    Summary

    "Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”

    “Penelope?” Tim asked.

    “Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
    --
    Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.

    Summary

    “You’re not 007,” says the henchman, clad tip-to-toe in black, head cocked in confusion.

    “Unfortunately, I am,” says Q. “And believe me, I’m much more put out by it than you are.”

    When James Bond goes missing and is presumed dead yet again, the only person MI6 deems suitable to take his place is the man responsible for planning all of his outstanding missions: Q. Entirely against his will, Q finds himself thrown into active service as the new 007. Much to everyone's surprise, not least Q's, he turns out to be a natural. He might even be a better 007 than Bond ever was.

    And Bond's not going to stand for that.

    Summary

    “You aren’t there,” Lillium tells him, “hear me? You’re safe, here. With me.”

    Iris blinks, and thin, hot tears scorch down his cheeks. The vacancy in his eyes haunts Lillium to his bones and he leans forward, pressing his forehead firmly against Iris’ with nothing left to do.

    “With me, Iris,” Lillium stresses. “With me.”

    Iris stills beneath him, his thrashing slowed. His heart is beating so hard that Lillium can feel it galloping in Iris’ temples.

    “W’With you,” Iris whimpers, words clotted and high-pitched in the back of his throat.

    Iris gets hurt.

    Summary

    "There's all kinds of forums out there," Lu Bixing said, altogether too casually for someone who had his fingers sunk into Lin Jingheng to the knuckles. He moved them again and Lin Jingheng made an involuntary sound. "It was kind of crazy reading all these sex tips or whatever and thinking about doing them to you."

    "Oh," said Lin Jingheng, who was trying not to listen.

    --

    Lu Bixing does all things with scientific rigor.

    Summary

    Acting as Anakin Skywalker's confidante is probably the most painful aspect of pretending to be kind and sympathetic Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. It seems that every other week, Skywalker is in love with another paramour who will leave him heartbroken within months. And as Skywalker's mentor and father figure, it is Darth Sidious' job to pick up those pieces and lend a compassionate ear to Skywalker's suffering. Every. Single. Time.

    It's only after several years of this routine that Sidious realizes that he can solve two of his problems in one fell swoop: if he can convince Skywalker that he is in love with his old Jedi master, Kenobi, then Skywalker will inevitably have his heart broken by the man when their relationship fizzles into nothing. Then his strongest tether to the Light will be severed, and Sidious can claim Skywalker as his apprentice.

    Because surely Skywalker's feelings for Kenobi are not returned. Surely Kenobi has more sense than to be enamored beyond reason with his former padawan. Surely all Sidious has to do is push Skywalker in Kenobi's direction and then watch the fallout.

    Surely. Surely?
