Summary
“Fine, yes. I do think about it. Doing…that.”
It’s not quite the risk that was “Charles, I’m in love with you” on the stairs ascending from Hell, but he still feels like rolling underneath the sofa to hide. He doesn’t even know what he’s asking for, not completely.

He just has to figure out how.

Summary
"Next question: If there was a book written about you, what would it be called?" Roger asked, looking up at her with his chin resting on his knees.
Jane sat down on her stoop next to him, staring at her shoes in front of her. "The phonebook? I don't know, I don't think I'd even be the protagonist in my own story."
Roger cocked his head, his jovial expression slipping into something resembling sincerity. "I don't think that's true at all, Deaky. I think people are going to know who you are."
"I'd honestly prefer if they didn't."

Summary
Twenty years after The Great Purge and the continuing effects of a High Priestess’s curse, Albion is a nation on the brink of collapse. Not even High Chancellor Uther Pendragon’s Compatibility Regime can curb the plummeting population. To add to his troubles, his wayward son, Arthur, makes no disguise of his unwillingness to wed. With good reason. Arthur is secretly leading the Movement, a covert organisation plotting to overthrow the government and return magic to Albion. Not to mention, it’s been foreseen that Arthur’s future, his destiny, is an indomitable union with a warlock—not marriage to the farm-boy matched to him by Uther’s Compatibility Machines.

Summary
Nolan's met what feels like a ton of people since him and Kev moved out here, and he barely remembers their faces, despite every single one of them telling Kevin their whole life stories while Nolan sat back and scowled.
He remembers TK though: how he'd somehow taught Nolan how to use an axe without making him feel stupid, how he'd said "I like your shirt," and made Nolan feel nervous, and the exact way he'd said, "I need a little ponytail like you," so sincere it was, like, weird.
He had recognized TK's black truck pulling into the driveway, even before TK bounced out and started yelling about goats.
Temporarily on hiatus due to life being overwhelming.

Summary
Patroclus is not the Chosen One; he is not even sure he belongs in this world half the time. He knows the Chosen One and he's a boy just like himself—except he’s golden and perfect, he’s the star Quidditch player and he's the most powerful and gifted wizard in history. He’s destined to save all of magic someday. Patroclus kind of wants to hate him but Achilles makes it impossible.
The Harry Potter and Song of Achilles mashup you never knew you wanted (hopefully).

Summary
Achilles is the bastard son of a wealthy landowning farming family in rural Australia. Quick witted, savage and charming, Achilles has the world at his feet and half a mind to burn it down.
At twelve, a distant country cousin comes to stay with him - kind, patient Patroclus. Privately tutored together for years, an attraction sparks, but the more Achilles presses Patroclus to admit his feelings, the more he wriggles out of it. Achilles tells himself it's fine; he doesn't mind watching Patroclus squirm.
