    Summary

    It was Zoey’s idea first.
    Mira thought she was joking. When she realized her girlfriend was serious, she told her she was crazy.
    Forcefemming was a joke. A meme. It wasn’t real. And Zoey wanted to do it to Celine’s perfect son? They’d lose their careers in a heartbeat. Their debut wasn’t for ten more months. No one knew their names. And then where would that leave them? A couple of eighteen-year-old trans lesbians with no job prospects and no future.
    But every time Rumi came to hang out in their apartment, Mira couldn’t get the idea out of her head.

    -Or-

    Poor, repressed trans girl Rumi would never admit that he wants to be a girl. So Zoey and Mira, the trainee duo ready to take the world by storm, decide to help him along. And as this sad boy begins to light up and be herself, they develop strange, even confusing feelings for her.

    -Or-

    Zoey has a suggestion.

    Summary

    It's at John Bridgens' wedding that Francis Crozier tells him: “If you ever want to get away, I have a cabin out in Canada. It helped me a bit to escape. After my separation.”

    In which Harry Goodsir's wife is in love with his sister, and probably has been for some time now, and he very much would like to get away. But "away" comes with its own problems—namely in the form of a woman whose language he cannot speak and whose dog definitely wants to eat him.

    Summary

    Mira asks, “So, what, we just pretend ‘polytrix’ isn’t top one on the global trending list right now?”

    “It’s—” Rumi physically freezes. It looks like it takes her a moment to compute what Mira had said, then she finishes stiffly, “It’s what?”

    Mira’s never been one to lie; and, lo and behold, hashtag polytrix was indeed pressed up as number one on the social media app they’re staring at. Zoey glances down at the related hashtags trending with it: #ITSREAL #POLYTRIXONTOP #RUMIONBOTTOM #HUNTR/XGIRLS #TOTHEGAYWORLD

    Or, Mira, Rumi, and Zoey get caught in the middle of their fans' shipping war—but maybe one ship in particular has more substance than the others.

    Summary

    Aizawa Shota was a man tired of life, bitter and jaded from the endless horrors of the world. Six years ago, he disappeared, his existence erased.

    Redeye is a stoic man with a mysterious past, who runs a tight shop, cares for his young ward with his whole heart, and makes a flawless cup of coffee.

    He also has an unabashed fondness for stray cats.

     

    (Otherwise known as a bitter Aizawa makes café Switzerland, adopts twenty hero-in-training children, some villains, and Shinsou, and then kicks All for One’s ass into next week. And maybe falls in love.)

    Summary

    “You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.

    “I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.

    “I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”

    “Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.

    “You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

    Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.
