Summary
“Camilla Hect,” he says, a hopeless grin spreading across his face. “This was premeditated, wasn't it?"
At present, Cam's standing outside his bedroom at two in the morning with both an exasperated set to her jaw and her tits out, casually propositioning him for something that could very well change their relationship permanently.
"You're horny, happens to the best of us," he says. "You're flirting with me, that's fine, if a little unexpected. But I need to be absolutely certain here: are you genuinely trying to seduce me?”
“I don't know,” she says, sweetly deadpan like the absolute pill she is, her arms still crossed and her brow furrowed. “Is it working?”
“I don't know,” he retorts, just to be a bitch. “Is it going to ruin our friendship?”
“Our friendship has managed to survive five years of me saying your name when I make myself come,” she says casually, as though this isn't a life-changing, earth-shattering piece of information. “I think we'll be alright.”
Well. That's that, then.

Summary
Sometimes, he dies young. Or too early. Turns into a collapsing star seated at the sickbed of a woman he loves.
Sometimes Camilla doesn’t know Palamedes at all, and she’s fine. She lives in a two bedroom apartment with her girlfriend. Her boss drives her crazy and she quits right before the market crashes.
Sometimes things are hard. Sometimes things are good. She can get through it without Palamedes. Not every time. Sometimes.

Summary
“Camilla,” he breathed, and she knew it was serious.
“What was that, dear?” Juno Zeta’s voice wobbled through the phone’s speaker, tinny, and Palamedes’ eyes glinted.
She shrugged. He squinted. She nodded.
“I’m dating Cam,” he said, “and I’ll bring her home for Christmas.”
There was an air of resolute finality to it, a commitment to the bit that she could only dream of delivering so masterfully.
Vaguely, she regretted her lifetime penchant to agree with nearly everything that Palamedes Sextus proposed— (no) (phrasing)— came up with— typically without question nor second thought.

Summary
Gideon was having a perfectly normal, perfectly pleasant evening (or at least, what passed for normal and pleasant in Canaan House) when Harrow looked up from her flimsy-strewn desk and said,
"In the interest of remaining transparent, you ought to know that I've asked Sextus to marry me."
OR
Harrow and Palamedes refuse Lyctorhood, and get married instead. Gideon and Camilla are totally fine about it, honest.
God, however, is not.
