Summary
Outside, the world was doing twilight the way it only did in Virginia. The humid air stuck to Adam; the evening breeze cooled him down. It smelled of wild, unchecked greenery and cooking meat and, faintly, cow shit. The powdery sky was pinked up along the edges, as though it had gotten a sunburn. From some tree or other, a raven coughed out a noise that sounded both raucous and profane.
Despite his best intentions, there was still something inside Adam that ached for this place.Adam Parrish returns to Henrietta, Virginia to deal with his late mother's estate, only to find that Blue Sargent, his ex-something, is getting married. This would be easier to ignore if he didn't keep running into her asshole friend.

Summary
Once upon a time, Adam Parrish had not--if you’ll pardon him--given a good God damn about God or the devil. At eleven, Adam took for granted that praying did not mean an answered prayer. At twelve, he understood that devil was just another word for the man who lived in his house and shared his eye color.
At thirteen, Adam realized that, actually, he was fucking wrong, that the devil was literal and maybe so was God. He knew this because one day, a demon crept into his parents’ trailer.
As an adult, unmaking the rules of good and evil consumed Adam Parrish. Proving his experience was the undercurrent to everything he did. That was why it was so absolutely fucked up that when he did finally encounter a demon for the second time, he wasn’t even trying to do it.

Summary
Mickey has never touched anyone this gently. He has never held anyone else's face. He has never thought the words fragile and skull in such direct succession unless the thought immediately previous was fist. But here he is.

Summary
Ronan was the natural product of a month like November. It was the sudden shift of something comfortable into something dangerous; it tapped Ronan on the shoulder like it would punch him when he turned around to look. In his interactions with others, Ronan tended to take a similar tactic.
For the nineteenth time, Ronan’s birthday waited at the beginning of November like a razor blade in an apple.
The first cut it made was this: 8:15 am mass at St. Agnes Church.
After mass, Ronan ducked out the door and into his car and did not, did not look to the tiny, slanting attic apartment where Adam Parrish had lived.

Summary
Eponine is in love with Cosette, from a safe distance. In fact, that seems to be how all of her friends are experiencing love--quietly, and painfully, and without telling anyone else. In a moment of semi-boldness, Eponine ropes Montparnasse and Jehan into helping her make a magical focus object for Cosette to use in the unique readings she does at the local magical market. Eponine intends for this object to be an anonymous gift to Cosette, and it is...but it isn’t long before everyone is pulled into some part of the scheme, and silences begin to unravel. (Magic AU/Modern AU)

Summary
Harrow kept her eyes on the horizon. "Do I disappoint you, honored wife?"
Gideon was starting to think that 'honored wife' was a placeholder for 'fucking asshole' or something similar. "Not at all. I think more girls should aspire to be gremlins when they grow up."
[God has been absent for centuries and BoE conquers the Houses. To solidify their claim, they have the daughter of Commander Wake marry one of the House officials.]

Summary
Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.
AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.
