Summary
After a lifetime of servitude, J is finally free from the Solver’s influence. (No thanks to her, of course.) Now, without orders to hide behind, she’s forced to confront the horrors of the past, and they’re pushing her towards an edge that she might never be able to return from.
Would the struggle even be worth it? She’s got no hope of living a normal life–that’d been stolen from her long ago. Nothing would ever fill the void left behind. She’d carved that void by hand.
But floating in stasis, hidden in the furthest reaches of the night sky, something might change that.

Summary
The jarls have come from across the vast northern world — from Garðaríki, Dyflin, Normandy, Jórvík. Gold glinting at their wrists, old blood crusted in their long beards; each warrior is carved from ice, war, and iron. They come not for tribute, nor for feasting, but for judgment.
Summoned by the death of a nightmare and the crowning of a child still wet behind the ears. Atop the high seat — carved of wolfbone, blackwood, and the scorched antler of a moose that once gored three berserkers — sits the last living son of Ivar the Boneless.
Pétur.
The piglet, a runt if that.
(Or, even as a Viking, Maverick is a troublesome little shit with all the self-worth of a tankard of mead).

I am angry at the world, creating collections of words fuelled by fury is all I know,

Summary
Cooking class was a mistake. Fizz is sure of it when he pulls up to the quiet Gluttony neighborhood the teacher he hired lives in. He had to lie to Ozzie about where he’s going, ordered a cab to bring him here to avoid the paparazzi following his limo, and spent the entire trip regretting paying in advance. One lesson. He’ll force himself to stay for one lesson, and then he’ll tell her it was a big mistake and pretend like it never happened.
She’s waiting for him on her porch as Fizz leaves the cab, the imp’s tail curling around his legs as he walks up to her.
“Mister Fizzarolli, I presume. Come in, we’ve got some work to do.”
Fizz sets fire to her kitchen twice.
or Fizz wants to pay Ozzie back for all the meals the sin's made for him. He just has to learn how first.

Summary
Bill watched as his pet scientist lay gloriously beached on the couch in his living room, two boxes deep into a takeout pizza binge. His black tie was loosened around the collar of a white button-up shirt that already hadn't fit before the pizzas arrived but was now only barely held closed by several buttons that looked like they were about to give up the fight. His belt and pants didn't look any less strained. Bill watched the fat squeeze out through the holes between shirt buttons and felt something twinge deep inside him; Ford didn't even know he was watching - tonight's gluttony was completely of his own choosing.
