Summary
[SPOILERS TO C4E18.]
“I never really thought about it before, but I think I might like pain,” Occtis tells him. “Maybe I even liked it before, but always got too lost in all the other feelings the world had to offer to notice it. But now it’s the only feeling that I have. So I think I want to… possess it. To hold it in my hand and do with it how I see fit.”
It occurs to his social brain that every word of that confession was more alarming than the last, but it has only served to turn Julien’s expression into something avaricious and gleaming. “My ribs are still quite bruised,” he murmurs. “Be my guest.”
Occtis takes a moment to sort through his thoughts on the matter. He can hear voices from the women’s tent, but they sound faraway and untroubled.
“Your pain tolerance is good,” he decides aloud. “I trust you not to make any sound.”
“Of course I can be quiet,” Julien assures him in a honeyed tone. He assumes a more relaxed pose, resting comfortably on his side. “Go on, then. What are you waiting for? I despise cowardice in all its forms—so don’t disappoint me.”

Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.
What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.
The answer was probably a solid "both".
All of my organic parts told me to run.
Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.
Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
Gender: fem-neutralI shoved the feed ID at ART.
The negotiator?, it asked.
She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.

Summary
In a world ripped apart by a magical calamity, Phae Seabridge is invited to a lonely castle on an isolated island and asked to birth an heir for a dying bloodline. Everything has been arranged by the owner of the castle, a mysterious woman known Keeper Alida.
Alida insists that Phae is the only person who can help her keep the lineage alive. If she does this, all of Phae’s family debts will be paid for good, and she can live the rest of her life in comfort and peace. But the real cost of accepting this deal might be too high a price for anyone to pay, as Phae learns.
Because the baby she’s meant to carry? It isn’t human.

Summary
Four years ago, Olive Morsov fell in love with a ghost.
Ghost was, of course, a misnomer. Olive was under no delusions that the girl was anything other than dead and gone. She attributed no creaks in the night to wandering spirits, didn’t moon cow-eyed over Ouija boards that spelled achingly slow love letters by her own twitching hand.
She was a rational girl. She understood that Alana Westwood was dead— murdered almost fifty years ago in Catastrophe, brutalized by a man still at large. Maryland’s Black Dahlia, whose case had swept the nation up in a serial-killer paranoia that refused to die out.That, maybe, was what caught her eye in the first place.

Summary
A broken, disillusioned Steve Rogers is afflicted by a delusion that the mysterious assassin who nearly killed him is actually his best friend, who died 70 years ago. SHIELD wants to lock him up and return him to being a perfect, sparkling nationalist symbol as quickly as possible. Sam Wilson, who has wrestled with his own disillusionment and his own ghosts, knows that Steve needs compassion and the support of a true friend, not a forced regime of recovery that takes away what is left of his shattered autonomy.
Meanwhile, as Natasha tries to track down the Winter Soldier, her discoveries get more and more disturbing. She uncovers footage of the Soldier being subjected to, and forced to commit, horrific acts to maintain Hydra's cruel hierarchy. What's more, his resemblance to Steve's dead friend is too close to be coincidence. Sam and Natasha grow determined to stop the Soldier from being recaptured by his abusers, but how will Steve react when he learns the true extent of the Soldier's torture, and the true horror of what he was twisted into?
Is the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes? Or is he a thing wearing Bucky Barnes's face?
Which of those things is worse?

Summary
"I thought you'd be a better kisser."
Cooper glared as he couldn't bring himself to give a fuck about her feelings. She'd as good as ignored his so far. "Pardon?"
"Just -- the kiss. Didn't really..." Lucy narrowed her eyes at him. "I grew up watching your movies. My dad is a big fan. I always figured you'd be a good kisser, but you aren't."

Summary
Occtis had learned, that he didn't much care for the taste of blood.
On a surface level, it still deeply repulses him. The heavy tang of metal in his mouth, viscous and congealed as it sticks to his gums, seeps between his teeth.
Like this, however, he hardly even notices. Blood becomes a different kind of trivial necessity, something which he himself no longer has, and thus, simply has to get from somewhere else.
From someone else.

Summary
“Oh,” Mensah said.
I followed her gaze to her lion daemon. Sadik was so large he took up most of the rug and dwarfed the coffee table where, I realised with a jolt, my own little beast had been hiding.
I rounded the coffee table. Beast had buried itself deep in Sadik’s mane, pressed up against his neck. It blinked back at me slowly, almost smug, and then pressed even further against Sadik. Another fission of heat ran through my chest, like I’d been made to swallow hot coals.
