    Summary

    They migrate between beds like some sort of strange, three-bodied alien, always pressed together in tangled limbs and huffed laughter and gentle teasing. It works, somehow, and days turn into weeks turn into months, and for the first time ever, Elphaba thinks--hopes--suspects--she might not be alone

    OR

    None of them were supposed to interact at Shiz. They should've been separate, should never have even crossed paths, really, but they did and they can't change that and to be honest, they wouldn't do it even if they could. What they have is too good to be stopped by little things like society.

    Summary

    “Brutally honest,” Jamie says, as if he’s still trying to get the point across. “No more secrets.”

    Roy stares at him. “Yes. I know what words mean.”

    “Okay,” Jamie says, and then he says, “I talked to Keeley about maybe being bisexual because that night we fought over her I wasn’t just jealous about her.”

    Or: Roy Kent finds himself in a situation. Fuck everyone, and Jamie Tartt in particular (gently, on soft sheets, all night long – ugh).

    Summary

    aka "An Inquisitive Arcane Trickster Rogue's Guide to Asexuality and Healing (and Fuck What Other People Say), by Riz Gukgak"

    Aelwyn saunters into his office like she owns the place, rather than being on trial as Riz’s junior business partner. She plonks herself down on the arm of a chair, door slamming shut behind her with a lazy flick of a Thaumaturgy, show-offy and casual as she announces, without so much as glancing in Riz’s direction, “Your boyfriend broke up with me.”

    Summary

    They're not supposed to kill President Brenner. She knows this. That's the mission statement.

    But as Nancy thinks about the missing finger on Steve's hand, about the scars around Enobaria's mouth from the surgery giving her normal teeth, about Jonathan's prosthetic hand, about Peeta's prosthetic leg, about Katniss' scarred ear, about Finnick and Cashmere and Steve and Nancy's history, she remembers the promise she made to Jonathan in their bedroom. The promise to kill President Brenner for what he did to Steve and everyone else.

    Nancy is supposed to be the rational one. She's the one who everyone is supposed to be able to count on to make the logical, wise decisions, have the most military logic and training.

    And she does, really. She knows how to make military decisions that will benefit the most number of people. She knows how to plan an invasion or an attack, how to minimize the collateral damage of an attack.

    (She is also capable of justifying a great many things to herself.)

    It was probably a mistake to send Nancy up to the President's office by herself, with no one but Jonathan at her side and Steve by the door.

    (The final invasion of Two, the Capitol, and the aftermath.)
