    Summary

    When death, in the form of hunters, comes for a family of Kelpies seeking refuge in the Preserve - in Hale territory - the Hale Pack is too late to save them. Before he dies, the male Kelpie presses a precious bundle into Stiles’ arms and begs the Emissary to take responsibility for it, which an initially reluctant Stiles does. When he agreed, Stiles had no idea what the sight of him with a baby would do to his esteemed Alpha, Derek. If he’d known, he might not have been so reluctant to agree.

    Summary

    Erica’s goal in life was to be hired by Neckz’n’Throats. Not as a model, though she knew she was hot enough for that. No, she wanted to be behind the camera. And to do that, she needed two things. A glowing recommendation, and a portfolio that would grab their attention; that would make them take her seriously. For that, she needed the right models. Thankfully, she knew just who to ask.

    Summary

    Zuko remembered the wind rushing between his fingers. No. That was impossible. He couldn't airbend—he was a firebender! Perhaps, perhaps—he had only heated the air, so that it just seemed like he had airbent.

    But Zuko couldn't deny that feeling that had surfaced then...one of weightlessness...and of freedom.

    He was an airbender.

    But he was also a firebender.

    So that meant... he was the Avat—

    No. The Avatar was alive, an old man now, hidden within the walls of Ba Sing Se, the city's protector.

    Unless he died, a voice hissed, like a dragon luring him to its den. Unless Avatar Huan died long ago.

     

    Deep within the Southern Air Temple, Zuko unearths a long-buried secret: he can airbend. He is now at a crossroads. He can turn himself in to his father, securing victory for the Fire Nation—or face his destiny as the Avatar. But how can he learn all four elements when the Air Nomads are extinct?

    Summary

    Being a college student is hard, especially when you have a more obscure major (if only because the price of your textbooks seem to be geared to how many times you can break down and sob hopelessly while in the campus bookstore).

    So when Stiles is given the chance to make some quick money, well... he'd be an idiot not to take it, right?

    All he has to do is stand there and look pretty and let the photographer do his job.

    ...oh, God. Stiles has made a Horrible Life Decision.

    Summary

    Peter watches as the boys and girls run to their friends and take seats. Every little group is talking happily about the summer and what they did as they take their seats. The tables are arranged so a group of five can sit together. Peter looks around the classroom finding an empty seat at the back. With a sigh Peter heads towards the empty table gripping his backpack.

    Suddenly there is a hand gripping the hem of his shirt. Peter is ready to yank himself free when a voice stops him.

    “Do you know anyone?” A tiny voice asks behind him sounding all nervous and scared.
