Summary
“Why did you pursue librarianship?” Viktor inquires, seemingly opening up. “Heimerdinger repeatedly emphasized that you were a brilliant scientist in the making during your studies. You could have been a professor or a researcher.”
Jayce looks at the floor and smiles crookedly in thought for a moment.
“I suppose I could have,” he begins. “Some people do it as a springboard for that. Or because they’re very detail-oriented, organized, whatever, and they like putting things in order. But I sort of fell in love with the concept of the library when I was studying. I love that it’s a place of possibility, for anyone.” He looks back up at Viktor, ears heating up for the third time today. It’s really getting embarrassing. But he is passionate about this, and he finds himself unable to stop talking.
“It’s the very principle of the institution, making knowledge and understanding accessible and digestible. Anyone can come to the library and learn something.” Jayce’s hands gesticulate firmly around him, stressing his words.
“And it’s up to librarians to continue cultivating that space. I want to do that. I want to bring knowledge to the world.”

Summary
Relationships change over time. First impressions don't last forever. And sometimes that guy in your history class who seems so deadset on proving that he was better than you- knows more than you- can be the best thing that's ever happened to you
Freshman year had been going swell for Anya Forger. All was swell- except for the little prick that was in her history class. She didn't even know he was in her class until they were paired up for a group project together. He was arrogant, a know it all, and thought he was some scion of society. She was going to bring him back down to earth if it was the last thing she did. So why could she not stop riling him up?
Damian hated college. He hated every single one of his classes. He hated his roommates. But most of all, he hated Anya Forger. She was chaotic and bubbly and drank the sweetest coffee with way too much whipped cream. He couldn't wait until the project was over so she could be out of his life and no closer than six feet away. But why could he not let her go?

Summary
Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair.
The first time they met, those are not their names.
They wear different faces, live other lives, yet something older than time keeps dragging them together. Always. Again and again, they orbit each other. Destined to fall. As rivals, as strangers, as lovers, as ghosts. Yet, again and again, they are torn apart.
She chases her across centuries, through time and place. Ten, twenty, a hundred lifetimes. Each ending is the same. Always surrendering in some new way, always wondering: is this the last time? Is that really you?
Always, she will find her. Again. And again. And again.
Or: Wednesday Addams cannot seem to shake the visions that have begun to plague her. Instead of dark glimpses of the future, she is flung into strange depictions of other lives. The worst part, Enid seems to be the common thread.
A reincarnation AU.
