Summary
No one had prepared her for John.
Maybe they could have put aside fifteen minutes in-between teaching her how to make her stitches even and her chicken cooked through – what to do if your man is also sleeping with his bassist.
(1962; 1964; 1968. Cynthia reflects on her husband's relationship with Paul.)

Summary
“Rock and roll? Really, Crowley? No, I’m afraid I know Mr. Epstein far better than you do. We have quite similar tastes, you see, he’s a great appreciator of the classics. Brahms, Bach. He may sell pop records in his shop, but I can’t possibly see how a group like this could play a role in improving his life.”
“Aziraphale, trust me on this.”
The angel looked wildly unconvinced. Crowley sighed. He was going to have to bring out the big guns.
“You owe me one,” Crowley said. “Hamlet, remember?”
Aziraphale gave an outraged wiggle. “This isn’t Shakespeare, my dear, this is— this is— rebellion!”
“Not rebellion,” said Crowley. “Revolution.”
(This is a story about Aziraphale and Brian Epstein. Did you know they were friends?)

Summary
“Whatever, bitch,” Heejin says, shoving Jeno into the doorframe so she can reach the bannister before him, “I’ve already accepted my fate, anyways!” she yells as she slides down the stairs, “I’m gonna win her over!”
Jeno leans over the railing, holding a palm to his ear. “Huh, what was that? I thought I just heard Heejin Jeon making a joke?”
(Or: Hyunjin is the captain of the school's soccer team. Heejin is hopelessly in love. Somehow they have to raise an egg baby together.)
