Summary
“So, what are you going to ask for when you win the Walk?” Clementine asked him, drowsy in bed.
“Dunno,” Hank said. “Maybe a fighter plane. That’d be pretty cool. Or an orgy.”
Clementine pushed herself up. “An orgy?”
“Sure.” Hank grinned as he watched the idea settle into her mind. “A hundred naked ladies and me. Be pretty sweet.”
“Henry Olson, you can wish for your hundred naked ladies and you will find not one of them is hotter than me. You’ll be disappointed.”
...
Clementine drives Olson up to Maine for the Long Walk.

Summary
"Cicadas spend the vast majority of their seventeen-year life cycles underground. They chew on roots for the better part of two decades, crawl up trees, Cronenberg/Kafka into enormous flies, tear out of their alien shells, scream for two months, and die. I guess cicada days could either be a long time spent growing but not emerging, or they could be days spent struggling to become something new that doesn’t quite pan out so great, or they could be the two months of screaming. Or maybe it’s the height of summer, or the days when you can’t stand the noise outside. I guess I don’t really know. But the words feel kind of right to say."
Will Byers and Mike Wheeler have spent a semester at different colleges in Manhattan. After five months of no contact, they're about to meet back in Hawkins for winter break. Will has spent the semester growing but not quite emerging as he struggles to become someone new. Mike has just been screaming.

Summary
“Love is not a gadget; love is not a toy.”
After stealing a seemingly-innocuous diary from the office of Colonel Roy Mustang, Winry Rockbell finds herself involved in the drama surrounding the man tasked with building the gadget—the weapon to end all wars. Alongside the Elric brothers, two physicist wunderkinds working on the top-secret Project Alchemy, she unravels the mysteries of the diary’s authorship and the exact nature of the relationship between the Colonel and his steely assistant Lieutenant Hawkeye. Caught in the crossfire of conspiracies to destroy both the military dictatorship and the father of the atomic bomb, Winry must come to grips with the consequences of having stolen something invaluable. Just who is the Amestrian Prometheus? And what will end up destroying the world first—the atom bomb or a girl’s diary?- Language:

Summary
After getting shot in the river and left for dead, Carpenter wakes up to find that the Trawler-man has dragged her down to his damp and shrimp-filled kingdom at last. Given the choice between taking some time to process her trauma, and tracking down her ex-god so she can kick him in the shins, Carpenter handles this situation in as healthy a manner as you'd expect.
A choose-your-own-adventure set immediately post-canon. Between anger and grief, forgiveness and catharsis, Carpenter finally gets the chance to say goodbye on her own terms.

“There’s one option left to us. Tonight, at least,” Carpenter says. “We could run.”
Faulkner looks over the half-completed Withermark, and back to Carpenter. He thinks back to his call with Eddie and his call with Mason. You’re only a martyr if somebody knows why you’re gone, a small, truthful voice inside of him says. And if you die tonight, nobody would know or care.
Carpenter cared, at least, enough to come back for him. Even if it had been with half a mind to kill him. That had to count for something. “Okay, then,” he says.or: five times Carpenter protects Faulkner and one time it's the other way around

They’ve locked the mud saint in the church kitchen. They’ve left the big industrial oven on, with its door open, in the hopes that the heat will dry him out enough that they can wrestle him onto the kiln car tomorrow in one piece.
What if it’s not that he’s lost his nerve, lost his faith, lost his reason?
What if he’s closer to the god now than he's ever been?

Summary
“And how did you come across a particularly sloppy Renoir reproduction?” Theo can’t help but ask as Boris gestures at the bartender for another two shots and smirks when Theo says reproduction. Even if Boris struck Theo as the art type, a fake Renoir is not the sphere of work that Theo could imagine Boris’ collection to be.
Boris ticks a thumbnail against the side of his glass pensively. “Friend of friend gave it to me. A gift of sorts. One of my associates suggested I get it looked at by professional.”
“And you found me,” Theo finishes for him.
Boris holds his hands out, palms up, and replies, “Small world, no?”
[Or art restoration expert Theo Decker finds himself slowly pulled into the high risk/high reward world of art forgery at the hands of his old classmate, Boris Pavlikovsky.]
