Summary
Garraty clears his throat, then asks, “What about you, Pete? You got a lady?”
McVries holds Garraty’s gaze for a moment, intensely, then says, “No, Ray. No, I don’t.”
Every molecule of Raymond Garraty slows to a snail’s pace. McVries peers at him, dark eyes half-lidded, smiling softly. Garraty feels a little like he’s fallen behind in a race he didn’t know he was running.
They keep looking at each other, silently, until McVries’s lips quirk up like Garraty’s said something funny, and he lifts his bottle to his lips.
“What is it?” Garraty asks. “What’s so funny?”
McVries shakes his head, still wearing that knowing smile. “Nothing, Ray. Not a thing.”
Ray Garraty and Peter McVries fuck around, get together, and fall in love. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Almost ten years ago, over half-empty glasses of whiskey and the haze of late-night laughter, Harvey and Donna made a ridiculous deal: if they're not married by thirty-five, they’ll marry each other. Neither of them thought it would actually matter — Harvey didn’t believe in marriage, and Donna wasn’t sure she believed in Harvey, but life had other plans. Years later, when the deal resurfaces, Harvey brushes it off as if it were nothing more than a drunken joke. Donna, however, remembers every word — and she knows exactly what it implied. Yet even as she reminds him, it doesn’t seem to change anything. Because deep down, they both feel it: the deal was never just a scrap of paper. It was a promise, the start of something neither of them could walk away from.

He won’t push past the boundaries of their friendship again. Mike knows it’s his fault, and he started it, all those months ago. Maybe years ago, maybe he fell in lov-
No. He won’t force himself on Will any more. Mike and his right hand will just have to get better acquainted.
He can give him up to save him.
And when El kisses him later that evening, Mike throws himself into it. Perhaps if he can he lose himself in this, in the feel of her lips on his, he can forget the taste of Will’s thigh beneath his mouth just last week.
-
Or:
At seven, Will asks Mike not to kiss him anymore, and Mike takes it to heart – wanting Will safe is more important than just wanting him… until California. Where, for the first time, Mike wonders if safe is what Will wants at all.

Summary
Post apocalyptic world after a deady fungus. The fungus named EV-11 turned the majority of people into crank. The parasite caused a breakdown of the world‘s industry and social systems, laws lost their validity, factories were closed, cities got abandoned. Non-infected people either died of starvation or were killed by the cranks. The rest of the survivors found themselves in groups that travel through destroyed cities to find food and safe places. You have lost your family to the disease, and now are forced to travel with a group of strangers through the demolished world with an uncertain faith. People are hostile and frustrated, but you are still clinging on the last bits of hope for everyone of the remaining survivors to be able to live a happy live eventually. It is dangerous to form bonds with another human now, as you might always loose them… but sometimes the bonds create themselves with people you’d never expect.

Ms. Koril Aniseya gazed upon the motto of the conservation firm left to her and her children by her late wife carved into the wooden frame of her burial plot beneath the orange tree in their family greenhouse and pondered if Thread Independent Media Enterprises would endure to record and preserve their own history and, consequently, emerge victorious.'
A cyberpunk Pride and Prejudice retelling in which Osha and Mae navigate the complex societal structures within the city of Nu-Coruscant and hope to save the family business from nefarious megacorps, mysterious criminal syndicates, and their own love lives.
