    Summary

    They might seem like ordinary high school students but the Crows are actually an up and coming team of vigilantes in Ketterdam. They foil bank robberies (when they can collect a finder’s fee), steal from the rich (and sometimes give to the poor) and stop gangs (when they encroach on their territory, that is). When Jan Van Eck starts drafting a law that requires all people with powers to register with the government and mob boss Pekka Rollins starts working with notable indenture trader Heleen van Houden, however, superheroing goes from an after-school job to a matter of life and death.

    Summary

    Matthias Helvar and Nina Zenik volunteer to take part in the 74th Hunger Games for vastly different reasons. For Matthias, volunteering is the culmination of his Career training, the perfect way to bring honor and glory to his District and his mentor. For Nina, volunteering is an act of self-preservation, a way to save a life before her involvement with the fledgling rebellion gets her own name pulled out of a Reaping Ball.

    Whatever their reasons, both of them want to make it through the Games alive—which means that the other must die. But in the Arena, they find that have no choice but to form an uneasy alliance—and that their hearts want even more, far more than the Games will ever let them have.

    That is, if they decide to play by the rules.

    Summary

    ROLLINS STONE MAGAZINE

    In this issue
    Six of Crows: From break-ins to breakout stars, the band talks overnight success, music and madness, and everything in between.
     
    Eddie Spaghetti once said, "Rock and roll keeps you in a constant state of juvenile delinquency."

    That would explain a lot, as the dynamic within the band can only be described as a decidedly more aggressive version of The Breakfast Club. Namely: a lot of banter—most of which involves a lot of stinging and acerbic one-liners that are just waiting to be immortalized by the internet, enough hijinks to send any authority figure running, and a whole lot of waffles.

    (or, the band au no one asked for but which I wrote anyway)

    Kaz looked at Matthias coldly. “What do you want?”

    “I want to know where Wylan Van Eck is,” Matthias said.

    Summary

    Bucky is a civil rights attorney and Steve is Captain America and they both are busy with their important careers and they are also both VERY HANDSOME and competent and should definitely kiss. But will they kiss?

    May contain: Jokes. Slow burn, like, for real (I need y’all to understand I really mean it this time). Extremely petty sibling fights. Very tired attorneys. Acknowledgement of the existence of scorpions. Extensive discussion of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. The Avengers all live in the tower and the exact timing in the MCU world being *hand waves*

    Warnings for: canon typical superhero violence, period typical (the period being present day) transphobia and homophobia. The existence of transphobia and homophobia are central to the plot, but there is no gratuitous detail of people being shitty. Extensive discussion of legislation against gender-affirming care (specifically: the characters are trying to stop such legislation).
