Summary
As she prepares for the middling ranks of Al2rnia's corporate bureaucracy, an eight-sweep-old teal knows her place in the world. A titled lineage from an ancestor who rewrote the rules of her hemostratum to its detriment; a fate in an office, making menial changes to word choice until the end of her life or the world. A room that's almost of her own; the subway systems and blizzard winds of her city, and the shape of the Hatching Ziggurat on the horizon. The world is enormous and immovable, and the capacity to move it has never been hers.
Your name is AIVIDE THIERI. When a violet heiress takes an interest in you, will you examine the immovable world up close?

Summary
One of the women at his brothel who’d helped raise him was from Lys. She worshipped a love god named Yndros that was both male and female at once, and she was the most beautiful woman in all of Oldtown, or so Satin thought when he was seven. Once, he’d asked her how you were supposed to pray to Yndros, and she smiled serenely and said in a fading accent, “You don’t, sweetling. You just have to allow yourself to love and be loved. That’s what prayer is.” She dabbed at his nose with a cloth. “When we love, boy, that’s the gods speaking back to us. In their sweet tongues.”
She was killed in an alley a year later.
Satin finds himself in a precarious new position. If it weren't such an honour, it might prove desperately inconvenient. -

Summary
Fauchelevent looked down at Valjean, his eyes creasing with amusement. “You and love. ‘What kind of love does a midwinter tree need?’ I asked myself. I thought you were plumb out of your mind, skittering through the branches in the dead of winter."

Summary
Hundreds of thousands of sweeps after its colonization by interuniversal refugees from Earth C’s troll population, Al2rnia is dying a death of a thousand cuts. Global cooling has spiraled out of control, unrest, climate disruption, and escalating labor demands alike have decimated the workforce, and the impenetrable hatching ziggurat can hardly maintain the rate of replacement for the warmblooded corpses piling up in the icy seas.
Alone in the stygian depths of the hadal zone, a fuchsia heiress prepares her coming-of-age pitch for the Shark Tank: her one shot at joining the Al2rnian Board of Directors for an immortal lifetime’s tenure and the chance to put the planet back on track.
Your name is VINBRE MALCOS and you are going to save the world or die trying.

Summary
You wait for her to say something, anything, but the silence stretches on and you can’t help but panic a little bit. Her expression is unreadable, and you’re starting to worry that this was all a mistake, that she’s already regretting sparing you (because who wouldn’t, honestly, says a nasty little voice in your head, you’re a killer and a monster and she has always been too good for you), when finally, after what feels like sweeps, she sticks her hand out to you.
