    Summary

    elsie hannaway, famed people pleaser, hates jack smith turner with a burning passion. since the very moment she looked up the cute boy in her first year physics class excitedly, only to realize that he had been behind the paper years before that had single handedly reduced her future field of study to a subject of mockery, elsie has taken every single negative emotion that she usually keeps locked behind a carefully curated version of herself and funnelled it into unadulterated loathing.

    now, in the fifth & final year of her undergraduate degree, the only thing standing between her and an acceptance into her program of choice is a spot TA-ing the university's introductory physics course. unfortunately, jack smith-turner will be standing beside her as her co-TA.

    in theory, this is an impossible arrangement, but jack & elsie are soon to discover that things are never as they seem. elsie can be a million versions of herself simultaneously, an electron can be a particle & a wave, and perhaps jack smith turner can be both a scourge on theoretical physics and the best thing that has ever happened to her.

    OR: what if jack & elsie, rival undergraduates, were forced to co-TA a physics 100 class?

    Summary

    “How old are you, comrade?” the man asks, instead of answering him.
    “Nineteen, sir,” Dmitry answers dutifully. The man has a gun at his hip and a temper. Better not provoke him if he doesn’t want to end up with a bullet between the eyes.
    “I take it you didn’t fight during the Great War.”
    “I was locked at Tsarskoye Selo with all the other servants before I was of age,” he replies with what can only described as a mocking smirk. Then, after a pause, “sir.”

    (Dmitry is the kitchen boy in exil with the Romanovs. That's only the beginning of his story, if the end of theirs.)

    Summary

    'cause if we don't leave this town,
    we might never make it out

    “So… where are we going?”

    Dmitry knew prodding her didn’t always work, but she would have to tell him eventually anyway. When he glanced over Anya shrugged. “Did I not tell you?”

    “No…”

    “Oh. Well, I decided to run away.”

    ~~~

    “What if I come with you?”

    ~~~

    Anya runs from her grief. Dmitry follows her, as he always does. Neither of them really knows what they're getting themselves into.
