    Summary

    It was an invitation disguised as a taunt. Ormund would not be accepting it.

    Gwayne looked at him fully then, and there was nothing soft in it. This was something with teeth. "If you were one of the lads I had under me, I wouldn't be kind to you at all."

    Ormund stubbed his foot on a loose flagstone, and he burned up the air with several violent curses that had men nearby pausing to observe with wide eyes.

    Summary

    He's better than Ormund at many things, always has been. Dueling (not grappling, never grappling), riding (but not hunting), humility over pride.

    Over the many years, he's learned that throwing the fight has a better outcome than beating his lordly cousin in any competition.

    Ormund is the Head of Hightower House, after all. Sometimes the knee must be bent.

    ------------------------------------


    "He was awful to you, earlier." Daeron looked distinctly uncomfortable as they sat together in what now passed for Gwayne's room in Tumbleton, a chess board between them. His nephew was wringing his hands as though they were wet rags and Daeron a washerwoman. "Those things he said..."

    {The false empathic look, paired with 'I'm sure you found solace with some of your brothers in arms'}

    Gwayne stared at the floor, counting the cracks he found there. "Put it from your mind, Daeron. It was meant to humiliate me, not you. Long has he missed throwing his knives at me, in my absence. That is all that was. His idea of fun. A warm welcome home, if you will."

    Summary

    Uncle Gwayne leaves Oldtown, and over the course of many months, Ormund exchanges more letters with him than Daeron has ever exchanged with his own mother. He cannot imagine what they have to say, as they rarely saw eye to eye, and Ormund oft used Gwayne as a proverbial scratching post more often than not.

    He does not think that his cousin and uncle have ever been apart this long in their entire lives, so perhaps they do not know how to not talk.

    Daeron wonders if Gwayne is happy out there in the world, free at last.

    ...and he wonders if Ormund resents that.

    Summary

    The year is 3062

    It's a new year, new Yuuji. Literally.

    Still reeling from the deepest of betrayals, Yuuji finds himself on a path of vengeance that will lead him into the darkest version of himself. It is a path that will take him back into the sinful, morally vacant arms of the one who betrayed him.

    The same person who taught him that the unseen knife always cuts the deepest.
    -

     

    Or: the sequel to the tragic, sci-fi dystopian epic where Yuuji fell in love with a man who didn't have his best interests in mind, and now that bastard is going to have to pay.

    Summary

    Spike stays with her in the aftermath of the Bone Temple. She knew he would, because puppies always cling to those who treat them with any hint of kindness.

    She can't be Jimmy Ink no more. All that's left is to be herself, and she's repulsed by herself, all things considered. She's done monstrous things, and now, traveling with Spike, she's quietly ashamed of them.

    Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal made her insides rotten, and his phantom memory still has a lot to say.

    -------

    Or: the one where Spike & Kellie go on a moody journey across the countryside.
    Sir Lord is a dark whisper in Kellie's ear.

    Summary

    They’ve traveled together for so long that they’ve turned into some grotesque version of a mother and father, trailed by a pack of feral children. Except they aren’t. She realizes they aren't equals, not even close.

    And no, she's not impressed with his title, not anymore. He’s a liar, and lately, she’s gotten tired of listening to his shite.

    More often than not, she wants to take him out back, wherever, and beat the nonsense out of him, what with all his self-aggrandized preaching. The problem is, he's a sadist, she's not, and that gives him an edge she's not entirely willing to test.

    Summary

    The ghost of someone Nobara once loved greets her at home.

    It is not a good visit.

    It is not a good visit, because her visitor is no ghost; it’s a monster wearing her loved one's skin like a costume.

    Summary

    It’s Cooper’s own damn fault that he’s got a pitiful, abandoned-by-her-daddy Vaultie traipsing behind him through the Mojave.

    She’s not Okey-Dokey, even though she claims she is.

    He knows. He’s been there before; he's been betrayed by someone he loves.

    Doesn’t mean he cares. He’s not the one. He’s not some knight in shining armor, come to put her back together again.

    Summary

    The year is 3057.

    In a time when the rich and powerful can buy their replacement body in an effort to live forever, Itadori Yuuji is born for one purpose and one purpose only; to be the next body to hold the mind of an affluent citizen. His own mind, left to fade away into obscurity, as if it never were.

    He’s not aware of this fact.

    It’s not like anyone tells him that he’s being raised like a pig for slaughter and he doesn’t see the butcher’s block in plain view until it’s too late.
    -

     

    Or: the epic sci-fi dystopian drama where Yuuji falls in love with a man who doesn't have his best interests in mind.

    Summary

    Putredine: The state of being rotten.
    :
    Sukuna wears him like an ill-fitting costume. His fingernails tear, his skin goes sallow, and the teeth in his mouth feel loose and brittle. The more time that passes, the more his body decays from the inside out, containing a curse it was never meant to survive. As a Vessel, he makes a fitting workaround to the Itadori debacle. A band-aid on a bigger problem.

    The King of Curses is sour about it, more so than he lets on. When he looks in the mirror with Megumi’s face, he sees Itadori Yuuji instead and seethes over ruined opportunity.

    Summary

    They say you choose your friends. Only, Shoko didn’t choose them, she acquired them, like a pair of stuffed animals you might win at a cheap carnival.

    Fate is unpredictable. She would have never guessed that as they grew into adults, one would become the leader of a genocidal cult and the other would be a sorcerer so powerful that even evil hid from his celestial gaze.

    Of the two, Shoko does in fact, have a favorite. It’s probably controversial.

    -

     

    Or: Shoko visits an old friend and takes a message to the other.

    Summary

    They Drift together twice.

    And no. Raleigh doesn’t want to do it a third time.

    Compared to Mako’s precise ocean of a mind, Chuck’s is a colossal shitstorm of daddy issues and grandiose views of self-importance. His neural grip is like holding hands with someone who doesn’t know how to let go. It’s way above Raleigh’s pay grade and his ‘has-been ass’ wants no part of it.

    Summary

    David Melmont takes Cornelia Locke with him to a new life across the sea, a life that she determines isn’t much of a life after all.

    At least, until she meets a man who changes everything.

    ~
    “Lady. What you’re trying to do. It ain’t my business.” The Native gestures to the area, to the construction set up for drilling water. “But I can tell you one thing. This isn’t the place.”

    Cornelia angrily fiddles with the rope in her hands, because she can’t quite get the noose right. “I’m trying to make a statement!”

    The man is silent for a moment, watching her fail to swing the rope over one of the wooden beams. His serious, liquid dark eyes seem to judge her for a fool and it almost makes Cornelia feel childish. He gazes around the space in a very collected manner before settling his intense gaze upon her flushed face. He speaks slowly, as if tasting every word. "Whoever he is, he's not here. He's not watching you. I am."

    Summary

    Cornelia should have known better. She’s not a foolish, naïve girl anymore. There’s no excuse, she’s got absolutely no excuse for her foolishness. She should have never let her guard down.

    It was so subtle, so terribly slow and patient. The cunning rattlesnake she’s lived with for years lulled her into placidity. And she let him.

    She let him. She forgot about his fangs.

    …so when he bites again, it’s just as deadly as the first time. Except it hurts worse.

    Summary

    No. Absolutely not. It’s none of his business. Eli can’t allow himself to feel pity for every rundown case he comes across out here. There are far too many for that. Especially not for some sad-eyed prostitute who makes her living on her back for the men who came and stole Eli’s land.

    Not. His. Business.

    -
    or, the one where Eli Whipp still finds himself attached to a desperate woman that he never expected or wanted to become attached to in the first place.

    Summary

    There's an unexpected knock at her condo door.

    Claire looks through the peephole and what she sees makes something like insanity shriek through her insides, like a knife wound. Ripping her open, leaving her innards spilling everywhere in an ocean of red in her mind. She can’t breathe. There’s no air in her lungs. She’s drowning. She’s suffocating.

    She opens the door, because what else is there to do? “You told me you were never coming back.” Her voice is accusing. Betrayed. She's a mess of emotions as she stares up into familiar icy blue eyes.

    It’s nearly been four years, but he still walks in, smelling of aftershave, cigarettes, and every bad choice Claire’s ever made.

    Summary

    Everything has changed, now that Furiosa is the new Immortan. Aqua Cola for all. Green things growing in abundance in the Citadel. New supply deals with the crazy neighbors.

    Plus, Nux has it all. A new project vehicle to build. Capable at his side and he’s sometimes in her bed. He’s got a big promotion inside the War Boy ranks.

    The only thing missing is his damn lancer, because Slit is not adjusting to these changes.

    ~
    Slit is giving him this look. Like he wants to reach over and punch Nux right in the gut. “Shut your stupid mouth. All I hear is blah blah traitor blah.”

    It’s impossible, talking to Slit when he’s in one of these moods. Unfortunately, he’s always in this mood, nowadays. Bitter and wrathful, all his emotion pointed directly at Nux. He’s stuck in Slit’s line of fire and Slit doesn’t intend to change his target any time soon.

    Summary

    All relationships have their struggles. Especially relationships like this one.

    -------------------------------------
    If you told Alina Starkov months ago that she’d end up in bed with not just one, but two men after her ugly breakup with Aleksander Morozova, she would have laughed you down the street.

    She never imagined her post-breakup life would be this risqué.
