Summary
Chapter 37 posted 9/16

Summary
Once, Maximilien Robespierre had been certain that the Revolution must be close to achieving its goals. The ongoing wars, the shifting of the factions and the deluge of plots, lies and false-friends have disabused him of that notion. The time has come to face the hardest choice imaginable and fight within the Convention, the Committee and the Jacobin Club to secure the Republic and its people, and defend his companions, his beloved friend and everything he holds dear.

Summary
Four months after the Homecoming dance, Peter Parker's life is largely unchanged. Ned knows his secret now, and so does Aunt May, which means there are a few more rules and a few more consequences, but there's been radio silence from Tony Stark. Peter isn't really bitter; he knows the man is busy, and that his own work is hardly consequential, but still... it'd be nice to hear something.
One day, he does. It isn't what he expects. It isn't what Tony expects, either.
Both drawn together and pulled apart by past trauma, Tony and Peter attempt to navigate their now connected lives. New threats are faced while politics rage, and eventually words are the greatest threat of all. Words, and the ever-looming possibility of a real, actual future. Maybe, for Tony, all hope isn't lost. Maybe, for Peter, there's a whole new adventure looming before him; growing up.
Because there's a question lurking within both men. A terrible, burning question, and the search for its answer will be the most important and terrifying quest either has ever attempted.

Summary
Northumbria's alliance with Mercia might add numbers that they desperately need, but King Simon's past with Merlin, his natural ability and cunning insight into how best to incite Merlin's demon's darker impulses - as well as his conditions for the alliance - could prove problematic for Merlin's and Arthur's future.
There's also a couple of other issues to worry other than the war:
*Who is the traitor in Mercia?
*Why did Bayard need Camelot?
*What has Merlin been trying to research and find for Bayard all this time?And, most importantly: what's the big deal with the upcoming dark moon?

Summary
Yuueii Regional Theatre is known for being the best off-Broadway theatre in all of New York City. This isn't thanks to a large budget or a good publicity department, but to the rabid, fervent determination of the grad school students it employs to make it in the cutthroat world of performing arts. But when two new performers with night-and-day backgrounds are hired as leads for the company's fall play, the delicate hierarchy of the theatre threatens to collapse for good.
Or, how to put on the best low-budget, off-Broadway production of the season without breaking your heart (or your head) in the process. -

Summary
Derek says, "Here."
Stiles has no time to prepare before Derek is shoving two of his stuffed wolves in his direction. "Ow — hey, easy with Sly and Truth. They're soft, but they're not that soft. And neither am I for that matter."
Derek gives a noticeable pause in the dark.
Stiles flushes when he realizes what he let slip and he quickly turns away so he can hide his blushing face between the grey and white wolves taking up residence in his arms.
"You — you named them," Derek marvels.
or
Stiles moves to Beacon Hills so his dad can become the new sheriff, and finish out his freshmen year of high school (by staying under the radar) when he suddenly becomes the Beyoncé of the Supernatural community, and catches the eye of one of the most prominent Werewolf families in all of North America. It literally all starts with a stuffed animal(s).

Summary
But Mandalorians are tougher than they'd bargained for, and Maul himself is a brilliant strategist, which makes things hard. They'd been bogged down in one of the cities in the southern hemisphere for a full week, just trying to break past the outer defenses, because as it turns out the combination of “no qualms about using civilians as living shields” and “knows how to use smaller numbers to their advantage” in a Sith is kriffing deadly.
They've lost a lot of good men already, and things are only getting harder. Anakin and Obi-Wan both have just been called back to Coruscant (something about the Chancellor getting himself kidnapped, the idiot), with their battalions, leaving Ahsoka to handle the attack on Sundari alone--her first solo attack as a General.
It's not the tactics she's worried about, it's the sudden drop in numbers.
