Summary
“A woman standing alone on a windswept shore, the icy waves crashing against the rocks at her feet, spraying her hair with salt. A daughter, chasing dreams of power and justice. A leader flying to war, her army following close behind. A sister seeking knowledge of her past, hoping to protect her family. The red strings of fate tied fast to an island, windswept and battered, lit by a red sun.”

Summary
Mostly canon power, with a twist.
After patrolling with Shadow Stalker, Skitter loses control and is brought into the Wards as a probationary member. It goes exactly as well as you might think. Character-centric.

Summary
Taylor Hebert is dead.
Probably.
She woke after the locker in a version of Brockton Bay Central Library that does not exist, surrounded by books made of data and a city built from networks. As far as Taylor can tell, she is haunting the internet.
It could be worse, the Library is quiet, and the books are endless. If she ignores the loneliness, she can almost pretend this is peace.
Then curiosity leads her through a door she was never meant to open, and something vast turns its head.
Taylor thinks a dragon is hunting her.
Dragon thinks she has discovered a newborn artificial intelligence—frightened, alone, and running for its life.
Neither of them understands what Taylor has become. But Dragon has never been very good at leaving frightened children alone.

Summary
It's difficult to imagine how often we appear in the background of other people's lives. How many memories we feature in; how many stories told where we barely rate a mention. Just that girl who tripped over the curb and spilled her coffee. That guy dozing off in the corner of the restaurant. That car that cut that turn closer than they should've.
Everyone's the hero of their own story, but we're all just extras in everyone else's.
Everyone, except for me.
Memory is such a fickle thing, to be so important. Change it, edit it, rearrange it, and who's to say what's real, at all?

Summary
Taylor Hebert's no Shadowrunner, just a talented technomancer who spends her days doing petty Matrix jobs. Then a crew of runners in need of a tech expert reaches out to her with an offer too profitable to refuse, and she discovers that for someone with her gifts, there are much better - and riskier - ways to pay the rent.
