    Summary

    [His coffee steams beside him. Then doesn’t. Then does again. He drinks it. It’s saltwater. It burns the cuts on his tongue, the blade in his hand, his feet at the edge of a—

    Overhead, a light flickers in a pattern he can almost match to the sixth signal. He counts the pulses on his fingers, mouthing something as he stares up—“Two long. One short. Then the gap.”—The thrum is almost overwhelming: A heartbeat? No. A gate.

    The board resets when he turns away.

    The spiral becomes a waveform. Expands into a topograph: a mouth.

    He thinks: The mouth is trying to say something. It’s saying it backward.

    He tries to repeat it back. His voice plays back to him in reverse, magnetic tape spooled wrong. The room trembles. The floor tilts, just slightly, toward—

    The Wound.

    But they didn’t call it that yet. Not then.]

    or,

    Given the choice between rotting in prison or being launched into the black, disgraced astrophysicist Dr. Jayce Talis opts for the jump to Sector E3-R212—The Wound—a puzzling region at the edge of the Boötes Void that should be empty, but isn’t—chasing the echoes that destroyed his life in the first place.

    Summary


    “You have a toothbrush in my bathroom,” Joonghyuk says, and before Dokja can open his mouth to retort or before Sooyoung can even process what the fuck is up with that, actually, Joonghyuk is going on, “You have your own closet in my room because you don’t go back to your place enough to change, not to mention your books. Name one time in recent memory when you’ve slept in your own bed.”

    Telling silence is his answer.

    “Okay,” says Dokja after a moment. “You may have a point.”

    Han Sooyoung wingmans her best friends.

    Summary

    Yoo Sangah has never hated someone so much. You’d think that would make it easier to kill them.

    “What is this shit?” Han Sooyoung sighs, shoving the book back in its place on the shelf. “Lady, this isn’t the sort of stuff I care about. Haruki Murakami? Do I look like a normie to you?”

    Yoo Sangah. Has never. Hated. Someone. So much.

    Zhao Yunlan's fingers tease open the buttons over Shen Wei’s belly. As he undoes them, one finger brushes against the cold skin under the cotton and Shen Wei sucks in a breath. Zhao Yunlan chuckles. “Is Brother Black ticklish?”
