    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

    Damian Desmond wakes up with a hangover, a migraine, and an elevator intercom that cheerily informs him he’s dead, which is certainly a bold claim to make before breakfast.

    The afterlife is a cocktail lounge. The bartender is Anya Forger, the girl he bullied, secretly loved, and spent six years destroying himself over after she was murdered. She doesn’t remember him. Instead, she offers him drinks, stickers, and no explanations. He offers the emotional stability of a rotting bookshelf.

    He’s not ready to choose his next life. He’s not ready to let go.

    He’s definitely not ready to fall in love with her all over again.

    Summary

    He thinks of her hiding somewhere with an empire of books, cackling and reading and rereading and never getting caught for her thefts, and his smile is completely out of place at the funeral. AU Rudy lives, Liesel does not.

    Summary

    It happens like this, in a single fateful moment. A pilot sneezes, and the bombs, when they fall, are off-target. [AU].
