Summary
John Smith has followed a routine and spent his days alone for just about as long as anybody can remember. He eats, goes to work, eats, more work, goes home, eats and marks, and sleeps, just as he likes it.
Clara Oswald is young, has just gotten her phD, married her childhood sweetheart, and gotten a job as a professor in one of London's finest universities. She's also just moved into the flat next to John's.
When the two meet, there's an instant connection, but surely it's nothing beyond friendship. Clara is happy (or so she says), and John doesn't mind being relegated to being her best friend, but as they grow closer, John develops the sneaking suspicion that Clara's life isn't exactly what it seems.

Summary
Lilith let her eyes roam around the woman, traveling from her lithe figure, to her lips, painted a deep shade of red, to her perfectly aristocratic nose. The brunette watched as Zee, or if Hilda’s shriek was anything to go by, Zelda slowly pulled away from the hug that Hilda had enveloped her in upon her arrival, only to be wrapped up in another one, this time courtesy of Sabrina.

Summary
Carol and Manousos might finally have a way to reverse the joining, but it could cost Zosia her life. Even if Manousos' plan works, Carol has to ask herself, just how much of the Zosia she knows will be left behind? And what will the Others do when they discover she isn't part of them anymore?

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.
