"--I am sending this letter out of concern for Tedros, my son. Over these past nearly seven years, I have found myself somewhat unnerved, on occasion, by his behaviour. In most aspects of life, he is a good-humoured child that most people find charming, but there have been moments where I have found his reactions... disturbing. He randomly flies into passions, becomes possessive of objects, is an aggressive fighter, and lacks temperance. I would dismiss these as merely the peculiarities of a child, but something about them causes me disquiet. When compared to Jacinda's daughter Bettina, and many other Ever leader's children, he sticks out as an outlier, far less measured and more prone to lash out. For my own peace of mind, I researched this, and what I found startled me immensely-- stories of Never children born of Ever parents."

tedros is a never, and his father didn't even have the decency to tell him.

"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind. Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'" Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best. Sadie Jones, stubborn and clever, is set on being the best. Returning from winter break feeling, more so than ever, that she has stolen her sister's dream, Sadie is determined to spend the rest of Junior year proving that she deserves everything she's worked towards. Carter Conners, notorious flirt (only when it comes to Sadie), will do anything it takes to not spend the rest of his life working at his parents' diner. Whether it's running for the track team or debating, Carter is always competing, and competing to win. Sadie and Carter have been rivals since freshman year, constantly bickering and trying to best each other. But when the rivals are thrown into a week long debate competition that, along with getting the top spot on the Principal's List, will guarantee one of them the title of Valedictorian next year, they find themselves enjoying each other's company more than they would've ever expected. And it leaves them wondering: "Do we really hate each other?"

Simmer: Or, The Second Life of Callis Wardwell, Witch

5 parts Complete

Making it out of two Gavaldon witch burnings alive takes a special kind of audacity. Thankfully, Callis has plenty of it. But chasing Agatha back into the Endless Woods, leads her directly into a web of lies, intrigue and backstabbing that points all the way back to Rafal, and her time at Evil. It's lucky, then, that Callis's infamous mother is so good at all of those things, because in order to survive this brutal extension of their tale, Agatha, Sophie and Tedros are going to need all the help they can get. But everyone knows parents are peripheral, in fairy tales. And being peripheral is much harder than it seems. They'll do what they can. -- or, callis survives into the camelot years.
