    Summary

    Auntie Em’s Garden Gnome Emporium had never seen a visitor like this one before: a mortal woman, armed with Celestial Bronze and a plastic hand mirror, carrying a small dark-haired child in a sling at her side.

    The little one wore a sleeping mask that doubled as a blindfold. The woman stood with her back to Medusa, watching her in the mirror.

    “Hi there! Are you Auntie Em?” The mortal's reflection smiled at her. The fact that the woman was using the mirror annoyed Medusa. She had her eyes covered. There was no need for it.

    “I am.” Medusa gritted her teeth. “Who are you?”

    “You can call me Danaë.”

    “Are you here to kill me, Danaë?”

    “I hope not.” With the hand that also clutched the bronze makhaira, the mortal reached into her purse and withdrew a small pouch. It jingled with the telltale sound of drachmas. “I’d like to commission a sculpture of my husband.”

    Summary

    Ilyukhina wakes up light years away from her home, from her promised path to a heroic, honourable end. A hundred thousand miles from all the people she left behind. Her induced coma went on too long, and now she's missed all the action, all the decisions, and opened her eyes to an epilogue to a story that should've been hers too, because why else did she leave? To go home, is the wish in her heart, with the only friend she has left.

    Grace chose to come home, light years away from the porch where he'd throw his bag after school. A hundred thousand miles, and not a single regret, except now there is somebody who's home isn't here. To stay, is the wish in his heart, with the only part of the porch that he'd ever care to keep around.

    Ilyukhina wakes up half a year after Grace is settled on Erid.

    It's a shame, then, that he's absent.
