    Summary

    Haymitch meets Effie's teary eyes and knows she is hoping for his name. He might be offended if the alternative wasn't Peeta returning to the arena. Even with the planned rescue, the risks are too high.

    Effie's hand hesitates between the two slips of paper. She almost takes one, then grabs the other and unfolds it. Her voice cracks as she says, "The male tribute from District Twelve is Peeta Mellark."

    And Haymitch breathes relief because for once, the odds are in his favor. He steps forward before Peeta can move. "I volunteer."

    Summary

    "Volo," said Tav.

    "Would taste like blackstaff wine," Astarion said. "Boisterous, bright, and unbalanced."

    "I like that," said Tav. She was sprawled on cushions, sorting through their supplies for dinner. "Different from the namesake, but it works. Your turn."

    "The hag," Astarion suggested.

    "Oh gods," said Tav. "That's an interesting one. Something that starts lovely, but with an awful surprise. Elverquisst, but there's a rotting fish at the bottom of the bottle."

    ----

    A troupe-master bard is plucked up by the Nautiloid. She transitions from directing plays to directing an adventuring party and becomes immediate chaos-gremlin-besties with the rogue. This has a number of almost disastrous consequences and involves far more talking about feelings than any vampire should reasonably be expected to do.

    A story about a bunch of traumatized people becoming better, because that can happen when you find yourself in a new place and suddenly have a support network.

    Astarion lies like breathing—which is to say, if he ever forgets to, that’ll be the end of him.

    Or: in which Astarion needs to learn when to shut up, Wyll’s life is falling apart, and Karlach is just happy to be here.

    Summary

    Two years post-peaceful revolution, human and android relationships have stabilized fairly well, and androids have been fully integrated into human society as US citizens--other countries are working on something similar. Still in Detroit, though, are the Andersons--a father, Hank, and his adopted android son, Connor, along with their dog, Sumo. Connor's been navigating deviancy fairly well, all things considered, but Hank knows that Connor needs better accessibility to his own people; peers that would understand him better--but Hank also knows that Connor doesn't want to let go of his father after only officially having him for just over a year.

    In the afternoon of a fairly inconspicuous August day, Hank gets a call from none other than Elijah Kamski.
