    Summary

    Grazilaxx defected from his hive to preserve the one thing illithids weren’t meant to have—independence. Now a founder of the Society of Brilliance, he specializes in aberrant psychology, and his newest subject of study is a highly unusual beholder named Lorthuun. With their flair for metaphor, complicated history with the Zhentarim, and dangerous split mind, Lorthuun rapidly drags Grazilaxx out of his comfort zone and into a spiral of fixation.

    What began as a clinical study warps into mutual fascination as the icy mentality of an illithid clashes against the chaotic heat of a beholder. It doesn’t take long before that fascination curdles into obsession. And obsession, the most dangerous emotion among aberrations, soon metastasizes into a twisted form of connection.

    This is a slow-burn dark romance about identity, control, and the unbearable intimacy of trust among monsters, told through the perspective of an illithid struggling to reconcile his instinctive emotional repression with his yearning for psionic resonance.

    Summary

    This was supposed to be a typical bug hunt. The plan itself was simple: locate the hive; rescue any humans found along the way; kill the queen, then the hive; and celebrate with the squad over a few rounds after everything is accounted for; rinse and repeat. Corporal Caleb Grace wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary, until he meets face-to-face with a yautja hunter deep inside the hive. The pair begrudgingly work together to survive, fighting off the xenomorphs while also fighting off the feelings they have for each other. ;)

    Summary

    After the War for Liberation, City 31 stands against the odds. A tentative peace exists within its borders. But the war's closing battles rage on elsewhere, and scavengers continue to toil as everyone desperately seeks scraps of the old regime's technology in order to maintain some semblance of civilized life.

    When a massive batch of fertilized viper eggs is found in an ADVENT storage facility, City 31 takes up the cause. Fearful that disposal would look bad to its non-human population, the city asks its resident vipers for assistance in raising the young.

    Jia, a former soldier turned schoolteacher, considers the offer. Already familiar with human children and further enticed by the promised increase in basic income, she asks herself: how hard could it be?

    Summary

    Silas is a scientist--a xenobiologist--finally given the chance to help lead a survey on a new world beyond humanity's normal range. With the Collective's permission they have reached what they call Planet D-29768, but there's a catch: the Yautja control this world, and their brief truce is conditional. Silas has no desire to stir up trouble, but there are forces at play behind the scenes that may not have such good intentions.

    Summary

    Most, when presented with ADVENT, would not hesitate to ring the death knell for them. The Elders fully expect this as XCOM draws closer to the Hunter's Stronghold. But when faced with a fate far different than what they ever could have imagined, how will the Chosen react in the face of it? Where will their future lead?

    Summary

    Regard vissé sur le visage parfaitement sérieux de Sebastian, Ruvik se sentit plisser les yeux et le nez avant d'avoir eu le temps de s'en empêcher. C'était fou comme il avait du mal à rester parfaitement impassible, ces derniers temps.
    D'un autre côté, tempéra-t-il, il passait son temps à surveiller Lily. Or Lily avait beau être une petite fille parfaitement standard à tout les niveaux, elle aimait aussi beaucoup dessiner - ce qui impliquait d'imiter l'expression des personnages qu'elle crayonnait, dans son cas (même les papillons ; ce qui avait quelque chose d'assez impressionnant, il voulait bien l'admettre).
    A force de la fixer faire la grimace, il s'en était imprégné. Simples mathématiques. Il n'était absolument pas influencé par ses - est-ce qu'il était en train de se moquer de lui, là ?

    « Je peux savoir ce qui te fait rire ?

    -Toi. »

    L'air tout sauf impressionné, Ruvik lui lança un regard censé transmettre tout ce qu'il pensait de la situation. A savoir : tu es ridicule, tu as le QI d'un écureuil et je n'ai aucune idée de ce que je fais encore ici.
    Ou juste une toute petite.

    Mais ça, plutôt mourir que de l'admettre.

    Summary

    MOBIUS had descended upon Beacon the instant Jimenez had flipped the switch against their orders, a futile attempt to stake control over the situation and no doubt monitor what they could of the world he had created within STEM. They had critically underestimated the situation they had put themselves in by not scrapping the project entirely, so eager to have the control they sought over the world. It was evident in the fact that they had only sent that damnable woman, a mere peon, in to retrieve Leslie. They had known that he was in there, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, for the moment that he could escape.

    Summary

    Sometimes, as much as Corvo wishes it were not true, just sometimes you need to hire the shifty people he would normally toss into a cell. Because just sometimes, only a master thief can retrieve something or pester a highborn giving Emily hell in a way that would not raise any suspicions. So sometimes, just sometimes, Corvo hires Garrett, the master thief.

While there, she is rejoined with the hunter she thought she would never see again. The decisions Lex makes in this town will send her on a new life path which will be tough and bloody... but she still finds love and family even when far from home.

    Summary

    She’d be lying if she said she hadn’t planned to do it, which was probably one of the reasons she was avoiding asking herself that question. But the thought was still there in the back of her mind, vague and nebulous and, worst of all, revealing in a way that made her feel some undefined mixture of vulnerable and irritated. So what? Maybe she had planned to. But it was something that needed to be fixed and understood, and meticulous planning was what she did regardless of the subject; the question she had hoped to answer wasn’t any more significant than any other question she had ever had.

    At any rate, there was no denying one thing: of all people, she’d kissed Junkrat.

    Summary

    McCree felt the ambush seconds before it happened. He shouted a quick warning, ducking into a doorway as he drew Peacekeeper and thumbed the hammer back. He caught a couple of bandits as they emerged from an alley, dispatching them with a bullet to the head each. He was sighting down a third when his communicator went off. He hits the button to receive the call on his earpiece, ready to update Winston on their situation.
    “McCree here, we’re under attack,” he yells, shooting the bandit he’d found a few moments earlier. He ducks back behind the wall to reload when a voice, clearly not the one he was expecting, crackled in his ear.
    “Jesse? Jesse is that you,” asks an older woman over the communicator.
    “Ma?! How in the hell did you get this number,” McCree stops in his tracks, disbelief that his mother, of all people, was calling him. In the middle of a firefight.

    Or, one does not simply ignore Ma McCree.

    Jason finds himself being drawn to the beach where he can stare over the water at Vaas' island, night after night.
    At first he manages to convince himself that it's pride. Relief. Maybe a way to scan the area for any sign of life.
    But as his feet takes him in that direction on the third night, he knows there has to be more to it.
