    Summary

    Wei Wuxian is thirty-five years old, lanky and tough-skinned from the turns his life has taken. He's dirty with synthetic grit and the skin-sticky feeling of being in space too long, but he'd forgone a dry shower at the docking portal. He hadn't wanted to miss catching the hover, and it's been years since he's needed to look presentable. Years since there's been anyone he wanted to impress with his appearance. He should have known better. The Mess Popo had promised the views on Yueliang were beautiful. Wei Wuxian clutches the strap of his pack and swallows his snack around the sudden lump in his throat. She had no idea how beautiful.

    "Wei Ying?"

    Years after the war, Wei Wuxian finds someone he'd thought long dead.

    Summary

    A very careful collection of breath. “Leida is so very young. She doesn’t think so of course but then we never do, do we? Or I certainly didn’t at my own wedding. I was fifteen as well.”

    “Yeah, me too.” Though Erskin had still felt like a child at his own wedding, the youngest of five whose every step was in someone else’s footprints: remember when Jado, remember when Lin. “I mean you could probably guess that with my family.”

    Summary

    "The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, bringing Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, seeing as how you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"

    Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."

    "Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.

    Summary

    The snake is a symbol of longevity in the Abregado system and fertility on Felucia. In Corellian lore, the snake represents a journey, and its serpentine form can be found in the ancient script that predates even Olys Corellisi. On Atrisia, where snakes are rare, the snake is considered a harbinger of uncommon good fortune, as opposed to Ryloth, where the snake is such a common dæmon that depictions of snakes are considered passé.

    Summary

    Well, it's all right even when push comes to shove
    Well, it's all right if you got someone to love
    Well, it's all right, everything'll work out fine
    Well, it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

    It’s almost the last day on the job for Castellan Elim Garak. One or two loose threads to tie up and then he can retire home to his books and his garden and his doctors. Surely everything will work out fine?

    What might have happened after The Crimson Shadow and Enigma Tales.
