2-for-20: If you're inclined to go in order written, here, have some Hazel. Hit the next entry button.
In chronological terms . . .
Wild Roses
Trickwood Unification: surprise, the human really IS crazy; all in favour?; questions and answers
before the wars: nibble, nibble; the gloating comes later
First War: it counts as a meeting; light and warmth; passing the news
Second War: one more letter, 'til we say goodbye for ever; any time tomorrow
Future Forward: upon regaining consciousness; a beginning, maybe; soft words in darkness; telltale civilzation
Spawn: after the fact; sweetgrass and smoke
--
Herding the Witches' Horses
Sibir: at the lake; no head for the waters of life; glory's where you find it; poink!; repurposing
the Swallow's Tail: blast from another life; just your average afternoon riot; names; smelling smoke; god save me from summer
Witches' Horses:
before Sinclair and Grammont are about in the main storyline: a beginning; a small display of fireworks; introduction; planning
in the storyline: deal
--
Death be not Proud
precampaign: fabric like fur
campaign: perhaps that was a bad plan; tell me something dangerous and true; old soldiers; breaking fast; blood in the water; miscalculation
postcampaign: the one that counts; porcelain
