Summary
"There was uh--I was just walking along, y'know?" Hussein squared his shoulders. "And next thing I know, this big guy in a car stopped next to me and, like, asked if I needed a lift, yeah?" He looked down at his hands, his eyebrows furrowing. Lesley stood at the foot of the hospital bed, restraining the urge to shake him. "I said 'nah, all good' but he kept insisting and then he got fucking aggressive, starting shouting and shit. Got out of the car and--" Hussein gestured to his side.
Lesley blew out a breath and, struggling not to sound exasperated, said, "That's it? That's all you remember then?"
A reworking of the 'troll under the bridge' story.

Summary
Five pairs of eyes looked at him expectantly, all ready to protest regardless of whichever side Ron decided to be on. He glowered at them all indiscriminately and said, "Shut your pie holes and listen to Leslie."

Summary
“What if you knew somebody from Mayday? Would they still deserve such a harsh fate?” Garth asked.
I frowned.
"I don’t know anyone from Mayday, and if I somehow did, I would be able to tell.
Garth looked away for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitching.
“Actually, I don’t think you would.”
—
One week before her wedding, Agnes MacKenzie finds herself mourning a life she hasn't lived, yet.
Between cruel rehearsals, mounting expectations, and the suffocating certainty of an arranged marriage, she finds unexpected comfort in quiet conversations with Garth Chapin—the Guardian assigned to help usher her into her new life.
And when whispers of Mayday begin creeping closer to home, Agnes starts to realize that trust, loyalty, and even love may not survive Gilead, no matter how much she needs it to.

Summary
He reaches for the glass of wine again. He takes another swallow. And then—
It happens. It’s nothing. It’s a flicker, a second, a feeling at first. The hair at the base of his neck feels like its been grazed, electric and immediate and impossible—so, utterly impossible. Because he hasn’t felt this since—since—
Mike readjusts in his seat, just a little. Fingers brush his, feather light. And then the world tilts, and he’s swallowed into the darkness. He hardly has the time to breathe before he looks up and sees her. Not a hallucination, not a stranger on the street with the same hair, or the same style. Her.
El.
--
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in Reykjavík—El finds Mike's published book and builds the courage to take it home with her.
In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in New York—Mike cannot seem to adjust to life without her.

Summary
The whispers of his name grow into chants. Muad’Dib. Muad'Dib. Muad'Dib. She could kill a thousand men, and still the first one after would utter his name. It is pointless to run from it, to hide from it. She knows this. She does not bother with lying to herself about a truth as fundamental as this. She cannot escape him.
But for a time, life is simple.
And then it is not.
Or — Chani, in the aftermath.
