Summary
Romeo. The Montague’s son, and her sun. Oh, why must he be a Montague? Why must she be a Capulet? Why must she be in love? Her love will not matter, if her father kills her for consorting with the enemy, or if Tybalt kills Romeo for daring to look at Juliet.
But oh, love is sweet. She does not want to let it go just yet, not when his eyes are sweet and her smile is wide and at their wedding he promises never to leave her side. They are in love, and it does not need to matter.
OR: A study of Juliet Capulet and all her anxieties and impulses.

Summary
At age twelve, she envies the boy who shoves her into the sand. No one thinks it strange of them to fight. When she tries to fight back, one of the workers pulls her off of him.
“It’s not ladylike to get into fights,” the worker says.
“I don’t want to be a lady,” she tells her. The worker says nothing, only giving a familiar disapproving sniff.

Summary
It’s a strange thing, how easy it is for the course of a life to change. One word you can’t swallow in time, one step you mistakenly take, one person you can’t save. One person who wouldn’t stay.
Xornoth was here this morning. Scott knows this, he saw them while they were eating breakfast, heard them arguing even through the door as he waited outside. He doesn’t see any lights on when he gets home, but they were probably just tired, or maybe even just sitting in the dark. He doesn’t see their backpack anywhere, which was weirder, but maybe it was just upstairs with them. He doesn’t hear any sounds from their room, but they were always quiet. So he isn’t worried. He isn’t worried.
___
Or, Scott comes home from school to an empty house.

sing yourself a story/to the same old song by jublis

Summary
“You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”
Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”
The rain continues falling.
(And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.
And Olruggio forgets.)
There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

the liar's sleep by Denaia

Summary
He let the tiny silvery beads of lies thread themselves onto a string pulled much too tight to fit them all. And often he wondered when, or if, he would be allowed to tear through the strain and scatter them free.
Though he never pushed, it didn't seem wise, as every time Qifrey would avert his gaze and give him one of his similarly practiced laughs. The corner of his eye would lift, and his mouth would quiver and morph into a thin brushstroke of a smile—the very same one Olruggio had taught him all those years back. A shared skill of deception he could never take back.
The night after coming home from Silver Eve, Olruggio is wide awake, watching Qifrey sleep in his embrace. In the dim moonlight, he sees something he is not quite certain to be tears.

Summary
Ever since you were very little, Dad has told you stories. Stories of heroism, of adventure and friendship and love. Stories of the Mighty Nein.
You know they’re not real, because only you and Dad are real. It’s you, and Dad, in Room, and that’s all there is.(It starts like this: Essek Thelyss meets Ludinus Da’leth when he is 81 years old, desperately lonely, and convinced down to his core that he is too clever to be taken advantage of.)
(It starts like this: Ludinus Da’leth has never truly let go of anything.)

Summary
relativity, noun. 1) In physics: the degree to which a phenomenon’s perception differs between observers based on their independent reference frames; 2) In philosophy: the belief that there is no absolute morality existing beyond the conditioning of the individual.
The return to Aeor is a crucible of sorts- all that they have this time is each other, which is both electrifying and terrible in near-equal quantities. Two wizards in one place is trouble, but when they're Caleb and Essek it's a match to acetylene.
(Or: how it falls apart and comes back together.)

Summary
The second time the Nein come to Vurmas, it isn't as friends. Essek seeks refuge with the one person they (hopefully) won't approach.
That is how it happened. Definitely.
