    Summary

    All it took was some unpaid protection money, and a boy's entire family fell to their deaths.

    All it took was a fired employee, and a girl's home went up in flames.

    -----

    Four years ago, Rhysalin Michaels-Queen lost her biological parents and baby sister in a dreadful house fire. After spending an entire year on the streets of Star City, she was found and taken in by Roy Harper, Green Arrow's new protege, Speedy.

    Being trained by both Green Arrow and eventually Black Canary, Reese learned how to protect herself, how to use a bow and arrow, and how to control her own meta-powers.

    When a meeting at the Hall of Justice goes south, Silverbird, along with Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad, embarks on a journey none of them could have expected.

    And, it doesn't help when the boy that Reese saw swinging from the trapeze all of those years ago, is the same vigilante with a weird habit of taking prefixes off of words whom she sees and interacts with every day.

    Sooner or later, feelings, romantic ones, that is, are bound to pop up. But, whether or not they're reciprocated is a whole other story.

    Summary

    Lily Hallowell has one rule: never get personally involved. Not with criminals. Not with heroes. Definitely not with emotionally repressed vigilantes in spandex.

    Too bad Gotham doesn’t care about her rules.

    With a magic curse that makes her feel lies like a bad allergic reaction, Lily’s been trying to lay low under the name Truthseer—until the underworld wants to use her, the Court of Owls wants to erase her, and the Bats want to figure out what the hell her deal is.

    Enter: Nightwing. Charming. Acrobatic. Way too good at making her forget she’s supposed to be keeping her distance.

    Now Lily’s stuck navigating criminal allegations, morally grey alliances, and the minor inconvenience of learning how to trust people without puking. Literally.

    She never asked to be part of Gotham’s most chaotic found family.

    (It's exactly where she belongs.)

    Summary

    When Harry succumbs to dementors in Little Whinging, the last thing he expects is to wake up and find Tom Riddle’s face staring back at him in the mirror.

    It only goes downhill from there.

    (In which Harry learns: if Voldemort had been like an atom bomb, Tom Riddle is the biblical forbidden fruit, succulent and fragrant and filled with an insidious rot that just may kill him.)

    Summary

    "Leto, of course, never cared for Jessica's opinion on the matter of the betrothal of Sana and Muad'Dib. I suspect he was more focused on Muad'Dib‘s future, on ensuring that his son's partner would never be swayed by anyone other than him. Sana, with her devotion to Muad'Dib, was perfect for that. She didn't belong to the Bene Gesserit, to anyone but him. She was his."
    Excerpt from "Muad'Dib: the veiled moon" by the Princess Irulan

    -

    After centuries of isolating to keep themselves from the grasping hands of the Bene Gesserit, House Aedrith finally agrees to an alliance with House Atreides.

    Sana Aedrith has been living with House Atreides on Caladan for 3 years since 10 years old for one purpose. Marriage. What better than to learn the workings of a house than to grow up with them? There was more to it but anyone outside of House Atreides and House Aedrith did not know- that is House Aedrith's generational birth of a prescient child.

    Eurydice stands at the center of a catastrophe that threatens to bring ruin to the delicate nature of the Imperium.

    There is her duty to her blood, to her twin brother Paul, and then there is her duty to the Bene Gesserit, and the nephew of a Baron she is sworn to.

    And all that resides in between, there are plans within plans.
