Summary
“His life had always orbited Oscar’s, like the smaller moon that never quite got far enough away to be anything else. Now, he could feel the orbit tightening. Gravity pulling them both toward the same center. He reached the Lexus, curled his fingers into the edge of the tarp, and took a breath. This was the line. He crossed it.”
Nico moves between worlds that should never touch. Private school uniforms and strip mall parking lots. Fluorescent classrooms and salvage yards. The fragile promise of escape and the older, fiercer pull of survival. At Woodlawn Preparatory Academy, there are quizzes and scholarship expectations and the slow, bewildering possibility of being seen. In Oscar’s orbit, there’s loyalty, danger, and the kind of love that has teeth in it.
When one world begins to bleed into the other, Nico finds himself caught between the life he’s always known and one he doesn’t know how to want.

Summary
King Dice had many titles attributed to him: the King of Swing, the Charmer, and for those who dabbled in the occult and selling and buying of souls: Heaven Sent. It was uncanny how fast King Dice rose to prominence and among the occultists, there was but one answer: Dice was blessed by Heaven. A tainted soul was worth a deal with the Devil, but a soul blessed by Heaven, ripened for corruption and begging to be violated and claimed? That may be worth the entire cosmos. And now, one zealot, famed occultists, Anton Mangus, has decided to be the broker for the ultimate sacrifice: Dice’s soul for world domination.

Summary
Uma companhia indelével; o vínculo entre coração e mente; a guerra infindável travada entre os confins da alma e o estado de vigília.
A carência material, uma reviravolta, um pensamento. Um reencontro, uma dor e uma esperança.
A gritante distinção: do sonho pueril para a cruel monotonia adulta, da doce mentira para a pungente realidade, da utopia ao desespero.
A arma que é fruto da ciência não trouxe fim àquele que lhe era próximo, e nem as flores foram o último resquício do amigo dela.
Existem instantes em que o único caminho existente é lutar contra o próprio Cosmos. -

Summary

"Sunday- well, I guess it was Monday morning."

"It's Monday afternoon!" Ruggie broke the silence again, reaching forward to grab at the lapels of Kalim's jacket, "Give that damn sandwich back and go home, ya dumbass!"
"No! I just said I can't!" Kalim yelled in return, not fighting back as the brunette shook him around like a ragdoll.

Summary
Abraxas Malfoy lost everything in the spring of 1948 — the manor, the portraits, the peacocks, and the last illusions of what it meant to be a Malfoy.
Tom Riddle was waiting for him at the door of Borgin and Burkes when he finally ran out of other options. Not out of charity. Never out of charity.
"I had useful things to do," Tom said, when Abraxas asked why he hadn't bothered to mock him. "I had no time to laugh at you."
They shared a floor above a dark artifacts shop in Knockturn Alley. They shared cheap meals of potatoes and onion. They shared things that didn't have names, in a narrow iron bed, in the dark. -

Summary
Sexual assault. He rolls it around in his head. It’s ridiculous.
It’s a messed up, life ruining accusation; he’d never do something like that to any girl. The idea is positively mental, makes him ill. His parents raised him well, taught him the importance of consent- No means no, respect her boundaries, ask first, all of it. James Potter would never take advantage of someone sexually. But that’s not what he’s been charged with, not exactly.
The lake… it doesn’t count. It was a stupid prank, it’s what the Marauders are known for, their source of infamy, it didn’t mean anything beyond that. It’s not like he’d known Snivellus hadn’t been wearing any trousers when he cast Levicorpus, it just happened that way, and he’d only gone further because he’d called Evans that awful word.
OR
James Potter overhears a conversation that prompts him to consider his actions and issue an apology to one Severus Snape or risk being taken to court.
