    Summary

    In the course of her duties, Maomao anticipates tasting many exotic and delightful foods, and perhaps even better, many exotic and delightful toxins.

    She fails to anticipate just how much trouble some of those substances will cause her, and in what way.

     

    Or, Maomao ingests some kind of sex pollen, and Jinshi steps up to the plate.

    Summary

    They let some of their biggest truths sit unspoken between them. It was a kind of a game or an act of trust. I know who you are. And every time he came through for her, each leap of faith that paid off with interest, each time she raised her eyes to his and found them watching her -- assessing, caressing, surprised, knowing, wanting -- she found it harder and harder to wait the few short weeks to their wedding night.

    Summary

    Maomao has a lot of secrets that she keeps from Jinshi - but when one of her deadliest comes back to haunt her Jinshi gets caught in the crossfire and is kidnapped.

    But Maomao is a forced to be reckoned with when you mess with the people she loves and nothing will stop her from getting Jinshi back

    --

    I truly think that Maomao has all the attributes needed (except a lack of morals) to be an assassin and couldn't get the idea out of my head.

    Summary

    Why it's happened is far less relevant to Maomao than it *has*. She's made a decision and she's not backing out now, no matter how tempting it is. Regular baths. Infinite medical ingredients. Someone who adores her--even if there's no accounting for taste. Contracts have been signed, oaths have been sworn, rituals have been performed.

    Except for the very last one.

When Jinshi confronts Maomao, a cloud of golden pollen swirling around her, he's ready for a distasteful look, a disparaging comment, or a simple dismissal.

    Summary

    “We hate each other.”

    He raised an eyebrow. “Do we?”

    She sighed, “You know what I mean.”

    Bellamy shook his head, his eyes on her mouth. “I don’t know left from right when it comes to you these days, Griffin.”

    Dr. Clarke Griffin is the lead biological anthropologist at L'Arche, one of the biggest upper Paleolithic archaeological sites in Europe. Every summer, she runs the excavations at L'Arche with her infuriating co-leader, lead archaeologist Dr. Bellamy Blake. They've been at each other's throats for years, and the 2015 field season looks like it's going to be one of their most combative yet, thanks to some things that changed the year before. Clarke is ready work hard for the success of the dig and ready to fight him at every turn if she must. But Bellamy is tired of fighting.

    Summary

    Gendry had always been a blacksmith’s apprentice.

    But one day, he wandered into the godswood and stood before a weirwood tree, its ancient face carved deep into the bark. There, he closed his eyes and whispered a wish, a silent plea carried by the wind.

    He never expected the Old Gods to listen.
    And yet, they did. Because not long after, he met her, the lord’s youngest daughter, Arya. And suddenly, his wish no longer felt like a dream but a fate written in the roots of the old tree itself.

    Summary

    “I need you to have sex with me.”

    Draco stared at her, sure he had misheard. “Pardon?”

    Hermione looked up at the ceiling, taking a deep breath. “I have it on good— I have heard— oh bloody hell,” she muttered. “I’m bad in bed. I need practice.”

    His lungs had entirely stopped working. “Practice,” he repeated dully.

    “Yes, practice.”

    “At sex.”

    “At sex.”

    “And you came to me why?”

    “Because what else are we going to do here this month?”
