Summary
Steve Rogers comes out of the ice and into an entirely different world than the one he left behind. Nothing is left to remind him of home, and he feels no thread of connection to the people he sees walking around New York. Until he steps into St. Agnes parish and meets a little boy who’s just lost everything, too.
“It’s okay to not feel any better. Sometimes talking about the person you’re missing doesn’t feel like it’s helping. It feels like the hurt is even worse. But that’s alright. It’s still good to talk, even if it hurts.”
Slowly, Matt nodded again. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out right away. Steve waited.
“Sometimes…” His voice was small and unsure now. “Sometimes, it feels like the whole world died. Or like God made a mistake. Like I’m not s’posed to be here without him.”
All the breath left Steve’s lungs in a rush. He closed his eyes.
“...Yeah. I know exactly what you mean.”

Summary
“I have granted you use of the Third Eye ability. It may manifest in various ways. Only time will tell whether you use it to your advantage…or to your ruin.”
Third Eye? Akira rubbed at his forehead, as if expecting an eye to sprout there. Like clairvoyance or something?
As if reading his thoughts, Igor’s grotesque grin stretched his face even further.
“Your Third Eye ability will show you a path. A path that perhaps you would follow in one world, but not necessarily this one. As I said, nothing is certain.”
Akira arrives in Yongen feeling empty, numb, and defeated. But as he walks toward his uncertain future, he feels something else: warmth. Familiarity. As if, somehow, he remembers walking these streets before. In another life.

Summary
“Queens boy, born and raised,” Peter said.
“Well, I have a sensitive question for you, then,” Matt said, leaning in a little, dropping his voice to a mock whisper. Peter tensed again. Shit. Maybe he did know.
“You a Mets fan?”
Peter’s head dipped back in relief. Jesus, this guy really was gonna kill him.It has been nearly six months since college admissions season, and Peter Parker has royally failed to launch. Matthew Murdock gains a stalker.

Summary
“I know the Burlazaars,” Wyll confirmed, while Toska tried not to squirm, “but my father was more concerned with the menace than the intrigue, and for that reason we were not in their company much. I might have had barely a handful of interactions with their daughters over the course of my youth.”
“I’m not surprised, given the odious traditions I’ve heard about. I always wondered if the rumours were true.” Gale peered at the missive again, as if he expected it to surrender its secrets unopened. He was probably waiting for Toska to come free of her catatonic state and quench his curiosity. “Wonder why they’re calling on you, in the wake of all this.”
She could have asked the same question, for completely different reasons.
“Well,” Toska wheezed, “probably because Neve Burlazaar is my mother.”

Summary
Gods. A year ago Gale had been part of the University of Waterdeep’s storied wizardry department. Now he was in this decrepit little office at Baldur’s Gate University after destroying both his career and a fifteen-year relationship.
He wasn’t sure if he was here to start over, or to give up.
____________________
Gale Dekarios had almost everything he’d ever wanted—until he let his pride ruin it all. Now he’s newly single and wondering if he’ll ever pick up the pieces of his shattered career.
A collaboration with the brilliant sorcerer Alys Towerfell might be just the way to regain what he’s lost. Or maybe the way to find something even better.
A modern academia AU in which Gale realizes the value of a clean start, Alys learns that it can be very attractive when men talk about chess, and (this is extremely important) Gale wears glasses.

Summary
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
- Mary OliverIn some ways, Rowan had always counted herself more human than elf.
Not by merit of blood – at least as far as she was aware. Her mother had been a wood elf, her father, a drow. Yet neither wood elf nor drow had raised her, save for the earliest, blurriest years of her childhood. It had been humans – the best and the worst of them – that had shaped her existence. She lived among them, worked among them, drank in their taverns, healed their sick, delivered their babies and dressed their dead. She obeyed their rules, bowed to their lords, and tried to lock away the pieces of herself that did not belong within stone walls.
Or, in which an unlikely friendship strikes up between a town healer and an archdruid.
