    Summary

    “Can I tell you a secret?"

    "I'm good with secrets. Part of the bartenders code and all that."

    Dani smiles, eyes flitting up to Jamie’s. “I’m kind of glad I came to the wrong bar. I really wasn't in the mood to meet some random guy my friends think might be a good fit for me."

    "Bad taste?" Jamie asks

    "I hope not. They're friends with me, after all."

    "Not a good sign, in my opinion."

    Dani laughs, throwing her head back, and Jamie is determined to make that happen again as many times as she can before the night is over.

    /

    Or: Jamie works at a dive bar in New York, Dani wanders in one night on accident, a slow burn ensues.

    Summary

    Kaz and Inej before the start of SoC, as well as some looks at after Crooked Kingdom. This is mostly one shots that will have their timeline placement or whereabouts in the notes. They are all "related" but individual scenes or stories that lead up to the events of SoC or potentially right after CK. This is both a prequel to SoC and also to my own story "Dealing With Our Demons".

    Summary

    ["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”

    “June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”

    “Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]

    ***

    On December 4, 2021, an attempt is made on President Ellen Claremont's life.

    Alex gets shot instead.
