    Summary

    Achilles: FUCK HECTOR! HE SUCKS! HE SHOULD CHOKE ON HIS OWN DI--

    Bartender: Whoa, what has that Hector guy done to get you in such a state?

    [slightly manic laughter]

    Achilles: What has Hector ever done to me, you asked? What has Hector ever done to me? What hasn't he done?

    Bartender: Maybe you should--

    Achilles: No, hear me out. Listen.

    Imagine this: you turn sixteen. Your best friend likes boys-- which is fine because you aren't homophobic; it's just also not fine because you realize that you love him right then and there.... but he has a boyfriend.

    Imagine this: you turn eighteen, they break up-- your best friend, a beautiful bisexual man-- swears off men.

    Can you fucking believe that?

    Bartender: I'm sure he doesn't mean it.

    Achilles: I thought so too.

    [a long tense pause]

    Achilles: It's been two years. He has a girlfriend now. She told me she plans on marrying him.

    Bartender: Oh. ... The next drink is on me, kid.

    Summary

    Professor Emmrich Volkarin isn’t supposed to believe in destiny; he measures time in rules and fixed points. Ivy “Rook” Ingellvar believes in surviving until the next hour. They meet in reverse; her last encounter is his first, and every crossing leaves fingerprints: honey-and-Fade on the air, a name that feels like a memory, a kiss that arrives years too early.

    From Kirkwall’s rain-slick alleys to a Nevarran temple where walls are made of moving memory, they chase anomalies, a phylactery clock bound to her life, and a mirror that promises resurrection at a price. When time demands a sacrifice, Rook chooses the world. Grief remakes Emmrich, but her journal begins to write from beyond its ending, leading him to a garden between dream and memory where the question isn’t how to rewrite the past—but how to love what remains.

    Summary

    He showed me a book. A small red notebook with too many lined pages and a blank cover. I don’t like the color red. I wish it was blue instead. But he handed me the book, then a matching red pen that writes in dark black ink. He told me he wanted to “try something.” It sounded like he was referring to me as some sort of lab rat, or guinea pig for an experiment. Who knows, maybe he was trying to make it sound that way.
    “Write in this book every day, once per day.” He said, and pointed to the red book he had given me. “Treat it as your diary.” And then he asked if I’d ever kept a diary before. I said no, which made him smile because “it’s never too late to start.”
    “You have 20 days.” He said. “20 days to write down everything. Then you’ll be done.”

    Or; A diary provides a dive into the inner workings of a mind.

    Summary

    Martha Laurens’ reflects on her life and her wedding to John. At the end, she gets to the conclusion that the best thing for her child is for her to be a beautiful little fool.

    I pray that she might be lovely, docile, admired. One of those bright-eyed girls who laughs without knowing why. A fool. A beautiful little fool. Because cleverness and understanding only bring sorrow. They show you what you cannot have, they show you the injustice in the world. They are like fresh water and ripe fruit at the tip of Tantalus’ fingers, just out of reach, tempting one with what one cannot have.

    Summary

    Now, we’ll begin this story from the very end—once more.
    In the summer of 1981, the chaos of the wizarding war rapidly escalates after Peter Pettigrew’s betrayal, leaving the Order of the Phoenix on the brink of collapse. A series of bombings orchestrated by Pettigrew triggers a massive breakout from Azkaban, plunging the Order into crisis amid a rising tide of suspicion and scrutiny from within and without. On the run, James Potter and Lily Evans are rescued by the fugitive Sirius Black and take refuge in the ancient Black family home at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.
    With both the Ministry of Magic and Death Eaters closing in, James is forced to take up the mantle of interim leader of the Order. Bound by circumstance, he finds himself reluctantly partnered with Sirius—a man marked by a notorious past and tangled family loyalties. Together, they are drawn into the dangerous crosscurrents of family feuds, underground networks, and shifting magical authorities.
    Their fates now forcibly entwined, James and Sirius forge a fragile alliance—testing the boundaries of trust and belonging in the shadows of war, betrayal, and fractured identity, as they struggle to survive and search for the faintest hope of a future.

    Summary

    In the Year of the Realm 865, nothing happens. It is unremarkable by many metrics, the slow war between Sanbreque and Waloed; Dhalmekia’s attempts at rousing more trade, Kanver forcefully continuing to establish itself. Twinside glitters, as it does, and the blight grows ominously, as it does. Nothing includes a branded imperial solider waking up in the middle of a night, and then vanishing. It is starkly unremarkable. Soldiers go missing and die all the time, of course, especially the branded, who are thrown at the front lines or impossible tasks by their superiors with glee. The soldier is forgotten before the week is over.

    In the Year of the Realm 866, Drake's Breath disintegrates in a fiery explosion. It may be related.

    Summary

    Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything on this cruel world that could wash away such feeling. It wasn’t a spark and most definitely not what lucid dreamers call “love at first sight”. It was pure interest driven by something that could not yet be named.

    Summary

    The mission is over, but the horror has begun to set in. The Spiez are not talking, choosing to stubbornly remain silent about what had happened. A lab lies in complete ruins. The evidence lost or destroyed in the process. A villain is dead. The footage from cameras and their Eye-Techs mysteriously disabled thirty minutes prior to their evacuation back to WOOHP.

    Jerry knows that something happened. He can sense it as well as see it. However, with the Spiez' unwillingness to tell the full story, he takes it upon himself to unravel the truth by tracing their debriefs in reverse in an attempt to figure out the truth.

    However, getting the truth is a double-edged sword, one that reveals a truth more horrifying than Jerry ever imagined was possible.
