Summary
When a man plays many roles, where does the false mask end, and the true face begin?
The city is a waypoint for trade, diplomacy, and of course, intrigue. Two separate worlds mingle, the bright and upstanding society of the day, and the dark and downtrodden fraternity of the night. Each has its own rules to follow, and its own paths to success. To be truly above it all, one must embrace both day and night. But such a thing may prove difficult indeed, if both the day and night lay claim on your very essence.

Summary
Lahan, a senior Data Analyst working for the Ka Corporation, has always assisted his adoptive father with any ad-hoc reports for the good of the company. But after an unclear incident, Lahan receives a particularly dense assignment, to be completed under the table. The results of his research could affect the future of the company, and his own as well. It's too bad that this work will interfere with an equally important project - finding a roommate with enough value to split the rent with.
Or: Lahan crunches data and attempts online dating.

Summary
“So has he taken your case then?”
“Case?” Sloane felt utterly lost.
“Well, it’s just that most of the people he sees rush out of here in tears or fury, and you look rather… well. I take it he’s accepted your case?” The man gestured up the stairs. “It must be a good one if it’s got him interested. He’s been picky about them for weeks,” he added, more to himself than to her.
“Pardon me, but I think there’s been a misunderstanding,” she said. “I live here.”
Sloane Worth is a young academic who moves to London for a change of scenery. After making friends with the doctor and detective upstairs, she gets swept up in their world of crime and mystery. Her talent for reading people as well as she reads books could rival the detectives' own, and soon she finds herself trying to untangle more than a web of crime but her heart strings as well.
Scene one takes place just before the blind banker.

Summary
Zuko does not notice when the Water Tribe girl first stirs. She is staring at his face — his scar — but strangely it is only when he faces her head-on that she is afraid.
She is the first person who ever flinches at his right side instead of his left.
He begins his interrogation at once. Uncle has dozed off, thankfully. If he knew she was awake, he would slow things down by offering tea. Still, Zuko is not a total barbarian. He thrusts the lukewarm tea in the girl’s direction. She looks around wildly, no doubt disoriented by her surroundings and Zuko presses his advantage.
“Where is the Avatar?”
A canon-divergent tale: Katara must protect the newly-found Avatar from a Fire Nation Prince, although he is not quite who she expected. But Katara has plenty of secrets of her own...

Summary
Tali'Zorah is a young girl, a small Quarian, in a vast and confusing Galaxy. Her whole life she has been taught to find one thing, work towards one thing, returning to Rannoch, returning home. She knows what she is, and where she belongs, and it is in the Walled Garden, with her people.
And then she falls in with a human, Jane Shepard. Repulsive, strange, alien, at first like all humans, if kind. But something more is there too.
