    Summary

    In Zadash a tiefling con man and a wizard con man meet and fall slowly in love with plenty of bumps along the way.

    The late autumn leaves scattered across the road just outside the bus station. Molly looked around hoping to find somewhere to rest his feet and maybe get a beer. Most of the inns and taverns on this side of Zadash were not worth stepping into, too small and they’d notice his hustle. He needed somewhere prominent, somewhere loud, somewhere that they would be too pissed to notice his hands in their pockets.

    Somehow in the short con, he meets a soft wizard who he can't seem to get enough of.

    Summary

    All for deku!
    After years of life All For One realizes his death is inevitable, between his constant fights with the users of one for all and seeing the doctor grow older. He starts to make plans around this idea. He knows quirks hold some essence from their original holder, he has been haunted by them in the past after all. So, what if his did as well? What if a connection could be maintained like a download, slowly adding his consciousness to another body? Perhaps it would be possible, but he would need a rarity nowadays to do so cleanly. A quirkless individual, a child would be best, with no quirk there would be no defense against his own. And even if this process takes years, a child should be alive long enough to see it through.

    Summary

    “Trust no friend without faults, and love a woman, but no angel.”
    ~Doris Lessing

    Or

    Trailer excerpt:
    The doorbell rings.

    The Angels pull up short. Jane feels shocked: she gawks at the door. Then refocuses, narrows her eyes. That will be the mole. Whoever the hell it is, they’ve no doubt come to brag about the evil that they’ve done … and rub it bloody in. This is because they think they’ve won: Jane’s strategic mind ticks into overdrive. The Angels must be surrounded by overwhelming odds; it’s confirmed. Otherwise, the mole wouldn’t turn up to monologue about their impending victory. That’s just how these things go … Jane is an old pro … she has to turn this development to the Angels’ advantage. Somehow …

    Elena is still gawking at the door. She’s made no move towards it; neither has Jane. Sabina looks thoughtful.

    “It’s the mole,” Sabina tells them, and Jane knows that whatever super spy instinct told Jane this intel, it’s also told Sabina. They’re on the same page.

    “Agreed,” says Jane.

    “What?!” Elena sounds aghast. “How do you know?!”

    “Just do,” says Sabina and Jane nods shortly. How does Elena NOT know?

    Summary

    Hell and Earth have different timelines. It doesn't matter what time you died, thousands of eternities could have pass in Hell per one day in Earth after your death. The afterlife timelines are more like a messy signature, rather than a straightforward line. So it wasn't surprising for children in the 1800s to summon a TV Demon who wanted a brief vacation.

    However, one of Hell's indentured guard dogs is hot on the TV Demon's tail. His mission? Not to let the influence of modern technology disrupt Earth's natural time, and bring the TV Demon back by any means necessary!

    Or Vox gets summoned and Alastor is tasked with making sure the idiot doesn't do anything to branch the timeline of Earth so much off it's natural course that the angels have to interfere.

    Mouri Shion, of Mouri and Son Detective Agency, is approached by a young man who believes he may be the lost prince Kudou Shinichi. A ridiculous theory, of course. Just because he supposedly looks similar and happens to have been adopted around the time the prince disappeared doesn't mean anything. ...Right?

    Summary

    Truth be told, it's a little embarrassing to be questioned like this and in the face of her stern face he can only break and give her a sheepish smile. Dunno what you want me to do about it, he tries to convey with a shrug, spreading his hands helplessly. "If you'll pardon any disrespect, I never said that was his real name, Ma'am. Just that it's the name he gave me."

    Don't think about it, don't, he reminds himself, sternly. A hint of warmth starts to travel up the back of his neck. He has no intention of telling her that portion of the story.
