    Summary

    When the Chinese Empire secures a fragile peace treaty with the Mongols through a future marriage alliance, the bride promised to the Khan’s heir is chosen years before either side ever sees her face.
    The Imperial Court considers that an advantage.
    Because when the time finally comes to deliver the “princess,” the Emperor sacrifices someone far easier to replace instead: Hua Mulan, a palace servant trained to obey, disappear, and keep secrets.
    But Shan Yu is not the ignorant brute the court expected to deceive.
    And Mulan was never as invisible as they believed

    Summary

    Winter, 1871.

    After her husband’s death, Mulan lives alone on a remote homestead built on stolen frontier land, surviving harsh winters, hostile settlers, and the quiet guilt of a country expanding over graves.

    One storm-filled night, she finds a wounded stranger hiding in her barn.

    The man is Shan Yu — an Indigenous war leader hunted by soldiers, feared by settlers, and whispered about like a ghost story along the frontier.
    Mulan should turn him in.
    Instead, she lets him stay.
    As the mountains close around them and violence creeps ever nearer, Mulan is forced to question everything she has survived for — and whether mercy toward a dangerous man will destroy her… or save what remains of her soul.

    Summary

    During a mission gone sideways, Bruce finishes hacking a door in under five seconds—a feat that leaves Barbara Gordon speechless.

    Summary

    Preening was the most intimate ritual in avian cultures. Done only by family and partners, it was more than simple hygiene for avians. It was a gesture of trust and love. There were very specific customs about where they were done, what words were spoken to cue the ritual, and who could do it. Traditions varied slightly, but the core concepts remained the same. Among avians, requests to preen and be preened were expected to be semi-frequent, in order to maintain the deep bonds that avians kept with each other.

     

    Or, 5 times Bruce preens his birds and 1 time they preen him.
