Summary
Nancy Deveraux was a good FBI agent. A really good one. But a woman who speaks out of turn too often is ought to have her tongue cut out.
In the spring of 1960, unemployed, unemployable, and desperate to sink her teeth into anything, she meets a CIA agent with too much whisky in him and too many secrets to spill. One of them is a woman deemed the Angel of Leningrad: a murderous prophet, and the only spark of hope a woman once shunned from God could find.
She also just so happens to be headed to a Murkoff facility in the Arizona desert, which just so happens to be seeking new patients.
And what better way to conduct an investigation than from the inside?

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

“The last two times we ‘surprised’ each other”—Rangi made air quotations—”it didn’t go so well, did it? Do you want to find out later on that Kyoshi doesn’t like Kolauan cuisine or that she’s allergic to Omashu soil?”
“I’m not allergic to anything, actually…”
Three times the Avatar mansion celebrates a birthday party, and three times it goes wrong.

The world will take no oaths on Valka's behalf; she must do this herself. She hardens her skin like Baldr’s. One tiny cut at a time. One hurled stick and stone and slur. One more drop of poison.
One more thing she refuses to allow to hurt her.

Summary
“Seeing as though we both have something to gain from being off of the marriage market, why don't we make an agreement?” Mr. Bridgerton’s body had completely turned towards Cressida, knees slightly bumping against her own. “And before you say no, just hear me out–”
“What exactly do you have to gain from being wed?” Cressida asked before she could stop herself. She tensed when Mr. Bridgerton’s unbandaged hand gripped at her gloved wrist. She could feel her pulse quicken at the touch–
In which Elliot Bridgerton isn't actually Elliot Bridgerton and somehow that becomes Cressida Cowper's problem.

Summary
Galinda Arduenna, a flustered cupid from The Upper Uplands, has spent three months trying to find a romantic match for the stubbornly resistant Elphaba Thropp, a green-skinned, college student immersed in Animal Science and social justice. When Galinda finally reveals herself in a burst of celestial frustration, an unlikely bond forms, leading to a deal where Elphaba agrees to entertain matchmaking attempts in exchange for studying Galinda’s divine nature—setting the stage for a clash of wills and unexpected connection.

Summary
But as Maria watched the carrion of Kos lay uselessly in the setting sun, all she could think of was the Great One’s patheticness. Mother Kos, chieftain of many pantheons, laid dead at the hands of mortals, whalers. The same whalers that could not even capture a whale without having their compeers severely wounded in the act murdered a Great One in her own territory. While her sentience would live on, her death marked an irrefutable fact about Great Ones. Their flesh was not holy.
The corpse of a Great One washes ashore, and a haunting of water settles in the back of Maria’s mind.

Summary
In careful, deliberate ways, Elphaba has found she and Galinda are not so different. In careful, deliberate ways, they have also learned from each other— what it means to be certain that you never need to be anyone but exactly who you are; what it means to know that there is someone who would never ask you to change. What it means when one day, you look in the mirror, and you see that you have anyway, because change is so very easy when someone loves you that much.
Which is to say, that in some fashion, Galinda, who has never been careful or deliberate, has barged her way into Elphaba’s quiet life and for once banished her own impulses in favor of new ones, in favor of the slow, connective kindness that can only be unearthed by the gentlest pair of hands.
(Or, the five times that Galinda asks Elphaba to tell her a secret, and the one time Elphaba asks her.)

Summary
“In her hands crumples a poster extracted from inside Glinda’s silk pillowcase. Bold text, red upon green. ‘Bring HER down,’ it reads. The color is faded in neat divisions where she’s folded and unfolded it over and over again in study. The drawing doesn’t look very much like the Witch, Glinda always thinks. Maybe the nose is sharper? The skin—a sicklier shade, smoother, more wax-like than human? She can’t identify the flaws with any accuracy now. It’s been too many years. But the nails, yellowed, are wrong.”
Or, Glinda the Good is too old for this now.

Then, yesterday morning, Caitlyn had walked yawning into the bathroom and found Jinx sitting on her vanity, swinging her heels and eating the cucumber slices right out of her waiting face mask.
She put her hands up immediately and bared teeth. "I surrender! Cuff me, sheriff, I'm at your mercy."

Almost one year after the conclusion of the Paranormal Liberation War, Ochako Uraraka is haunted by Himiko Toga’s death and trying to honour her sacrifice by working harder, doing more, being better.
Hawks surprises Ochako when he finds a quirk user who can capture and broadcast her and Himiko’s fight, to finally allow Japan and the world to see all that occurred between them, including Himiko’s sacrifice.
What Ochako doesn’t know is this is one step in a much larger plan, a plan that Hawks and Principal Nezu have been working on since Hawks made a fateful, impulsive decision as Ochako was being airlifted away from the battle at Gunga.

“Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”
Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”
“And the Queen.”
The smile drops from her face.
OR
[Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.

Summary
But those are dangerous thoughts. And not all her own, Tifa realizes with some fear. If this girl that Cloud cares for so deeply can rustle even the old chains of their bond, after ten years of disuse and heartsick love, then of course Tifa would want to go where she leads. If Sephiroth demands power, the power to protect and hurt and destroy and create--things Cloud wants--then doesn’t it make sense that Tifa wants that same softness?
--
Before the fall of Radiant Garden, Cloud Strife's heart was cracked in two. One ghost, he chased. The other chased him, and fell in love along the way.

“It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”
Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”
“But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”
