Summary
in 2069 AD, the region once known as the United States of America is a world of complex lore and political intrigue that our heroine doesn't really care about because she's too busy trying to find estrogen in the post-apocalyptic Midwest.

Summary
The world will take no oaths on Valka's behalf; she must do this herself. She hardens her skin like Baldr’s. One tiny cut at a time. One hurled stick and stone and slur. One more drop of poison.
One more thing she refuses to allow to hurt her.

Summary
“Oh, come on. ‘Ferry Strike Drags On?’” Jaune complains, reading from the board. “It’s like Schnee doesn’t even want us to sell papers.”
“Better than another election puff piece talking about how great he is,” Oscar grumbles with a shrug. “Hawking that stuff makes my teeth hurt.”
“C’mon, guys, lay off. What do I always say?” Yang asks, tone dripping with cloying encouragement.
She’s rewarded with eye rolls and a ragtag chorus of voices ranging from unenthused to vaguely hostile: “Headlines don’t sell papes, newsies sell papes.”
[Or: Newsies AU! Blake arrives in Mantle with simple goals: stay away from the White Fang, keep her head down, get a job, and survive. The last thing she expects is to end up smitten with a charming fellow newsie like Yang. But when Jacques Schnee cruelly hikes the internal cost of the paper, Blake finds out that Yang’s been listening to all of Blake’s talk about fair labor practices and social justice a lot more closely than Blake realized—and the duo form a union that just might give both of them something to believe in.]

Summary
Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan Riley never had, until one day he disappears, and Stefan has to adapt to life without him. But, one year later, when he runs into a girl who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He discovers that other boys have disappeared, too, dozens over the years, most of them students of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, many of them troubled or unruly before their disappearance.
What is happening to these boys? Who are the handful of women on campus who bear a striking resemblance to some of those who went missing? And what is the connection to the mysterious Dorley Hall?
Stefan works hard to get into the Royal College for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too.
(A closeted trans girl attempts to infiltrate a secret underground forced feminisation programme.)

Summary
Deep down, Emerald is aware that her desperate need for certain people to value her is, uh. A flaw. And one she should probably address in a meaningful way. But that’s not what this is!
She’s pretty sure she and Oscar might just be… friends. The normal kind.
[Or: five times Emerald talks to Oscar, and one time she talks to Ozpin.]

Summary
The second thing Blake notices about Sun Wukong isn’t his kind smile, or his concerned expression. It’s the way he wears his shirt open, proudly displaying the top surgery scars that accentuate his pecs: an underline in bold, declaring all that he is. Without thought, without fear.
Blake’s never had that kind of courage in her life.

Summary
It’s not a secret that Blake’s read too many romance novels.
You’ll give yourself brain rot, Weiss used to say, wrinkling her nose in distaste if she walked into the dorm to find Blake sprawled out reading in a sunbeam. I’m immune, Blake would counter with a lazy shrug, not missing a beat.
It’s possible she overestimated herself. But it’s not—it’s not brain rot to have robust expectations, or a high standard or two. Is it really so bad, to want to give Yang a first time that’s novel-worthy? Privacy and an actual mattress feels like the least they should aim for.
Even now, past the end of the world.
[Or: bees, from first kiss to first time.]

Summary
“I still think this is a bad idea,” Blake manages to croak in a tone vaguely approximating judgment.
“The bench acknowledges your objection; overruled. Team BABY is ready for action!”
“Team…?” Ah, she realizes, before she can finish asking. Blake, Adrian, Bumblebee, Yang. “Your bike is not a person.”
“She’s got pronouns! What else do you need?”
[Or: in which your author reads the room, puts the finger on the pulse of fandom, and decides that what everyone really wants right now is Volume 6-era pre-waterfall Bees mutual pining as they babysit Adrian Cotta-Arc.]

Summary
I’ll be part of you. Apparently Penny had meant that in a more literal way than Winter had assumed, or dared to hope. That was—something. She tried not to grasp for it too desperately.
Post Volume 8. Winter tries to build a home for her people in Vacuo. Penny tries to do the same in Winter.

Summary
Bellwether (noun) : The leading sheep of a flock. In politics: A region in which political tendencies will map to tendencies on the larger scale; a community to watch. Colloquially: One who takes the initiative; leader; one who sets trends or directions that others follow. An indicator of change; a predictor of the direction of a society.
It's a sorry state of affairs when Robyn Hill's dusty little single-bit saloon is the closest thing the isolated mining town of Mantle has to a beating heart; but that doesn't make it any less true. With increasingly territorial cattle barons on one side, distant Dust magnates on the other, lawkeepers and supply lines in the pocket of Atlas, and very little left for anyone else, Mantle folk have to stick together--or die alone.
There is nothing Robyn wouldn't do to keep that from happening.

Summary
There is energy all around us. These energies are both yin and yang. This creates an imbalance; the energies want to restore balance. Once you call and separate the energy, you do not command it; you are simply its humble guide. And in the moment the energies are released, when they are given freedom to find the harmony they seek—
You create lightning.

Summary
Ten years after she vanished during an Imperial raid on a Twi'lek colony, Cham Syndulla sees his daughter Hera for the first time in a hologram -- now wearing the uniform of an Imperial agent and apparently working closely with a human Inquisitor. All Cham wants to do is to bring his long-missing child home to what remains of her family, but he soon finds that Hera Syndulla is only interested in two things: her duty to the Empire and her loyalty to her crew, a mismatched collection of outcasts brought together by Hera and her pet Inquisitor.
With Cham and the Rebel agent known as Fulcrum in pursuit, a new mission takes Hera and the crew of the Ghost to the planet Lothal, where a chance meeting with a Force-sensitive teenager awakens something long buried in the Inquisitor once known as Kanan Jarrus...and has dire consequences for Hera, their crew, the Empire, and the fledgling Rebel Alliance.
