    Summary

    “You’ve got the wrong person. I don’t speak English, sorry,” Yang lied in crisp Mandarin, his preferred ploy for getting away from people who recognised him in public.

    The stranger frowned at him—he’d understood. “I know you do, I’ve seen your interviews.” He held out a hand. “Oskar von Reuenthal.”

    Somewhat taken aback by the blunt statement, Yang said, “Ah, nice to meet you?”

    Reuenthal’s lip curled. “You don’t remember me, do you?” He spoke English with a harsh Germanic accent.

    Summary

    “With you it’s always ‘Father this’, ‘Father that’.” Gianna sniffed. “It’s an obnoxious habit. Very childish. Act your age.”

    “Oh? And trying to interrupt a stranger about his business isn’t obnoxious?”

    “You’re such an asshole,” Gianna said, incredulous. “I can’t believe you said that. We’re trying to save a life.”

    “If you were remotely interested in charity of that nature you wouldn’t be in the family business.”

    The stranger was staring at them now, blinking owlishly. It wasn’t an unfamiliar reaction to anyone exposed to his sister and their quarrels. “Do you guys mind?” he said finally. His voice was rusty, seldom used.

    Summary

    The first gig Dorothea helps Sylvain land is an extended stunt cameo in a stoner flick, a chance to fully commit to self-parody, playing a washed-up child star turned drug dealer. The wardrobe department outfits him in sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts. He grows some scruff and behaves like an acerbic dirtbag for two weeks. “Pitch-perfect casting,” writes the Tribune. Says Entertainment Weekly: “A familiar face in a nearly unrecognizable performance, Gautier looks like he’s having so much fun being loathsome.”

    Ex-child actor Sylvain Jose Gautier makes a professional and romantic comeback.

    Summary

    Miya Atsumu’s been sitting pretty as the top ranked Bounty Hunter in the city for years, but staunch rival Sakusa Kiyoomi has been steadily catching up to him as of late, making Atsumu’s life difficult in more ways than one.

    With the city entering a state of turmoil, and a mastermind hellbent on wiping out the whole guild of Hunters, they’ll have to set aside their differences and work together if they want to make it out alive.

    But that’s easier said than done, when neither wants to be the first to give ground.

    Summary

    "I'm gonna get the new temp professor to sleep with me by the end of the semester."

    For a moment, there is only silence. The next, the table breaks out in various degrees of reaction. On the lowest rung is Kita, who merely raises a brow as he drinks his cocktail. Next is Suna and Aran, who are laughing uncontrollably and sputtering in disbelief respectively. But the most explosive of them all is, of course, Osamu—his gaze positively horrified across the table.

    "Of all people, really? You're gonna try to fuck my advisor?"

    Atsumu grins. "Yeah, I am." He tips his glass towards Osamu. "So put in a good word, won'tcha?" To be extra insufferable, he winks on the question.

    Grad student Miya Atsumu makes it his goal to get in the temp professor Sakusa Kiyoomi's pants before Sakusa departs at the end of the semester. As Atsumu executes his plans of seduction, he does end up getting closer to Sakusa ... just not quite in the way that he'd expected.
