Summary
She has to hand it to Kaitlyn, he is pretty cute. Dark hair, nice eyes, clean cut…
“You could cut glass with that jawline,” Kaitlyn whispers to her.
“I know, right?” Tessa whispers back, watching him look around the room and introduce himself to Chiddy and Annette. He catches her eye, and before she can look away he’s given her a little wave of acknowledgment and a genuine smile, and Tessa feels her heart drop.

Summary
Retirement isn’t exactly turning out like Tessa expected. Six years after winning gold in Pyeongchang, she’s stuck in a thankless office job in Paris, watching dreams of her fashion empire fade into the distance. When she receives an email from Scott concerning a coaching opportunity with one of his teams in Montreal, she knows better than to go running. At least, she thinks she does.

Shang spins around and narrows his eyes at her, extending a hand for her to grasp and pull herself up. Strong. When she's on her feet he turns and strides into the room at the end of the hall and slams the door behind him.
So, that's her roommate.

Summary
Sugawara Koushi, perpetually tired exorcist extraordinaire, spends most of his time now caring for his cat and doing banishment jobs for Kiyoko, and he's happy like that, he swears. Kozume Kenma, witch, law intern, and illegal summoner, has a plan; too bad it involves demons and angels and he's convinced he can only do it alone. Yamaguchi Tadashi, ex-normal high school student with a newfound lucky streak, discovers he has a ghost haunting him and the rest of his life is soon turned upside down as a result, but maybe he's not complaining.
Together, they somehow stop an apocalypse. No, really.

“Luke is not involved,” Luke says, not looking up.
“Hey, Luke is not involved,” Han says, pointing at her. She’s going to bite his finger off, then they’ll see how much pointing he can do with it. “This is about you and me, princess.”
“There’s not going to be a you and me,” Leia says. “I’m going to have this baby with C-3PO.”
C-3PO says, “Madam,” tremulous.

This captures the feel of the trio's ANH and ESB dynamics perfectly, and has my favorite characterizations of all 3 of them, particularly Leia, who's every inch of her royal self here. A hilarious, enjoyable read.

Arthur wakes up and realizes the last ten years of his life have been a dream. He is nineteen, and he can barely remember where he is. What he can remember is the ghost of Eames’ hands pressed down on his chest trying frantically to stop the blood flooding up around his fingers as Arthur died (as he woke up).

Summary
Tony thinks he knows Bruce well enough to know when Bruce is hiding something, and he’s sure it’s a big something, which is the problem with having a genius as a best friend—he’s all too good at hiding his tracks. Too bad for Bruce that Tony finds that kind of sneakiness both wildly attractive and a challenge.
