    Summary

    “The first three were all former foster parents of Andrew.” Piggins continued, unable to take a hint from the frosty office he’d admitted these things too.
    “No.” Aaron panicked, staring at Andrew in disbelief. “Andrew has never been…!”
    Wymack shifted his weight on the filing cabinet, reaching down to grab his trash can and passing it across Andrew in time for Aaron to grab it and spew a cascade of vile liquid into it, while Andrew pushed his chair onto its back legs and avoided all eye contact with those in the cramped office.
    Andrew knew who did this.
    The only person who had ever willingly gone to bat for him. A person he had mistakenly believed to be dead long ago; this was proof to the contrary. Except… Except that there was one name missing.

    Thank you for the amazing idea!

    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

    Harrowhark, who Gideon had always assumed had despised her for her loud, unapologetically weird gender stuff, and who was now a fucking girl, the hypocritical little shit.

    ---

    Gideon's finally got her life on track. She's transitioned, she has people she can rely on, and she's gotten into University. And then an awful, terrible, no good hate-goblin from her past reappears and throws her through a loop by also having transitioned.

    Harrow has her work, her life's purpose, and no time for distractions. She also has her secrets, and no intention to share them with anyone. And then the execrable Gideon Nav blunders back into her life and threatens calamity.

    Summary

    “His neighbor's apartment felt so far away as if it was all the way across the universe and Neil fought the temptation to rip the sign down before his neighbor even had a chance to respond. He pushed down his bubbling anxiety and ignored Matt's messy scrawl.

    What is the orange cat called?”

    OR

    5 times Neil saw his neighbor's cat in the window & the 1 time he met it.
