    Summary

    The whispers of his name grow into chants. Muad’Dib. Muad'Dib. Muad'Dib. She could kill a thousand men, and still the first one after would utter his name. It is pointless to run from it, to hide from it. She knows this. She does not bother with lying to herself about a truth as fundamental as this. She cannot escape him.

    But for a time, life is simple.

    And then it is not.

    Or — Chani, in the aftermath.

    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Summary

    “You’re a selkie,” he breathes, taking a step forward, but halting when she takes a hasty step back, ready to bolt. Her eyes scan the ocean, but sees only the rolling slate blue waves. No one can help her, she is alone.

    “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.” His voice is gentle, but he doesn’t relinquish her skin, and Alina whimpers, anguished. Now that he has caught her, he will take her away from her beloved home; he will hide her skin and marry her. She will never swim freely in the sea again, never see her friends again. The pit of despair yawns wider in her stomach, greedily swallowing every drop of hope it encounters.
