Summary
Jack was still in a very precarious position, both mentally and physically, and no one knew for sure how long it would last. The double-secret classification of the Gay Bomb made it impossible to get a qualified medical opinion, and Dr. Spaceman had only given him a bottle of pink pills and a wink.

Summary
"There is an 85% or greater chance," he continued as if she hadn't spoken, "that if she sees the two of us in a compromising situation, she will discontinue her pursuit of me. Consequently, I will be able to return to my effective work habits in a relaxed and quiet environment without the constant interruption of frivolous banalities. Aside from yours and Leonard's, of course."

Girls' phone numbers.

Summary
The first time her date fell asleep on her, his body a dead weight that nearly succeeded in suffocating her, Fran chalked it up to too much wine with dinner. Hardly an uncommon occurrence and certainly not noteworthy enough to require an extended session with her own personal agony aunt, Manny.

Summary
Neville wondered when he'd stopped thinking before reacting. There had been a time when it seemed like almost everything that came out of his mouth was carefully weighed and examined first. Of course, there were plenty of times when things slipped past, but this new practise of blurting out words as they floated up through his brain...
It would be terrifying if it didn't feel so damned good.

Summary
Cleveland is and always has been a shit hole. John doesn't know if the same would be true of a version without a plague of demons and its very own permanent doorway to Hell, but he's pretty sure no one would ever mistake the city for a paradise. He's been holed up in a fleabag motel since he hit town the night before and he knows the city is going to look even worse in the daylight.

There seemed little more to say, after that, and they fell into a comfortable silence together. Eslingen applied himself to his dinner; Rathe considered his leman, and wondered how best to bring up the subject of b'Estorr. Or, more precisely, the reason b'Estorr claimed he didn't come over for dinner anymore.

Summary
Several scenes aboard the HMS Allegiance, while en route to Terra Australis: wherein privacy is violated, compromises are struck, and Tharkay finds himself designated nursemaid to a group of hopelessly self-destructive aviators. (various permutations of Tharkay/Granby/Laurence/Riley friendship or UST)

Bookmarker's Notes
Excerpt: Tharkay, left to his own devices, would have been happy enough to sit in silence and allow Laurence all the time in the world to stare broodingly out at the sea. So long as he was merely contemplating the water, and not throwing himself headfirst into it, Tharkay thought it unlikely any harm should come of it. However, Captain Riley had left strict instructions in the event of Laurence's falling into one of his sulks, or whatever the term was for an honorably moody temper, and Tharkay, conceding the greater acquaintance with Laurence's disposition to Riley, felt obliged to obey. And so, "Laurence," he said, "perhaps Temeraire would care for a brief flight? He seems a trifle out-of-sorts today, and the weather is unusually fine."

"If you'd been lectured by my father for four hours on your thirteenth birthday about all the many disasters that occur to a realm when you muddy the succession with bastards, you wouldn't have been very quick to dive into bed with the nearest servant girl, either," Arthur muttered.
