    Summary

    Theirs was a family of strong wills. It was frustrating, at times—Clea did recognize the irony. The draw of sculpture was in the satisfaction of molding clay in just exactly the way she knew it should be molded. Even painting couldn’t give her that same control. But outside of the workshop, no one listened to her, Alicia least of all. They listened to Verso, of course; he’d spent his painting lessons daydreaming and come out the other side with a honeyed tongue. Clea could mold clay, bend metal, paint any image she wished exactly as she wished it. But by the time she was old enough to realize talent and dedication weren’t enough to bend the world to her will as well, it was too late.

    -

    Three conversations Clea and Verso have about their sister.

    Summary

    Twenty years ago, Midoriya Hisashi walked out on his wife and Quirkless child. Three days ago, Midoriya Inko received a phone call informing her of his demise and when his funeral would take place.

    Sometimes you're a 25 year old war veteran, making a difference one day at a time in a post-All For One Japan that's still feeling the repercussions of your high school days. Other times you're simply the forgotten child of a deadbeat, left to clean up your father's messes because he was too much of a coward to take any responsibility.

    And now, you're a full time big brother, because the biggest mess left behind was the child your father replaced you with.

    Now with a TV Tropes page!

    Summary

    “I won’t...” Lilith closes her eyes, her mouth flattening, like she’s in pain. “I won’t be offended if you no longer want this. Don’t worry about that. Darius would welcome such a powerful witch into his coven, I’m sure. You’d do extremely well there.”

    Amity’s mouth is so dry. Her heartbeat is a roar in her ears, so loud she can barely hear her own voice. “Of course I want this!” she insists. “I’ve always wanted this. Don't - don't give up on me. Please."

    -

    Amity Blight is a model Coven Scout, except when she isn't. She's a fierce rival of the Golden Guard, except when she isn't. And she's a friend to the Empress, except when she isn't.

    Desperate and on the verge of losing everything, Amity has several much-needed confrontations with her mother, her best friend, and her Luz.

    Summary

    “She can heal your curse, Edalyn,” Lilith says.

    “Hard pass.”

    “Eda.”

    “I don’t need it. I’m getting by just fine.” Eda grins, like that’ll somehow make the words true. “I’d sooner rip out my toenails with pliers than break bread with the Empire. Eat my entire ass, princess. The only thing worse than killing a wild witch is using her.”

    -

    In which the new human Empress of the Boiling Isles and wanted criminal Eda Clawthorne have a lot more in common than either of them expect.

    Summary

    As the heavy doors close, Luz grips Hunter’s free arm. Suddenly she’s leaning most of her weight on him, like she’s lightheaded, or like she’s having a hard time standing up.

    Hunter hears the broken-off beginnings of several sentences, half-formed words that Luz doesn’t seem capable of finishing. Finally she appears to give up on complex phrases entirely, and just whispers, “Mami?”
