Summary
“But don’t you want to marry me?” he asked, enough of a lilt in his voice that he could beg off as teasing need be.
Penelope was too sharp to be fooled by his tone. “I believe it’s my father you’ll be needing to speak with about that.”
Or: Penelope is used to being outshone by her cousin Helen, and even Clytemnestra. Odysseus is used to having things go his way, through luck or cunning. They never realized that meeting each other would undo all of that, and themselves.

Summary
While boys and men were collected and sent to the front, the women stayed in the cities; kept the country afloat, factories alive, and made sure there was a country to come back to, whenever the war is over.
But not all women stayed in the cities.
Not in this story, in which Rasa sends Temari to war.
[Edit 2024: New scenes added to the final three chapters]

Summary
Some defense attorneys are so anti-prosecutor, they cannot hold an amiable conversation. Temari has never understood that perspective.
And, of course, she's always been told the old adage you catch more flies with honey. As though he'll work better with her if they're not arguing all the time.
That's why she's here and talking with him. That's why she's agreed to this single drink even after finding out who she'll be drinking with. That's why she's leaning closer and feeling the ache along the back of her tongue. That's why.
Like she's honey and he's something to be caught.

Summary
“So if I walk closer, you’re going to…what, teleport? Respawn?”
“Something like that.” He responded.
“No wonder you smell so lonely.”
“I still don’t know what that means.” He said, standing up from the bed. “If anyone touches me, I pop to the nearest bed. Usually mine. Sometimes, the one at my mom’s house she keeps for me, which is worse. I can be bumped in a crowd and—” He mimed a cutaway. “Gone.”
“So you’re allergic to contact.”
“That’s the working theory.”
She chewed on that, mouth curving like she wanted to make a joke and was deciding if he could handle it. “And yet you invited a woman you barely know to your apartment.”
“You texted ‘come now,’” he said. “I’m not very bright.”

“Is there a special reason why you are looking so nice today?” Temari asked from Shiho.
“Kind of.” Shiho replied and started fiddling with the ends of her hair.
“I have a date.” She continued and the redness in her face changed into even deeper tone of red.
“I am so happy for you, who is the lucky guy?” Temari asked teasingly.
“It is… It is Shikamaru” Shiho replied quietly and Temari could feel her heart sinking when she mentioned his name.Shikamaru is planning to confess his feeling to Temari, but somehow accidentally ends up on a date with Shiho, which then leads to some unexpected consequences!

Summary
That night was a rushed job. Temari had to fight her muscles shaking as she slid into her sleeves. When her hair was finally tied back with a single ribbon, Temari took off towards the door to her bedroom, slippered feet scuffing against the rug. Her handmaids followed, matching her stiff posture. She did not hesitate in her quick step, although she dreaded each one she took. Dawdling would only make it worse. Other servants were rushing to and fro, frantically lighting candles on the walls. Temari could hear the sound of her father’s voice echoing from the living room as she descended the stairs from the second floor.

Summary
"Yeah.. well, so are summers in this town," he replied, nudging her again to lighten the mood.
"What if we don't just stay friends?" Powder hesitated, scooting a little closer to him as her voice dropped into a whisper. "What if we.. I don't know. What if we get married some day?"
Ekko blinked at her, caught off guard. "Married?"
"Uh.. yeah,"she said, her cheeks flushing pink. "You know, like grown-ups do. We could have a house with a big tree in the yard, and.. and maybe a dog. And I'd never put mayo on your sandwiches."
He laughed again, but it was softer this time, almost shy. "You're.. serious?"
Powder nodded, her eyes earnest. "You're my best friend, Ekko. I don't want to lose you, ever."
For a moment, Ekko didn't know what to say—the weight of her words settled over him, heavier than anything he had ever felt before. Finally, he grinned and stuck out his pinky finger. "Alright then. Let's make a promise."
Powder's face lit up as she linked her pinky with his. "Promise?"
"Promise," he said, and they both giggled as the streetlight buzzed faintly above them, and the stars watched silently as they etched their vow into the fabric of that warm summer night.
