Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.
--
Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

Summary
Shang Qinghua would have it be known that weird dreams mean nothing to him, he's been stress-dreaming for years, so he didn't expect that day to be different from any other day as head disciple of An Ding Peak! At least not until he was introduced to his fellow scum villain for the first time.
(Shen Jiu knew it as the day everything finally changed for him.)

Summary
The day Frank Columbo met Eugenio Franchitti was a day blessed by God: God and all the real angels and saints, specifically Adjutor, Philip Neri, and Barbara. The war was going full swing; on the beach there were the leftovers, the women and boys and girls, and the oldest Franchitti kids who hadn’t shipped overseas, Geno and Cecilia, first cousins. Frank hadn’t noticed ’em at first, either of ’em, the tall and lanky boy and girl with skin like gold and eyelashes like fringed velvet burlesque fans, physical traits the magazines said you could shell out for but the Franchitti kids had ’em in spades all natural; but once he had he couldn’t stop noticin'.
*
The story of how Columbo and Mrs. Columbo came to be.

Summary
Phaidros is a sailor whose heart belongs more to the sea than any one port, and he's spent his entire life being blown from place to place. But after being falsely accused of a crime in King Minos's court, he finds himself locked away in a labyrinth that he may never escape.
The halls of Minos's maze are said to be haunted by a fearsome beast, one that feasts on the flesh of men, but Phaidros quickly learns that what is said is not always what is true -- and false accusations may be more common in this kingdom than he'd previously expected.
