Summary
Her chest heaves. “Stop!” Katara’s voice pitches to a shriek. “It’s not—”
—real.
Zuko’s teeth dig into his bottom lip, warm copper bursting into the far corners of his mouth. “Why?”
(Or: Katara, Aang, Zuko. A tale of love, loss, and love again.)

Summary
“Clerics have—not power over life and death,” Lucy says, “but a special hand in it.” Her gaze drops to her palms, tracing a lengthy life line that was once and could again be a lie. “How do we know when to exercise that guidance?”
She can feel Yolanda’s eyes on her, sympathetic and sorrowful, but she dares not look up.
“We don’t.” Yolanda’s voice is soft. “But I believe it is not always a cleric’s responsibility to know. It is simply our responsibility to try.”
(Or: Forgiveness is about the journey, not the destination. And in the aftermath of Kipperlilly’s death, Lucy Frostblade reaches for the divine.)

Summary
Lucy cannot explain what drew her over to these five, what made this halfling girl stand out in the cafeteria like a perfect snowflake amongst sleet, but she trusts it was divine intervention.
Kipperlilly extends her hand to Lucy. “Welcome to the High 5 Heroes, Lucy.”
“High 5 Heroes.” Lucy shakes Kipperlilly’s hand. “I like that name.”
For a reason she can’t explain, part of Lucy doesn’t want to let go.
(Or: Lucy Frostblade and Kipperlilly Copperkettle. Two lives that twine through time.)

Summary
With Spider-Man’s eyes on her, MJ takes one of Flash’s hands in her own, giving it a brief—gentle—squeeze before she lets go.
Letting go.
Feels like she’s been doing a lot of that these past few months.
She just doesn’t remember what—who—she was ever hanging on for.

Summary
Esther doesn’t realize the devastated wail that ricochets through the stormbound extradimensional space is coming from her until Kingston’s warm arms link beneath hers as her knees buckle.
“No,” she sobs. “No, Ricky!”
(Or: During the fight with the American Dream, Ricky dies. Esther watches.)

Summary
Claire shook her head, lacing their fingers together. “How about we lay down some ground rules?”
Jack chuckled. “Rules, huh?”
“Yes.” A smirk twitched at her lips. “If you come within six inches of my personal space in the office, I have permission to taze you.”
(Or: 7 times people found out about Jack and Claire’s relationship + 1 time people were told.)
-

Summary
Wincing at the stiffness of her shoulders and the thunder that continued to boom against the inside of her skull, Claire reached over to retrieve the folded paper.
It was a note, she realized upon closer inspection, a note scribbled in very familiar cursive. Its message was concise: You’ll need these.
Right.
Jack.
(Or: Claire wakes up after a wild night out. Jack is there, too.)

Summary
Of course, Jack’s age hadn’t stopped a few beautiful young women—and one handsome young man—from approaching him with a wink and a casual hand trailing across his chest. One girl had curly dark hair and was even wearing a short red dress.
But none of them were Claire, and therein lay the problem.
(Or: Jack tries to find Claire on her night out. Easier said than done.)

Katara hates the quiet.
That’s why she talks to him.

Summary
Claire hums in agreement, undoing another two of Margot’s buttons. “Even I could kiss you better than—better than what’s-his-face, I bet.”
It isn’t until Margot’s back stiffens beneath her touch that Claire realizes what sequence of words has left her mouth.

Summary
“Sounds lovely,” Jack said. He started commenting about the color, some stupid, quippy remark, no doubt, but Claire was only half-listening as she stood to slowly unzip her pencil skirt.
Based on the way Jack cut himself off with an awkward cough halfway through his sentence, Claire had a feeling her phone had picked up the sound just fine.
(Or: Claire gets ready for a night out. Jack listens in.)

Summary
She watched in silence how his toned back, his firm shoulders rose and fell with each slow breath he took, the consequential snores causing her to bite her tongue to hold back a laugh. If only the court could see him now—the fearless, fiery Jack McCoy sleeping on his stomach with one hand under his pillow and snoring like a disgruntled cat.
Maybe it was selfish, maybe it was childish, but Claire reveled in the fact that this sight was one reserved solely for her.
(Or: It’s 3 AM, and Claire Kincaid finds herself thinking about Jack McCoy.)

Summary
Flash sighed, burying his face in his hands. “So now what?” he mumbled into his palms. “What do I have to do to get rid of you?”
Why would you want to do that? I am delightful company.
“Why? How about because I have a life! A girlfriend! I’m graduating in less than two months! This is the worst possible time shit could happen to me!”
(An MJ/Flash romcom meets a Venom!Flash dramedy. Attraction, antics, and attempted murder abound.)

Summary
And if Ty Lee notices the way Katara’s breath hitches, she refrains from commenting. Instead, she merely moves a little closer to Katara as they exit the courtyard, arm in arm, leaving Katara to wonder how much closer time will allow them to get.
(Ty Lee is Katara’s bodyguard. But it’s just a temporary assignment, meaning there’s no risk of any unintended consequences. Right?)

Summary
“Is it distrust of me,” Aang says, “or distrust of the Avatar?”
A bitter laugh escapes Zuko’s lips before he can stop it.

Summary
Jack raised an eyebrow. “Claire, Adam wants us to be in the office at 7 tomorrow.”
Claire bit back another sigh. “I’m well aware, Jack, but like you said—my car isn’t going anywhere right now. Not without a tow truck.”
“Then let me take you home.”
Claire stiffened, her traitorous heart skipping a beat at his suggestion. “I’m sorry?”

Summary
MJ pulls at the red ribbon of the gift box with melodramatic slowness, flipping Ned off with her other hand when he tells her to hurry it up, for Christ’s sake. “Please, Ned. I am trying to savor the moment. You should be flattered.”
Ned grumbles something under his breath in Tagalog, not that MJ needs to understand the words to understand what is being said because he’s Ned and she’s MJ and it’s always been just them, the two of them, eight years going on eighteen.
(A love letter to MJ Watson.)

Summary
“Miss Jones-Watson, you’re partnered with Mr. Thompson.”
Flash’s eyes found hers from across the classroom, and MJ gave him a curt nod to acknowledge their pairing. When his upper lip curled in distaste, she fought the urge to roll her eyes.
MJ was not looking forward to this.

Summary
MJ couldn’t do this.
“Sorry about… today,” Ned said, awkwardly shifting his weight from one foot to the other. “I know it didn’t go how you planned.”
Oh, now there was the understatement of the century. MJ had crumbled beneath the pressure, shattering the way a glass goblet met a brick floor. She should have known better.
MJ couldn’t do this.
Why had Liz believed she could do this?

Summary
“So… Who is that guy?” Allison asked as she watched the man vigorously wipe his hands with what she assumed was some kind of disinfecting towelette.
Lee noticed where her stare was directed and chuckled. “That, Allison, is Adrian Monk.”
(“Did you have a dream?” meets “Here’s what happened.” Allison Dubois and Adrian Monk team up to investigate the hit-and-run murder of a young violinist. Can they crack the case, or will the ghosts of the past cloud their judgement?)
