    Summary

    Quỳnh should feel sorry, for making them help Booker while she keeps a tight grasp on her Andromache. 

    She should feel sorry, and in a way, she is. 

    But she won't apologize, not when she knows she was doing something right.

    [OR : Quỳnh is out of her iron-maiden, and she vows to show Booker why he should never have hurt Andromache. It's a sort of therapy, although Nile strongly disagrees with it.]

    Summary

    She will find them. She is pitiful right now, and weak. She has never before been weak, not in her entire life, and she’d rather be dead than pitiful. Actually, at this point, she’d rather be dead than a lot of things, but she isn’t. She’s here. She's alive, and she's been alive for thousands of years, and she will not let that iron coffin and the abandonment of her family overpower her. She is out of the water now. She refuses to drown.

     

     

    Quỳnh comes up for air, comes back to life, and comes home. It just takes her a little while to get there.

    Summary

    She wraps her arms around Quynh and pulls her close. They fit against one another perfectly, the curves of their bodies slotting together like puzzle pieces. Quynh hides her face in Andy’s neck, sighing happily as Andy rests her cheek against her hair.

    Andy’s eyes meet Booker’s over the top of Quynh’s head. “You brought her back to me,” Andy says. “You brought Quynh back to me, and you came home.”

    Booker clears his throat. “You told me to have a little faith,” he says. “It took me awhile, but she helped me find it.”

     

    OR

     

    Andy learns new ways to heal after Quynh comes home.

    Summary

    Quynh’s eyes snap up to meet a collision of phenomena so strong it nearly blinds her, brightly wild and loving for eternity and heartbreaking in its loveliness and endlessly forgiving and deathless inky black. The full force of it pulls her in, like gravity.

    It is quê hương, the home of her heart, her soul.

    More than anything, Quynh wants to reach out her fingers to trace the edges of Andromache’s face, but something raw and red and raging instead commands them to lie still, so there they sit, not touching, not breathing, barely even being. Call it cowardice. Call it the anxiety of being harmed. Call it heady memory that sticks in the now. Whatever it is, it seizes her whole against her will.

    Quynh wishes she could do more, but that’s not in her nature right now.

    (Or: Quynh and the intersection of her past and future)

    Summary

    She watches Andy disappear into the night, half-expecting either Nicky or Joe to stop her or at least put up a fight, but they both do the same. And then they turn to her.

    “Nile.” Nicky’s voice is quiet, but it doesn’t sound as calm as it usually does. “Please tell us what happened last night.”

    When Nile's dreams about Quynh change shortly after they exile Booker, Andy takes her team up to a loch in Scotland and disappears to sit at the shore. As Nile works with Joe and Nicky to unpack what's going on, it becomes clear that she might be in way over her head - as if the immortality thing wasn't enough.

    A found family adventure.
