Summary
Peter smiles as he sees her, that lazy half-smile that made her heart race when she was sixteen.
It’s too late to run now, her mind helpfully supplies, though she made a real habit of it in her teens. Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey is a grown ass woman who doesn’t run when she sees an ex she never quite got over, who still fucks her up with a look across a crowded room.
No. Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey puts her chin up and walks straight into the fray.
(Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey also stops a waiter on the way to the fray and gets a giant glass of chardonnay because she’s not getting through this night sober.)
(Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey is a realist.)

Summary
Sirius’s thoughts are a slow-moving, impending disaster. How he wants to pin Remus up against the cupboards, to crowd him into a corner; how he wants to intertwine their fingers, to brush his lips against Remus’s forehead, his jaw. Instead, he settles for ducking his head and sliding a finger through the belt loop of Remus's jeans—a ridiculous gesture so utterly intimate, even for the pair of them, that he only allows it because he’s just drunk enough.
“Stop stealing my bloody clothes, Lupin.” He says, very quietly.
Remus looks up at him, eyes dark, and murmurs pleasantly: “Better learn to do your own laundry then, Black. Consider it my fee.”
***
It was an impossible thing, living with Remus Lupin--but Sirius was doing it anyway.

Summary
“When did you last sleep?” Lucy stumbles at last, clumsy and more obvious than she meant it to be, but maybe there are no good opening lines at moments like this.
Another one of those slow, brittle blinks. “Thursday,” Lockwood says, his voice sounding far away, untethered.
She frowns. “Which Thursday?”
“A Thursday.” Lockwood tilts his head slightly, a statue coming to slow life. “We still have those, don’t we?”

Summary
"Kaz opened the door, and the sight of her was almost enough to make him forget everything — the pain, the guilt, the turmoil of emotion this day had been. A string of tension snapped, releasing him. She was at the window, dark hair loose to the wind, casually perched on it just like she used to, before everything. The crows she’d taken the time to feed fretted around her, recognizing her careful fingers. A younger one had nestled in her lap, and gently, she petted its ruffled feathers.
'Pretty' was nowhere near enough. She was every beautiful thing in the world.
Kaz found the breath he’d lost, and felt a tired smile bloom on his lips."
------
Six months after the events of Crooked Kingdom, Kaz Brekker begins to heal. It starts with a long-owed apology to a friend, and the return of the Wraith in Ketterdam.

Summary
Gone were the pictures framed by her bed, of loved ones he hadn’t bothered to ask about, never taking the time to be there for her in ways more substantial than mere survival. Gone was the huge pile of clothes she used to drape over the chair, rotating between them instead of ever taking the time to fold them neatly and put them away.
No matter where his gaze landed, all Lockwood could find was the evidence of her absence, as if playing some sort of sick, twisted game of spot the seven differences.
--
After Lucy leaves, Lockwood is left with more memories and feelings to deal with than he'd expected.

Summary
Lucy thinks she might just die.
It's not the first time that this particular train of thought has invaded her mind - especially after the recent mayhem in Mayfair or their close encounter with a Spectre in Shoreditch. But it might just be the first time she expects to meet her end, not at the hand of a sinister spirit, but by boredom.
__
Lucy and Lockwood are schmoozing at a party - it's not Lucy's cup of tea. Luckily for her, Lockwood has a plan to spice things up.

Summary
“So, you’re taking Lucy and not me for the manpower?”
“Er, partly.” Lockwood grimaces. “But mostly because the party is for married couples only and no offense George, but you’re not my type.”
Lucy chokes on an unfortunately timed sip of tea.
“I am offended, actually.” George says thoughtfully as he bites into his final slice of toast. “But I’ll get over it on my way to the archives to do some more research.”
Or: Lucy and Lockwood go undercover as a fake couple despite their very real feelings.

Summary
Sansa finds it difficult to look at Jon’s face, with its weathered lines and cragginess. It is the face of the North and a face that northerners trust; the face of Sansa’s brothers and her father, who had been loved and respected by their tenants as their forefathers had been when they were kings. How can Sansa feel anything but resentment, looking into that face and knowing that all of her years of hard work will never earn her the respect that that profile engenders within seconds?
But she does. It is a small, burning coal of something that must be smothered.

Summary
In the 1950's, the American Mob partners with Cuba’s President to create the world's first sovereign nation of crime. Cubans object, but Hollywood shows up in droves-- the playground for the rich that results eclipses Vegas.
It's the perfect small pond for a hardboiled private eye, who makes a living saving the downtrodden when the law won’t help. Plus life's high-stakes enough to entertain her thrill-seeking, playboy husband.

Summary
It was Mrs. Figg who suspected first.
She noticed many things, sitting on her side of her fence with her cats chasing butterflies and nuzzling her ankles, Mundungus and the other watchers dropping by for tea now and then.
Mrs. Figg noticed that Petunia was a nosy bit of work with insecurities hanging from her every harsh angle. She noticed when Dudley learned the word MINE-- the whole neighborhood noticed that one. She noticed that Vernon glared at owls.
She noticed that when Petunia gave Harry a truly horrendous haircut one year, it grew back in at a normal rate. Harry was uneven and weird-looking for ages, hiding under beanies when he could.
When Mrs. Figg had Harry over for carefully miserable afternoons of babysitting, she noticed nothing moved that shouldn't. He didn't accidentally make flowers out of fallen leaves, or levitate anything during tantrums, or turn toys funny colors.
Mrs. Figg called up her mother, interrupting the wizarding bridge game she was winning against the nursing home staff, and asked her how she had known, decades back, that her youngest daughter was a squib.

Summary
When Hermione Jean Granger was one year old her parents died in a car crash. She knew all about it because she asked a lot of questions and her aunt and uncle believed in answering them.
Why is the sky blue, auntie? Why are b's and d's like in the mirror? Where do songs come from? Why did Jenny Hopkins call me a--?
Her father had accelerated into a green light, like you were supposed to. (By the time she was eight, Hermione had the driver's rulebook memorized). A truck driver, going the opposite way, hadn't stopped at a red.
Hermione had been strapped in a car seat in the back, her aunt and uncle told her. She hadn't been hurt at all except for the scar that stood out, jagged, on her forehead.
As Hermione grew up into a gangly, bushy-haired, buck-toothed wonder, she thought she could remember it-- a glaring green light, a rush of cold air.
