Summary
"But I would do anything to protect all of you. Horrible things, to be honest, as long as I could be sure you were all safe."
---
Housemaiden Mirabelle wouldn't have been the first person you killed for the King's wish, but she could've been the last. (Should've been. Would've been, if you were better at your job!) But a missed opportunity last month, a second's hesitation last week, a very stupid failure this morning, and now you're tied to a blinding tree in the middle of her party's camp with an injured leg.
And... well... you're not stupid. The question here isn't whether they'll kill you or not. It's what they'll do to you first.
You have information they could use, after all.

Summary
Duncan reaches up to cup Paul’s face; he brushes a thumb over Paul’s cheek. He tilts Paul’s face this way and that.
“You look like you never sleep.”
Paul can barely breathe. He doesn’t know what to say. He hasn't slept, not well, anyway. He wakes up early or in fits in the night, and he can never escape those strange dreams. They’re getting harder to shake during the day.
Duncan’s hand drops away.
“You can stay with me,” Duncan offers. “Anytime you need. Tonight, if you want. If it will help you sleep.”
***
Paul has trouble sleeping. More accurately, he has trouble with his dreams. Duncan Idaho notices something off with his boy, and he offers Paul a place to stay. Paul only has to take him up on it.

Summary
Telemachus knew the mere thought was enough to break the rules of Xenia, but he just couldn’t take any more:
Antinous needed to die.
Telemachus had never killed anyone before, or anything even. Yet here he was, atop a sleeping soul, dagger pressed against its tender flesh, with the sole purpose of sending it to Hades once and for all. One little flick of his wrist would be enough to spill blood.
Antinous deserved it.
Then why couldn't he?

Summary
Maybe it was the way his eyes sharpened as he looked around, mostly towards the ceiling, or how he stood taller, the way he squared his shoulders. Whatever it had been, it instantly worried him. He stood from his chair, just as the man zeroed in on something and began to walk, gait too long and hurried to be natural, one hand deep inside his coat, completely concealed.
Something deep inside Fjord, roiling in his gut, screamed at him to move.
In a single, fluid, practiced movement, the man lifted his hand. It blackened and flaked and ignited with a snap, bright with arcane flame and energy Fjord had only ever heard about in stories and urban legends.
And then an alarm went off. And the sprinklers began raining down.

Summary
It's been a year since the Netherbrain's defeat, and Zevlor still cannot face the humiliation of his past. Content to stalk the streets of Baldur's Gate as a vigilante, he is ready to welcome death when it makes another attempt to claim him.
But, of course, the blasted Hero of Baldur's Gate won't let him die. After saving him yet again, Tav asks him to become her personal bodyguard against the alarming number of assassins hellbent on killing her.
He knows it's her own way of helping him feel less ashamed- to give him a chance to pay off the life debts he owes her. And the chance of piecing together his own honor once more is alluring. But perhaps most of all- it's a chance to have some semblance of a friend in a world that only seems to beat him down.

Summary
Claire François is madly in love—and that's a problem.
All the things she once valued now stand in her way. The nobility could never accept her loving a commoner. The church could never accept her loving a woman. Her father would be so disappointed in her. None of that matters to her anymore, not as much as creating a future for herself and Rae Taylor. To do that, they'll first have to survive the coming revolution, and to survive, they'll have to change.
But, maybe, even with the entire world is standing against her and her love, if they can change themselves they'll have a chance to change the world.
So that's what they'll have to do—whatever it takes.

Dragons over Snakes by WHYISEVERYNAMETAKEN

Summary
A Forward by the Scholar Zuyen:
It has been a long upheld truth of our great nation that after the twin falls of the disgraced Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula, and their subsequent imprisonments, neither of the two ever regained contact with our well-respected Fire Lord Zuko. While Fire Lord Zuko ensured the humane holding conditions of his estranged father and sister immediately after his ascension to the throne, he reportedly never saw a need to continue communications with them. Before writing this book, my answer to such an obvious statement would have been, "Blasting flames—well of course he didn't!" Now, though, my answer would be quite different. But best leave that til later.
Fire Lord Zuko, when questioned about such matters, only ever gave one answer in response, saying: “A true leader has no need for snakes and scoundrels. Dragons are far superior.”
Given his far more professional reply, it is no wonder that he was the fire lord and I am a less-than-humble scholar.

Summary
The stranger squinted at him. “Weird. My dreams aren’t usually this odd."
That snapped Grian out of it. His heart slowed just enough to let his mouth catch up. “Wait. Dream?"
The man nodded, casual. “Yeah. I’m lucid dreaming. You’re a figment of my subconscious, or something like that."
Grian raised an eyebrow.
Yeah. Definitely his weirdest dream so far.
✧˖°.⟡ Or: ✧˖°.⟡
Grian is a thief, living in a crumbling alleyway shack with his younger siblings, Pearl and Jimmy. He’s also the leader of a resistance movement, formed in retaliation to a neglectful king of a crumbling kingdom — and anything he touches becomes infected by a deadly spore.
Each night, Grian meets a man he feels impossibly drawn to — a connection neither of them can explain. While something tender begins to grow between them, the resistance plans their attempt on the king’s life.
