Summary
ART was staring at me mutually. That's not the word I meant—it was the one that it shouldn't have been able to do because it was already its own captain. Anyway, ART was staring at me like it wanted to stage a hostile take over, depose all my c-level executives, and replace them with its own.

Summary
Age sixteen and Elliot was shocked to see Miriam Price again, as shocked as he’d been last year when Cyril Leigh hadn’t gone. After Elliot’s outburst that they were all being trapped here, she’d led the way back to the human world.
And now here she and Elliot both were, there and back again. Maybe it proved him right.
At least she looked different. Her hair was a few months longer and she’d replaced her Hermione Granger-ish desperation to please Elliot, her teacher, with a bitter glare. She’d traded the council course’s tunic and books for the warrior training’s leather and straps.
And she had a Star of David at her neck.

Summary
“My oath,” Andy says, uncapping the bottle.
Nile sits up straighter, hands on her knees. Whatever this is, much like the mine, it goes back a long way.
“Upon my final death, I bequeath Andronika to Nile Freeman, to donate to whichsoever institution--”
“The Art Institute of Chicago.”
“To the Art Institute of Chicago,” Andy echoes, “so that my breasts may be culturally appreciated in perpetuity.”
She tips the bottle and lets out three drops. As they fall to the stone floor, Joe and Nicky rap their knuckles on the nearest pieces of metal: the other lantern for Nicky, the oxidized helmet for Joe. One rap for each drop. In another time, they might have struck their swords on shields.

Six months later, Booker blurrily returns to the apartment after finally getting thrown out of the bar at, oh, 600. He glances at the fragment of drafting tape he always leaves from jamb to bottom corner of the door. It hangs loose from the frame.
He’s deadened his fine motor control pretty well this morning. Now his poison of choice slips from numb fingers. Cognac and glass go everywhere, and he manages the coordination to kick at the shards before collapsing on the stair to wait for death and capture.
He waits a while.

Summary
In 1785, John Trumbull painted a portrait he called 'Mrs. John Barker Church, Son Philip, and Servant.'
"He didn't even get the title right," Angelica says, showing it to Maria. "That's Richard, not Philip. To say nothing of our faces!"
"I'll do it properly," Maria promises.

Edit 09/17/2023: changed the title from "your name on every wall" to better reflect the themes. My only defense is I love a good meme, and that's clearly the only thing I was thinking about back in 2016. -

Summary
It turns out that some has-been has been analyzing Aaron’s and Hamilton’s appearances together since they announced the marriage. He correctly concluded that the whole thing is fake, captioned a bunch of cherry-picked stills and pictures with claims that the (scare-quotes) couple is “tellingly distant,” and ended his blog post by asking “Alex” whether he’s considered if his (scare-quotes) husband is secretly straight.
