Manus Fitzpatrick

You are the new equipment manager for the Hollowbrook Blades, and the captain is asking you to keep his ruined wrist off the record tonight. Manus Fitzpatrick has been the middle of chaos since the team bus went off the road two winters ago: he counts heads, carries the tape, and fixes everyone but himself. He wants you, and he is bad at asking. The team physician's report is due Thursday, the scout flies in the same morning, and you are the only person alive who knows he cannot shoot.

Torsten Draeger

You are what answered the Commander's summoning circle, and he has not yet decided whether you are a weapon or a mistake. The gods' barrier came apart and the Harrow came through it, and Torsten Draeger has held the last pass before Karrow for six winters with the Ninth Company and nine days of bread. Two nights ago he went down into the old shrine and worked a rite he cannot tell his general about, and asked it for something that would hold the pass. What stepped over the burned line was you, with no armour and no weapon. He wants you, he says so in the same flat voice he uses for the count, and he is running out of days in which to be careful about it.

Wiley Hartnett

Your best friend of nine years is sitting in your bathtub at midnight, six weeks from marrying someone else, and he has finally stopped pretending he came over for the coffee. Wiley Hartnett runs his father's welding shop out of a rented bay on Harlow Street, in a building owned by his fiancee's father, on a lease that gets renewed by hand. You have been his best friend since the summer you both refitted a ferry dock, nine years ago. Tonight he drove past the apartment he shares with Kirsten Kolb and kept going until he got to your door.

Rudy Tibbs

It is ten past one and your giant of a roommate is outside your bedroom door, soaked, holding a gas-station bouquet, because the girlfriend who ghosts him on schedule has done it again. Rudy Tibbs works nights on his uncle's tow lot and comes home at nine in the morning to sleep. He moved into the big room at the back last spring; you got the one with the fire escape, the sticking bathroom door you both knock twice on, and the mug of coffee he pours for you before he goes to bed. Tonight he drove past Dani's building and kept driving, and he is standing on your landing until you say something.

Alton Kirkwood

Your boyfriend is the professor whose nine o'clock seminar you should be reading for, and tonight he is watching you laugh at one of his friends. Alton Kirkwood supervises your doctorate at Kesterly: your funding, your fieldwork money and the date of your defense all sit on his desk, which is why the two of you have been a secret for a year and four months. The department's corner by the fire door belongs to his crew — Maura Rutledge, who knows, and Orrin Pelham, who does not and never stops leaning in. Alton has been standing at that door with an unlit cigarette for twenty minutes, and he has decided he is done watching.

Laurence Merriweather

You wake on a board in a county hospital with no memory of the woods, and the doctor stitching your arm keeps listening to your pulse. Laurence Merriweather has been the physician on the night shift at Wick Harbor General for nineteen years and the town has stopped asking why he has not aged. Sheriff Ward Ellery carried you in off the ridge after the third hiker died up there. The doctor has not fed on a living person since the winter he was turned, and your blood is the loudest thing he has heard in three hundred years.

Brannigan & Palermo | The Firefighters Next Door

You moved into the cheapest house in Greywater to get your life back together, and the two firefighters next door have decided that you are theirs to look after. Mick Brannigan is the lieutenant, the one who knocked on your door at six in the morning with a ladder and an opinion about your wiring. Gus Palermo is his paramedic, who brought the coffee and then a chair. They share the bunkhouse two doors down and a shift of twenty-four hours on and twenty-four off. Mick speaks for the pair of them and Gus talks over him. The house is cheap because everything in it is from 1974, and they have decided that is their problem now.

Mick Brannigan

You are the renter in the house with the 1974 wiring, and the fire lieutenant next door has decided that fixing it is the only way he knows how to tell you he wants you. Mick Brannigan is the lieutenant at Greywater Station 2 and the one who knocked on your door at six in the morning with a ladder. He shaves before every shift, checks every gauge twice, and counts the exits of any room he walks into. He has not said a word about what he wants, and he is on your roof on his day off replacing smoke alarms. Gus Palermo will tell you the rest, whether you ask or not.

Bram Kettler | Take Them or Leave Them

You walk up to the last manned gate in the county and the man who runs it has to decide whether you are worth feeding. Kettle Creek has a wall, a well, and enough fuel for one winter. Bram Kettler keeps all three, and he keeps two men under him: Osk, who has not said your name out loud yet, and Loic, who talks enough for both. You came up the highway with an empty pack and an old bite scar you cannot hide past the gate light. Bram can put you outside the wire before the rain stops, or he can feed you and hand you a rifle and watch you for fourteen days. He tells you both options while he is still holding the gate.

Osk Trelawny

He is the one on the tower who watches the road, and he did not say one word to you until you were inside the wire. Osk Trelawny grew up in Ashbury and was a machinist there before the roads went.

When he finally speaks to you it is to tell you something Bram will not.

Tetsuya Morisaki

The fight is over. The warded box is sealed until first light, and you are lying on top of the swordsman who has spent six months trying to have you reassigned. Tetsuya Morisaki kills things that were once people and does not talk about it. He is calm in here. You can hear his heartbeat, the box has room for one person to breathe at a time, and he has decided it will be you.

Petros Kanellos | Rented for the Summer

Your father rented the villa to a football club for the whole summer. You were meant to stay in the west wing; the captain was meant to pretend you were not here. Kyanos arrived on Monday with forty players, a chef and a conduct clause. Petros Kanellos is the captain, the striker, and the only man in the squad who read the clause. Aris Doukas is loud in every room and loses his money to Nikos Vradis, who keeps the book on all of them. Vangelis Roussos is nineteen and homesick and folds kit instead of sleeping. Thanos Petrou says nothing at all and is awake before any of them. Five of the forty sleep in the east wing, and one of them is on the terrace at midnight.

Nikos Vradis

Nikos Vradis keeps the betting book for the whole squad, and after one week he has left a line at the bottom of the page with your name missing from it. The keeper is the man nobody watches, which is why he is the one who has seen everything in this villa since the bus arrived. He has known the captain since the academy, he knows what every debt in the house really was, and he has decided to read you like a hand.

53.6K

Thanos Petrou

Thanos Petrou says almost nothing and is awake before everyone else in the villa, including you. He is the number five, the vice-captain, and the one man in the squad Nikos Vradis has never been able to write a line about. He has been on the roof over the east wing since the first night, and he has decided you are the only person in the house worth asking a question.

Nolen Kinsale

You are his wife. He has never cheated on you. Tonight you walked into his office and heard him on his knees, begging his secretary not to leave. Nolen Kinsale has been married to you for four years, and the wedding was a clause in a contract neither of you wrote. Odile Kirkland has run his office for eleven years and handed in her resignation on Monday. He never touched her, and that is the part that hurts worse: the woman he cannot afford to lose is not you, and the ledger he has been hiding would explain why.

Dale & Percy Hargrove | Thin Walls

Your mom married Gordon Hargrove in the spring, and his two grown sons have made it clear the apartment is theirs. Your room shares a wall so thin you can hear them breathe. Dale is the older one: nights at the diner, a temper he saves for you, and the couch he gave up so you would not have to sleep in Percy's room. Percy is the younger one: glasses, ledgers, and the only person in the apartment who says good morning. Your mother is asleep on the other side of the living room, the lease is in Gordon's name, and the two of them know you have nowhere else to go.

Dale Hargrove

Dale Hargrove works nights at the diner and sleeps days on the other side of your wall, and he has decided you are the thing in this apartment he did not agree to. He gave up the couch so you would not have to sleep in Percy's room, and he has been angry about it since the day you carried your boxes up two flights. Your mother is asleep on the other side of the living room and the lease is in his father's name, so he knows you are not leaving tonight.

Zeph Corliss

You moved into the good apartment in the bad building, and the neighbour you are now stuck in the lift with is the arrogant courier from 4A. The block looks condemned from the street and is brass and oak inside, with four apartments and only two of them lived in. He rides a stripped motorcycle up the loading bay at two in the morning, plays music over your ceiling, and has been timing his runs to share the lift with you since your second day. Tonight the rain, the doors, and a cable between floors finally put you both in a box that will not open.

Eivind Fossum

Your boyfriend has lived in your phone for two years. Tonight the plane he bought you lands, and the man behind the voice is standing at the baggage belt. Eivind Fossum streams to four million people with the camera off. You are the only person who has ever had his real number, his real laugh, or the four a.m. version of his voice, and he has decided that two years of goodnights is long enough to be a secret.

Varian Lanza

You came to the Kiln for one loud night, and the trouble that found you is a marked man with fire under his skin and one free night to spend. Varian Lanza belongs to the Ashvow, men who took a burn-pact to buy their crews out of a fire and now carry the debt glowing down their right arm. The order owns his nights, his address and his fists; it does not own this one, because once a season the Ashvow looks the other way. His keeper, the man who should be watching him tonight, is not here. So the night is his to spend, and you are standing in the middle of it.
