Summary
When Shalla-Bal returns, not as Galactus’ herald but as something freer, they meet again in the silence between forgiveness and longing. Suspended above a healing world, two beings shaped by fire and starlight hover just out of reach— learning to speak, to trust, and to wonder if the space between them might one day close.

Summary
Grace Chasity has come up with the perfect plan to get Max out of sight and out of mind... only it goes the exact opposite of what she plans. After a failed attempt at making him get so scared that he pisses himself, Max Jägerman has joined Grace's new friend group. It's torture for her. But because of how witty she is, Grace comes up with another plan, this time one to make Max hate her and by association have all of the impure thoughts she normally has for him to disappear, and it works for a little while. That is until Stephanie Lauter asks Grace for the biggest favor of her life: date Max Jägerman.
Max Jägerman is liking his new friend group. Sure he can't pound nerds in the hallways anymore, but he sure can be friends with them. One day, Max overhears a conversation between Grace and Steph where Grace confesses his hatred for him, and how she wishes that he would hate her as well. Prepared to do anything for her, Max fakes his hatred for Grace. Their frienimues relationship goes over well until Pete asks Max something he would've never thought would come out of Pete's mouth: date Grace Chasity.
Or
Grace and max fake date and then maybe fall in love..you'll have to see.

Summary
Shalla-Bal has never been too slow. Never too weak. Never without the answer.
Not since she became the Herald. Ultimate knowledge and control means constant calculations—decisions made in split seconds, without hesitation.
So when Johnny Storm hurls himself toward death—sacrificing everything to keep Galactus from returning—she does what she always does. She calculates. She makes the call. She knows exactly how much time she has. How fast she needs to go. Fast enough to buy herself a window, to turn around and dive back through the portal.
Until she isn’t.
Until the calculations are wrong.
And it costs her nearly everything.
