    Summary

    “How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.

    “Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”

    Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”

    “No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”

    “So…what?” asks Izutsumi.

    “Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”

    “You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”

    Laios smiles.

    Summary

    “This is old magic,” said Lysithea. “Archaic. It’s like the kind of thing you read in school about our barbaric forebears doing before Seiros showed everyone how to heal. There’s no reason in it. I’m amazed they could even work it, it’s nothing like their city.”

    Edelgard nodded. She recalled Hubert’s final report on Shambhala—the City Without Light, where the streets glowed blue; an impossible civilization, centuries more advanced than anything on the surface. Now returned to dust.

    “The only thing to do,” Lysithea said, matter-of-factly, “is cut it out of you.”

    To save Edelgard's life, Lysithea will learn all her secrets—even the ones Edelgard doesn't know she's keeping.

    Summary

    "Don't hang up. It's about Ino."

    Nothing less than the purest of loves could reel him back to the hell that had raised him. Sakura plays her cards well, when she wants to.

    That it all goes desperately wrong from there is... about what he'd expected.

    Shikamaru doesn't want to save the world. Maybe, just maybe though, he can save the girl.

    (Don't dare me to write a love story.)

    Summary

    With the war over and Sasuke home again, Sakura is more hopeful for Team 7's future than she has been in a long time. She's quickly disappointed to find that nothing in the Village fits quite like it used to—not her old bedroom, not her clothes, and definitely not Team 7. Join Sakura as she scrambles to understand her place in this new team dynamic.

    If she has a place there at all.

    -OR-

    It takes three dorks a painfully long time after moving in together to realize that they all belong together.

    Summary

    After facing Cinder Fall at Beacon's CCT Tower, Glynda is personally assigned to hunt her down. Embarking into the unknown, tracking Remnant's most notorious criminal, Glynda's only lead is the twisted trail of ash and rot left in Cinder's wake. The further away from Beacon's guiding light the hunt strays, the more the danger escalates—but so do the questions.

    Cinder Fall knows something. Something about Glynda. And her schemes involve far more than Dust trafficking; something much bigger is at stake, and in following the smoke trail to its end, Glynda may well find herself on a pyre.

    Summary

    She had said before, ‘so many people mix up love and possession,’ and now years later she wondered if that was the reason why they had been given so much time. That maybe Viola thought this was love. That maybe she loved this. Loved her. Loved them.

    Summary

    “You don’t understand, Dia. This town is dying.” Kanan spoke solemnly, each and every syllable its own eulogy. “No Kurosawa can save it, and you shouldn’t bother trying. Might as well put it out of its misery instead of wasting your time on it.”

    --

    Dia returns home, and Kanan bares her soul.

    Summary

    “Or,” says Sakura, “if you don’t have any questions – then I might as well go back to the hospital. I might as well just—”

    Karin folds her arms on her knees and leans in. “There are other things we could talk about,” she says. Her voice is lower than usual. It’s huskier than usual, too; and she’s studying Sakura intently, with an expression that’s more than a little difficult to read: intense, very focused, blushing darker by the moment.

    (For better or worse, not everyone is as oblivious as Sasuke.)
