Summary
A letter from Nona to Harrow, sharing some important questions and information that she'll need before she returns to her body.
The first thing you should know is that I’m not writing this letter myself. I’m telling it to Palamedes and he’s writing it down. He says that’s called dictating. The first time he said that word, Pyrrha overheard and said, ‘Dick Tate? I hardly know him!’ and then Palamedes said ‘stop interrupting, and we don’t know anyone named Tate.’ Palamedes says I’m getting off topic again. Anyway, Palamedes is writing for me because I can’t. I don’t understand why that’s so important, but Palamedes says not disclosing that information is a serious breach of academic integrity. I don’t know what that means, but apparently you will, and you’ll think it’s important.

Summary
Harrow’s a forensic anthropologist. Ianthe’s a pathologist. They share a lab. It’s fine.
Until Ianthe leaves her a body—something skinned and posed and clearly meant for her—and calls it a love letter.
Now, Harrow’s trying to figure out what to do with a woman who is definitely a serial killer, her "therapist" twin sister, deranged childhood friend, and why the only thing she can think is:
Shit, I think I love her back.Oh and of course, solve crime.

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

Summary
It starts small; a hand touch here and there, smiles, giggles, the way she stares, the way her nose wrinkles when she laughs at something you said or did, the way she— She. Byulyi went from a star in your sky to the whole galaxy in which you reside.
