    Summary

    In 1953, the Red Scare is in full effect, sweeping Hollywood like wildfire as the American government persecutes and prosecutes suspected cultural threats to the assumed norm. A congressional summons to Washington can ruin a life, let alone a career. Yelena Belova, a talented up-and-coming actress, needs to hide her Russian roots if she wants to make it big and avoid suspicion. Robert Reynolds, beloved leading man of multiple successful films, needs to hide his true self from the media if he wants to continue his career without his name showing up on a summons letter.

    And Valentina DeFontaine, manager and agent to half of Universal's top-billed stars?

    Well. She's got a plan that just might work.

    Forgiveness is not linear.

    Or: An exercise in using Wednesday and Tyler's odyssey to find Enid as a metaphor for the road to healing and forgiveness (and other heavy-handed bouts of sentimentality).

    Summary

    Wednesday could go back and recount how she ended up here in the first place but in the next breath realized it hardly mattered how this had come about.

    Summary

    Three months after New York was swallowed by a nightmarish blanket of psychological agony, Robert Reynolds was once again just Bob.

    And Just Bob liked boring French New Wave and Depeche Mode and pictures of baby Highland cows. He stacked fries in his burgers like Jenga towers. He liked Jane Kenyon, Allen Ginsberg. Made a mean Lasagna alla Bolognese. Played guitar (kind of). Knew how to jumpstart a car (pretty well, actually). He liked chess.

    He’d spent most of his life high, bridging sober gaps with odd jobs and side hustles and jail. He’d stolen from everyone who cared enough to let him into their home.

    Robert Reynolds wasn’t Sentry, he wasn’t the Void—but he had been.

    Wasn't it only a matter of time before he would be again?

    After the Void descended on New York, Yelena adjusts to the life her sister led—dealing with PR managers, government endorsements, and a team she’s only recently learned to tolerate.

    And then there’s the Bob thing.
    And the Bob thing is super fucking complicated.

    Summary

    “The love he feels for Yelena is so big and startling. He is certain life is worth living because he can feel like this about her. And he doesn’t need her to feel the same way, he just notices how nice it is to love her. He’s on therapy session 23. He wonders when he’ll stop counting.“
