Summary
It begins the night of the car crash that took Ned Stark's life. The tragedy leaves the Stark family struggling to pick up the pieces. But Arya knows in her gut that her father's death wasn't an accident, and a clue at his graveside sends her across the narrow sea to learn the truth.
She does not return for three years.
Tywin Lannister finds it more than a little strange that three prominent CEOs in King's Landing died within a year of each other. And when the missing, declared-dead Stark girl shows up in the Lannister manor three years after she disappeared, his suspicions only grow.
A series of strange events suddenly draw the Starks and Lannisters together, forcing them to cooperate for once-or else become victims of a conspiracy they do not yet understand.

Summary
Bilba has grown up the unwanted granddaughter of the Thain of the Kingdom of Shire but, as she rarely visits the palace, the relationship holds little meaning to her. Instead she focuses on her second year of college, her ballet career and her slowly burgeoning romance with Bofur, a crew member with her ballet company.
The same day Bilba is set to preform on stage for the first time with her company, the kingdom of Shire is anticipating another event. That very evening will oversee the political, arranged marriage between Thorin Durin, Crown Prince of Erebor, and an unnamed Princess of Shire (so unnamed because Bilba's grandfather is a paranoid bastard).
Bilba doesn't care about any of this, she hasn't been invited and has no interest in other countries, politics or other such machinations.
Just before she's set to preform, however, Bilba suddenly finds herself dragged from the theater and taken to appear before her grandfather at the palace.
There she is informed she WILL be participating in the wedding after all.
As the bride.
Whether she likes it or not.

Summary
The summer after Harry's fourth year has become the worst of his life. The haunting memories of Cedric's death and Voldemort's revival were terrible enough on their own, but then came the strange visions of Death Eaters, the worsening pain in his scar, and the uncontrollable emotions that don't feel like his own. After fleeing Privet Drive, he finds himself stuck in an isolated cottage with his most hated professor: Severus Snape.

Summary
Yeon Sieun doesn’t like things that don’t make sense.
He notices the way cracks form—where they start, how they spread, what they’re trying to hide. He watches for patterns, memorizes them like equations, and waits. Quietly. Patiently. He never asks a question he doesn’t already have a theory for.
And lately, Ahn Suho has stopped making sense.
or where Ahn Suho is Spider-Man.

Homophony in Oriental Silver-Work and Applications for Non-Logographic Scripts: A Case Study in English, Using Kreyòl, French, Gaelige, and Scots Gaelic by 用玉绍缭之 (mercuryandglass) for Poetry

Summary
Abstract:
Based on the techniques described by Dejima (1836, 1845, and 1848) regarding collaborative manifestation using homophonous links (homophony chains) occasionally seen in the Oriental tradition of silver-work, this paper describes the adaptation and combination of two existing match-pairs, one from Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) to English through French (Desgraves 1846), and one from Scottish Gaelic (Scots Gaelic) to Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) (O’Nell 1839 and 1843), in order to demonstrate the efficacy of the Oriental technique for homophony chains when used with languages that do not make use of logographies, such as English.- Language:

Summary
“Well, it’s not Nami, obviously,” Sanji reasons out loud. “You two are like siblings. And as lovely as Robin-chan is, she cannot possibly be your type.” Zoro had phrased it in a way hinting at unrequited love, which means Hiyori’s out too – that woman was practically throwing herself at him every time they were in the same room. “Oh, what was that pink-haired darling’s name? Perona, no? She–”
“Cook,” Zoro deadpans, eye narrowed. “If you want to guess sometime this century, you need to stop listing women.”
———
In which Sanji gets captured by pirate hunters, Zoro is in the right place at the right time, and one thing leads to another. You know how it is.

Summary
The eldest Malfoy once thought that she and a particular pair of ginger wizards would be fast friends, but when her parents inform her that she shouldn't fraternize with such blood traitors, she shuts them, and almost everyone else, out, becoming the cold, calculating daughter they want her to be.
But when circumstances push them back together, can she find the strength of will to keep them out? For their sake, not her own? Or will she find herself too drawn to the freedom they exude and get herself wrapped up in a tangled web of secrets, love, and lies?

Summary
“I don’t know why I have to go to this stupid fucking group in the first place.” Ellie slumped in the passenger’s seat of Marlene’s big black SUV. She stared out the window at the evening skyline along the Longfellow Bridge, arms crossed over her chest, lips pressed together in a thin line.
“We’ve talked about this, Ellie,” her social worker responded calmly. “For the judge to agree to probation instead of jail time, you need to complete 12-weeks of court-mandated grief therapy, and since you refused to do individual sessions, we had to find a group that would take you. Compassionate Friends is the only one with an opening.”
“But it’s for people with dead kids,” she said flatly. Bereaved parents, was the politically correct term that the website had used.

Summary
'Bludhaven, unlike Gotham, was a quiet city. On patrol as Robin there had always been a gunshot to break the silence or a cry for help. Here she seemed to stumble upon crimes by accident. The victims all blank-faced and silent, as though accepting their fate and simply willing it to be over faster. It had surprised her the first couple of days here. Then she realized… Gotham made sound because the city expected someone to save it. Bludhaven was silent because it knew no one ever would.'
Nightwing has finally settled into a city of her own and is focused on becoming Bludhaven's newest protector.
Without the watchful eye of Batman over her shoulder, and with BPD actively against her, Rachel finds herself struggling to save a city that has no interest in being saved. As well as under the cross-hairs of a mysterious new villain, only known as Blockbuster.
