Summary
“No one could snap at you.”
Agape laughed, quietly.
“The Thief of Eddis once said much the same thing”. Heiro thought she saw bitterness cross her face, so quickly she would’ve thought she imagined it, but for the wrinkles that remained in Agape’s dress where her hands had, briefly, clenched. Agape followed her gaze, lifting her hands as if to smooth the cloth, and then paused. Slowly, she returned her hands to her lap, hiding but not smoothing the crumpled cloth. Heiro smiled, turning her head back to the dance. Her earrings jingled slightly as she did, and she thought she felt Agape’s eyes on them.

Summary
The trick to Jack Abbot's coffee was that there wasn't one, and Robby had learned it anyway.
At a quarter to six Robby was at the counter, hair still wet, scrub top inside-out, half-assembled for the day shift, when Jack wandered in. He had no business being awake—it was his night off—but years of working nights had worn the ordinary hours smooth in him, and he'd never quite managed to sleep through Robby's side of the bed going cold. So he got up, the way he always did the mornings he was home, to stand in the kitchen and see the man off. His coffee was waiting on the counter—black, scalding, two sugars he'd deny to his grave that he took. Robby had made it, the way Robby made it every morning Jack was home to drink it: the one with somewhere to be looking after the one without. Jack picked it up without breaking stride, the way you'd pick up your own hand. He didn't say thank you. Thank you was for strangers. He bumped his shoulder into Robby's on the way to the window and that was the whole sentence, subject and verb and object: you, here, this.
Or:
The one where Robby finds out that Jack has been receiving mail addressed to his late wife and decides to do something about it. -

Summary
Boromir was holding the Ring on its chain in his hand. Gold shone red under the weak sunlight, and his thumb swept over it with an odd tenderness. There was a strange light in his eyes.
“What are you going to do?” Pippin heard himself ask.
There was silence for a moment. Then Boromir laughed, sudden and loud and defiant in the still air. He turned and knelt down, and Pippin fought the urge to step back from the wild, angry joy in his face. He kept very still and did not flinch when Boromir took him by the shoulders.
“My friend,” Boromir said, the light red on his face and his eyes gleaming fey. “We are going to bring back the sun.”
Boromir takes the Ring.
