  1. Summary

    It is currently year 2067 in London, England where superheroes and normal civilians live under a dystopian society. The origins of the abnormal abilities that started popping up in people’s DNA all trace back to an unethical procedure called the Hero Experiment that took place in 1984, causing most of the human population to gain superpowers. It was conducted by the Virtue Administration in hopes of turning humans into weapons.

    Adam Saliba is a former superhero turned vigilante who “betrays” the Hero Agency after breaking the Creed. He took the life of his ally to save a civilian, which led to his reputation to become tarnished and cause him to rebel against the system. He forms an undercover group with his two friends Nicole and Diego to oppose the corrupt Administration and take down Crimson Eye, who is responsible for the Villain Uprising.

    Summary

    A figure about four inches shorter than Neel walks forward, red-and-yellow dress swaying in the gentle breeze as she drapes an arm around his back. Her dark hair is pulled into a low bun, lustrous and full under the beat of the sun. As she turns her head to greet Mike, her sincere smile topples faster than a Jenga tower after the yank of the last block.

    Mike’s throat shuts itself off from his lips as his eyes meet hers.

    Because thirteen years later, El still has the most gorgeous pair of doe eyes Mike has ever encountered, and she’s caressing his new coworker right in front of him.

    -

    13 years after the events of the season 5, El is working at the local radio station and living happily with her long-term boyfriend in the UK.

    So what happens when her partner's new friend and coworker happens to be Mike Wheeler, the love of her life and a ghost of her past? And what happens when he delivers some life-changing news about an important person from her past, one that has her questioning her current life and relationships?

    Summary

    The bell rung above him, the last time for a long time—
    "Huh... Kid, wait!" Sojiro held up a plain envelope from his stack. "This one's addressed to you." He flipped it around, squinting. "No return address, though."
    He took the offered envelope, looking it over.
    The handwriting…
    Akira viciously smothered the hope, because it was impossible. No matter how similar it looked to case notes and essays seen in brief, upside-down flashes across the counter before his attention was drawn away by gloved hands wrapping around a coffee mug and the glint of wine eyes.
    His heart beat a staccato rhythm against his chest despite himself, uncaring of how devastating this would be if he was wrong.
    He slid his finger beneath the envelope's lip, gently tearing it open. Inside was a small piece of paper. It held one sentence, scrawled in blue ink.
    'Hold onto my glove.'

    Summary

    “Oh, you sweet talker you, telling me I’m illiterate,” Phoenix practically purrs despite the words themselves. “I bet you tell all the boys they can’t read.”

    Unable to hide his smile, Miles leans towards Phoenix. “Only the ones I like.” He looks at Phoenix’s eyes, getting lost in the blue-brown irises. When Miles is this close he can see the constellations of freckles on Phoenix's face. He has the urge to kiss each and every one of them.

    Phoenix’s eyes blow wide with faux-surprise. “Mr. Edgeworth,” he says, sounding completely scandalized. “Are you saying you like me?” He flutters his eyelashes and Miles is barely able to contain his snort.

    Summary

    Rumi’s life should be perfect. Gwi-Ma? Defeated. The Honmoon? Restored. Huntrix’s new album? Triple diamond.

    There’s just one small problem.

    Jinu's soul? The one that jumped into her sword? It now lives in her bedroom mirror.

    And he’s talkative.

    “You mean you’ve been able to leave all this time? You could go anywhere, see anything. Travel the world. Why are you still here?”

    Jinu cocks his head, like the thought hadn’t occurred to him. “Why would I want to go anywhere else when I have everything I want right here?”
