    Summary

    In the end, Gimli thinks, Legolas will steal his heart and sail away with it, and even the wonders of the Glittering Caves are not enough consolation for that loss. But when Aragorn calls for Gimli’s help in dismantling the hidden traps of Orthanc, everything changes.

    Summary

    Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.

    She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.

    She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.

    She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-

    She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.

    In the aftermath, these are the things Mithrun is told most often: that he’s been rescued, that he is no longer Lord. That dungeons are in his past. The date, the year. What he’ll be eating today.

    He is being cared for. He’s safe.

    Summary

    There was… yeah. There was something on the ceiling in the attic. Something big and moving.

    Sonic couldn’t make out what it was. The attic was dark and there was a glare across the window pane. He twisted his head. Took a few steps to the side. The glare resolved somewhat as the tree in the front yard blocked out the light. His view was clearer, but whatever it was stayed in the shadows. It was way too big to be a raccoon or possum. And it was definitely crawling along the ceiling. He watched it pause and rock in place slightly before it scuttled forward and started to rock again.

    “Sonic?” He tore his gaze away from The Thing to his Mom. “You gonna help carry groceries?”

    A slow grin spread across Sonic’s face. “I see dead people!”

    Summary

    Zagreus always made stepping from the Styx look painless and elegant, what with the way he shook its blood-red waters from his hair as he strolled through an unending rain of snow-white flower petals.
    Hypnos figured that practice must have made perfect as he clumsily clawed his way from its depths, weighed down by both his own Styx soaked cloak and a general inability to get his trembling legs to hold his weight.

    OR

    In the Iilad, Hera has Hypnos put Zeus to sleep so she can go cause havoc. In the original myth, Hypnos escaped Zeus's wrath by fleeing to his mother, Nyx, for saftey. Zeus immediately backed down, unwilling to fight against the night.

    In Hades, Hypnos wouldn't have that option.

    It's excruciating to want something you can't have. But Kabru desperately, desperately wants to be liked by a man who doesn't particularly seem to need or want anyone.

    Friendship is a kind of falling in love, only harder, because no one knows how to do it.

    Mikaela, Sideswipe, car washing, and open track racing. Roughly in that order. Post-ROTFish, not related to any other story arc.

    "Am I parsing your notoriously inaccurate human language well enough to hear you suggesting we do something illegal?" Oh, he wasn't going to fool her with that tone. Not after the legendary Porsche incident. She'd BEEN there when he'd gotten dressed down for that, and he hadn't looked repentent at ALL, even while Prime had been saying things like "what were you thinking" and "reckless endangerment" and the dreaded "very disappointed".

    Summary

    In a city like Gotham, it's not uncommon for brutality to wear a badge - and Batman, sworn to defend the most vulnerable, has had to take down more than one corrupt cop in his day. But he's never seen anything like this before. A single police car has gone rogue, battling it out with some of Gotham's most ruthless criminal operations... and winning.

    Has one of Gotham's cops turned vigilante? Or is this a clever imposter, more interested in rising to the top of Gotham's underworld than in cleaning it up? Or could what's going on here be more than meets the eye?

    Batman sets out to track down this mysterious newcomer and find out what they really want... but while he stalks his quarry, a galaxy-spanning civil war is on a collision course with Gotham.

    Summary

    Jazz has a few problems. Problem one, the Autobots are being poisoned. Two, figuring out who’s behind it and stopping them is proving harder than anyone expected. Three, he’s found a fix for both of those but it depends on Soundwave, the most loyal Decepticon in the whole army, helping him.

    And if there isn’t a good reason for Soundwave to cooperate with him? Well, Jazz will just have to make one.

    “An easy course and following winds,” Jazz says to the two aliens first, because the possibility of imminent violence is no excuse to violate social niceties with these guys. And then just for Soundwave, he says in English, “You know these guys are planning to screw you over, right?”

    He steps lightly into the room, moving so casually you’d never know it puts him in point blank shooting distance of a sworn enemy.

    “Hold your fire for just a sec,” he continues, baiting the hook, “and I’ll prove it.”
