    Summary

    Statistically speaking, Otter should have died three missions ago.

    Or

    “Otter,” said Morino Ibiki, voice like gravel soaked in sake. “Do you know why you’re here?”
    Otter blinked, eyes innocent beneath his cracked porcelain mask. “Free dental?”
    Ibiki didn’t blink. “Try again.”

    Or

    ANBU Otter might just be the most annoying operative to have joined the workforce.

    Summary

    Percy’s mother was nice, pretty, caring and terribly unlucky.

    Percy knew that. He knew that his mother had been through a lot, and he also knew that the tale she had told him, about parents that died in plane crashes and uncles that died of cancer, was not the truth. Or at least not the entirety of it anyway. He still remembered the one time he had found this book squashed somewhere in the last nook of the bookshelf. It was a deep green and when he opened it the name Saffine Riddle was written on the upper left corner in neat letters.
     

    Or: When a long forgotten letter resurfaces, secrets of the past start to unravel that might change the course of history forever.

    Or: The one in which Sally is Voldemorts runaway squib daughter, the Gods have beef with the wizards, Percy is going through divine puberty, English weather sucks even more than usual, Dumbledore is suspicious, the Golden Trio are surprisingly apt detectives, the Slytherins fancy themselves traditionalists, everyone is prone to joining cults and Snape is just trying to teach potions.

    Summary

    Sofia’s first loss to Cynthia hits her pride where it hurts.

    Not her ego; she doesn’t actually have much of one, not how interviewers like to imply when they ask her what being “one of Sinnoh’s best” feels like. She’s never wanted to be the very best, she can live with people being better than her.

    But a loss like this? One where she can see, visibly, measurably, that she could have done better? That’s the kind of thing that digs its claws in—deep enough to have her climbing up the stairs of Sinnoh’s Pokémon League as many times as it takes.

    OR:

    Five times Sofia battles Sinnoh’s Pokemon League Champion, and all the time outside of it she spends with the woman behind the title.
