We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia-
At the Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are trained for one of two roles in their polarized society. Depending on her specialization, a graduate will one day run a husband’s household or raise his children, but both are promised a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings of the lower class. Daniela Vargas is the school’s top student, but her bright future depends upon no one discovering her darkest secret—that her pedigree is a lie. Her parents sacrificed everything to obtain forged identification papers so Dani could rise above her station. Now that her marriage to an important politico’s son is fast approaching, she must keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society, where famine and poverty rule supreme.
On her graduation night, Dani seems to be in the clear, despite the surprises that unfold. But nothing prepares her for all the difficult choices she must make, especially when she is asked to spy for a resistance group desperately fighting to bring equality to Medio. Will Dani cling to the privilege her parents fought to win for her, or to give up everything she’s strived for in pursuit of a free Medio—and a chance at a forbidden love?
Crier’s War by Nina Varela-
After the War of Kinds ravaged the kingdom of Rabu, the Automae, Designed to be the playthings of royals, took over the estates of their owners and bent the human race to their will.
Now, Ayla, a human servant rising the ranks at the House of the Sovereign, dreams of avenging the death of her family… by killing the Sovereign’s daughter, Lady Crier. Crier, who was Made to be beautiful, to be flawless. And to take over the work of her father.
Crier had been preparing to do just that—to inherit her father’s rule over the land. But that was before she was betrothed to Scyre Kinok, who seems to have a thousand secrets. That was before she discovered her father isn’t as benevolent as she thought. That was before she met Ayla.
Set in a richly-imagined fantasy world, Nina Varela’s debut novel is a sweepingly romantic tale of love, loss and revenge, that challenges what it really means to be human.

Another "flip a coin" case for me, but I'll go with "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?," because I'm still frustrated by the way "The Born-Again Identity" ended Sam's hallucinations arc. (Why would Chuck bring Cass back as an amnesiac in Jimmy Novak's body? Why does no one find it objectionable or even noteworthy that Cass kills something like a dozen demon hosts in a Hail Mary attempt to save Sam?)
"WUTM" isn't particularly near and dear to me, but it doesn't bug me the way "The Born-Again Identity" does. It's just a middling ep with a couple of cool scenes (Thor's hammer! Tattoo queen Linda Tran!) and a couple of borderline-stupid ones (the brothers knowing that Linda wouldn't die when her soul was removed; a backwards exorcism keeping a demon from leaving its host). I could've done without Samandriel's inexplicable shilling for Castiel, who didn't exactly show "too much heart" when he slaughtered his defeated enemies and a convention of motivational speakers, but it isn't a dealbreaker. Crowley gets the line of the night: "You think a guy named Buzz gets to go to space without a deal?"
Supernatural Battle of the Episodes!!
Born-Again wins again in another easy round? 2 more wins and it retires to The Hall of Fame!! Can it do it?
Chuck! What is the next challenge?
Chuck: I think this will be an easy one! Next up is What's Up Tiger Mommy?: We are introduced to the annoying Mrs Tran, Kevin's mom, who insists on tagging along with the boys to find the Tablet and tries selling her soul at Auction to save her son.

Woke Up This Morning [2]
@whitecrowns-blackthrones
So... what was the result of the argy bargy that came from the first meeting?
Well, good news, the Alliance is still on track, albeit not formalised, there was still much to sort out.
The bad news, Bowen has gone from permanent posting to indefinite assignment.
What's the two differences? There was more freedom in just being posted. To ensure that this all succeeds, that they can get through what is likely to come, it was basically pack your bags full of essentials and whatever and prepare for an indefinite stay in Camellia.
Not that it was a bad thing, depending on the accommodation, where he was staying, where he was working. He imagined either in one of the older looking buildings with the vintage character... or he could be housed in that big metropolis, a swanky office maybe. It was up to the powers that be of course, he had no say in that matter.
The reason he had to stay, was because of the notion that anything could happen, at any time. Attacks likely happened more at night than in the day, so as much as he could be here during the day, he also had to be at night as well. He was the best line of defence against what was to happen next. \ While there was an active terrorist threat, everyone had to be on alert. The X were ruthless, though in how they worked it wasn't too hard to predict who might be coming through next.
It was just a matter of how it was going to happen and when.
For the moment, he was busy typing away at his office, wherever that was in Camellia. At least he had a laptop with an internet connection that went back to Authrum and home, so he can still research and look things up while he conducted his work. One small mercy compared to the old typewriter back in Lobarr.
It was one of those times he wondered. What was Ann doing at this time?
#whitecrownsblackthrones#IC : Investigation Underway#WUTM#wasn't sure how to start this thought it'd be visiting Bowen and talking about the date maybe?#XD

“oh my god, get off,” she said calmly, yet the annoyance was thick in her tone as she pushed nate away from her and she stood up from the couch. “you need to stop being needy, i know i’m like, really hot, and have an amazing vagina but this is seriously ridiculous nate, we broke up you can’t just be all over me like this for fun,” she lectured him, wondering if he was even going to pay attention to what she was saying, or if he was but he would just ignore it and do what he wants anyways, because that’s how he usually was. “can we just sit and watch a movie like normal people? or is that not possible?”

True love is JB letting JS get away with being a little shit in the cooking part of WUtM. JS partnered with JB and insisted on putting cheese despite JB saying he doesn't want cheese in the ramen, made a fuss on whether or not the ladle JB brought was clean, told JB not to eat anything if he's just gonna complain, JB shi, 2 cheese vs 4 cheese, and the best part JB Pogley. The look on his face when JS said that. He entered the 5 stages of grief lol. He sounded in pain when he agreed on the name.
TBH LIKE THAT’S MY FAVE PART ABOUT THEIR WHOLE DYNAMIC????? Jaebum honestly lets Jackson get away with so many things that he wouldn’t allow anyone else to do to him. Skinship is a great example. No one can get all up into Jaebum’s space the same way Jackson can (at least not without being threatened or yelled at lmao). It’s Jaebum’s face of resignation that really gets to me too. Jaebum is helllllllaaa whipped for Jackson :’)

Woke Up This Morning [1]
@appleofintelligence
“Uhhhhhh...”
Geez he felt like crap.
After some sleep in the hospital, the blonde’s eyes would open. The sun seemed to be just coming up outside of his window. Many questions entered his head as he looked out, while his memory came back to him on previous events from before.
What time is it? Is he still in Intelligence? How long had he been out for? Has anyone been notified of his whereabouts.. or what had just happened before?
Of course, there were other thoughts too, the most prominent being, thoughts of Ann.. and what she could be doing right now... does she know?
Then there was another niggling thought, coming to him. That was the X that he just faced, wasn’t it? That was at Intelligence station, wasn’t it? That meant... it was on Intelligence soil.... the X is on Intelligence soil..
“Ah... crap.”
His mind’s now thinking back to that time he had lunch with Ann’s family and that whole talk about diplomacy and enemies... oh joy...
This is going to be fun....

Got Yourself A Gun - Prologue
@appleofintelligence
It was nearing Midnight. The railway station was almost quiet, save for one train, still at one of the platforms. A three car, stainless steel electric set, making up the last train of the night. Most of the trains that ran to this station were electric. Diesels were considered banned unless either in an emergency or by special agreements for one-off occasions.
A set of footsteps would almost silently grace the platform, an individual walking alongside the train, along the whole length of the train. Blonde hair, blue eyes, grey uniform with tie. A whistle around his neck and a pair of flags in his arms, green and red. It was Bowen Chuuno.. and he was about to dispatch the last train for the night.
In recent times he had been getting accustomed to his new posting, here in Intelligence. For a brief period too, he was taking extra work with the STA, not in terms of his usual railcar driving, but on station duties, mostly in the evenings, after his work with the Ministry had finished. Most of the time of course he would go and spend as much time with Ann as possible, but when she was busy, he would end up here, working for a little bit more money.
Once he reached the end of the train, he turned around, facing the front, facing the driver. Standing on the platform with his eyes on the nearest clock. His hand would pop the whistle in his mouth, observing as the time ticked closer to departure.
When the time reached 30 seconds to departure, he would blow his whistle, loud and long, the standard departure sound for trains that weren’t of express priority, like the Super Express. This was just a normal train, the last one for the night, most likely running all stations to Lobarr in Authrum.
Then, when the time would tick to departure, he would blow the whistle again one last time, before preparing the flags in his hands, dropping the green one down to signal right away to the driver. With a wave, the driver would close the doors.. and the train would be on it’s way. The blonde would wave to the driver as the train passed him, observing it as it left the platform.. on it’s way. With that, the last train had gone.. and therefore the station would be closed for the night.
The blonde would make his way back to the station concourse, to put the flags away and his whistle back in his bag. There was still a bit to do.. paperwork, cleaning, just a few small things, while also locking doors and the like, before heading home.
One can lose track of time when performing such duties. It had been a good 15-20 minutes since then and he was at it with a broom, sweeping the concourse. Everybody else had gone home, entrusting him to lock up. There weren’t even any security guards on duty. Security cameras tended to take care of that job at this time, as did the motion sensors.
Suddenly, a sound filled his ears, the sound of movement.. like there was someone else here apart from him. That wasn’t a good sign... he was supposed to be the only person left.
More sounds of movement.. followed by... blips.. buzzings? Computer like sounds? He had heard those sounds before.... many.. many times before...With wary eyes, did he make his movements slow, but not obvious, sweeping to one of the stations walls.. slowly putting the broom to one side... and reaching for his IDND.
And he reached for it just in time...
For in that moment, out of seemingly everywhere, a dozen, maybe two dozen black-suited figures, with machine-like hands and faces, descended upon him.. all with guns, all of them firing upon him... just as he leaped out of the way, rolling to a hiding place while taking a few pot shots at some of them, all at their main weaknesses, their heads. Each successful shot to the head was met with an explosion, along with that particular individual dropping to the floor, like it had been killed.
Luckily, the place he had hid to had another hallway, a way around. He wasn’t going to leave with all those assailants still in there, no, he had to take them all out. He went right around, first at speed, but when he made it around, now behind them all, he had to be slower, sneakier, to ensure they could not hear them. They were machines, but when it came to sensing people, they were as dumb as doorknobs.
Five shots, quick succession, before another barrel roll and firing more, more heads exploding, one by one, while the others turned to start firing. Again he would be back on his knees, but this time at inhuman speed up the walls and cieling, the trail of bullets trying to catch up to him. At such speed, he fired more shots, more beings exploding into pieces. The intense, quick firefight would continue, but Bowen would not receive a single wound. He was too quick for them, he was always too quick for them. He had been dealing with them too many times already to outrun their bullets.
It came to the point where there was only four left. It almost seemed like his work was done... when out of nowhere... a grenade stopped him in his tracks. It didn’t come from any of the assailants in front of him... and it forced him to go into a different direction, to jump hard, out of the way.. and into a ticket office, just as it blew up, the resulting explosion sending smoke and debris everywhere.
When the smoke had cleared, the blonde kept himself against a wall, turning on occasion to see where the assailants were, but then another voice would fill the area... one he would also recognise.
“Give yourself up, Chuuno! You’re surrounded!”
...Bazuko..... The intelligent android that was stolen from the Ministry and converted for uses of crime by the X, a terrorist organisation bent on taking down the United Government. That would also explain the robotic assailants, for they all tend to be associated with them.
“I wouldn’t say I’m surrounded, the four is all you have left!”
“Four may be enough to ring you in, just come quietly and don’t make this harder than it already is.”
To which a swift response was met.. by him shooting another one of the assailants down.. in the same fashion... now there were three.. not including the supposed individual leading today’s suicide group. The immediate retaliation was somewhat seemingly endless gunfire, bullets flying everywhere, an immense amount of holes exposing the office. The blonde would move quickly, to strategic areas, to pick off the remaining assailants, one by one, bit by bit, little by little, whenever he had such an opportunity... until there was one left... Bazuko.
In anger, Bazuko picked up and threw another grenade, right into the office, exposing the blonde as he jumped out, another barrel roll of firing as the office exploded. This time he wasn’t aiming for Bazuko’s head, he was aiming for his hands, shoulders and legs. Such shots were again in quick succession, rendering his body parts useless pretty quickly.
Bowen waited for a few seconds, as if observing the now motionless humanoid, before rushing over to kneel beside it.
“Bazuko.. listen to me. This isn’t what you’re supposed to do. You belong with the Ministry of Science. You were created for good purposes, not some toy to be used for the proceeds of crime!”
But the humanoid wouldn’t listen.
“Your real name is Zingwell! What, don’t you remember your true purpose? Did they wipe you of your previous memories completely?”
But the humanoid would instead grin, before the blonde would sigh and place his IDND to the humanoid’s head.
“...Guess I’ll just have to take you back and have them reprogram you from scratch...”
But that got a laugh out of the humanoid, who’s eyes would open to look at the blonde.
“You don’t get it....” It sneered.
To which Bowen’s eyes would widen a bit... “What?”
The humanoid laughed again, starting right at Bowen.
“Your stupid compassion for robots makes for a good exploit.”
“.....Wh-”
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
There were no more words, for he was caught up in the explosion at point blank range, sent flying across the station, hitting the floor hard. The blonde was naive to think that Bazuko would not have been planted with a self-destruct mechanism and extra explosives to lull the male’s tendency to help others.
It took him a little bit of time, but he was able to get up.. slowly, but surely... to reach for another office and sound the alarm. A duress signal, that would bring help along the way eventually.
All he could do now is sit by the wall, with his cuts, bruises, burns and other injuries.. hoping that attention would come sooner.. rather than later.
What he had yet to realise though, in spite of all this... was that this was only just the beginning....
