Summary
’Twas the night before Christmas, the flat locked up tight,
No spies in the hallway, no threats for the night.
No laws were respected, but spirits were bright -
Underage drinking and things set alight.Series

Summary
Alex Rider has a maths quiz at nine, a football match at four, and a former assassin making him dinner in the meantime. It’s not exactly normal. But it’s close.
After escaping the absolute disaster that was MI6, SCORPIA, and one extremely traumatic tropical holiday, Alex has carved out a new life in Geneva with Yassen Gregorovich - his one-time would-be murderer, now part-time soccer mum. Alex has friends, a school ID that probably won’t flag him on a government watchlist, and a near-complete immunity to green vegetables. Yassen, meanwhile, is learning the joys of kale, folding chairs, and passive-aggressive parent-teacher nights.
But paranoia is a hard habit to break - and when a stranger from Yassen's past shows up, everything starts to crack. Because Yassen is acting jumpy. Alex is having flashbacks. And someone has just installed a surveillance camera above their door.
Which is never a good sign.
Now Alex has to figure out whether this is a false alarm or the beginning of something worse. Like, say, a return to international espionage. Or emotional vulnerability.
Possibly both.

Summary
Alex knows a spy when he sees one. The man who stands before him should be nervous, hand twitching for his gun, now that he’s face-to-face with his mission for the first time. Alex knows the man’s a spy because he recognises the dead-eyed face that stares back at him from the mirror each morning.
There is a spy on Port de Pollenca, and he is going to take away everything Alex has managed to scavenge from the wreck MI6 made of his life.
Or
The Night Manager AU: Yassen is semi-retired and has semi-adopted Alex. They are guests of Richard Roper (billionaire with suspicious origin of wealth) while Yassen finalises his role in what he claims is an agricultural equipment company. But Alex wasn’t trained as a spy yesterday and knows that not all is as it seems. His suspicions are heightened by the appearance of a mysterious stranger on the island.
The stranger - a British spy, if Alex ever saw one - has infiltrated whatever it is that Yassen has gotten himself into. Now it is up to Alex to get them both out and away before they lose everything Alex is so desperate to keep.

Summary
Pamela Barnes has seen patients lost in paperwork before, buried alive under diagnoses that weren’t theirs to carry. Fifteen years of practice have taught her what to fear and what to trust.
But when Dean brings Castiel into her office for the first time, she strips the case back to its raw bones — and finds something far older, darker, and more dangerous than a string of clinical errors.
There are symptoms. There are signs. There are things you can’t put in the notes.
And once a name is written, it can never be unwritten.
