Summary

In the quiet, rural, removed town of Lathansville, people don’t leave. They don’t move away, they won’t move away- they can’t move away, because nobody ever moves away from Lathansville.
The people of Lathansville are perfectly happy with things being forever the same.
And then, something begins to hunt them.
***

And then, something begins to hunt them.

Summary
Wirt and Greg, two lost boys, find a dragon's egg and a whole lot of trouble.
*
Wirt tuned his brother (half-brother) out as the little boy rambled on. The Beast was burning houses again. Houses with people inside. He hadn't done that since he'd gone too close to Pottsfield six months and earned the wrath of the Harvest King. But now the days were shortening to winter, and the sun was growing colder and farther away, and soon it would start to snow. And winter was the Beast's domain.
Wirt missed Boston, with its fledgling Aerial Corps and its Massachuset dragons and its aviators (especially--well, no, no point thinking about her) with a passion. In the Unknown, dragons seemed less like ordinary citizens of these United States and more like unstoppable forces of nature. He and Greg would never stand a chance.

Summary
Growing up, there were many things Derek’s mother taught him to be aware of.
“The Preserve is a glorified farm, cub, so you have to be careful,” she would say, holding him close to her chest, murmuring the words into his ear on warm summer nights. He would nod gravely and snuggle close, listening with rapt attention to the wisdom she imparted in hushed tones on those quiet evenings, when they were surrounded by family, when they were safe. She was speaking to the entire pack, but he was the one curled in her lap, he was the one who could feel her breath ghosting across his forehead.
He still can, sometimes.

Summary
Newton Geiszler is currently being possessed by a genocidal alien race known as the Precursors. They’ve taken over his body, leaving him a prisoner in his own mind. However, Newt has a totally awesome plan. He’s going to make a deal with them: let him prove that Earth is worth saving, and if he can’t do that, they can have his body. But convincing a hivemind full of mega-colonizers that one blue planet can be wonderful isn’t going to be easy. He’s going to need the help of his kind-of-ex Hermann, his best friend Vanessa, and one awesome Footloose remake to pull this off.
So, naturally, they go on a road trip.

Summary
In 1891, Tony Stark meddles with both the romantic and industrial fortunes of those in his acquaintance as often as possible; he tinkers with fates as well as machines and formulae.
He considers it a form of generosity and atonement for first being so criminally and miserably over-privileged, and second, his past mistakes.
When the match he'd been brokering between the nephew of his head of household staff and the recently deceased son of Norman Osborn, a business associate, ends up impossible... Tony steps in. After all, the small upstate town in this great state of New York finds it unseemly that an unattached male teach schoolchildren, lest either be an unwelcome distraction to the other.
And Peter Parker had already taken the post, you see, and given up his lodgings in the city. To lose his job at this late juncture would likely financially devastate the young man before he'd even really begun.
There is really nothing else to be done but for Tony to marry the young schoolmaster himself.

Summary
Minho has never believed in monsters. Even as a child, he was never afraid of them, trusting to his parents to keep him safe from anything that might have lurked under his bed.
But now, there's something in the woods to the north of town, howling like the wind and like a wolf, and Minho starts to think that maybe he was wrong. That monsters are real after all, and that they walk as men with deep, dark eyes and voices as soft as snowfall.
But the monster he knows isn't the only one of its kind out there; and as something else comes ever closer to the town, leaving bloodstains in the snow, Minho starts to fear not only for himself, but for the monster who waits for him beneath the shadows of the trees.

A prodigal daughter.
A dead best friend.
A redheaded widow.
And secrets on top of secrets.
