    Summary

    “As one man to another, Commander, I must ask you: did you ever wonder why I wore the lilac?”
    “Yeah, I wondered,” said Vimes.
    “But you never asked.”
    “No. I never asked,” said Vimes shortly. “It’s a flower. Anyone can wear a flower.”

    This is a re-telling of Night Watch from the viewpoint of Vetinari. 'John Keel' and Vetinari never directly meet in Night Watch, but they have indirect interactions. It's clear Vetinari is fascinated by him. After the People's Revolution of the Glorious 25th of May, Vetinari would have investigated and pieced the whole story together. Many of the phrases and concepts are borrowed directly from the book, with reverence, plus original materials.
    If you haven't read Night Watch, Samuel Vimes gets magically thrown back in time 30 years, just before a revolution in Ankh-Morpork. He assumes the role of his own mentor, John Keel, to the Night Watch recruit Sam Vimes and has to make sure his actions take place correctly in order to get home. Young Vetinari is also influenced by Vimes/ Keel. Being Vimes, he soon finds conflicts between what he wants and what the turbulent city needs.

    Summary

    For eternity, Death has walked alone, silent, certain, unshakable. Guiding souls from one life to the next, always just on time, always out of reach. But something has changed.

    In the quiet corners of Far Far Away, souls are vanishing. Not dying—disappearing. No trace, no echo. Just gone. For the first time in forever, Death is late. For the first time… he feels powerless.

    He descends into a world of fairytales and fools, chasing a mystery he doesn’t understand. And the more he searches, the more the world begins to unravel beneath his feet—and within himself.

     

    What is Death, if he can’t do the one thing he was made for?

     

    “I don’t want to be followed,” he says, voice quiet.
    “Then walk beside me,” Puss replies. And doesn’t let go.

    Summary

    Fun fact: interview-based research typically has to go through ethical review, and while oral histories have generally been exempt, that is less and less the case.

    Another fun fact: Tim is no longer allowed to fill out paperwork.
