Maki stepped closer, uncertain, hands hovering awkwardly. “Nicholas,” he said quietly, “are you saying you’re… pregnant?”
Nicholas nodded, sobbing harder.

Summary
“The official street name is Felix, but Muggles have been calling it ‘Charlie’s cousin’. It’s Muggle cocaine, cut with Felix Felicis. Highly addictive to Muggles and Wizards alike.”
Hermione is working undercover for the Ministry, tasked with exposing the leader of a prolific drug ring that has been dealing potion-laced narcotics to Muggle officials. To her great displeasure, it is going to take 8-inch pleasers, and a couple gallons of Polyjuice to meet him.
The identity of the Kingpin is an inconvenience at best, turning downright calamitous when he begins to fall for Hermione in disguise. With the statute of secrecy hinging on the capture of the Kingpin, all Hermione must do is reveal his identity. The only trouble? She might be falling for him too.

Summary
On Earth Bet, a young man awakens with a blank slate for a past, yet finds himself inexplicably flooded with advanced knowledge in biology, magic and technology—insights far beyond anything he ever thought he could comprehend or invent. Coupled with his mysterious capacity to traverse universes in search of resources, he seems to have all he needs. However, his existence quickly turns precarious as he becomes the target of local factions who pursue him for what he is.
As he navigates this hostile new world, he must decide whether to rise above and become more than what they accuse him of being or allow the burgeoning might at his fingertips to steer him towards a more dubious moral ground. Will his newfound abilities be a force for good, or will they ultimately corrupt him, transforming him into the very monster they claim he is? The path he chooses will shape not just Earth Bet, but potentially the Multiverse itself.

She wanted out. She wanted release. She thought about grabbing a knife from the drawer and slashing her wrists right in Judy's bathtub.
Instead, she made herself some coffee.

Summary
There's a lonely grave in secluded wilderness. Kokuryu Kirika: white coat, curled hair, red lipstick, and designer heels— stands with a ridiculously large bouquet of white roses.
She bends down. Sets the bouquet at the grave. And stares at the blank stone.
Her thumb pricks once on her nail.
An old tavern, in west Germany. Smoke. Liquor. And drunk men. The old woman across Haru grins at him.
Haru unclutches his Rolex. Sighs. And tosses it into the middle.
All in. He says. As always.
And rolls the dice.
In other words:
Haru realises he'd been leashed. All along.
Kirika realises she'd been deceived. All along.And they both learn that, owning, and keeping are two different things.
In other words: This is that once, they played dice with "god".

Summary
His vision wavered, completely out of time from when he turned his head.
That doesn’t feel right.
Battat felt himself frown, turning his body to continue looking around the hall, eyes squinting as if it would change anything.
Same thing again, if anything giving him a sense of vertigo.
This and starting to get lightheaded, he placed a hand against the wall to steady himself, as if the ground could give out any moment.
“You’re such a good pal Mike, and these massages you started up recently, really!” Tenna pushed the door open, looking over before tilting his head. “Mike?”
His mouth turned dry, standing there before turning to look up at his boss.
Okay, not even a metaphor, his mouth literally felt like he suddenly wasn’t producing saliva.
