    Summary

    Harrow kept her eyes on the horizon. "Do I disappoint you, honored wife?"

    Gideon was starting to think that 'honored wife' was a placeholder for 'fucking asshole' or something similar. "Not at all. I think more girls should aspire to be gremlins when they grow up."

    [God has been absent for centuries and BoE conquers the Houses. To solidify their claim, they have the daughter of Commander Wake marry one of the House officials.]

    Summary

    It was like watching a puppeteer pull all of Harrow’s strings simultaneously, Gideon thought; the little hagette stood straighter, though not taller- she was still five foot nothing, more furious purse dog than shaking purse dog- but she nodded firmly, once, before turning to Cam.

    "Very well,” she said. “Marry me, Camilla.”

    A vicious spit-take on Gideon’s part translated to one exceptionally high eyebrow in Cam, but nothing more.

    “Like I said,” Cam began carefully, “I’m married to Dulcie, and unfortunately, polyamory is not recognized under the UCMJ. I can’t marry you without her losing her benefits.”

    Then, because Cam was the absolute worst, she shrugged and said, offhandedly,
    “Why don’t you marry Gideon?”

    - or -

    Harrow needs health insurance, and Gideon needs Harrow (to not be a dick.) What better way to provide for them both than a little light fraud between frenemies?

    Summary

    Conversations about topics such as the body, illness, health, care, or sexuality are often uncomfortable and, if not handled with care, can easily backfire. However, Rudo knew it was better to pull out that splinter before it got infected, it was time to explain to Enjin what it means to be an... omega.

    Or: The time for questions and answers had finally come.

    Summary

    Being born, as Makoto finds out, is agonising.
    The freezing sting of air in fresh lungs, new sensations of cold and heat, fullness and emptiness, acid burns and grazes.
    If The World gave you a second chance. You would surely be a Fool to play the script out the same way.

    She will wrench the cruel future away from her friends, her family, with her bare hands if she must.
