Summary
She won't let him play the piano.
When he sits down at the keys her hands slide over his, beside his, fingers dancing to counter every note he tries to set down. When he screams, she laughs, high and bright and feral, and oh he’s missed that sound, he’s longed for that sound, he dreams of that sound.
(Lestat is haunted by his daughter).

Summary
Eadwulf can’t stop staring at the blood. He reaches up, trembling, breathing through the spasms, and wipes the corner of Essek’s mouth with his left thumb. The blood is fresh, still hot. “Did she hurt you?”
“That doesn’t matter now, does it?” Essek doesn’t flinch away from the contact. Bren has made him more comfortable in his own skin. When they’d first met, they could barely touch. “She’s dead. And you’re being foolish.”
“I’m always foolish.”
Essek narrows his eyes. “You can lie to your master so she fucks you in the way you like, and you can lie to Beauregard because she doesn’t have time to confront you about it right now, but don’t lie to me. We’ve done terrible things together, Eadwulf Grieve, and I have very little to lose. Don’t insult me.”
(Eadwulf kills again and again and again. It feels like coming home).

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Occtis whispers. “For dying.”
She laughs; she can’t help it. The sound rips its way out of her chest with the violence of a scream and she longs to sink her blade into it to tame it down, to make it bleed, to say, this isn’t fucking funny, none of this is funny, please, please, please, stop.
Or:
Thimble, with friends, in the dark (spoilers for Episode 27).

Summary
Calm emotions is a spell he doesn’t need to pray for these days. The magic sits like honey at the roof of his mouth. He lets it unfurl with his breath, heat seeping into his cold fingers. The body shudders and stills. The only sound is his ragged breathing. “This is only going to last a minute,” Caduceus says. “And then it’s all going to come back. So I need you to breathe and look at me, okay? I’m not going to hurt you and you’re not going to hurt me.”
The eyes blink. Once. Twice. Three times. “Cad?”
“Yep. You’re good.”
“I’m good?”
“I like to think so. You’re certainly not bad. I’ve killed you before; I’d know.”
(Kingsley is brought to the garden).

The thing few understand about the Laws is that they're not laws like governments have. They're laws like physics has, like God has. They will be followed whether you follow them or not, one way or another.
