Summary
In one of the most famous gumiho stories, a human tricks the spirit-fox and swallows its bead of knowledge for himself. If he looked up to the heavens, he would learn of the cosmos and master the universe. If he looked down to the earth, he would learn of his world and uncover the secrets of men—but only just that.
The human—the fool—looks down. Minkyu, fox-cursed, does the same.
I’m going to kill him, he thinks. He would say it out loud, but he can’t—the paralytic chewing through his nerves keeps him docile, and willpower only gets him so far, only enough to dry the damp burn in his eyes.
He can’t feel the rods prodding in his skull—the brain lacks such receptors because it isn’t meant to be touched—but he feels when one precise stab triggers an ugly spasm across his face. Self-loathing comes swift and relentless, and Minkyu’s canines, grown sharp with his anger, puncture the swollen bruise of his lower lip. Blood wells, but somehow, the shame still stings more.
I’m going to fucking kill him.
But that’s a lie, of course, because Minkyu knows there’s no way he could possibly kill Noskov, not now or ever.

Summary
Archaeologist Ilienna Vivaldi hasn't been the same since the accident took her memories. Though surrounded by supportive colleagues, she frets over what was lost. Perhaps she should have worried more about the space that was left behind.
“This is deeper than I expected,” Guan-Ying says, observing the uneven walls, and Ilienna can’t help but agree. The warmth of the Italian summer has vanished entirely—the tomb is cold. For a second, Ilienna feels like she sees her breath fog, but when she tries again, there’s nothing.
“You’re wonderfully empty, aren’t you?”

Summary
When Demari started dating his younger colleague Kee Parilla-Tran, he knew the girl's older brother wouldn't approve. He hadn't realized to what extent, or just how far Mirac Tran was willing to go. Mind the tags.
“And what is ‘this,’ then?” Demari asks as Tran walks away, towards the bed. He tries now to loosen the knots at his wrists, only managing to rub his skin raw. “An intervention?”
“You could call it that,” Tran says affably, then settles next to Parilla-Tran on the sheets. Again, she doesn’t stir, and Demari’s chest clenches in concern, even though he shouldn’t be worried—notoriously doting, Tran would never hurt his little sister.
