    Summary

    Nancy Wheeler is a master of control. To the world, she is the perfect student with a perfect future. To herself, she is a collection of secrets and carefully managed habits, all designed to keep the past firmly underground. Her life in Hawkins is a fortress of her own making, and she intends to keep it that way.

    Then Robin Buckley transfers to Hawkins High.

    She is tall, clumsy, and speaks in a frantic, witty staccato that makes Nancy’s skin crawl with a terrifying familiarity. It’s a voice Nancy hasn't heard in years, not since the sterile, quiet hallways of a place they were never supposed to leave.

    Robin doesn’t seem to remember. She just thinks Nancy is cold. But for Nancy, every hallway pass and every shared classroom is a threat. If Robin is here, then the girl Nancy used to be is here, too. And if Robin looks closely enough, Nancy’s perfect world might just start to unspool.

    Summary

    Caesar's eyes glanced over her, full of glee and excitement that she did not share. Her own eyes glassy as she glanced at the audience.

    "Johanna, I see tears in your eyes. Could that be because you've spend the past years caring for your invalid father?"

    She pushed the tears further to the surface as she nodded. "He lost his leg several years ago, my brothers provide for us and I take care of the home"

    "Now isn't that beautiful folks? Such a sweet, gentle soul she is" Caesar claimed as the crowd roared while a tear rolled down her cheek.

    They mindlessly ate up the story she fed them, the harmless girl from District 7 - who played the violin and smiled like the world wasn't about to end.

    Perhaps because, in Johanna's mind, she'd already won.

    Summary

    In the high-stakes world of Zaun, torn between warring kingdoms and shifting loyalties, Jinx faces an unthinkable choice as her fate is entwined with that of a stranger, Prince Ekko.​ Tension tightens in the lavish tea room as Silco asserts his influence, pushing Jinx towards an arranged marriage purportedly designed to broker peace among the clashing realms. Vander, her sympathetic father, implores her to band together with the Firelights, urging her that harmony hinges on this union. Yet, as Jinx grapples with the implications of leaving behind her persona and home, she finds herself ensnared in a whirlwind of emotions—from fear to resignation. With the weight of her family's legacy pressing down upon her, the journey to the Firelights looms ahead as a daunting path to either personal freedom or an unwanted role as royalty. Amidst her inner turmoil, a flicker of hope ignites when Ekko, her childhood friend and now her betrothed, offers her a cookie—a simple gesture hinting at their shared past and the possibility of a brighter future. In this intricate tapestry of love, duty, and self-discovery, can Jinx reclaim her lost identity while forging a new alliance, or will she become captive to the very fate she resisted?

    Summary

    "Fuck, I'm sorry... I wasn’t watching where I was going," she said, realizing she had bumped into another girl, who had landed on her backside.

    Vi extended a hand to help, but received no reaction from the other girl, who silently got to her knees and began feeling around for something on the hospital's polished floor.

    ‘Oh shit. Fuck.’

    Vi dropped to her knees instantly, realizing she had just knocked over a blind woman.

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.
