Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
She is sixteen when his buyer comes to visit her on Wallach IX, a trip that requires an Imperial spaceship to travel five parsecs, thirteen decagrams of spice, for a total of over one hundred thousand solaris, round trip. All to purchase a Bene Gesserit concubine for the twentieth Duke of the Great House of Atreides, one that the sisters are offering without any monetary price. A gift, they claim, but all know the truth. This is a transactional exchange, a concubine given for the express purposes of ensuring a future daughter of a Great House, another sister secured into the Bene Gesserit fold.
Sex, for procreation.
It is the oldest transaction of time, and Jessica is about to become another member of the oldest profession.
... if only things had gone according to this simple plan.

Summary
People, it turns out, are horny for depression. Or maybe it’s that people are horny for depressed gods. Or maybe enduring betrayal on a literally cosmic scale makes people hotter. Or maybe the death drive is real, and the many-tongued abyss’s breath is still thick in your hair, and it makes everyone want to move closer and take a big, deep whiff. Or maybe you’re God, and they’re scared.
Or: John Gaius meets his daughter, remembers the women he left behind, and deals poorly with being the male god of a universe in which the divine is essentially feminine.

Summary
"If you had asked Riz two hours ago what his plans for postgrad were, this would’ve never made the list. But since Jawbone said the words, Riz can’t get it out of his head. The image of the two of them, best friends, traveling far and wide, licking their wounds in seedy motels, nothing but the skin of their teeth and the rumble of a motorcycle engine. “I mean, think about it,” Riz says, which is exactly what Jawbone told them to do. His voice comes out soft and delicate, like a ceramic figure that can be easily broken. He doesn’t like it. “Think about it. Can you really imagine yourself doing anything else?”'
or
Fabian and Riz take up the mantle of traditional adventuring, just with the added benefit of the internal combustion engine.

Summary
“If this is a crazy Helioic cult, wouldn’t it have been better to find some nice lady spy to come with you? Or literally any one of our female friends?”
“Adaine’s too recognizable, Fig’s taken, and Kristen has a mullet.” Riz ticks them off on his fingers. “Besides, having a male partner makes me an outsider. It gives them something to sink their teeth into.”
“I see,” Fabian says with a grin, “I’m bait.”
“You’re not bait.”
“I’m set dressing,” Fabian amends, taking another slice of pizza. “I’m honored.”
[OR Riz is tasked with taking down a cult from the inside, and Fabian is along for the ride.]

Summary
“Iz, Izzy, mate, look.” He’s holding a flier in his hand, drawn on the back of old card stock and partially ruined by the summer rain. Through the drips of black, he reads, The Travelling Symphony presents: Hamlet.
He’s heard rumours of them, of course. A pack of fucking thespians that travel like clockwork through the major settlements, following the same path each season. It’s a wonder they’ve survived this long.

Summary
Izzy is always the first one to arrive at the pub, signing off on shipments and taking stock, and if Edward shows up it will be just before last call, when Izzy is dead on his feet and can’t say no to a single thing. Truthfully, though, he rarely can.
Every day starts and ends exactly the same way, until a particularly chatty history professor begins sharing his morning commute.

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

Summary
For a second, getting in Sundown's face on the tarmac, it probably showed anyway. That he was already over the edge, clinging by his fingernails. That he needed something nobody was giving him. He hoped dimly for a minute that Sundown might shove him off, shove him off or even hit him. He wanted to be hit. He wanted to bleed.
It wasn't going to be as much as Goose had bled. But it would be something.
But Sundown didn't do it. He let Maverick walk away whole. Just like Viper, just like Charlie. Just like Carole. Just like the board of inquiry.
Then, in the locker room after, there was Iceman.

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

Summary
Kim feels for the Satellite Officer. It’s clear what he’s been through, what Harry has subjected him to over the last few years - Kim only knows the half of it, of course, but he’s seen it before, hermit-cops pushing everyone away, their partner last man standing at the bombsite. Still, it feels cruel to punish this person for it, this wiped-clean, remade Harry, looking at Kim now like a bottle-fed animal about to be released into the wild. If Kim does go to the 41st, navigating all this will be an extra layer of complexity. He should think very carefully about it - about whether it’s worth getting mixed up in all of it. The mess.
A slow-burn, Kim-POV story about going to the 41st, against his better judgement.

Summary
Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.
