Summary
When Jax Briggs calls in his last favor, Sonya Blade finds herself dragged into a mission that ticks exactly zero of her boxes: find a missing OIA agent named Kenshi Takahashi, navigate the treacherous politics of Outworld, and do it all with Johnny Cage as her unwanted shadow.
The man is a walking liability. Loud, reckless, and armed with a smile that suggests he's never been told no in his entire life. He's also frustratingly connected to everyone she needs to talk to and infuriatingly capable in a fight.
But the trail is getting colder, the Black Dragon is somehow involved, and every lead she follows suggests Kenshi's disappearance is tangled up in General Shao's rebellion. With no backup, no clear exit strategy, and a partner who keeps looking at her like she's the only person in the room, Sonya's in way over her head.

When it comes to Michaela, Francesca can never quite find the words she needs. 5 times she couldn't find them, and the 1 time she did.

Summary
The streetlamp was doing something unfair and beautiful to Michaela’s face, picking out the slope of her cheek, the deep warm brown of her shoulder. Francesca looked down at her, the height difference indecent in these heels, and felt something settle in her chest.
“I’m not changing my mind.”
“Say it properly.”
“I want to go to your hotel. I want you to take me upstairs. I want—” and here her voice caught, only a little, the ghost of the old Francesca who had blushed across dinner tables, “—I want you to stop being good.”

Summary
Test pilot and astronaut Marlena Glenn has spent her entire life chasing something she can never quite catch: her family's approval. A solo mission in an experimental spacecraft to Jupiter's moon Europa is supposed to be her crowning achievement—the farthest anyone has ever gone, proof at last that she is enough.
The universe has other plans.
When an unexpected storm sends her ship tumbling through a rift in the stars, Marlena crash-lands on a world that shouldn't exist. Eternia has one sun, several moons, magic that actively defies the laws of logic—and a king who seems to be struggling more than he’s willing to admit with holding everything together.
Randor is fighting a war on two fronts: against his usurping half-brother Keldor and the gnawing certainty that his missing father is never coming home. The last thing he needs is a strange, stubborn, captivating woman who absolutely refuses to stay where he puts her. What he wants, on the other hand...

Summary
tenacious, adjective
te·na·cious | tə-ˈnā-shəsa: not easily pulled apart
b: tending to adhere or cling especially to another substanceSeason One: Kyle Crane steps into a world he no longer recognizes, carrying grief on one shoulder and fear on the other. He grieves the loss of his own life, snatched from him, and he fears for his soul; fears he’ll slide across that thin line between monster and man, with nothing left in this fallen world to guide him back.
Then again... he has a man to kill. And revenge? Vengeance? Maybe a monster—leashed by anger—is what it’ll take.
You know the drill! This is a campaign rewrite: More heroes, more villains, new end game.

Summary
Rumi is still not a hundred percent sure why she agreed to this objectively ridiculous “tutoring” session.
When it comes down to it, she thinks she's mainly doing this for Zoey, because Zoey is the only kind, genuine person at this whole damn school, and Rumi wants to help her. Zoey is absolutely hopeless with boys, and she needs help with her confidence before she tries to date one. Rumi sort of…didn’t mention the fact that all her own experience is with girls, but she’s pretty sure Zoey already knows. Kissing is a gender-neutral skill anyway, and Mira is going to handle the other part (thank god).
It’s definitely not because Mira made intense eye contact with her in the bathroom mirror last week while applying lipstick way too slowly. Or because of that time Mira coolly demolished the boy who was trying to score points by talking shit about Rumi at lunch.
Nope, it’s definitely not any of that. Rumi just wants to be a good friend to Zoey. A best friend. A friend who has never once been paralyzed by the desire to find and kiss every single one of Zoey’s freckles.

Summary
What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.
