    Summary

    Her unsteady glance about herself doesn’t catch on a blue damask evening gown, but everything is only a blur of unfocused shapes and bright colors. She draws in a stuttering gasp, and then another, as gradually her surroundings begin to resolve themselves into a bewilderingly comfortable living room and the oddest assortment of people she has ever seen. ... They all look worn and bone-weary, but alive with expectant joy. They are all staring at her intently. They are strangers.

     

    --

    33 years ago Matilda made a dying pact in the arms of her murderer. Now that pact lies sundered by a lightning strike, and her soul with it. Waking again in the arms of loving strangers who seem to regard her as family, she tries to put together the pieces of the life she can't remember and what she means to the people around her.

    Summary

    He’s in danger. Evil wizards are after him for sure. What had he done? What had he forgotten? Who had he become when he wasn’t looking? Thoughts and questions swirled around like a terrifying vortex, and Gale’s mind flailed for any thread to hang on to.

    “So, we can’t go to the magic shop?”

     

    or: gale gets cursed by a vengeful hag, the world is still ending, and a fraying polycule is being lectured by a cat

    Summary

    “Hey!” shouts an unfamiliar voice. “What do you think you’re doing?”

    Maintaining her grip on the wriggling German Shepherd, Lae’zel looks up. A woman’s stalking over from the benches, arms tightly crossed over a deeply un-dog-park-like goth getup.

    “Thwarting an unsportsmanlike assault,” Lae’zel says. “The dirty one baselessly attacked – ”

    “Yes, she’s playing,” the woman says. “How dare she. Can you let go of my dog?”

    -------------------

    Meeting at a dog park, Lae'zel and Shadowheart's dogs are instant pals. (Lae'zel and Shadowheart, not so much.)

    Summary

    Toga Himiko has learned, after all these years, that she isn’t a good person. She would call herself unlovable, actually, and she thinks most others would agree.
    Then Uraraka Ochako moves into the apartment next door, and everything changes.
    Is Uraraka in love with Himiko, or the person she’s pretending to be? And when Spinner starts meddling, can Himiko stick to her values? Most of all, will their relationship be able to last through the lies?
