A Love That Settles by MortonMurphy

Summary
Louise wonders if all writers are extremely romantic, or if it’s just a quirk of the few she’s read. Of Jane Austen or Emily Bronte or Daphne Luckenbill. Though, maybe Austen or Bronte aren’t like that outside of their stories.
Daphne, though, definitely is. Louise should know. They’ve been exchanging unsigned correspondence (Louise’s request) for months on end, and the recent topic of love, Louise asking specifically about her and Silas, has been…illuminating. It’s become obvious that Daphne has an abundance of love, and an ease and bravery with which she gives it. Louise is trying to understand that ease, trying to look at it with something other than wistfulness, and with a fear that she physically cannot conquer.
Louise cannot imagine herself loving in the same way Daphne loves. No matter how wonderful Daphne makes that love sound, how painless she makes it seem.
OR, Through a series of letters from Daphne, Louise reflects on the nature of what kind of love she wants.

The Lyctoral Loop by MortonMurphy

Summary
Everything Harrowhark hates is here: there is nothing remotely fun in being trapped in a fast-moving machine, nothing appealing about people screaming at her to buy sugary pastries shaped like skulls. The smell of the place alone, saccharine and vaguely chemical, makes her ill. Everyone wears hideous, bright clothes and brighter, cloying smiles.
A jostle of the shoulder pushes her forward from where she stands, in a massive throng of people waiting for their turn in what’s labeled as the Lyctoral Loop. It is a long, spiraling track, with little, black carts that zoom along it, two to a cart. The line for this ride is long, stretching far behind Harrowhark to the point where she can’t see where the line ends. The line is bordered by deep red velvet rope, and flashing signs that read Ride the Lyctoral Loop! And A Ride So Good You’ll Never Want To Get Off!
OR, Yet another snapshot of an alternate universe conjured by Harrowhark Nonagesimus.

Summary
He is yours.
He is a lightning rod, but you do not care. He is a beacon for blights and curses to assail onto you, your family, your neighbors, but you do not care.
He is yours.
He is not the same, you know that. He is not Hikaru, who could never love you the way you loved him. He loves you in a strange way, in a way that chills you to the bone with how easy it is to lose yourself in it, to let him consume you and draw you so far into him that there will be no escape from what he is–what you and him are.
He is yours.
OR, Yoshiki knows he can't ever love "Hikaru" like he did the original, that this thing that took his place can't ever truly be Hikaru, or love him in a way deemed normal. He can't bring himself to give "Hikaru" up anyway.

Look Me in the Eye by MortonMurphy

Summary
You think about my last moments, from time to time. You think of the gasp that left my throat, of the wideness of the eyes that now rest in your sockets. You hear Corona’s screams, while tasting the tang of my blood in your mouth as you forced my soul down your throat–all while trying to drown out Corona’s sobs.
Is THIS why you can’t look at Augustine the First at all, as he drowns? Is this why you instead focus on shooting the breeze with the Necrolord Prime–as if your big brother lyctor isn't dying because of you at this very instant?
After dooming him, you can’t even do him the honor of looking him in the eyes.
...honestly, this is so on brand for you, Ianthe.
OR, Ianthe makes a decision on who to save, and the guy whose soul she ate judges her about it.

Summary
For a few fevered moments both she and Eli had stood at a crossroads, neither wishing to part but watching the other be torn away by circumstance anyway. Of all the terrors of the day, that final fear that he would walk away from her and that she would never know his fate … it had almost pushed her over the edge.
Cornelia and Eli don’t part at Busted Belly. Instead, they continue their journey to find home.

Summary
You have a not-especially-vested interest in not bringing up the Emperor’s dead Hands, those who betrayed him (at least half) and those he preferred to you (probably all, you anemic milk-slick, you eclipse-shadow of greatness). Your position is precarious. You are intimately goddamn aware of it.
But at least you have the same old advantages as always: in the deep and twisty vessel of you there is not one scruple nor drop of shame. And you are accustomed to being the overlooked sister.
--
John and Ianthe deal with the fact that his only remaining Lyctor is the one he never liked much. Maybe they can bond over the fact that they're both egotistical manipulators who lie like breathing? No?
Also, God sees ghosts. Ianthe doesn't help.

Summary
"You know I had to do it to them," John mumbles.
He misses the beach. The real beach. The current one is mostly soil with a lacy veneer of nuclear ash, clammy and streaky and hilariously radioactive, which is a real bummer when he thinks about it too hard. But the twenty-five meter sea level rise that came when all the freshwater ice finished melting around the mid-century mark ate away at the shoreline, rolled in between the skyscrapers on a new tide, swallowed up all the people who couldn't afford to move anywhere else. Have you seen the rent rates lately?
And then John accidentally'd the entire nuclear stockpile of the planet Earth.
