Summary
Private solicitor Jonathan Sims is a long way from home when, for the first time in decades, he sees something he can’t explain away.
He knows enough to fear the monsters that smile with too-sharp teeth, and knows it’s too late to hope both he and his assistant could survive their stay at Castle Magnus. The only thing he can think is to save Martin.
For once, one of Jon’s plans goes off without a hitch. Martin is saved, and in exchange, Jon’s life is forfeit.
Really, the only mistake he made was assuming that death was the end of the story.

Summary
Elias Bouchard has dedicated his life to two things: first, amassing a fortune via his company’s cutting-edge work in genetic engineering; and second, obtaining definitive proof of the merfolk he knows live under the sea.
Tim, on the other hand, was only trying to catch some dinner when he swam into Elias’ trap. He wound up beached and helpless as a human approached him with a set of blades.
Jon didn’t intend to get wrapped up in any of this. He certainly didn’t intend to get on Elias Bouchard’s bad side; how was he to know the man would take personal offense to someone damaging his stray nets? It was Jon’s job to disentangle and treat the sea life that wound up on their beach every morning, after all. Whatever that sea life might be. He hadn’t done anything wrong.
Then again, he would have expected “Elias Bouchard’s bad side” to mean something like “cut funding for conservation research,” not… this.

Summary
The Archive knows his place. He may not remember anything from his life before the tower, but he knows enough to trust Elias when he says it isn’t safe for the Archive to leave.
His place is here, with Elias, where no one can hurt him again.
He gets hungry, sometimes, when Elias doesn’t let him read enough statements, but that’s not so bad. Elias knows best, after all.
When a stranger crashes through his tower’s window, everything Archive’s assumed about his own nature and that of the world outside is turned on its head. He finds himself thinking that perhaps it wouldn’t be the end of the world if he left the tower, just for a day or two. Elias will never have to find out, anyway.
What could go wrong?

Summary
Jon wasn’t anything special. He was an ordinary researcher at Bright Eye Watchmen, Inc.; not terribly skilled at his job, and certainly not very likeable, but ordinary. He could be a bit too dedicated to unearthing the truth, at least if you listened to what Tim had to say about it, but Jon tried not to make a habit of doing that.
When Jon catches the attention of Elias Bouchard, head of the local research institute, he finds himself wishing he’d listened to Tim just a little more.

Bark-brown, leathery wings pulled away from the creature’s torso, briefly revealing six limbs clinging tightly to the tree trunk above. The eyes that stared down at the man were backlit by a deep, bloody red, except for the pupils. Those were white. Blank, wide, white orbs that watched him.
“What are you?” he whispered.
Jon didn’t know.

Summary
Statement of Hazel Rutter.
Jon couldn’t stop reading.
The Fears, however, are a bit more powerful than Jonah gave them credit for. Jon opens the door, but the world can’t hold what’s on the other side.
Time falls through, instead. Past becomes present, and the future is undone.
Statement begins.

Summary
“Hiding something? What, no! I wouldn’t – I’d never – ”
“You know what? ƒμ©* it.” With a huff, Zooble yanked at the tablet in Ragatha’s hands, hard. Pomni caught how the little seams fixing Ragatha’s arms to her shoulders flexed, threatening to give way. She had to let go before Zooble ripped her forearms clean off. Zooble swiped through the tablet almost angrily as they muttered, “I don’t even know what you’re so pressed about. It’s not like your derby rider was that pretentious about – ”
Zooble cut themself off and went very, very silent.
Pomni’s mouth went dry. Dryer than it’d been even after a stress of time without real water. She watched, scared for a reason she couldn’t place, as both of Zooble’s detachable eyes widened. She could have sworn that their hot pink face turned almost salmon for a quick second before returning to its original shade. They set down the tablet and turned.
“Ragatha,” they said slowly, “why does the catalogue of NPCs include a mock-up of Jax?”
or, the gang learns something new about Jax

Summary
Gerry took a wavering step into the room, then another. In the darkness underneath the weird luminous crack in space and time there lay a man crumpled on the floor; he was slight and wild-haired and his face was screwed up in pain, his dirty clothes covered in blood.
"Oh shit," Gerry groaned and fell to his knees, hands hovering. The man’s breath came quick and shallow, teeth digging into his lower lip and nails digging into the floor. Not surprising, that — there was a bloody knife buried in his chest.In another universe, Gerry and Sasha acquire a very troublesome roommate. In yet another universe, Martin has to deal with the antics of a spider. A strange one-sided correspondence across worlds ensues, while the passage between realities is slowly closing…

Summary
“Why did you think I wouldn’t like you for being gay?” Steve asks gently.
“You’re Captain America.” Eli’s got his teeth clenched and is resolutely looking ahead. “You stand for truth and justice and the American way. You stand for American morals. You stand for…” he shrugs awkwardly. “Not people like me.”
Steve blows the air out of his cheeks slowly, trying to figure out how to keep the anger out of his voice so Eli doesn’t think it’s at him.
Or, Steve comes to terms with his new world, and gains some children in the process.
