    Summary

    Anya Forger has lived five lives. In every single one, Damian Desmond becomes Prime Minister, delivers a stirring yet ill-advised speech, and declares a war nobody asked for.

    This life, Anya opts out. She ignores politics, eats pastries, and lets history ruin itself without her involvement. That ends when she saves Damian’s life, and he responds like any sensible future warlord would: by proposing immediately. Now she’s engaged to the man who’ll destroy the world, and worse, her plan to do nothing with her life has gone off the rails.

    It’s all going surprisingly well, aside from the constant sense she’s being outmanoeuvred in a game nobody wants to admit they’re playing.

    Si vis pacem, para bellum.

    Summary

    Miles says something to a large man in a green jacket standing next to him, mouth moving mute from across the crowd, scowl stern as always. And then, his grey eyes flick to the side, and catch.

    Surprise looks strange on his friend’s new face. His eyebrows fly up, one quirked higher than the other, eyes open wide, lips clamped shut in a tight frown. His entire posture somehow gets stiffer, more uptight and he swivels a little, to get a clearer look. Recognition and confusion and a strange fear pass over his expression, and his mouth opens slightly as if to say something.

    Phoenix feels his lips twitch into an odd smile as lightning prickles down his spine.

    Summary

    Anya had woken up on a snowy night due to a nightmare, and had expected to roll over and go back to bed. But instead, she heard the thoughts of someone she didn't expect to be anywhere near her house!

    And, he had forgotten his gloves! Anya had to go check on Syon-boy to make sure he was okay, and that he wasn't too cold. Papa would be proud of her trying to be nice for the mission.

    But why was he here in the first place?!

    Summary

    “Oh, oh, I have an idea!” Scruffy said, rubbing his hands together. “Let’s do our own Christmas Carol play. You can have whatever role you want! More than one role even! And we’ll stage it for your mom and dad before Christmas.”

    Anya brightened, even though she still felt uncertain. “Papa won’t be happy if we make him the bad guy.”

    “Alright, how about this,” Scruffy said, stroking his chin in thought. “We make it about Bondman.”

    -----

    With her Stella count stalling in the second year of Operation Strix, Anya tries to cheer her Papa up in time for Christmas, with Uncle Franky's help.
