Summary
It starts when Roy goes over to his sister's house and is met by Phoebe at the door, smiling and giggling in a Richmond jersey. That's not so unusual, though Roy does miss the days when she was tiny and adorable in his old Chelsea shirt. It isn't until she turns around to lead him to the kitchen that he realizes how wrong things are.
Or: Phoebe's new Richmond shirt says Tartt on the back. Roy has some feelings about it.

Summary
Fiyero Tigelaar has stood at the top of a lot of cliffs and been to a lot of parties.
Galinda Upland feels like a party. She's beautiful and perfectly expected, fun in the ways that never come close to the core of him, safe from touching him in a way that matters.
Elphaba Thropp feels like a cliff’s edge, like the promise of the drop.
Fiyero’s stood at the top of a lot of cliffs but never been brave or drunk enough to make the jump.

Summary

Or: Mulan is tasked with keeping the foreign princess happy during negotiations. It takes her a little while, but she manages it.

Summary
Every season sees Cressida spending more time on the wall, watching the dancers with an expression calculated to be the right amount of wistful but never jealous. She stands under the lights at the angle best positioned to draw attention to the gleam of her hair and her jewels and her gown, and she speaks to the young women who will make the best contrast to her, and she watches and she tries to learn.
Women adjusting their gloves and looking up at their dance partners with a smile that seems to run through their whole bodies; women sweeping around the ballroom, shivering almost imperceptibly when their hands meet their partners’; women clustering together on the edges of the room, giggling when the right man approaches them. Cressida’s attention gets caught on these smiles like a necklace on fine netting. The other young ladies tilt their heads, expose the long elegant lines of their necks, flutter fans to draw attention to their chests—all tricks Cressida learned early and learned well—and Cressida can’t look away.

Summary
“No, indeed,” Mr. Weston rushes to say. “That is, you are correct. This is but a proposed tweak to that system. It may yield some slight improvements, though its… forgive me, its effect on the supply of the feed of livestock is not yet well understood.” He almost wants to laugh at himself, the way he trips over his words. But who would have expected that charming Mrs. Knightley would have ever heard of crop rotation systems?
“You must forgive me for intruding,” she says earnestly. “I know that my understanding is limited at best.” Her expression now is a bit self-conscious, almost wry. “I have not always found agricultural methods so interesting as I do now.”
OR: Emma and Mr. Knightley have both changed in small ways since their marriage. Other people start to notice.

Summary
Kip likes Hunter’s teammates more than he expected to, which is to say not all that much.
Some of them are good—some of them are great—some of them are terrible, and a lot of them just have no idea how to talk to a queer person.

Summary
“Ilya, you’re playing the Voyageurs next, in Montreal. How are you feeling about that?” An ESPN mic is held to his face.
Rozanov grins. “Really good. About time. I know we have been winning a lot, but is always the most fun to beat Montreal.”
“The situation’s kind of changed though, hasn’t it?”
“Is true.” Rozanov looks almost thoughtful. “It used to be the most fun to beat them because they had the best player on their team. Now…” Rozanov trails off. He chances a look to the side, as if to check if someone’s there or not. “Now is going to be fun because they are very stupid.” Rozanov’s face is very hard. Serious. Angry. Scary.
Or: Signing with the Montreal Voyageurs should have been the best day in Jordan Bicker’s career. If only it weren’t for Ilya Rozanov…
