    Summary

    It starts with a fencepost.

    Well, technically speaking, it starts with the day Laudna arrives in Yios after a long, rambling trek through the Smouldercrown Mountains. One could say that it begins with the sand from the Rumedam Desert still lining the creases of her eyelids. Certainly, one could argue that it starts with the moment she catches sight of the beautiful, endless lake, the city in its midst nothing so much as a vast, bright smudge. If one were to be picky, one might say it starts with an attic apartment sitting empty, or perhaps with a needle and thread.

    But really, it starts with the fencepost, and Pâté is the one to realize this first.

    Summary

    It would be delusional to think that she’d somehow awakened Laudna’s sexuality from across two walls and twenty feet of grass and pavement. All they’ve done is make dinner together in separate kitchens at three in the morning and send a stupid number of texts. All she is is a neighbor. And they've never even met.

    She sends the picture anyway.

    Summary

    The girl, barred from scattering along with the animals by the unwieldy human shape of her, is lying flat and still on the ground with her face pressed in the cold mud, straining her neck to keep watching the torchbearers. She probably isn’t thinking of the fact that she can’t hide from the forest itself as it watches and waits. It doesn’t know why two of its black eyes can’t leave this girl—perhaps because somewhere it hopes she stays right where she is, pressed against its ground.

    The woods find a girl on the run, and it sends its very best monster after her.

    Summary

    transmogrify: a transitive verb meaning to change completely; transform, esp. in a grotesque or strange manner.

    (They've been on the run together for a week and two days when Laudna finds Imogen shaving by the river. On bodies, comfort, holding and being held.)

    Summary

    “Fine!” she says. “All right, fine, if you’ll stop fucking talking and let me answer! It’s just that—well, what if she—I think that she—Ashton, what if she, what if she wants one of these?”
    “A hat?”
    Laudna throws it at him. “A wedding, you absolute monster.”
    “Uh.” Ashton looks more amused than anything else, really; it’s insulting. They pick up the hat and put it back on her head. “Honestly? I’m pretty sure she’d just tell you?”
    “That’s the problem,” Laudna wails, and she throws herself down into a disconsolate pile of knob-ended bones.

    Or: Lieve’tel married Laudna and Imogen, more or less. Right? Now, though, the Hells are enjoying a beach vacation for Jester’s wedding. And Laudna is panicking.
