Summary
Willow Byers has always felt a little out of sync with the other girls her age. Not in any obvious way—just a quiet sort of difference, like a radio station that never quite tunes in right. (...)
It wasn’t that she didn’t care about romance, or relationships, or falling in love—no. She wanted all of it. Just… with another girl....
or: willow byers is just trying to get through high school while ignoring her crush on her childhood best friend, michelle wheeler.

Summary
The impossible happened: Will asked Mike to be his boyfriend. Even stranger? Mike said yes.
That's how it started. A letter, an accidental confession, a Saturday afternoon. And that? That was the easy part.
Now, what they do - what they are - is secret. Because if anyone finds out... they don't even want to imagine. Lonnie would kill them both on sight. Mike's parents would send him away to some boarding school. They'd never see each other again. They'd be marked forever. Everything would come crashing down around them.
But they try not to focus on that. They're busy, after all, trying to navigate this new relationship. Kisses, dates, prom, couples' quarrels. And in the meantime, Will has a problem on his hands; a power he needs to learn to control, before it blows up in his face.
It's a crazy end to their school year - but there's more going on behind the scenes than they realize.(This is a sequel to The Red Envelope but you don't necessarily have to have read TRE; this can be read on its own should you wish :) )

Summary
“For someone who claims not to like thinking,” Edwin says, raising an eyebrow, “you do a remarkably good job of it.”
Charles laughs. “Tell that to my old teachers, mate.”
“If they disagree, then they can’t be very qualified.” Edwin says this simply, like it’s just a fact of life. Like it’s plainly obvious that if anyone thinks Charles is stupid, it’s they who are at fault.
Or: Charles grew up poor and is likely to stay that away, his job at the magic store notwithstanding. By the time he meets Edwin, he's decided that he wants a new life. In between figuring out what's up with the mysterious wish-granting pigeons, and whether he can go to the Royal Ball, Edwin makes him want to take a chance on being happy as well.
