Summary
“Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”
Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.
“I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”
When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.
Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.
Probably.

Eddie Kaspbrak, Office Uncle Extraordinaire by kyaticlikestea

Summary
Eddie has a surprising amount of muscle definition going on in the forearm region. Jamie has witnessed, on four separate occasions, someone do a double take at Eddie’s forearm. Karen from HR still bears the nickname ‘Mugbreaker’ after Eddie turned the corner near her office, coming face to face with her just as he rubbed a hand through the hair at the nape of his neck, exposing the wiry flex of muscle between wrist and elbow, and Karen famously dropped a cup of coffee all over the floor. Ergo, either Eddie goes to the gym, or he’s on steroids.
Eddie is the kind of man who keeps a makeshift itemised medicine cabinet in his third desk drawer, with a padlock on the handle, the key for which he keeps in the inside pocket of his suit jacket, and who administers a library style check-out system of medication whenever anyone asks for a Paracetamol.
Eddie is probably not on steroids.
Eddie's coworker finally convinces him to bring his elusive spouse to an office party. It goes about as well as you might expect, which is to say spectacularly.

Summary
"Cut the shit," Calligan grits out. "I know it's you, you son of a bitch. You—what the fuck were you—you fucking psycho, you—"
He's crossed three-quarters of the room. Bubonic's hands are still up, and his heart is pounding, and the mouth of Calligan's gun is sliding beneath his chin, blunt cold pressure; and he says, slowly, "You remember."

Summary
Munson's complete inability to stay still does not pair well with explicit instructions not to bend or stretch excessively, and to take it easy walking and carrying things. All of which Steve catches him doing on a daily basis.

Summary
They're sitting on his couch, each with a glass of the wine Sara poured for them. The camera is rolling, propped on the coffee table, and he's been mysteriously quiet for too long before he asks,
“Have you ever heard of CNC?”
Sara raises her eyebrows at him and takes another sip of her wine. Something tells her he’s not talking about automating machine tools.
“No,” Sara lies, just to fuck with him. “What's that?”
