Summary
The first time Nimona died was in the arms of her best friend, a thousand or so years before her heart stopped for the first time. Even though it sure felt like she’d suddenly, spontaneously, decided to stop living when Gloreth had leaned down and played a kiss against Nimona’s forehead as they play-fought.
Nimona had swatted at her, and Gloreth had simply cupped her cheeks and grinned.
“C’mon,” she’d said, “C’mon, Nimona. You have to learn how to kiss if you want a husband.”
And after a beat of silence and Gloreth’s hot breath against Nimona’s skin, she’d agreed. And she’d been kissed. She hadn’t kissed back, not immediately. Believe it or not, she used to be timid. Instead of kissing back, she’d let Gloreth take what she’d wanted, and Nimona had raked her hands through that golden fucking hair. Girls love each other like animals, you know.
And Gloreth, pretty fingers still against Nimona’s cheeks—Gloreth had smelled of ichor and rosemary.
Without doubt, Gloreth was the person who taught Nimona how to love. Which is a pity. Because Gloreth’s love was no good.
Nimona; Nimona's old and new loves and what she's "learned".

Summary
“You were made for greater things,” Mother says gently.
“The greatest thing I was made for was to make my own choices,” he hisses, refusing to let Mother control him. “This is what I choose day in and day out. I neither seek nor need your approval. I moved on from you long ago.”
Or, you can take the boy out of the assassin’s household, but you can’t separate the fucked up kid from the assassin. Especially one raised as an object, a thing to be owned, a vessel for his Grandfather’s mad plans.
Damian, going from an object to be owned to a person who is loved.
