Summary
The ship emerged from a cloud of steam and smoke, cutting through the atmosphere like a scalpel through flesh. Its hull glowed with the heat of entry. Ins watched it change from white to yellow to red, and then finally cool down enough to show its true colour: a pure, unmarked black, reflecting nothing.
Chau’s face lost all expression as they watched the ship bank and then turn, entering its final approach to the docks. “Sibling To The Storm,” they said. “Of Shatterpoint Station.”

Summary
Finch had always expected that the ambassador from that strange northern land, with his funny accent and strange way of dressing, would leave him with nothing more than a few pairs of expensive earrings, a necklace or two, some very pretty hairpins and maybe a few coins to hoard below the loose floorboard under his bed. That was, after all, how most grand lords ended their affairs with pretty brothel boys.
“If I buy you, would you want to come with me?” Zariel had said, at the end of one evening, after he had bathed and while he was getting dressed.

Summary
Two shots that cracked his armour. A blow hard enough to knock him down. Then the elegant network breach that had sent Shard out of his head, and the strange, strange way he had felt like a fragile thing dropped in the gears of a mechanical engine, to be ground to dust. Of course he had bent to it, as naturally as the trajectory of a bullet curving under gravity.
After a combat mission gone wrong, a controller rewards one construct and punishes another.
Nothing good happens here.Series

Summary
Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing are catboys.
Zhou Zishu pulled back. “You have barbs.”
“Is that a problem?” Wen Kexing said, biting his ear.
Zhou Zishu should say yes. It should be a problem. “Every part of you is a problem. Is this why only whores will have you?”
“Some men like it,” Wen Kexing said, the tone making it clear that he suspected Zhou Zishu was some men.

Summary
The black cat sinks down afterwards, wary and simmering still, examining them as if it understood the concept of an artery and why you’d want to find one. The white cat just regards them all with resignation and then delicately raises a forepaw and starts licking it in small neat strokes of its tongue, as if it had better things to do and wished they would all go away and leave it in… “Hey,” Wen Kexing says, slow and thoughtful all of a sudden. “Don’t these two cats make you think of—”
“No,” Zishu says, through his teeth. “Absolutely not.”
Fuck his life. They do.
