    Summary

    “Who are you?” The man carrying the newspaper asked her, scrunching up his brow. He looked her up and down, completely befuddled. One by one, the other man, the doctor, and the stormy woman turned to look at her. They wore almost identical expressions of confusion. Rey blinked, speechlessly. The appropriate answer was "a waitress", or "a stranger," or even "a crazy, perpetually single woman who’s been hopelessly, inexplicably in love with your comatose son for weeks."

    Behind her, the nurse huffed, cocking her hip. As if it was obvious, she said, “She’s his fiancée.”

    Summary

    Ben takes a deep breath. “It’s—it’s a project. Conceptual art. You wouldn’t get it.”

    Rey presses her lips together to keep from laughing. She plans her next words quickly and carefully, determining what will get her the best reaction. “Really? Looks like you ruined a bedsheet to me.”

    His reaction does not disappoint. “Get out.”

    **

    Summary

    Prythian was amid a time of peace; a feat that its inhabitants had fought for and defended for decades and centuries. The Inner Circle, ever-growing with new additions, maintained a steady rule over their territory and trained their heirs to cultivate and nurture everything that they had once sacrificed for.

    As an Heiress to the High Lord and Lady's throne, Valeria would go to the ends of their World and any others in existence for her Court and her people, no matter the cost. Had grown into her power and strength and cunning to do just that.

    But there was an evil inside of her; a beast clawing at the cages she so dutifully enforced to keep it secured. And as that beast of night and shadow raged through the darkest depths of her begging for release, fear of the danger she posed and the weight of a crown not yet donned threatened to bring her to her knees.

    However, Valeria bowed to nobody. And once the gates of Realms were open and her family and continent were faced with an impossible war alongside allies from Worlds she had not known to exist, the choice to yield herself to the creature within proved to be as heavy as any throne. Whether it would be their salvation or ruin, she had yet to decide.

    Summary

    Tony leafs through the deluge of letters with growing annoyance, names like Venus Corp, Crux, and Spriteware popping out at him as he tosses them aside. “Care to explain, Parker?” He snaps, and Peter smiles at him sheepishly.

    “They’re ... recruitment letters?”

    The nerve.

    Or: Tony may or may not use a whole damn press conference just to show any other backwoods science industry where Peter Parker belongs.
