Summary
For so many years Michelle had never been able to wrap her head around the way Peter grew so accustomed to swinging from such great heights, hurtling through the air at speeds that would make one of Tony Stark’s fancy sports cars weep.
Michelle hadn’t understood it either, on any of the many occasions Peter had taken her for a swing, had tried to introduce her to this thing that made him feel free, this thing that felt like home.
But now she spends a third of her nights sitting out here with him, high above the rest of the world and she understands better that when you grow up falling from the sky, standing on a ledge is something like nostalgia.
Anyone living in this here and now, the world at the end of itself, Michelle thinks they all understand a little bit better these days, what it’s like to become who you are while falling from the sky.

Summary
They say that Humans cling to life like mold clings to bread. They say that even when the visible contamination is cut away, the mycelium remains. They say that after the Essempi Federation is no more, nothing will be left but wreckage and Humans.
Excerpt:
Humans have fairy-blood, they say. They eat poisons for fun and know when you lie just by looking at you. When you shake their hands they can see how you die.Centuries ago Humans called especially adept liars silver-tongued and now, a billion light years from Earth, Ted hears a Shulker call him fey-mouthed. Fey-mouths can’t tell a lie, the Shulker says in hushed tones to her companions, but will twist you up in the truth until you can’t tell up from down and leave with a fulfilled bargain you would never agree to in a thousand years.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.
