Summary
"Levi misses Erwin in the margin between sleeping and waking. He thinks about Erwin when he steps out of a hot bath into cold air. He imagines Erwin’s new life, his new vocation, his new family, when the seasons change, or when he blows the candles out, or now, as the sun sets. The only space he does so is a space of a threshold. It does not feel good or bad. It does not feel happy or sad. Levi realises now, however, that this is not the same as it feeling nothing."
Six years after the War ends and they part ways, Levi finds himself at Erwin's door again.

Summary
Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.
He breaks the surface.
His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.
“Naiad,” a voice says.
Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.
---
On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

Summary
All Luke can hear is the drip, drip, drip of the water falling from his soaking wet self, as he walks on the hardwood floor towards the desk in the hall.
Luke eyes the keys hanging behind the counter. No other guests.
He rings the bell and the silence is broken.
Luke hears a door fly open, and loud footsteps echo through the hall, like a stampede of elephants.
“Who the hell are you?!”
“Luke Skywalker. Nice to meet you.”
“What the hell are you doing in here?!”
Luke snorts.
“Checking in.”
“Checking-?”
“Into your B&B?” Luke holds up a dusty pamphlet.
“-we’re closed.”
If anyone asks, Luke Skywalker would tell them that he’s on a mission to see every lighthouse on the east coast. It’s more or less the truth, afterall.
His latest target is a lighthouse that’s on the grounds of an old Bed & Breakfast; where it’s reclusive proprietor is not very pleased to have a guest. That is, until he realises that Luke is also a teacher and can tutor his son, who for some unknown reason, cannot go into town.
Luke agrees with the arrangement, intent on unraveling every mystery he can… while hiding some secrets of his own.- Language:
