Summary
If, as ye take this broad recounting, aught has looked odd in the culture of whalemen— indeed, should you be anything less than a salt-seasoned veteran of that most noble fishery, and particularly to that fellow among ye whose feet have never left the hard-packed soil of his native land, that veritable tree of devout landsmen from whom roots may well spring into the earth or all life exist in a bulb beneath its surface— to you most especially, it may be necessary to preface the next recounting with an explication of the whaleman’s notion of the holiday.
During the search for the leaking barrel of whale oil, a detour becomes necessary.
A light-hearted vignette inserted into the story of Moby Dick, fulfilling that fundamental human desire to give the crew of the Pequod a beach episode to relax.

Summary
“Oh, just– that I had them, I guess.” Ryland says. He doesn't even really know where he's going with this. “None of my relationships were ever spectacular or anything. Probably because of me. My ex once said that I loved because I had to. I think I’m just thinking about how I'm gonna die without ever getting married or falling in love. Oh God– I don't think I've ever fallen in love.”
“This upsets you.” Rocky observes.

What if, instead of going to sleep that second night in the Spouter’s Inn, Ishmael had done something about his husband lacing their legs together and cuddling up to him?
Ishmael may not have much practical knowledge in this arena, but hey. That’s never stopped him before

Summary
A half-hour between Ch. 49 and Ch. 50 of Moby Dick.
If I was to keep a record of every turn of the half-hour-glass on board the Pequod, I should not get this narrative clear of Nantucket-harbour; so the writing of my last will and testament, which, besides, did not figure again, would only make my MSS an intolerable sprawl. It is an appendix of an appendix, and to be considered as such.
Pip had rung two bells by the time I had pen and paper to hand. I could have made out my will in the forecastle, but having spent a night catty-corner to the first mate while I nursed my spleen at him, I had the urge to speak confidentially to my comrade - an urge which on a whaler was so unattainable as to be almost perverse. Insist on your free-will as much as you like; consider yourself an isolato of your own thoughts; before you should even be reminded that you are part of a joint enterprise by any duty to spring to, there are the various leisures, quarrels, accidents and necessities of your fellow-men to draw you in.

Summary
Molly thinks later that Alana Bloom must be more than certain that Hannibal Lecter will decline her request. That even suggesting it was possible was a small deceit to get Molly off the phone. Molly can’t say she disagrees with the methodology. She’s never taken no for an answer without hearing it a few times first.
The form is sent to Molly’s work email without any more fanfare than the first one she received that evening, arriving with a little chime next to her pot full of pasta water. It is innocuous and small on the screen - just a requisite questionnaire that is mostly contact information that will be redacted, and a nondescript box requesting the purpose of her visit.
The text field beneath sits insidiously smug, cursor waving to her with its blinking. It insists on her brevity - one-thousand and two-hundred characters or less, if she would please.
---
Will Graham can't stop pretending to be Molly Foster's perfect person. Molly, in great naivete, thinks she should learn how to return the favor for the long term health of their marriage.

Summary
Six months after Aziraphale leaves Crowley for Heaven, he finds a way to secretly speak with him. The supreme Archangel has changed his mind; heaven and hell cannot be fixed, cannot be changed. Instead they must be rendered obsolete.
There’s only one weapon in the cosmos with the power to destroy the Book of Life and the power it holds over all supernatural beings: the flaming sword of Eden. But Aziraphale’s sword has been… relocated. In order to find it, Crowley must journey to the darkest layers of Hell where horrors and temptations alike await him.
He will get home. He will return to Aziraphale no matter what it takes… right?
