Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

Summary
“A month.” Dot said decisively. “Give her a month so we can stop panicking about rent so much and she can get back on her feet. And I promise you that if, by the end of it, you still don’t want her here, we’ll ask her to go.”
Leah chewed on her lip. “Just a month?”
“One month. That’s all I’m asking.”
OR
A roommate AU very loosely based on Friends, in which Fatin gets cut off and has to move in with Leah and Dot and start her life from scratch.

Summary
“Do you miss it?” Gloria asks. “Barbieland, I mean.”
Barbie considers this, looking over at Gloria. She’s wearing a loose linen blouse today, long sleeves pushed back to the elbows, and her hair is blowing slightly in the breeze coming in through the open kitchen window. She looks like every other woman in the world: beautiful.
“Yes,” Barbie says. “Sometimes. But I’d rather be here with you.”

Summary
"You're not honeymooners, are you?"
Peter almost dropped his tool bag. "W-What?! I– Uh–”
“You caught us,” Drax deadpanned. Peter tried desperately not to choke on his own spit. “We are indeed on our honeymoon. Because we are in love, and married.”

Summary
Ahab has no heart that beats, no lungs that heave, no eyes that see, and yet he knows himself acutely: the white flesh at his back, the binding cord, the black depths. He is dead, but his soul is not flown, tethered as if by its own line. The whale is a titan bound for Tartarus, and he is dragging Ahab with him to the abyss.
