Summary
Alina Oretsev owns a bookshop in a neighborhood in Os Alta that is escaping gentrification by the skin of its teeth and the sweat of its most notorious occupants, the Dregs. There are plenty of reasons why the secret police might be interested in Mrs. Oretsev’s shop, and none of them (thank the Saints) have anything to do with the fact that she occasionally glows in the dark.

Summary
Shen Yuan has been transmigrated into the body of a nameless random in a wuxia universe and has yet to figure out which one...or at least that was the case until his terrible neighbors fished a baby out of the river.
-
“Is that a baby?” Shen Yuan squawked before being hushed from every angle. A few of the men looked over their shoulders back towards the village and Shen Yuan abruptly understood the root of their concern.They didn’t want their wives to overhear.
‘Not good,’ Shen Yuan thought. They wouldn’t be worried about that if they weren’t planning to do something awful.
“It’s a fish,” one of the older, burlier men who acted as the de facto leader of the river folk said as he fixed Shen Yuan with a glare. “Just a fish.”
-
Or: that one where Shen Yuan is just a fisherman. Did you not hear him say that he was just a fisherman? Why does no one believe him when he says that?Bookmarked by friendly_ficus

Summary
Honoured a-niang,
Please give my loving regards to a-die, gege, and meimei. This disobedient son apologizes for not having written in a while. I have been busy with my duties and night hunts. Ouyang-shixiong will soon retire from being head disciple and I have taken on many of his duties. We also recently brought back Venom-Devouring Pandas to the sect, and I promise I will tell you about it. But first, I have a question.
Qing Jing Peak’s head disciple, Shen Qingqiu (Shen Jiu, as in black jade, until recently), not only shares our name, but also my face. He accused me of being a face-stealer when we met. It is like looking in the mirror, if I had a tendency to glare at everything and everyone. From what I gather, though he won’t speak to me much and no one seems to know anything about him, he is twenty-three years old. Two years my senior. Even his voice sounds like mine.
A-niang. Please. Is there anything you want to tell me?Series

Summary
Fang doesn’t have fucking game. He’s - he’s not even being subtle or classy about the trajectory of his gaze. He’s being forward, brash and insolent, unabashedly hungry, which -
- is making Julien’s heart rate double, for some horrific reason. This cannot be happening. He cannot be getting turned on by Thjazi fucking Fang. They are enemies, even if they do share one very vital person in common. Julien cannot be getting that tangled up with desire, never mind that competitiveness and carnal pleasures go hand in hand for him for other prospective bed partners.
He can’t be seriously considering this. He can’t actually agree to this. He can’t -
“If you stare at my chest any longer, you’re going to burn a hole through my shirt,” Thjazi says. “Let's get inside before we start undressing each other, yeah?”
In another world, the Lady Royce sends her knight to save Thjazi from the hangman's noose.
The consequences are quite pleasurable, for all parties involved.Series

Summary
Sylvain's father always says that no one celebrates Solsticetide like Gautier. It was bad enough when Sylvain was growing up: Goddess forbid the margrave's heir fail to buy into the festivities. It's grotesque now. Two years ago the people of Faerghus were boiling mouldered barley and toasting rats over the coals for their Solstice night feasts, and that was if they were lucky. To pretend that five years of civil war haven't ravaged people and land alike, that the old hearty customs can go on just as they have for centuries, it turns Sylvain's stomach—
Felix interrupts him. "Then come to Fraldarius."
* * *
Sylvain visits Fraldarius to help the new Duke preside over the winter holidays. It's a lot more complicated than he thinks.

Summary
“I am happy to send this over to Blood Like Wine, if you’d like. Now that Walt’s officially been…” Harlan pauses and then says, delicately, “extricated from the procedures, the new publisher is someone I think you’d get along with, and I think he’d be very interested in seeing your work.”
Ransom laughs, and laughs. “Fuck no,” he says. “I’m showing you this as a courtesy, before I take your spot on the NYT bestseller list with a rival company. Thanks for the meeting, Grandpops.”
—
Ransom doesn't murder his grandfather. But he does publish bestselling mystery novel Knives Out.
Two years later, he and Marta meet again.

Summary
“This… this would qualify as a mental breakdown, right?” Triton asked, frowning over his shoulder to where Percy was still fuming in the corner. The lady at the counter curiously glanced over before lifting a questioning brow. “My brother – half-brother, technically, I have much better breeding – decided to run away from home to where our father can’t reach him and now he won’t leave. And now I can’t leave unless he leaves,” Triton continued. Percy opened his mouth to object that wasn’t what happened at all, but the tyrant only waved a hand to silence him. “He’s seen war or whatever, so if you could maybe just drug him then I’ll throw him into a suitcase and we can be out of here by the Summer Solstice!”
Silence. Finally, the woman cleared her throat and turned to Percy.
“I’m guessing he’s the one you want checked into the mental hospital?” She asked. Triton gasped as Percy punched the air in victory.
“Aha!”
Or
Getting in trouble works a little differently when your parent is an all-powerful god. Sometimes you have to escape to the land beyond gods and get your immortal brother turned human to drag you back so you can be exploded a million pieces. You know, normal teenage stuff.

Summary
“Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”
Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.
Hollander.
Doesn’t ring a bell.
Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?
