Summary
Lighter & Leitner is not the campus bookstore. Tim Stoker is well aware of that, thank you very much. It sits near enough to campus that one might be mistaken, if they had not yet walked onto campus and witnessed the three story Waterstones directly next to the student affairs building, but Tim has been here for two and a half years, now, working desperately on a neverending PhD, and he knows the little hole in the wall bookshop across the street from his favorite coffee shop isn’t where students are supposed to buy their books.
So why Professor Elias Bouchard has sent him there on an errand with a list of course reserves to request they set aside for students in his upper-level Philosophy course, Tim could not even begin to tell you.
or: grad student Tim is Elias' TA, Jon and Gerard run a used bookshop, and everything is about to go very much to hell in a handbasket

Summary
The King's but a memory. His kingdom but a ghost. Each passing day, the seaside ruins of New Pork sink an inch deeper into Nowhere at all. Before Babel becomes Atlantis, the Islands' hardiest rebels n' traitors return to brave the brine. "It's an ecological rescue operation, y'see," Claus explains. A peppermint clatters between his teeth. Totally lackadaisical. "Chimeras outta the harbor, chemicals outta the water. Simple as that." And Lucas hums, softly. As if there ain't nothin' bein' put to rest, on these rusted shores.
All the while, a lonesome fortress teeters over the Earth's very edge. Shunned by fate itself. With gray waves lapping like hellfire at impenetrable walls.
