    Summary

    “It’ll be fine. We’ve both tried a few things out.”

    “Strength, speed, invisibility …”

    “I even did the laser eye experience, once, that was a real blast.. pun absolutely intended.”

    Tim squeezed his shoulder, thereby, presumably, becoming extremely aware of Jon’s embarrassing shakiness. He tactfully didn’t mention it.

    “It’s a weird sensation at first, but it’s a lot of fun. Trust me.”

    Or, Jon reluctantly allows a smidgeon of fun to enter his life and … consequences follow.

    Summary

    The agony of having a crush: Jon is one specific person, but really, he could be anyone.

    Or, he could have been anyone, until the day he walks into the cafe carrying a porcelain clown doll, because Martin is dead certain that that is not something anyone else has ever, will ever, could ever do.

    Summary

    There is a war brewing with the Witch Lords of the north, and the Serene Empire is not powerful enough to stand against them. Their only hope is to forge an alliance with the mysterious Lord of Eyes, a Witch Lord who is famed as much for his neutrality as his power.

    Martin Blackwood, a minor Raverran noble with far less political expertise than he claims, is drawn into the fray through a chance encounter at a ball. With an invitation to study at the Lord of Eyes’ personal Archive, he is sent racing north to turn this opportunity to the Empire’s advantage and somehow convince the terrifying Lord to save his country.

    Summary

    Gerard's first thought when he awoke was that being dead felt oddly like being alive. It was colder, certainly, and there was a strange wet open feeling, but beyond that it was identical. If he concentrated he could even convince himself he still had a body.

    OR

    Gerry wakes up in the middle of The Archivist turning him into a skin book and meets Jon when he goes to confront her. High jinks ensue.
