Summary
After Homelander's fall, Stan Edgar pulls Soldier Boy out of the freezer for a Vought redemption campaign. His biggest obstacle? You: cynical, pill-popping podcaster with a mouth like a switchblade.
You thinks he’s a misogynistic dinosaur who needs to go back to the ice. He thinks you’re a bratty, unstable bitch who talks too much. You hate each other on sight, but in a corporate world of lies, an explosive hatred might be the only real thing left.

Summary
For two years, you and Duncan orbit each other inside the same circle of friends, each mistaking the other’s awkwardness for disinterest. Then, one reckless night changes the terms entirely. A story about bad timing, good longing, and leaving the hardest thing until last.

He starts forward. You put both hands to his chest and stop him, smiling like this is all very funny. “I can manage,” you say. “It’s not far. And I feel a bit better.”“No, you’re not walkin’ alone.”
“Yes I am,” you say. “Stop this.”
You are standing right in his way. Duncan breathes out hard through his nose. “Don’t push me, girl,” he mutters, and bends. Then, his arms go round the backs of your thighs and he swings you over his shoulder.
“Duncan!” you yelp. Bat your funny little fists against his back and kick one foot so hard your slipper falls off. “Dunk, my shoe! Bloody hell, put me down!”
“That’s what y’get for bein’ stubborn,” he says, giving the backs of your thighs one firm settling pat as he walks on.
You keep fighting him, but you laugh all the way through it, bent over his shoulder and kicking your remaining slippered foot at the air. “What has got into you?”
“You. Apparently.”

Summary
It begins, like most dangerous things do, with something small and strange and almost sweet: a broken nose, a stolen night, a doggy bag pressed into the hands of a boy who should’ve been nothing more than a memory.
But she keeps him. Not in the way people keep lovers or secrets or sins. No, she keeps him the way you keep a seashell in your back-pocket. Something sharp and improbable, something that hums faintly of the ocean even when you’re miles away from it.
Baz is a tide in her life. He comes in. He pulls back out. Years pass in the space between his visits, but he always returns, drawn by something he doesn’t name, maybe the scraps of kindness she offers without asking for anything in return. Maybe the fact that she never tries to hold him still.
They are not lovers. Not family. But when the world cracks open beneath him, when Cath leaves, she arrives like she always does. Unannounced. She tells herself it’s just a visit, just time to fill, just a borrowed stretch of days while her employers sip wine in Greece and forget she exists.
But Oceanside doesn’t let you stay untouched. Not when the Codys are a current running beneath everything. And not when there’s... Pope.

Summary
Baz thinks Bonnie’s weird for not being scared of Pope.
Bonnie thinks it’s weird that everyone else is.
Sure, he looms. Says objectively insane things. Appears in rooms like a sleep paralysis demon with emotional attachment issues.
But he’s also the only honest person in Oceanside. Which is probably why Bonnie ends up accidentally becoming part of the Cody family.
Bless her heart.

Summary
Everything is glamorized in Las Vegas: money, bodies, violence, love. When your family stops funding your socialite scandals, you do what any heiress who’s lost everything does: take the pole working at a high-end strip club. That’s where you learn what happens After Hours when the city finally whispers its secrets. You capture the attention of Javier Peña, the newly promoted boss of the DEA’s Vegas branch, tasked with taking down criminal powerhouse The Ivory Saints. What follows is a volatile, addictive affair, dancing on the fault line between justice and corruption, desire and self-destruction, lust and power. No one truly knows who is using who.
This story portrays sex work as valid labor and affirms the autonomy, skill, and agency of sex workers. At the same time, it does not ignore the very real dangers, exploitation, stigma, and systemic harm that many people in the industry face (often without protection or support). The glamor shown here is part of the fiction, not a denial of reality.
