    Summary

    “Uh, hello,” Ilya says when the cat rises up on its legs and stretches, back bending and paws curling down. Its ears flick and it gives him a dour sort of mwor in return. Witches have familiars, Ilya knows that. And this is a perfect spot for a familiar to be, on the stoop of the witch's house. Logic follows that the cat must be the witch's familiar.

    So he says, very politely, “Shane is expecting us,” even though he has no idea if that’s true or not.

    The cat yawns, tiny sharp teeth flashing at Ilya. Its ears flick again and then it curls up into a ball of fur, right there on the brick wall despite the fact that they’re hurtling towards the end of November and it’s fucking freezing outside.

    “Is that good or bad, do you think,” Ilya asks Seryozha in Russian, gesturing at the cat when the familiar doesn’t move again except to curl its tail over the tip of its pink nose.

    Seryozha’s phone screen flashes white in the darkness. That is a cat, he types, and Ilya scowls. It’s a fucking magical cat.

    Shane glares at him again. “I can think up a few hockey metaphors, if that’ll help you understand, Rozanov.”

    “Please,” Ilya says pleasantly. “It’s Captain.”

    “I DON’T WANT TO DRINK THIS PLEASE SHANYA THANK YOU BUT NO,” Seryozha’s phone says loudly. It startles Ilya, though he’d never admit it. He hadn’t forgotten about Seryozha.

    It’s just that goddamn allure.

    Summary

    Keith is a witch who owns a shop where he breaks curses on both magical items and people under spells. Love spells, family curses passed down generations, cursed heirlooms lurking the attic -- he can handle them all. But one day a boy named Lance walks into his shop, and his curse is darker and more difficult to break than anything Keith has ever seen before: the curse is draining his magic, and without his magic, Lance will die.

    “I’m good, Sunshine,” Lance says, stretching a little. “In fact, I kind of feel lucky right now.”

    Haggar takes a step back, her face twisted in a scowl, her hands lowered again in her confusion. “How did you manage--”

    “True love or some shit, I think,” Lance says cheerfully, and waves his hand.

    Summary

    When you’re going up in flames, sometimes other people can smell the smoke. On the flip side, at least: when you’re on fire, sometimes other people can feel the warmth.

    Or, scenes from Home Economics, told from the perspective of everyone else.
