Summary
“If hockey was that important for geopolitics,” María deadpans, leaning across the table to stab another pelmeni with her fork. “The Chinese would’ve gotten into it by now. The Russians want international concessions, and this is a cheap trick to get it. To be completely honest—”
She dunks the pelmeni into her bowl. It almost looks like she’s drowning it when she twists the fork, coating it in fragrant orange soup. It almost looks like it’s a thrashing animal.
“—it’s really annoying me. From a purely tradecraft perspective, from one lawyer to another, it’s a cheap trick,” María continues, pelmeni between her teeth. “Canada isn’t even the country who’s detaining Russian arms dealers. That’s US shit. It’s fucking annoying.”
Shane doesn’t say anything. Shane’s looking at the pictures splayed across the table, face-up, and thinking about how if this all ends here, all Shane will have to show people when they ask about Ilya are six mugshots from when he was transferred from the Moscow jail to the Siberian penal colony, where his cheeks are hollowed out and his eyes are vacant.

Summary
Gabriel Agreste non ha accettato la fine; l’ha solo trasformata in un’ossessione.
Al suo fianco, Nathalie Sancoeur non è più una semplice segretaria: è l’ombra che regge il trono di un re in rovina, il soldato disposto a consumarsi pur di alimentare una speranza impossibile.
Mentre Adrien cerca la luce tra le crepe di una casa diventata una tomba, Nathalie scopre che il vero nemico non è il tempo, ma il prezzo della lealtà.
In questa sinfonia di segreti e piume spezzate, il confine tra amore e martirio svanisce… e qualcuno dovrà scegliere da che parte stare. -

This is a self-indulgent insert of my favorite OC into the world of ACoTaR written in a way that can be a reader insert of sorts~
The rewrite concept inspired me after reading 'The High Lady of Cunning' by slutsofren, so I highly suggest checking out their story as well! Oh, also enjoyed the story 'A Court of Readers and Dreamers' by InkStainedDesk and I recommend theirs as well! I just wanted to do something with my OC instead and focus a bit on the sisterly bond aspect as well as how tossing in another sibling might change things up.
I will be trying to update on Saturdays and Sundays, maybe with bonus days tossed in when I am feeling extra inspired!

Summary
Hizashi Yamada hadn't seen his old friend since high school. He hadn't seen him much before that either, not after what happened during their internship during their second year. The thing is, Hizahi still couldn't figure out what he had done to make his friend disappear on him. He'd spent many nights beating himself up about not knowing something he felt he should know.
That was eight years ago. Despite still not having a single answer to his sorry questions, Hizashi had learned to let go. Well, he had learned to let go of seeing his friend as his friend.
So when Hizashi had made his way to the library to drop off a book he had borrowed, he was caught off guard to see Aizawa standing at the entrance.
Standing at the entrance.. and calling out to him.
