    Summary

    It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
    It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…

    Summary

    AU, retelling of “Beauty and the Beast”. Quite honestly, sending Aziraphale off into the forest to be held hostage by a giant snake in a cursed castle isn’t even the worst thing Gabriel’s ever done to him, and at least it means a change of scene. But then neither the snake nor the castle turn out to be quite what he’s expecting…

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    It requires a level of natural skill you simply don't possess.

    "But I'm not natural, am I?" he whispers to Flapjack, who's perched on his chest. Hunter smooths back his feathers, thinking aloud. "I wasn't born, I was built. So, theoretically, if I could modify the way I was built... Couldn't I give myself those skills?"

    Silently, Flapjack tilts his head.

    "I'd have to look at... His notes." Hunter bites his lip, considering. "Which. They might not let me do if I ask."

    Figuring out how to fit into a world that values magic above all else (and make your new sort-of father proud) isn't easy when you're not even half-a-witch. But Hunter is used to proving himself.

    “I’ll bring your apple chips to practice, I promise.”

    “You better!”

    “Goodnight, Hunter.”

    “Goodnight, princess.”

    Hunter hung up before Willow could.  She was far too frozen in place to be able to do that, anyway.  He just called her princess.

    Summary

    His hands are cold.
    It's a stupid thing to think about, how cold his hands are, when he's just had his whole world upended, but the fact remains.
    His hands are cold.
    His hands are cold, and he isn't alive.
    People used to comment on it, before he started wearing gloves whenever he could. Once, when he was younger, maybe nine or ten, he had tripped and fallen and had grabbed onto Darius’ arm to steady himself. The coven-head (though he hadn't been one back then) had yanked his arm away with a scowl.
    "Honestly child," He had griped. "You have the hands of a dead man."

    Summary

    He sits with his back pressed to the airship wall, folded into himself as tightly as he can manage, clutching at his hair. Flapjack chirps comfortingly from their perch on his knee, and she can see him lift and lower the fingers of one hand in counts of four, but his breathing still hitches erratically and he’s clearly getting frustrated that it’s not working.

    That, she knows how to handle.

    Summary

    There are voices between the trees. There are voices and they’re getting closer and Hunter’s arms won’t stop shaking, and his breaths scrabble for purchase in his throat-

    “Just leave it, we’ve got to go-”

    “No, I heard something, it was just through here-”

    And then, as if Hunter’s scrappy excuse of a life couldn’t get any worse, Darius steps through the bushes. His eyes glint under the shadow of his hood, and he straightens up, looming over Hunter the way he always does in the castle.

    He’s going to take Hunter back. He knows Hunter betrayed the Emperor and he’ll turn him in and then Belos will kill him-
