Summary
It probably wasn’t the most opportune time, but it was also the only time they had, so Gwen asked him about it halfway down the elevator shaft into Fisk Tower’s secret lab. Noir was leading the way, moving gracefully and monochromatically from elevator shaft to heating vent, Peter Porker in his wake.
“Does she know?” Gwen hissed, knowing his mind—like hers—was still back in the dining room. “Your version.”“What?” Peter hissed back. “Know what?”
“You know,” Gwen gestured from him to herself, crawling on finger- and toe-tip directly down a vertical concrete wall. “This.”
“Oh,” said Peter. “Yeah, she knows.” He was smiling behind his mask, she could tell from his voice. “She's always known.”
“Oh,” Gwen said. “Good.”

Summary
Getting accepted into a prestigious boarding school seemed like a dream come true for Luz. Especially when her last school had no faith in her ever amounting to anything. But it quickly comes crashing down into a nightmare of tribulation.
Still, there was one thing motivating Luz to keep going: the mystery around the school. Why there always felt like there was always someone around the corner, just hidden from sight. Why some students crept out in the middle of the night once a month. And what the deal with the Head Girl and her vast knowledge of everything in the school was.
Luz was determined to figure it out, no matter what she had to endure.

Summary
AU in which "King's Tide" ended with Luz tricking her friends into fleeing through the portal while she stayed behind with King. Now Willow, Gus, Hunter, and a particularly distraught Amity must find Camila Noceda and hope that she is willing and able to help them survive while they search for a way back -- and in the meantime, they can fill her in on what her daughter has been doing in the Demon Realm.
Or, the one where I cut Luz out of the plot of "Thanks to Them" to explore the Luz-shaped hole left behind as best I can.

Summary
PJ was distracted by Hazel’s face - Hazel’s smile. Her stupidly cute smile. Her heart inexplicably thudding hard against her ribs, PJ looked away. She couldn’t repress the weird feelings bubbling inside her chest, so she made a decision, once and for all.
PJ was jealous of Hazel Callahan.
PJ hated Hazel Callahan.
That's what that feeling was.
---
AKA PJ mixes all her feelings into one and labels it jealousy.

Summary
Hazel makes herself smaller in the hopes that PJ might care about her a little more.
--
“I’m not gonna make out with you if you don’t want me to, like that part’s fine. Obviously.” PJ pulled her hand away from Hazel’s lips, “But don’t psychoanalyse me or whatever. I don’t want to process shit or talk about my feelings. I just want to get drunk- or wine drunk, and be stupid. So please don’t ruin this with like… talking.”
Hazel nodded fast, as if going fast enough could undo what she said, “Yeah, totally. Sorry, I shouldn’t have said- y’know. Sorry.”
She wasn’t going to ruin anything. She could keep her mouth shut.
Hazel bit the inside of her cheek hard, the way she did when she wanted to say something but knew she probably shouldn’t.
She wasn’t sure what was worse, PJ not wanting to kiss her for the right reasons, or the fact that she kind of wished she had kissed PJ anyway.
Hazel wished PJ actually wanted her.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
The dew of the grass crunches beneath their shoes, chattering of others evident in the distance. And Amity hears none of it, all her senses zoned in on the cheerleader beside her, whose eyelashes glint beneath the sunlight and fingers graze over the fabric of the letterman jacket she’d just been offered, and oh — oh no — this is no simple tolerating.
Even after (mostly) dropping her 'mean' persona by sophomore year, Amity Blight is so caught up in her studies -- and, of course, being the captain of her rugby team -- that she has no time for social interaction. That is, until, one of the cheerleaders takes a liking to her and attempts the nearly impossible task of getting to know her.

Summary
Luz blinked, looking up at the person trying to help her, and she swore her heart skipped a beat.
Okay, maybe the trouble was worth it.
Staring back at her was, quite possibly, the prettiest boy she’d ever come across: Light amber pupils, mint green hair tied back into a ponytail, multiple ear piercings, the coolest cap ever, and a mask that just screamed ‘mysterious backstory.’
What Luz didn't know, however, was that the "pretty boy" she was crushing so hard on outside school was actually the famously intimidating popular girl from her class - Amity Blight.

“You’re trying out for soccer?” Amity raised her eyebrow.
“Yeah, I am.” Luz scoffed, but mischief flared in her eyes. “Do you have a problem with that?”
Amity grinned. “You won’t make it past the first hour.”
“Oh yeah? Watch me.”-
Luz has a mission: make the soccer team in her senior year. But Amity is the captain. And they absolutely despise each other. The tension keeps growing when Luz makes the team and they end up in the same class too. Constantly being around the person that they hate, how the hell will they survive senior year?

Summary
“So,” Fig says, “that was Fabian, he’s gonna be on lead guitar and some keys tonight-” Fig pauses for the crowd to cheer appropriately, Fabian playing a brief lick on his guitar as they do- “and behind me, you know him, we all love him, Gorgug on the sticks!”
Ayda finds it hard to look at the two men onstage, however, even as Fig introduces them; because looking at Gorgug or Fabian would involve looking away from Fig. And Ayda really cannot bring herself to do that, yet. Not when Fig keeps glancing at her- probably in passing, as she scans the crowd of the bar- and Ayda’s pulse jumps every time she does.
“They’re the significant, I’m the figures-” Fig rolls her bass guitar up off her hip in one smooth motion, Ayda’s mouth is dry and her ears are ringing, even though it isn’t that loud yet- “lets make some fucking noise!”

“None of this feels real sometimes,” Gorgug says, and Fig laughs a little, relieved that they're on the same page again.
“I know, right?” she asks, punching him in the arm and grinning so hard her cheeks hurt. “We sold out Bastion Bay Stadium tonight, dude! This shit is crazy!”
“Crazy,” Gorgug agrees, and then he puts his headphones on, and he doesn't say anything else.
The tour's going great, and something's wrong with Gorgug.
