    Summary

    Kinosaki Mei is tired of being followed around by six guards for his protection, but he understands that as the young first prince, he needs someone to look after him. Upon hearing of his discomfort, the Emperor, Kinosaki's father, assigns his eldest son with a single guard, highly skilled, and capable of protecting Kinosaki singlehandedly. However, the knight is with the surname Gero, a profound kingdom west of the Kinosaki Kingdom, claimed to be a lesser cousin who does not mean anything to the main royal family line. But why? Why, no matter the relationship, would a Gero be interested in protecting the heir of the Kinosaki Kingdom?

    Summary

    Sophia Laforteza is a journalist who has been stuck in a researcher position for ‘The Riff’, one of the biggest pop culture columns in L.A., for the last four years. She has tried every trick in the book to climb the corporate ladder, but none of it has worked. With living expenses rising and her salary staying the same, the rope is starting to tighten around her neck. That is when, after a vague comment, her best friend Megan showed her an ad: FULL-TIME DOG SITTER NEEDED.

    Sophia almost laughed out loud, until Megan explained that this wasn’t just any regular dog-sitting position. It was a dog sitting for a burned-out pop star who had decided to move to the middle of nowhere after a nasty divorce from one of Hollywood’s top actors.

    A lot of theories came out of the divorce: cheating, mistreatment, substance abuse, insanity. Nobody really had the answer. Joshua Abrams had come out the other side as the golden boy he had always been perceived to be, but Daniela Avanzini? She just vanished from the public eye.

    How much would Sophia’s life change if she could find out what happened?

    Summary

    After the explosion, Dr Robotnik learnt three things in quick succession:

    1. A sufficiently large detonation combined with a sufficiently large amount of Chaos Energy creates a wormhole through which one can travel (or be sucked at the last second) to a parallel universe relatively safely.
    2. Earth seemed to stay pretty consistent across most universes.
    3. It appeared that, after a life of self-imposed seclusion in the manner of a gizmo-ridden, super-genius, hermetic monk, when it came down to brass tacks, Dr Robotnik was hard-pushed to tell the difference between most Earths.

    Dr Robotnik jumps through universes to try and get back home, confronting his feelings for Agent Stone along the way.

    Summary

    Venom goes about love in every wrong way he knows how. Thank god for late night television.

    “Me. They invited me for dinner,” Eddie insists, trying again to make his hair look some specific way in the mirror. He’s given up and started over three times.

    It’s a double date. Like on that show.

    “What—what are you watching that there are double dates? Jesus. I should cancel cable. Make you read a book instead.”

    No!

    Summary

    Moving in with Shang Qinghua has brought a sense of warmth that Mobei Jun has never felt before.

    However, it also seems to bring with it some strange behaviour from Shang Qinghua. Shang Qinghua is skilled at disguising his truer expressions from everyone but Mobei Jun, and it is quite clear that he’s working hard to hide something from him.

    Summary

    “So there’s a trick when it comes to chopping onions, you know—” And it only hits Apollo then, as he’s positioning Klavier’s hand over the onion and showing him where to cut, just what he’s doing. The skin-to-skin contact, Apollo practically pressed up against Klavier’s side. Strangely intimate—but it’s normal, isn’t it? How else is he supposed to show Klavier the proper technique? It’s too obtuse to explain just through words, so—

    It’s all an excuse, though. Apollo knows his hand lingers on Klavier’s. Hopefully Klavier doesn’t.

    Or: cooking lessons, and a simmer that boils over.

    Summary

    “I don’t know why someone would break into the office just to leave a tree on my desk, no.” Because, clearly, it’s not Athena. Mr. Wright has to save the single potted plant in the office from the brink of death every week. And Trucy—well, the absurdity of it all points to her, but nothing else does.

    Oh, he’s got a secret admirer! Widget sing-songs, flushed bright pink. Athena’s face quickly turns to match it as she slaps a hand over him. She sputters a moment, only for Apollo to interrupt—“What, is this the new trend? Confessing love through a tree?”

    “It’s not a new trend!” Athena huffs, indignant. “It’s tradition.”

    Summary

    Klavier smiles when he quips, “Take care your hearts aren’t stolen away, ja?” And of course he says that—of course he’s got that perfect, beautiful smile on when he says it, too.

    But what Apollo can’t explain is how his eyes flick to Apollo’s when he says it. Not unless his mind made it up; not unless it’s confirmation bias, wish fulfillment, some horrible mix of the two.

    Or: perception happens outside the courtroom, too.

    Summary

    “I’m not sure what exactly you want, Herr Wright,” he says instead, flattens his voice down so neither anger nor tears leak through, and tries not to wince at the fact it defaults to friendly but distant charm instead. Like Wright’s an overenthusiastic fan who’s caught him while he’s busy and won’t take a hint.

    Wright knocks a fist against the doorframe, somewhat absent-mindedly. “I want lunch,” he says, finally. “The bus takes forever, give me a lift back into the city, will you?”

    In which Klavier and Phoenix are smart enough to finally have that conversation about the past, and dumb enough to do it in two parking lots and a burger barn drive-thru. There's no accounting for taste.

    Summary

    What would he even ask? ‘What do I do?’, what are we?’, how do I tell apart a friend from lover?’, the options sit heavily on his shoulders, before uncertainty can further settle in, he hears the words tripping out of his mouth.
    “Kinosaki...” every part of his body screams that this is a grave mistake, and he doesn’t even need to look at his hands to know that they are shaking. He craves the answer, and yet, he’s afraid of the question. He feels the weight of Kinosaki’s eyes on him. So, he folds to his own fear and asks the first thought that comes across his mind, “What do you think of Beppu?”

    Or, Gero Hikaru asks Kinosaki Mei a question and fears what it means for their relationship.

    Summary

    “It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”

    Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”

    Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”
