Summary
Who are you? My guardian angel
or a wily tempter?
Put my doubts at rest.
Maybe this is all an empty dream,
the self-deception of an inexperienced soul,
and something quite different is to be...(translation from the liner notes of the 1987 Deutsche Grammaphone recording)
Or...what is Eugene doing and thinking while Tatiana is writing her letter?

Summary
Like this, silent and at repose, he would make a most becoming subject for a painting— she can’t help but admire the gentleness of light on his long lashes, down the pale line of his neck. Only then does she seem to notice how kind-featured he is.
Soft, in a world of harsh angles and hard paving stones, of black smoke and blacker lungs. It saddens her, that shape of a promise impossible to keep. Makes her glad, too, that he would drop the pretence and let her see him for what he is.[Hildi meets Crown Prince Orso, who does her a good turn.]

Summary
Their voices are too low for me to hear in the echoing church, so I watch their bodies instead: Mamma pacing, then turning to confront my father with a low hiss as he follows her at too close a distance. I can't even remember their divorce, let alone their marriage, but I can see how they once might have fit together. The way they circle each other is like dancing—not dancing like when Mario puts on a record in the living room and whirls Mamma about, both of them laughing, but more like each already can guess how the other is about to step.
Very loosely inspired by the infamous 2004 Latvian National Opera production, in which Tosca and Scarpia once were married to each other, and Scarpia clearly regrets the divorce. Only taken a step further, because this imagines that Tosca and Scarpia have a kid from their ill-advised marriage.

Summary
She had known what it was to desire and be desired. Only now did she realize that to love and be loved was something completely different.
Or, turning in the widening gyre, but the story as told from Tosca's perspective, instead of Scarpia's.
Very loosely inspired by the infamous 2004 Latvian National Opera production, in which Tosca and Scarpia once were married to each other, and Scarpia clearly regrets the divorce.
