Summary
Because civilization is a specific code of social interactions, and because Opal isn't in a dream anymore, civilization has to occur.
But a year of kindergarten doesn't teach precisely what one had hoped.
(or: Opal is sent to school)

Summary
It wasn’t ever supposed to be Declan; that was just an unhappy mistake. Ronan had called Maura and Calla, initially, and they agreed to watch Opal while Adam toured Harvard and Ronan accompanied him. But then one of the pipes at Fox Way burst, and Maura told Ronan that it didn’t matter if Opal was housebroken, they had bigger things to worry about.
Then Gansey, who was normally so reliable as a backup, was called back to D.C. and he apologized but he absolutely had to go, because after the disaster on the day of the demon, he owed his mom. Henry Cheng was right out, because as far as Ronan could gather, Henry Cheng couldn’t feed himself and got kidnapped while wearing boxers, and the most responsible thing about him was a non-sentient bee.
He was about to cancel, with all apologies to Adam, when Adam called Declan and Declan talked to Adam and the next thing Ronan knew, his brother was coming to the Barns.
or: Adam goes touring colleges, and Ronan comes along. And Opal, well. She stays with Declan.Bookmarked by Wasabidancer

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.
