Summary
“What an incredible creature you will be,” he said quietly, “and what a boon for England.” An old hurt panged in his chest; bringing the egg up from the shore was likely the greatest thing he would ever do for his country, and it had only been dumb luck that brought him such a chance. For a moment, he thought of the ships sailing past down the channel, towards Gibraltar or Africa or India, and had to swallow that long-held longing. The chance for such a path was passed, and not only passed, but passed by twenty years. He ought to have released such foolish childhood dreams by now, and yet even a pastor must be allowed an occasional harmless indulgence, he hoped.
“You will go very many exciting places, I expect,” he told the egg. “I hope you do not mind the sea, after the tumble it has given you.” He patted the egg and, to his astonishment, it made an audible gurgling sound beneath his hand, as if in answer.

Summary
Freshly pardoned from death row in Paris, Tharkay dreams.
.
“Ah,” the Emperor of France said. “How I wish it was your own life you begged me for, Captain. That I grant you without reserve, without you needing to even ask me. But this man, this spy -- it is not even honorable soldiering, his work.”
“I am aware,” Laurence said, low. He had his hands tucked behind his back, a soldier at rest. “That is why I must ask you to spare him as -- as a personal favor, rather than appealing to your sense of Honor.” Tharkay could always hear the capital letter, when Laurence said it.
“He must mean a great deal to you,” Napoleon said thoughtfully. “I would not have thought it of you, to be bosom friends with a man like him.”
“Tharkay is much more than a spy,” Laurence said. “He has saved my life countless times; begging mercy from you is only what I owe him.”

Summary
It all started because Laurence had come into the sitting room when Granby was visiting Tharkay’s estate, mildly cross and holding Tharkay’s greatcoat, which was rumpled from lying in a damp heap in the entryway for two whole days before Laurence noticed it. He had entered the room while shaking it out and folding it, as such a fine piece of clothing deserved, and saying something chiding, along the lines of, “Tenzing, did you never learn you must care for your things if you wish for them to last--?”
“Ah,” Tharkay said, slouching in his practiced way and tilting his sly smile at Granby, “here’s the missus.”

Summary
Pran likes Tian so much, and the small curve of his smile, meant only for Pran, combined with the two handsome half naked men only a few feet away, is doing something funny in his gut.
“Wow,” Pat is saying again, running a hand over Chief’s biceps. “It’s crazy that you don’t even lift. That’s so hot.” He pauses for an unsubtle half-second before adding, “You know what else would be hot? If we kissed.”
Chief, already half frozen, freezes even more, eyes widening in uncharacteristic shock. It is not, however, the face of someone who hates the idea.
.
Pat and Pran stay an extra night in Pha Pan Dao before heading back to the city.

Summary
Luo Binghe peeks up at him, eyes rimmed nearly as red as his demon mark. “Shizun won’t send me away from him?”
Slowly, almost involuntarily, Shen Qingqiu's arms come up to embrace Luo Binghe in return. He’s already gone totally off-script here, what’s a little more adlibbing? He has fifteen seconds left before Luo Binghe must enter the Abyss. “I won’t,” he says quietly. “But you must be brave, Binghe. This will not be easy, but there is only one place for us to go. Shizun is sorry.”
The two of them are only a few paces away from the cliff. Even without access to his cultivation, Shen Qingqiu has a height advantage, and more importantly, he has surprise on his side. It is almost too easy to clutch Luo Binghe tighter in his arms, step forward, and --
Shen Qingqiu really hopes he doesn’t die when he hits the bottom. That would be so embarrassing.
