    Summary

    What if the greatest lie of a war was not who the villain was, but why the war was allowed to happen at all?
    In a wizarding world built on inherited authority and unexamined obedience, Harry Potter grows up believing he is meant to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Hermione Granger learns that knowledge without consent becomes another form of violence. Draco Malfoy discovers that redemption is often just coercion with better language.
    As old magic begins to resist the structures that bind it, three students are forced into an uneasy alliance, not to defeat evil, but to expose the systems that require it. The Horcruxes are no longer objects to be hunted, but ethical failures made manifest, and every victory reveals another truth the world would rather smooth over.
    This is not a story about heroes and monsters.
    It is about witnesses.
    And what happens when a lie finally collapses under the weight of being seen.

    Summary

    In 2009 Kent "living Taylor Swift song" Parson goes first in the draft, moves to Nevada, and starts an NHL career that includes one Stanley Cup win, one league lockout, a lot of media manipulation, bad blood with several teams, a captaincy, big city politics, and the pressure that comes with some questionable sponsors for a club located in the gambling heart of the United States.

    Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces learn how to work around the ghost of Jack Zimmermann.

    (Not literally.)

    Summary

    Jonny is actually the second person Pat ever came out to, way back in rookie year. At the time he’d only told Erica, but it had felt more real to say it to Jonny, somehow.

    “Huh,” Jonny had said, just this quiet, considering noise, and Pat’s heart had stopped for a split second. “Thanks for telling me, Kaner. But be careful about picking up, ok?”

    And with that piece of extremely practical advice, he’d clapped Patrick on the shoulder and walked away.
