    Summary

    “Yeah, unless I don’t finish my degree.” It’s a grumpy little mumble, barely meant for Yelena, but she responds to it nevertheless.

    “What do you mean?“ she demands. “You only have a small amount of time left! Why would you stop now?”

    “I don’t know,” Kate murmurs, and Yelena is bewildered to hear a faint echo in her own emptiness, coming from nearly six thousand kilometers away. “I just don’t really know what to do now, I guess. Clint says I’m the new Hawkeye, but that’s not official or anything. And even when it is, it’s going to be a lot of training. So I’m waiting to wait, or something, and — and I don’t know why I’m talking to you about this, actually.”

    “Sometimes, it’s nice to just talk,” Yelena thinks and then says. “But I don’t think you should drop out of school, Kate Bishop. School is cool.”

    (Yelena decides to go to college. It just so happens to be the same one Kate Bishop attends.)

    Summary

    There is a world in which people's souls are made manifest, taking the form of a creature who walks the world beside them—these creatures are called dæmon.

    Imogen has lived half her life with a dæmon that shows the world her soul is a wild and frightening thing and ever since she started seeing the strange-true images in other’s heads, she’s been thinking they might be right. Laudna’s cursed or evil, if rumours are to be believed. Her dæmon is unsettled, and as unsettling as she is. Maybe he always will be. But maybe the way souls appear is not how they are, Imogen thinks, because she’s never met anyone better than that strange pair.

     

    A chance encounter at the start of the school year takes them across the country and years as they figure out who they are, to themselves and to one another.

    Summary

    Laudna’s pottery class is simple, entry level - designed for children, in a way. That does not, however, stop one Imogen Temult from being absolutely, positively, downright horrible at it. Her creations, to some, look like the "items god rejected," but the charming praises of the pretty woman running the class keep her coming back all the same.

    In other words: The three Laudna-led pottery classes Imogen attends, and the one intimate after class conversation that follows suit.

    Summary

    In all honesty, Imogen thought Laudna had forgotten the conversation entirely. It had been fifteen years ago and they’d been drunk. They’d been upset and emotional and they had had hundreds of late-night talks just like that – lying close together in the dark, feeling the safest they’d ever felt.

    But now, sitting across from Laudna at the breakfast bar in their apartment, her bagel slowly falling apart in her limp grip, Imogen had the stark realisation that she’d underestimated Laudna’s memory.

    Fifteen years ago, two best friends made a drunken pact to get married if they were still single at thirty five. Now, Laudna wants to make good on the agreement, and she’s prepared a list of reasons.

    In case Imogen needs any extra convincing.

    Summary

    “Laudna, wh—” Imogen swallows. She looks down at Laudna’s ring. On her ring finger. She’s never asked about that, Laudna realizes, isn’t that funny? “Are you sure? Just because now—I don’t want you to feel like you gotta—”

    -

    The Hells have won. All that’s left of the gods is magic and dust, but Predathos is gone, and the world is safe. And as the victory sinks in, the reality of that future, hope miraculously returns to Laudna… and something else does, too.

    Something that changes everything.
