Summary
"The whole point of all of this is to spill his blood - their blood, his blood, it is the same, it is made of the same essence, isn’t that what would make them all kings - so that he can see the essence of himself running along the floor and scream and scream and scream."
***
Contemplating her sleeping children, Medea wonders what it would take to spill Jason's blood -- and, she supposes, thereby spill her own, too.

Summary
Catalina de Aragon, in an attempt to defend her daughter Mary I from a historian’s slander, ends up telling the entire house that sometimes beheading a teenage girl is a necessary and justifiable decision. When Katherine Howard emphatically disagrees, the house descends into an enormous argument about historical revisionism and contemporary context.
Meanwhile, the queens agree to help a new batch of reincarnated Tudors adjust to the modern world. Only after Lina’s and Kitty’s argument do they discover that this new group includes both Mary I and the teenager she beheaded, Jane Grey. Lina and Kitty must somehow put aside their disagreements to help Mary, Jane, and the others adjust - but what if Mary and Jane don’t want to adjust, or don’t feel able to put the sixteenth century in the past?
A multichapter philosophical exploration of historiography and contemporary vs modern historical interpretations - but ultimately a story about friendship, healing, and the power of forgiveness.

Summary
Command School took its toll on Ender, but there were always fellow students looking out for him in ways he never knew. Like Ender's backup - the teachers' second-best prospect - who took over for three days after Ender collapsed during practice. Canon-compatible.

Summary
Elphaba’s relationship with water began when she was just a few minutes old, when the midwife almost drowned her trying to scrub the green from her skin. It ended when she was twenty-four and pretended to die under the hand (well, bucket) of a teenager from Kansas. One-shot, tracing Elphaba’s life through a series of interactions with water.
