Summary
Antinous laughs and there is no humour in it. “You think a couple of clumsy tumbles and I’ll be so smitten I’ll give up the throne of Ithaca? Are you really that foolish?”
Telemachus stands up.
“Is this the part where you run off?” Antinous asks.
Telemachus goes to where he is sitting and looks down at him. Antinous looks up at him defiantly. He looks as if he is bracing himself to be struck.
It’s what he deserves. Instead, Telemachus just turns and goes towards the door that leads to the inner chamber. Standing in the doorway, he looks back over his shoulder.
“Well?” he says. “Are you coming or aren’t you?”
The shroud is completed ahead of schedule and Penelope chooses a husband.
For ten days before the wedding, Telemachus stands guard on the lonely palace walkway between their rooms.

Fandoms: Scholomance - Naomi Novik

Summary
Liesel is not lucky. Liesel is disciplined, and careful, and her plans have redundancies on redundancies. The Scholomance is very motivating that way— it rewards her clarity and her dedication, and punishes remorse and indecision. It is, she frequently thinks, the most real version of the world that exists.

Summary
The Boston Raiders are making decent time heading up into Michigan when one of the horses almost breaks an ankle on what’s left of the road.
A highly lethal—and highly contagious—virus has swept across the planet, taking down the power grid, toppling society, and leaving behind only a tiny fraction of the population. For a while, it seems like everything is over. This is not the case.
Or: The world ends. Shane Hollander starts playing for Boston. Yes, in that order.

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 Metros really were lousy at hockey. Shane Hollander was the only talent they had, which was why they threw the C on his chest before they even made it to the All Star break. The Raiders hadn’t given Ilya even an A yet. Coach had taken him aside and told him they weren’t going to think about a leadership role on the team until he’d finished his rookie year. He had enough to deal with, Coach said, which was nicer than saying Ilya was still nineteen, and his English sucked shit, and they weren’t quite done being worried about “character issues.”
Ilya Rozanov’s rookie year reimagined by someone with serious hockey-watcher brainrot.
