Summary
"Lancelot! I've missed you, my friend!"
"And I you, Merlin. How were your negotiations with the Druids?" asked Lancelot. Their arms were still around each other, and Lancelot held Lord Merlin's face in his hands. The gesture was tender, which only confused Erec further.
So far, there was not a single detail about Camelot that Erec had learned that did not confuse him further.
Or, the Knights of the Round Table, the Court Sorcerer of Camelot, and other assorted cryptids (as told by Sir Erec, Knight of the Round Table).

Summary
The Galaxy is a big place and you can find all kinds of obscure things on the holonet, including a blond teenager from Tatooine dragging the TIE-Fighter program through the sarlacc pit.
Or an Alternative Universe in which the galaxy gets saved because Luke has a youtube channel, everybody is on space twitter and Anakin Skywalker always returns to the light for his family.
Rebellions are loud and vibrant and social media is the most powerful weapon right next to a lightsaber.

Summary
Maia Drazhar arranges a festival, meets his gay aunt, falls in love with his secretary, and misses his mom through it all.
"In the way of true stories, there was no discernible beginning. Perhaps it had begun that first day, in the shabby receiving room at Edonomee; in the cockpit of the Radiance of Cairado; at the mooring mast of the Untheileneise Court, with that first smile.
The pith of the matter was that Maia Drazhar was wildly, tremulously in love, and love had made fools of much wiser men than he."

Summary
One simple idea that changes everything: Ariadne, as Cobb sees her - the red-wearing maze designer and Cobb-unraveler - is almost too good to be true. That's because she isn't. True, that is; she's definitely, DEFINITELY good. When her thesis adviser Dr. Stephen Miles puts her in the way of a VERY interesting opportunity (for the low, low price of just one fake ID), Ari decides to go for it and winds up neck-deep in stuff she never knew existed.
When this is finished, she’s going to learn to wear a suit like Arthur, tell a lie like Eames, network like Yusuf, and pull perhaps two per cent of Saito’s annual income over her first five years post-doctorate. She's hung the rest of her life on this job, so she may as well get some off-resume skills out of it.

Summary
Iceman didn’t put this much work into building his career just so he could spend it putting out Maverick's many fires. Alas, given that half the personal favors owed to Ice stem from him handling another officer’s Maverick Problem of The Day and the other half are kept on reserve for smoothing over whatever nonsense Pete causes next, it’s become something of a reputation for him.
“At least I’m cute, right?”
Tom drops his head back and stares at the ceiling in dismay. Sometimes, he truly wonders why he keeps this impulsive idiot of his. “You do have that going for you.”
Or—
There are few things more universally feared in the Navy than owing Admiral Tom “Iceman” Kazansky a favor.Series

Summary
“They call me Vecna,” Henry says. “And if I am Vecna, then you- you will be my Acererak. My apprentice. Because, Will Byers, you are just like me.”
“I’m nothing like you,” Will insists, shaking his head as he wracks his brain for any information on Acererak from the D&D handbooks he’s pored through so many times. Acererak- saved by Vecna when he was a child, apprenticed under Vecna and saved his life, later became a lich and then a demilich- a demilich. “Besides, aren’t demiliches more powerful than regular liches anyways?”
“What?” Henry says, his face contorting, and it’s enough of a distraction that Will is able to run.
Things lying dormant are finally awoken. Will is screaming. A Mind Flayer is born.
