    Summary

    “The Fellowship is to set out in December,” Lord Elrond explained, “I require your services as a Messenger to travel with them, until you’ve passed the mountains, or until Gandalf sees fit to release you.”
    Panic coiled in Rhosynel’s chest, as two things became apparent. Firstly, that she could easily end up roped into travelling further on the whims of a wizard. And secondly, that if word reached her employer that she point-blank refused Lord Elrond, she’d be kicked from the Messenger services.
    In other words, Rhosynel was trapped.

    *

    Working as a messenger Rhosynel is accustomed to travelling the length and breadth of Middle Earth, so carrying a missive to the village of Bree should have been easy. But this simple task sets off a chain of events, entangling her in the lives of strangers and the fate of Middle Earth, which leaves her fighting to keep both them, and herself, alive.

    Summary

    It's hard to live in the shadow of legends when you want to become one yourself.

    At just 15, Micky Balboa is taking the figure skating world by storm. With her Adrian’s grace and Rocky’s unbreakable spirit, she’s unstoppable on the ice—until a catastrophic injury knocks her out of the spotlight and threatens to end her Olympic dreams before they’ve even begun. Out of the game and off the radar, Micky needs a way back into the conversation—or risk fading into obscurity.

    Nikandr Angeloff skates like he was born on ice. He's a hockey prodigy with ice in his veins and a reputation for explosive speed—and even more explosive fists. With pro scouts circling and college offers pouring in, he was untouchable... until one vicious fight cost him everything. Now suspended and stuck in the penalty box of life, Nika’s future is in freefall.

    When fate throws Micky and Nika onto the same rink, sparks fly and the past threatens to drag them both under. But beneath the pressure of legacy and expectations something unexpected begins to take shape.

    Summary

    “Did you want to talk about anything?” she asked before she could lose her nerve about it.

    “What, um,” he said, and immediately there was the guard on his face, the mask. “What did— what do I— what do you think I might want to talk about?”

    Yelena swallowed. The doors were still open. “Oh, I don’t know. Uh, like the, uh, crazy things my dad says. Like, maybe if you wanted to talk about that, I thought, you know, you could come in and we could talk about that.”

    Bob didn’t move for a moment. His dark eyes were fixed on the floor, on the crack between the elevator and the floor to her room. On the void between, tiny and endless, a crack of pitch blackness in the building that eyes never saw and a finger couldn’t fit into, but a void all the same. “Do you… want to talk about that?” he asked, his voice quiet and low and cautious.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In the aftermath of the Void, Bob and Yelena work through some stuff together.
