    Summary

    "His new ‘I don’t care about Superman’ thing is just weird. I mean, it’s,” Clark gestures wildly to the newspaper, the ugly headline still staring up at them, “Lex Luthor. He’s an obsessive. If he’s not fixated on me, he’s got to be fixated on something else. Something not good. Something—why are you looking at me like that?”

    Kara shrugs. “Sounds like your pet psychopath has moved on, and you’re just jealous.”

    “Kara,” Clark sighs, but doesn’t protest further.

    Superman knows that whatever Lex’s new obsession is, it can’t be good. As he soon discovers, that new obsession is Clark Kent.

    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

    Would he die? Was he in fact dying right at this moment? And Jack not there?

    Jack forcibly steadied himself. He thought of Stephen's heart beating beneath his hand. Rapid, straining, like a—

    —like a trapped bird. He looked up. At once he saw, tangled in a line, a pale and blotched little bundle, feebly thrashing.

    Summary

    In the heart of the enemy’s country, Jack is guest of honour at an elegant night in the grand home of Adhémar de La Mothe. La Mothe is a strange and marvelous host, and he certainly seems very fond of Stephen...

    Could it all just be cover for one of Stephen’s secret missions? Or is there some deeper truth to be revealed?

    Summary

    She respects Kazuma, of course. His legal knowledge is expansive, and his application of that knowledge is unmatched. He’s a master of the blade, a dedicated student, and the best brother she could have asked for. Without him, Susato may have never found her interest in the law, let alone have that interest be so thoroughly entertained. Her respect for Kazuma is as boundless as the great sea before them, and she owes him so much.

    It’s just that beneath all of that, Asogi Kazuma is a lovesick twenty-something with a penchant for the melodramatic, and that makes him deeply, deeply annoying.
