Summary
If asked what was the first work of Trent Crimm's he'd read, Theodore Lasso would have incorrectly answered An Aquarian Guide to Atlantis, IL.
Ted Lasso gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's called to fill in for another director on a miniseries produced by Rebecca Welton. To their mutual surprise, Ted and Rebecca discover they're artistic soulmates, and work together to carve out a place in the film/television industry for themselves: Greyhound Productions.
Just as he's settled into his new life in London, Ted catches wind of a rumor that infamously reclusive novelist Trent Crimm may be auctioning the adaptation rights to one of his books after years of stubborn resistance. Ted (a long-time admirer of Crimm's weird, ergodic stories) cannot abide the thought of someone else directing a film adaptation. But Greyhound Productions doesn't have the money to bid against the big studios.
So, his mission is clear: Ted needs to find Trent Crimm and appeal to him directly.
Shame the man doesn't want to be found.

Summary
"Breathe, Shiori," a man snapped. A familiar voice, it'd been months(?) but she'd never met someone else with such a deep voice... "I said breathe!"
Hot little weights landed on her sternum, prickled down her spine, as hot as cookware through potholders. Two... four... five...
One tipped her chin up, a tap too fast to sear. "Look at me," Hiei said, and Shiori dragged her eyes back open. Bleary colors smeared across her vision, his face wreathed in silvery light and flickering blacklight, his ever-present hachimaki missing, the white replaced by glowing blue and more blacklight, and Shiori

Summary
“You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.
“I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.
“I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”
“Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.
“You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.

Summary
“So,” Jade says, marching on ahead with her list like a determined little artilleripper, tapping at her papers. “The…Dark Carnival.” She sounds it out every part one after the other, ‘fatal-funny cullpit of the messiahs’, like how a corpse dismembered and all laid out turns into pieces instead of a whole troll.
“Dark Carnival,” you say, putting the corpse back together to show her, fast and fluid how it’s supposed to flow.
“Dark Carnival,” Jade repeats after you, choking just a little on the shift of chirr into click. “Okay! Say me what does that mean?”
