    Summary

    When Christine comes down with chicken pox at thirty-six, Mary Beth is the one who stays.

    It should be simple: soup, clean sheets, keeping her comfortable until the fever breaks.

    But there’s something about the quiet, the closeness, the way Christine lets herself be taken care of that shifts things—slowly, then all at once. By the time they’re alone together again weeks later, neither of them is pretending not to notice anymore.

    Some things don’t go back the way they were.

    Summary

    1982. Two women in a city full of noise, secrets, and long nights.

    Mary Beth Lacey never meant to fall for her partner. Christine Cagney never dared hope she could have her.

    As promotions shift their world and desire changes the rules, they fight to hold on to their work, their families, and the truth that keeps pulling them toward each other.

    A slow, tender unraveling — and rebuilding — of two lives meant to collide.

    Summary

    Nyx Alandros had never seen a kilo of cocaine. She’d not felt the iron grip a hunk of white powder had over Miami. Her and her virgin nose were happy with knowing nothing about it. Alcina fucking Dimitrescu ruined that.
    One could describe Nyx’s life as pedestrian. A 26-year-old woman with aspirations of becoming the proud owner of Alandros Business Accounting once her father, Paul, passed it down. Until then, she was happy going over the accounts, crunching the numbers and informing her father if they just didn’t add up.
    ***
    Alcina crossed her legs at the knee, her black high heel almost touching Nyx’s thigh. She took the cigarette from the ashtray, flicking away the excess ash that had accumulated. “Would you like one?”

    “Yes, please.”

    The older woman fished a gold case from her purse, opening it before she extended the case towards her. A cigarette was freed, a matching lighter being held by a gloved hand. The hand suspended in the air as if waiting.

    Nyx slotted the filter between her lips and leaned forward in anticipation of the lighter. The lighter moved further out of reach as Alcina sucked her teeth. “Let the flame come to you. A woman does not show desperation in such activities.”

    Summary

    Kyoto, 1980. After returning from college in the US, languid lion Naniwa Raion inherits his grandpa’s cherished machiya storefront and reopens it as a record shop specializing in cutting edge “New Music.” All he wants is to live free and easy like the surfers and hippies of California’s 60’s who he’s always idolized, but before he knows it a pair of bickering roommates hit the fast forward button on his plans for a slow life: Urufu, a frosty wolfess whose keiretsu heiress pedigree haunts her, and Taiga, a hot-blooded ex-bosozoku tigress with nefarious connections and attitude to spare. Their paws are full just running the shop and playing music together to draw in customers as the Animal Tracks House Band—that’s “Kemonon” for short—but the shop’s colorful clientele and prime location soon attract the attention of Taiga’s yakuza uncle, who quickly tasks them with a role in the family business. What starts as a simple side gig begins to unravel faster than a broken cassette tape, and Raion soon finds his store at the center of a sprawling smuggling scheme! A meticulously researched light novel that queues up a jazz fusion of genres, Kemonon is a totally original fable of the urban jungle of Japan’s bubble era.

    Summary

    This is Part Two of Too Late to Be Careful.
    If you haven’t read Part One, this may not make much sense.

    This part begins with a flashback to the night of the Remington party, before picking up right where Part One ended.

    Now comes the fallout.
    Why does the school want Veronica to drop the charges against Kurt and Ram?
    Is football really that important—or is the school trying to hide something?
    And will Alice and Heather McNamara ever get to spend time together without interruptions?

    Summary

    Tiffany Bogard might appear to be your normal teenage girl living in 1984 in a lonely and unknown town named Northstar Rigde. Her life is full of school homeworks, mall adventures, parties every weekened, crushes and school friendships; all before she can turn 18.
    However, as her life moves onwards, Tiffany notices things that shouldn't be repeated, this triggers something that she didn't even think before: to search for the truth. Because maybe, her world and actions were already computed by someone else, someone outside of the simulation.

    Summary

    “I'm so sorry Gaz, this is– this isn't fair.” The deep, apologetic stare felt genuine enough. Gaz motioned for him to continue. “He said he heard people talking about it, at a bar back in Detroit, I don't know how people could possibly know about it but that's how he found out.” Roach started biting nervously at a hangnail.

    “It wasn’t—” He stopped himself, jaw clenching hard. “It wasn’t like that.”

    “I know,” Roach said immediately.

    Summary

    In the summer of 1986 the Pritchett siblings went out to Lake Tahoe with their parents and, of course, Jay turned it into a work trip and Dede is driving Claire up the wall. Cameron Tucker is spending the summer with his uncle Elbert who runs the lodge.
    From an alternate first meeting of the Pritchett siblings and Cam, which changes the Pritchett family, we follow them through the summers to a reimagined series and possibly beyond the series itself.

    First five chapters are setup and documentary beginnings, next eight are more documentary style recordings and time skips of their lives up until the pilot where the rewrite officially begins
