    Summary

    Terrified, Maverick grabs the newspaper off the doorstop and tears the thread off, tearing it open. There’s a story about the nuclear reactor that exploded in Ukraine in April, and another about the death of Ted Lyons. Ronald Reagan is the president of the United States, the Cubs beat the Dodgers last night 9-4, and Aliens is the number one movie in America.

    The newspaper is the San Diego Union. The date is July 26, 1986.

    Maverick clamps a hand over his mouth and barely makes it back in the house in time to fall to his knees and vomit into the toilet.

    -

    Maverick makes a wish and wakes up thirty years in the past. He reacts accordingly.

    Summary

    He couldn’t imagine that Lyonel would take kindly to having been passed over. In favor of House Targaryen, at that. “Seems to me,” he said gloomily, “he’ll either have forgotten the whole thing and will welcome me with unseemly quantities of wine and dancing, or he’ll skewer me on first sight as repayment for his wounded pride.”

    “Ah.” Egg looked solemn. “Those usually are the two options with high lords.”

    Summary

    “You have a tiny Hobbit,” Fíli said, sounding astonished. “Why do you have a tiny Hobbit?” Kíli asked, his voice suspicious. “Did you get married?” asked Fíli, now sounding worried. “This is not good,” Kíli muttered, with twice the worry as Fíli. “Uncle, why are they staring at you?” Frodo asked, his voice confused.
    Bilbo fled Erebor before his friends could be buried, before he had to see Thorin encased in stone. He returns to the Shire and settles into a life of unsociability and some amount of loneliness, but finds comfort in the figures of the children of Hobbiton.
    After twenty years, however, his luck is gone, and Bilbo has to flee the Shire with Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin, and with four very young Hobbits, there is only one place he can turn to.

    Summary

    “And to you?” Stiles sounded uncharacteristically quiet.

    “What?”

    “Was I important to you?”

    Derek shook his head, feeling a sense of hopelessness settle over him. How many times had he imagined this conversation?
    “Is this a joke to you? Is it funny to watch him wear your clothes and get so excited to be around you? Do you have any idea how much it’s going to hurt him when you decide you’re done with this town and pack up and leave. Again.”

    “You didn’t answer my question. Eli missed me. Did you?”

    Summary

    Goose talked to him most nights. His choice of conversation was normal — movies he’d seen, music he liked, stories about his wife and son — and sometimes Ice almost forgot that Goose was dead at all.
