"I've never met a madman such as yourself. You're necrotic! I'd go as far as to say you're the son of necrosis." The roaring 1900s were a time to behold, especially in New York's first integrated-staff hospital, where 31 year old Michael Jackson led the crusade as the first African-American chief of surgery. Hailed as the remedy to any demonic plague thrown his way, he still can't seem to cure the one that lurks deep within himself. In a world of "every man for themselves"... some don't even have the pleasure of that much.

Fate found in its tenderest expression. Augustine Ives was convinced for many years that even her own shadow could accomplish more than she could, standing out in moments when she felt it impossible. Until she took a chance and moved across America to Portland to work at what she could only describe as her own, most beautiful dream brought to life. Hollowark. But even while living her dreams, she was constrained by an anxiety that'd tyrannized her for too long and struggled to find that sense of belonging in a place so different from the only home she'd ever known. Auggie loved her work-she couldn't have more grateful for the fulfilling opportunity. But when work was over, when the day ended, when she sat alone in the bedroom of a loft with high, echoey walls... the weight of her self-sustained sorrow pressed down on her. Michael Jackson, an intelligent but maladroit Senior Game Developer at Hollowark, had seen plenty of interns come and go. Most moved on to bigger studios, few stuck around at the mid-tier establishment. It only made it harder for the already awkward man to connect with people he could never be sure would stay long enough to give him a chance to. But with Auggie, he felt a kind of pull towards her that he'd never experienced. She was beautiful, stylish, soft-spoken, reserved... a bit awkward like him, a result of her diffidence. Not quite as much, but enough to make him feel seen and understood. Unknowingly, he'd pull her out of the hard shell she built around herself, and in the process show her how worthy she was of friendship, love, and all the between. With time, patience, and good intentions, their bond would flourish into an intimacy neither of them had ever imagined they'd achieve.

Super soldiers, assassins, and fallen stars alike. Used as weapons and claimed as tools to be controlled. Now (in a world 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘺 privy to The Big Three--androids, aliens, and wizards), an unlikely group of misfits with dangerous pasts is brought together under uncertain orders. Each carrying secrets, regrets, and powers that could destroy them--or everyone around them. As loyalty is tested and masked motives collide, they must navigate a fragile line between control and freedom, and decide who they will become when no one is watching. ! extended summary inside !

Yes, she killed them. No, she's not sorry.

❝𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻' 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗲, 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻' 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗲❞ A regular at The Paper Coven Bookstore, Michael's your (not-so) average, resident genius and Cosmos enthusiast who works with actual rockets yet still panics when his mom calls. Noelle is Boston's most charmingly unqualified manager for said-bookstore, running off of nothing but caffeinated teas, several Uggs in rotation and vibes (social media). They only ever talk about books... until Michael tells his visiting parents he's engaged (he's not) and Noelle offers to keep up the charade... Suddenly, you've got fake engagement rings, offbeat family dinners, and a cat named Rune silently judging from a sill somewhere. It's hilariously awkward. It's adorable. It's the ultimate lie, actually.

"𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦..." Over three decades after the start of his career, Michael Jackson still manages to be on top of the world. After the release of his 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 album, all he really wanted to do was finally take a step back from 𝘩𝘪𝘴 career and fully care for his two children. As fate would have it, he would almost get what he wanted. Sharing her voice with other's was all Saffron ever wanted to do. But with no connections and no real knowledge of how to get her music out there, she was limited to sharing her work with just family and friends.
