    Summary

    Alfred knew from the first ring of the phone that something was wrong.

    He stumbled on suddenly unsteady feet; the world reeling sideways as a strange sense of déjà vu washed over him.

    It was the same sickening lurch he’d felt on the night Martha and Thomas died: a feeling like the proverbial rug had been pulled out from under his feet as the building blocks of the universe tumbled down around him. He’d had a few moments like that before, little flashes of premonition that made him wonder if Baroness Ortsey, that mad old witch in her cell under London, had done more than drug his tea one time. But none of those brief flashes could compare to what he’d felt that night: the debilitating swell of sickness that had opened up the pit of his stomach, accompanied by the harrowing, agonizing certainty that something had gone irrevocably wrong.

    The same feeling he had now.

    Something was wrong.

    Something was very, very wrong. And the phone just kept on ringing.

    Summary

    “People were going to die!”

    When Superman intervenes to stop what he knows is a genocide — outside America, beyond the headlines — he’s met not with gratitude but with suspicion and resentment. Even Lois can’t seem to understand him anymore. After their relationship cracks under the weight of his choices, Clark hears a cry on the wind: a girl on the ledge of a building, about to throw her life away.

    But she’s not just another person to save — she’s a young woman from Jahanpur, a land forgotten and besieged, with a story that forces Clark to face everything he’s been fighting for… and everything he’s been fighting against.

    A story about love, grief, justice, and what it really means to listen to the cries of the world.

    Summary

    A year has passed since "the llama incident", and Emperor Kuzco has been working hard at righting his past wrongs. All is going well, except for one thing: He has yet to choose a bride, and with only a year left to do so, time is running out.

    When summer rolls in, Kuzco takes his leave from the city to relax in Pacha's village. But, he is unable to escape his problems, especially the one that comes to him in the form of a sickly girl who was found in the jungle. She is tall, pale, and thin. Her hair is the colour of blood, her eyes of emerald, and her clothes are unrecognizable. She speaks in a sharp, rolling language that no one can understand. In turn, she cannot understand a word that is spoken to her. The children think she's a monster. The adults think she's a long way from home.

    And Kuzco thinks she's the bane of his existence.

    Summary

    Jiang Wanyin sneered triumphantly. His mother had maneuvered herself into a corner he had not even anticipated! This was already working much better than expected.

    He nodded graciously and straightened.

    "Very well. If that is your main concern, I will send for a matchmaker immediately. Wei Wuxian will marry a young master to ensure no possible children of his may threaten the Jiang family's hold on the Lotus throne."

    Or: The one where Jiang Cheng travels to the past, realizes making Wei Wuxian sect leader of the Jiang would solve ninety percent of his issues, and then has to deal with the remainind ten percent (Wen Ruohan) trying to kill them all.
    The unconscious Madam Yu may or may not have some things to say about this arrangement.
