Summary
And she looked like a stranger.
No longer was she the girl he’d chased on the playground. The girl who’d plucked onion weeds in the yellow-green field behind Benzo’s old shop, daring him to eat one.
But still, on the slender bridge of her nose, was that pretty splatter of freckles. Dimmed from age, sure. But there, nonetheless. Familiar in a way that struck him all at once—a punch to the gut.
--
Years after being separated, childhood best friends—Jinx and Ekko—reunite in college.

Summary
“Pretend to be my boyfriend.” She simply asked, like it was the most natural request in the world, because to her, it was.
“W-what?”
Jinx grasped his broad shoulders in her hands. “Listen to me!” She hissed and he swallowed, eyes wide open. She knew she must've looked deranged, her eyes were effortlessly analyzing every inch of his face. Her grip on his shoulder tightened, like holding onto him would ground her spiraling free thoughts. “I need you to pretend you're my boyfriend. Just for tonight,” Somehow, his eyes kept getting wider and wider. His gaze softened to complete disbelief.
“Is this a joke?”
Or
Jinx is being bothered nonstop by a guy during a party. Men don't usually listen to women, but they do listen to men, so Jinx finds herself asking the only other familiar face around a favour. Ekko enters a fake relationship with Jinx to avoid sticky situations. It was supposed to last only one night, but things get out of control and leads up to unexpected real sparks between them.

Summary
Essek goes home, and there is no one waiting at his door. This should be some manner of relief. But his towers haven't felt like a safe haven for a long time now, long before errant scourgers appeared to harass him with strange questions. He misses the immediacy of that threat, prefers it over the slow and indulgent terror of whatever punishment is coming for him, someday soon.
He tells himself that he misses only that, the simplicity of being unsafe in the company of predators, and that he does not miss the company itself.
(In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.)
