    Summary

    “You know he gets like that during the holidays,” dad said gently.

    “Like a cunt?” Max looked up.

    “Your words. Not mine,” dad managed a smile.

    “I don’t know why you keep doing it,” Max said after a while.

    “Doing what?”

    “Defending me.”

    “Well. I’m a defense attorney,” dad smiled. “It’s what I do.”

    “Dad-”

    “I know what it feels like to think your whole family is against you,” dad said quietly.

    “Are you all against me?” Max asked in a small voice.

    “We are always on your side, Max,” dad whispered. “But sometimes you make us wonder why.”

    A pinch of morality crisis, a dash of domestic angst, and two tablespoons of love.

    Summary

    When Yoo Jaeyi’s abusive husband absconds—leaving her penniless, pregnant, and disgraced—her family’s only hope lies across the sea. In England, her younger sister Jaena enters the glittering world of the Mayfair Season, determined to secure a match that could restore their name.

    Fortune seems to smile when Jaena captures the heart of Ara Harrington, a well-regarded family member of the esteemed and influential Harrington family. Yet standing in the way of harmony is Ara’s elder sibling, Viscount Seulgi Harrington—Mayfair’s most sought‑after bachelor, a paragon of duty, and, to Jaeyi’s endless irritation, the most infuriating person she has ever met.

    What begins as a clash of pride and principle soon deepens into something far more perilous. Amid gossip, scandal, and the delicate politics of love, Jaeyi and Seulgi must learn that true affection is never born of convenience or gain—
    but of the quiet, inevitable pull between two souls who were never meant to meet and yet cannot stay apart.

    Summary

    Andy’s heart stops. All the blood leaves her face and rushes directly to her ears. The only thing she can hear is the sound of it pumping through her veins. Copley and Nile are both studying the photo closely, but Andy hardly notices them, even right beside her. All she can see is the blood, the look on her face, the tremble in her jaw as she died –
    **
    She is almost four thousand years old – there is quite little that feels older than her in this world, but Discord feels older. She feels ancient compared to Quynh, especially with all of the knowledge she holds that Quynh does not. “You have been withholding it from me, a carrot to keep me here so that you do not have to find a stick. It is hard to punish someone who has lost so much, is it not?”

    --
    For five years, everything goes smoothly. Five years of Booker in exile, five years of Nile on the team, and five years of Andy grappling with her newfound mortality.
    But, like every other plan they've ever had, it has to go to shit at some point, and go to shit it does.
    AKA the sequel we deserved, rather than the one we got.
