    Summary

    Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).

    But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng is sort of having a complicated night.

    She tilts her chin up, moving to the beat of the track, and her eyes slide over him, top to bottom. The beat goes dirty and buzzing and she has to raise her voice to say, “I don’t do straight guys.” 

    Someone grinds against him and he looks down at the prettiest girl he’s ever seen and says, stupid with something to prove, “Good thing I’m not straight, then.” He sounds like he’s sure of it, even though he’s not, but his best decisions have always been forced out of him by people bolder than he is.

    Summary

    "Number Four is dead," is what their father tells them. Short; to the point. "He has failed the Academy. I trust that none of you will make the same mistake, and that you will account for his absence accordingly."
    Then, several days later, Klaus comes back. The screaming fills the whole house.

    Or: at thirteen, Klaus dies under mysterious circumstances. It does not go over well. Days later, Klaus comes back as a shadow of himself. It goes over as well as it can, in all honesty.

    Summary

    When Jin Guangyao was just Meng Yao (a-Yao, even), his mother told him bedtime stories about the “elusive phenomenon” she called dream sharing.

    He never expected to experience it, much less in such a personal way.
