    Summary

    “Loid!” Yor says brightly. She still calls him that. He’s asked her to, so nobody gets suspicious. She hasn’t asked for his real name, the one behind Twilight and all the masks. He wonders if Anya’s heard it in his mind. He wonders, uncharitably, if Anya’s given it to Yor already. It seems unlikely. His daughter is very, very good at keeping secrets.

    Then again, so is his wife.

    Summary

    "Why haven't you killed me yet?" His voice was raspy with disuse, but at least he had command of his tongue again.

    "I'm not going to kill you," said the woman. She spoke in a very soft voice, making the usually harsh Eastern dialect sound gentle. "I've been trying to help you, but you do need to stop freaking out every time I do something."

    "You have a knife to my neck," he pointed out. "And you took my gun."

    "Yeah, well…" She paused, yielding slightly to his line of reasoning. "I couldn't let you keep them. Can't be too safe."

    -

    Yor finds a soldier tossed outside a burning plane in a wheat field.

    A soldier is abducted by an Eastern local.

    Summary

    Unstable Universe ended up being a bad dream, a nightmare. To most of Lifesteal, it's a breath of fresh air: a new start and a chance to forget about their awful past.

    Leo, however, can't let go of everyone who hurt and betrayed him. To him, the whole world is against him just like it was in Unstable.

    Summary

    I have taken the central plot device from award-winning short story 'The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere (water falls on you when you lie) and introduced it to the Lifesteal SMP (server where everyone lies at all times).

    It's been a thing for less than a day and JumperWho, deep-cover agent of the Foundation, has already acquired a lot of data about how it works.

    More than anyone else.
