    Summary

    Alexander takes the letter from my hands, and I know he sees the name on the envelope because he sets it on the table without opening it, quickly, like the words would burn him if he read them.

    “Oliver,” Alexander says carefully, his voice a mixture of fear, wonderment, and grief. “Are you sure you want me to –?”

    “I need to know if you can see what I see,” I tell him. “You’re the only one who could be objective about it. Meredith’s too prejudiced against him. Pip would just pity me. I can’t talk to Wren. You’re the only one who can be objective. You’ll tell me if it’s nothing. You always have.”

    Summary

    Eddie Kraspbak has put aside his old life for good. He drives a stagecoach now and keeps to himself- his days of running with the Denbrough gang are long gone. But when two old friends show up and tell him they have unfinished business back in Derry, Eddie can’t resist the chance to put a final nail in the coffin of the past…and maybe find out why Richie broke his promise all those years ago.

    “I’ll take left if you take right,” Eddie calls out but when he looks over Richie isn’t even firing his gun; he’s looking at Eddie with a strange, unreadable expression on his face.

    “What is it?” Eddie asks, panicking. “Are you hit?”

    “No,” Richie says, “I just. I just wanted you know. That I…that I feel the same way.”

    “What?” Eddie asks, totally lost. A bullet whistles past his ear.

    “I mean I...” Richie says, as if he’s struggling to get it out. “I feel the same way about you. I mean. That I always did.”

    “Could we maybe postpone this conversation?” Eddie says, having to yell over the gunfire. “To a time when we aren’t getting shot at?”

    Summary

    There's a boy down in the basement level of the club whose eyes flash silver in the strobe lights, whose nails are sharp behind Youngjae's neck and at his hips where the friction between them is sweetest. The music strips them down to their heartbeats and their breaths and Youngjae is caught by the wild, spicy scent on the other's skin.

    Summary

    Jue Viole Grace is a backwater country noble with no prospects and Aguero Agnis Khun is a disgraced noble with no future. Any union between the two of them is guaranteed to amount to nothing, which is exactly what their guardians are hoping for.

    But the two of them (and possibly even fate itself) might have other plans.
