    Summary

    Lady Whittaker, leaning back in her chair with crossed legs, stares out the tall windows on the wall beyond. "Must I have a reason to be kind? Your misery is so great, I thought it only proper to come, given that I possess the fortune to alleviate it."

    Percival frowns, clutching the teacup. So she is indeed hoping to help. Oh, he must feel honored!

    "I thank you for your kindness and condescension, Lady Whittaker. Your consideration moves me, even if it is less than sincere," he remarks with dry mockery. "Pray, what brilliant idea has your genius devised for poor, broken little Percival Kirkland? Might I discover another stunning glimpse into the breadth of your wisdom? I can hardly wait!"

    Luciana Whittaker obliges him.

    "Marry me."

    Entrusted with a meager barony and generations' worth of debt, Lord Percival Kirkland finds an odd saving grace in his former childhood friend and most contemptible rival, Lady Luciana Whittaker.

    Summary

    If you heard "Kelly Wilson, Government Liaison to the South Hill Branch of the Justice Squad" you might imagine a sharp dressed, steely eyed, middle aged man making tough calls on the comms while local heroes engaged supervillains.

    That's Director Richardson.

    Kelly was a young woman in her late twenties, often in a rumpled skirt suit, with a much smaller office. Her job was mostly to make sure the government's money was being spent well, so she was more of an auditor than anything else. Yes, she had a badge and could technically call herself a federal agent, but you could say the same about a food safety inspector for the FDA. In a perfect world, the closest she'd come to dealing with villains was a guy at an insurance company she had to convince to pay for damage from a hero fight.

    That was a prediction that turned out to be both one hundred percent correct and incredibly misleading.

    Summary

    Orin Mesova was supposed to have a simple job. Cook food for aliens once, then never interact with aliens ever again. Then, his food made them cry. And howl. And scream in euphoria. And now they want him to keep cooking for them.

    Orin and his coworkers whisk eggs, chop veggies, and season meat for their new unusual benefactors, desperately serving as humanity's first intergalactic impression. Along the way, they'll learn more about themselves, their new universal neighbors, and the nature of food and culture on our world and beyond. Every meal they cook and every story they coax out of an alien paints part of a portrait of interplanetary politicking and scheming, with food serving as the only key capable of untangling this centuries-old web.

    And, somewhere along the way, they might form bonds with some of these aliens. Unapproved, government-prohibited bonds.
