Inexplicable by IndignantLemur
Rise of the Guardians (2012), Guardians of Childhood - William Joyce

Summary
It wasn’t the norm, for an adult to hold onto his or her Belief. In fact, such a thing almost never happened. Most children started to forget, around the end of their preteen years, and the Guardians had learned to accept that. They protected children, after all, not adults. Their strength came from the pure simplicity of a child’s Belief. Adults were too world-weary and skeptical to ever maintain such a thing on their own. It made sense that they would lose so many in the transition between the two.
Ingrid was something of an exception… not because she was special in and of herself, of course, but rather due to an odd series of events.
But one thing inevitably leads to another, and when Ingrid strikes up a fake "deal" with the Boogeyman to help her little sister with her nightmares years later, she doesn't realize that a shred of belief and permission are all the Boogeyman needs.
Belief opens many doors, including ones that probably should have stayed firmly shut.
Starts out cute, fluffy, and a bit slow, but picks up (and grows darker) quickly!

Summary
John wants to explain the rush of sensation and data, which is just another form of sensation (or is it the other way around?). John wants to say:
Augmentation circuits report temperature, pressure, various forms of quantitative input. Sudden changes are reported as pain, since sudden changes are dangerous, and pain is the quickest way to encourage reflexive extraction.
But all John can manage is, “Nng.”
Because this sudden touch is not reporting as pain.

Summary
Belle is no princess, but then Rumpelstiltskin is certainly no prince. His price is her hand in marriage.
He smelled of leather, and faintly of the leaves in autumn and of dark forest soil. Magic clung to him, wrapped all about him, so much more powerful than any she'd ever known. Magic was everywhere in the world, but when visible it was always small magic, scarce and sparkling and precious. In him magic pooled and swirled, bottomless and dark.

Summary
"Should I start, or would you like to?" Neal asked Q.
"Are you going to draw this out?" Q said. "It's really quite simple. Some years ago, before MI6, before Neal's little bond mishap—"
"Alleged bond mishap," Neal said—mostly out of reflex, Q thought.
"You were convicted by a jury of your peers," Q said. "It's somewhat less alleged at this point. Nonetheless, before . . . that, Neal and I . . . were acquainted."
Or: When Q hears that the FBI is bringing one Neal Caffrey to British soil for an investigation, he's fully expecting trouble with a capital T. Naturally, what he gets is much worse: par for the course when you're dating James Bond and you're old friends with an international art thief.
