Summary
John Lennon, tired dad, walking disaster, expert at all things inappropriate, is just about desperate enough to take the first job that’ll have him. He doesn’t expect it to land him inside the polished office of Apple Corps, wrangling calendars and crises. And he definitely doesn’t expect his new boss to be bloody millionaire Paul McCartney, charming, infuriating, and far too good at making John forget he’s supposed to be working.
Somehow he ends up as a personal assistant, a job he’s wildly unqualified for, except maybe in sarcasm and showing up late. Between flat whites, childcare, and more longing than he'd ever like to admit, John discovers that working for Paul might be the biggest mess of his life… and somehow, the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

Summary
The world is thrown into chaos as zombies emerge, the peace of everyday life vanishing in an instant.
Kakashi wasn’t made for the apocalypse. His fear of blood and germs – born from past trauma – hold him back, despite what’s at stake: friends, his family. But survival doesn’t wait for you to be ready.
Sasuke was born into it. Safe behind iron walls, protected from the horrors outside, he has everything he could ever need. But safety doesn’t also mean certainty, and growing up in a world already broken doesn’t mean it can’t break you.
And Naruto? Naruto could walk amongst the undead. Hunted by those who see him as humanity’s salvation – or their own – his gifts could either be their greatest hope… or their biggest downfall.

Summary
nováárie fawley is the last of her kind. born of a union between a vulcan diplomat and a celestial healer , she has spent her life hidden—tucked away in an unfamiliar world, her true nature concealed beneath a bracelet that masks her identity.
for the celestials were never meant to survive. their gift — the ability to heal , to give life , to share energy in ways that could bring even the dying back from the brink — was their undoing. they gave too much. they fought too little. the universe devoured them.
but nováá is different. her vulcan blood makes her gift finite —every act of healing takes from her , leaves her marked. andwhile her people died with mercy on their lips , nováá carries a quiet , simmering defiance.
when hunters come for her — dragging her from her home , tearing her from her father’s arms — nováá is thrust into the brutal world of the slave trade , her body and her gift priced ; bartered in dark corners of the galaxy. yet — fate has other plans.
it is there , in the heart of her captivity , that nováá crosses paths with the crew of the enterprise. and for the first time in her life — she begins to see the quiet , and the truth that perhaps. this is where her life truly begins. -

Summary
“Look, Lando. I get people might not want to be super close friends with the guy with a boyfriend already. Whatever. I think it should be easier to be friends with me, because then there’s no like, weird feelings or confusion or anything. I’m already dating someone. Nice and easy.”
“Jesus Christ, Oscar. Is that your, like, official business pitch to be my mate or something?”
“Maybe.”
“Well you sucked at it.” Lando laughs, “But I accept. I’ll shake on it and everything.” Lando extends a hand, and Oscar takes it. “Is this always how you make friends? I like it though. Just as long as I didn’t sell my soul, or something.”
“You did, actually. Eternal damnation in exchange for a friendship with Oscar Piastri.”
“Sounds like a good deal to me.”
When Lando and Oscar meet at Alex's party, they are just friends-- Oscar has a boyfriend, and Lando has just healed from old wounds. But lying to themselves will only work for so long, especially when you add meddling friends, a weird little brother, two unexpected job offers, and the sandwich that killed Elvis into the mix.

Summary
Everybody knew she hated him, and everybody thought they knew why. The most common among the rumours was the most obvious:
Emotional vs Logical
But they would be all wrong; she envied him for it.Yolene Hyde was a 25-year-old woman who preferred the company of other people's problems and had worked as a psychiatrist for a few years on the mainland. When she got an offer from Boy Kavalier himself, one she couldn't refuse, she was whisked away to Neverland. Where she met HIM. The synthetic: Krish. A 'man' who was built on pure Logic and mathematical calculations. She was everything she was supposed to be: a model employee who had a good balance between emotions and logic, kept her head down and nodded along to whatever her boss wanted, at least on the surface. Underneath. Underneath, something slithered and crawled beneath her skin. It was cold. it was dark, and it was vicious.
She was broken, splitting at the seams, while He was perfect; he was CONTROL.
