Summary
Jaina Proudmoore is the most powerful mortal mage of Azeroth, and she is sick of every other Horde Warchief turning out to be a despot like clockwork. When Sylvanas Windrunner wins her mak'gora against Varok Saurfang, Jaina's patience comes to an end - and so does Sylvanas' reign.
Sylvanas is spared execution so that she will not become a martyr to her loyalists and to Horde sovereignty, but she is demoted and placed under house arrest - and Jaina herself will be the banshee's watcher. Because if there is one other thing Jaina is sick of, it's the collapse of every community she tries to nurture, her seemingly poison touch. But this vigil over a single banshee seems like something she can manage without it wilting and crumbling in her hands.
Cut off from her resources and forced to exercise what power she still has through intermediaries, Sylvanas spends her days mostly alone under Jaina's watch. She worked to protect the Forsaken against an evil that lurks beyond Death; she tried to save her people from eradication; she tried to draw out and crush their enemies. Now, unable to pursue these enemies real or imagined, what is left for her to become?
Covers a divergent BFA and Shadowlands timeline.

Summary
“Jaina looked from the head of the table to her left, at Anduin talking animatedly with Tyrande, and then to the empty seat at the other end. Its emptiness bothered her. In what way, she wasn’t sure. But, despite the atrocities the Banshee had committed, Jaina couldn’t help but feel like there was something very wrong about not seeing Sylvanas Windrunner and her cold, sarcastic arrogance there. The sour feeling in her gut became restlessness.”
When the Warchief of the Horde returns to her immediate arrest, Jaina finds herself wanting to figure out just what leads the Banshee Queen to make the decisions she makes — and ends up finding far more than she bargained for.

Summary
Imagine, Sylvanas thinks, how merciful my death would've been had a Lich Queen been chosen over a King. Jaina Proudmoore has no need of a Banshee. I would have been slain cleanly, as would all of Azeroth. Efficiently.
"A marriage of state," says Jaina. "A mutual surrender for a mutual victory."

Summary
Here’s the thing about Ranger superpowers: they heal quick and they’re strong and they’re fast and everything is just a little bit muted, just a little bit less than it used to be. Kim still snaps pencils on the regular, when she’s frustrated and not paying enough attention. Food tastes blander, sensations are duller, the shower never feels as hot as it used to.
After the dust settles, Kim is having trouble readjusting to life in Angel Grove.
