    Summary

    Dear Stephen King, please forgive my transgressions for not setting this in Maine.

    Billy Stebbins never left the small town he grew up in. He works at the garage his father owns, lives with his mom, step-father and two brothers, and has never really thought about life outside his town.

    When his best friend Ray Garraty's cousin Richard Harkness comes to visit for winter break, Billy and Richard begin to slowly realize they might like each other as more than just acquaintances that see each other once a year for two weeks.

    Summary

    Booker meets Nile while she is still mortal. It changes things.

    Alternately:

    [“Dude, you gotta help me out here,” she said again, “are you…en vie?”

    The question made him laugh, which was a terrible idea. He breathed through the sudden roil of nausea and finally looked at the very determined Good Samaritan who had resolved not to leave him in peace.

    “I am not dead,” Booker informed her gravely, “not yet.”]

    Summary

    Nile is new to Montreal for grad school, but she's fairly hopeless setting up her own wards. She needs help. And for that, she needs to actually find a connection into the local magical community. She's never really been a true part of the community anywhere but her home as a child, so she doesn't understand all that much about it or magic itself, but she's learning.

    And if the man she finds to help with her wards also happens to be trying to figure out how to build real roots in the city he's been living in for years, that's something she might be able to help with.

    Summary

    Suowei can’t stifle a moan at Chi Cheng’s words. On the other end of the line, there is abrupt silence. Dangerous, calculated silence. And then…

    “Da Bao.” Chi Cheng’s voice is at least an octave lower than it had been, and Suowei just barely catches another moan before it can slip out. “What are you doing right now?”

    “What do you think?” he asks, his hand quickening its pace.

    “Wu Suowei, did you leave my bed to go jerk off?”

    **

    Suowei gets some education.
