    Summary

    “I think he deserves to sweat about it for a while,” Magenta said, reclining back in her chair. “Maybe if he thinks that another guy is interested in you, he’ll come to his senses and see what’s right in front of him.”

    Layla’s head snapped up to look at her shapeshifting friend.

    “Magenta, that’s it!”

    “What’s it?”

    “I’m going to make Will jealous… By pretending to date Warren Peace.”

    Summary

    "You’ve all grown so much," their mother says.

    Edmund is too young to register, but older now than he was at his first war; Lucy, who had been so young when they had left, grew into herself in a world filled with magic. All of them, they have responsibility pressed into their shoulders, old ropes they can’t even grasp for. No one is asking them to take that mantle on their shoulders, and that’s the hardest part. You get used to the weight. You build your world around it, build your identity into the crooks and crannies of the load you carry.

    Susan has forgotten about being a child. She is the blessed, the chosen, the promised. Susan has decades on her classmates, wars, loss and betrayal, victory and growing fields, the trust of her subjects. It was a visceral thing, to have all those lives under her protection and to know that her subjects slept safe, peacefully, on dark nights.

    Here, on this drab concrete, her people are untouchable, indefensible; her self is vanished, her kingdom gone; she can feel the loss like a wound. She has lost her power, but that trust, that responsibility remains. It circles her ankles, trips her in the school hallways.

    Summary

    Such a powerful cry for such a small girl, I thought. We were still one, united by a cord and soon it would have to be cut without me being ready. Separating us forever and leaving my baby alone in such a dark world.

    Or

    Where Katniss shares her memories of being a mother and watches her children grow up, while she and Peeta grow older.

    Summary

    13 year old Wendy Darling and her two brothers are devastated when it is revealed that Wendy will be forced to move away with her aunt for five years to prepare her for marriage to the pompous son of a government official, when they are whisked away to Neverland with Peter Pan. The four instantly form a bond that will last them all of their years, finding mermaids, battling pirates, and enjoying their youth. Wendy and Peter, however, find themselves beginning to feel something different. When the three children must sadly return home, their parents are too joyful to have them back that they refuse to let Wendy go with her aunt, but her five year engagement is still on. At this news, Peter promises Wendy that he will return to her before she is married off in her 18th year.
    As the time passes, Peter fades to a figment of the children's imaginations. In Wendy's mind, the boy of her past is just a hopeful character of fiction that she created as a child to try and escape the reality of a wedding to a boy she hates.
    That is, until five years later, when a certain golden haired boy returns to their window once more.
