    Summary

    Anya Forger has lived five lives. In every single one, Damian Desmond becomes Prime Minister, delivers a stirring yet ill-advised speech, and declares a war nobody asked for.

    This life, Anya opts out. She ignores politics, eats pastries, and lets history ruin itself without her involvement. That ends when she saves Damian’s life, and he responds like any sensible future warlord would: by proposing immediately. Now she’s engaged to the man who’ll destroy the world, and worse, her plan to do nothing with her life has gone off the rails.

    It’s all going surprisingly well, aside from the constant sense she’s being outmanoeuvred in a game nobody wants to admit they’re playing.

    Si vis pacem, para bellum.

    Summary

    When Loid adopted Anya and they became the Forgers, he made sure that the families with the surnames Williams, Levski, Klein, and Roche that were most likely to adopt were either no longer in Berlint or at least lived in or worked on the other side of the city. For the ones that were too close for his liking, he made sure to keep Anya away from any neighborhoods or establishments that would increase the chance of a run-in. In a city of almost 1.3 million people, there was a very small chance that the Forgers would run into any of them by happenstance. It was such a small chance that Loid had discounted the possibility after doing the math.

    Perhaps that chance hadn’t been small enough.

    Summary

    "You just need to give him a big slap across that stupid face of his!"
    “No, I don’t want to do anything like that,” Yor insisted, waving her hands in dismissal of the idea. “He hasn’t said or done anything harmful, not really, and -”
    "He can't take no for an answer! He's like a spoiled child!" Camilla argued, glaring at the other woman’s excuses. “Be more firm, dumbass! Tell him you already have a stud of a husband and to get lost!”
    “Whatever you do, it’d be better to settle this as quickly as possible.” Sharon continued, looking at the assassin with less sympathy and more exasperation. “Some people have been whispering around that you two are having a workplace affair.”
    Her heart leapt out of her throat. "An - an AFFAIR!?"

    A.K.A. It's no secret that Yor Forger is not as skilled dealing with men, and people in general, as she is with killing. So, when a new coworker gets a little too comfortable flirting with her, she has to take a stand to protect her dignity and image as a perfect wife, all while reflecting on what her pretend marriage actually means to her.
    A.K.A. Unfortunately, even badass anime assassins are not immune to stubborn misogynists and workplace harassers.

    Summary

    Those hands of his have killed, maimed and spilled blood too many times for him to ever fully wash the stain away.
    Those hands of his can also guide, comfort, protect and love.

    It takes Loid a peanut-loving child, a terrifyingly strong wife, and a highly intelligent dog to realize that.

    (or five times Loid Forger uses his hands to express love, and the one time he receives love through touch)
