Summary
Gandra is a many great, wonderful, brilliant things that Fenton admires, none more so than her fiery passion, the literal spark he felt on their very first date. But it's times like these he's worried that spark will catch, spread, grow into an inferno, consuming her from the inside out. She'd burn herself out before admitting to anything she thought resembled a weakness.
The day after they return from the Lost Library, Fenton and Gandra make a plan for going forward.

Summary
Gandra was just supposed to pick his brain, maybe learn something new she could use for her own work. Hell, the Suit doesn't even like her because she works for F.O.W.L., but science goes beyond something as trivial as who you work for, and they both knew it.
At no point was she supposed to fall in love with the guy.

Drake Mallard is a lonely actor who just got his big break.

Summary
When Negaduck takes out the Audubon Bay Bridge in the middle of the day, Drake fights the villain as a civilian. But there's something unnervingly familiar about Negaduck.
Like...freakishly so. Like maybe they met on the set of First Darkness and Negaduck tried to kill him in retaliation for stealing his once famous role, and ultimately died in the resulting studio fire.
But. That's crazy.
Right?

Summary
If she closed her eyes and focused on his voice, she could imagine she was back in his little bedroom at Medda's, lying with her head on his chest as he talked. She could imagine the smell of the ocean drifting in from his open window, the pounding of feet as his siblings ran up and down the stairs. She almost fell for it.
"Katherine?" His voice crackled over the line, and she was brought sharply back to reality.

summer heat, boy and girl meet by WritingToKeepMySanity

Summary
Honestly, it was the oldest cliche in the book. Local boy, out-of-town girl, with only the summer together? It was straight out of a musical.
Only this story would actually end with the summer. No surprise reunions after school started again in the fall, just these twelve weeks of riding in his truck, winning tickets at the arcade, ice cream dates where they tried to outdo each other in worst combination, and trying desperately not to fall in love with the local boy.
