
