Summary
Juniper hadn’t thought about Sebastian in years, ever since they graduated from college and went their separate ways. When she finds a letter from her grandpa in her desk drawer at work inviting her to live on his vacant farm, she remembers that Stardew Valley was where Sebastian had said he was from, but she was sure he couldn’t live there now. He was talented at programming and a talent like that surely took him to a fancy company in Zuzu City or even beyond. When she arrives at Stardew Valley, she quickly develops a friendship with the outgoing, blue-haired bartender, Emily, who insists that Juniper visit her at work, and often. One night, as Juniper is settling in for a night visiting Emily at work, she sees the ghost from her past, the one person she never thought she’d see again. His presence in her life again stirs up many prior memories of their time together at college, and the rocky road that led them to a tumultuous end. Now, Juniper is left to wonder how she is supposed to maneuver through living in this small town, when the one person who knew the girl she was in another life seems to be hiding around every dark corner, reminding her of the past.

Abby keeps herself distracted with Nora, Mel settles into something steady with Owen, it's easier that way for them. it has to be.
but it never really stopped being about them.
misread moments, bad timing, and all the things neither of them have the guts to say piles up until it becomes overwhelmingly impossible to ignore what they're still trying to hold onto. what they couldn't let go of.

Summary
Katsuki saw Shoto pause, his hand drifting up toward the comms piece in his ear. Izuku noticed, too, and went quiet, gently rolling the ball to Taiyo to keep her occupied.
“Shoto responding, ETA three minutes.”
He glanced to Katsuki, and Katsuki stood up. “Gotta go?”
“Gotta go.”
“How’s the knee?”
“Feels good.”
“Home in one piece for dinner.”
“Always.” Shoto kissed Katsuki, gave Taiyo one last ear ruffle, and waved to Izuku as he ran out the door.
Katsuki Bakugo has worn a ticking time bomb on his right arm since the War. It goes out in the only way possible - in the middle of battle, in a bloody blaze of glory. He wakes up with icy fingers in his remaining hand: Shoto Todoroki, the Number Two Hero, the man he married, and the one who'd snatched his falling carcass out of the sky.
In the aftermath, Katsuki works to navigate a new missing limb. Shoto's a perfect support. But the ties of their relationship fray under the strain, and both their careers are on the line. Will they figure out how to talk to each other again, or did Katsuki's right arm blow up their future, too?

Summary
Instead of leaving Neytiri for dead after shooting her in the shoulder with an arrow, Varang displays an odd act of kindness by saving her. She only does this because when they went toe-to-toe in the sky, she could see how ferocious the other woman was. She sees herself in Neytiri, and can see how much fight she has in her heart.
Somehow, Neytiri manages to convince her to join forces against the RDA (this occurs before Quaritch approaches the Mangkwan). When the colonel does come, she agrees to help him find the other “Sky Man." Little does he know, she’s been intentionally placed just for the sake of misleading him, which she does for a while… Until the power becomes too delicious to pass up.
Just like Jake and Quaritch, in a sense, Varang and Neytiri are two sides of the same coin. Varang’s incessant need to claim ownership over everything causes her to encounter some hard-to-navigate feelings.
