Summary
It’s so quiet in the war room that you could hear a pin drop. Not a single person dares to say a word - not even the favored princes - and all eyes remain fixed on the head of the table, where a large figure sits hunched over in its chair, clutching the latest newsreel between two massive fists.
Having been forewarned of some of the contents of said newsreel, Sanji does his best to keep anything from showing on his face, to maintain his expression in an implacable facade. He thinks he largely succeeds in controlling himself outwardly, but inwardly his gut is churning with emotion.
The newsreel twitches, and the five people not holding the paper sit up a little straighter in their seats, each of them bracing for impact without actually meaning to as slowly, oh so slowly, the paper is lowered down until it’s resting flat on the table.
“Well,” Judge says, his mouth working like he wants to spit. “This is certainly an … unexpected development.”

Summary
Once was a mistake. Twice was a pattern. Three times would make him a murderer.
Peter had made a number of mistakes in his life. Terrible, tragic mistakes, and all of them started and ended with Spider-Man. So he hung up the mantle and for five years, tried to think of anything but the gaping, Spider-Man-shaped hole in his life.
For five years, alone in the worst of ways, he tried to exist only as Peter Parker.
For five years, Peter Parker told himself that New York was better off without the Webbed Menace™️.
And it worked! Peter may have been alone, but he wasn’t lonely. He wasn’t haunted by his failures. He was still helping people - doing Aunt May proud. He’d moved on. He was doing Fine.
Until a failed kidnapping, a leather-clad mercenary, and a woman on the hunt for her long-lost brother drag Peter back into the familiar world of vigilante justice. And this time, Peter doubted the superhero life would let him go.

Summary
"You sold me to Akielos."
The battle of Marlas comes to an end fizzling on uncertain terms when the victory Auguste earned fails to prove as decisive as he'd first thought. With his father dead and the crown unexpectedly placed upon his brow, sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Auguste cannot establish his rule and continue this pointless war at the same time - not without a high price in bodies and time and gold. Peace must be established, quickly, and it has to be the kind that lasts. Laurent will understand. Sometimes, duty and honor must take precedence over personal preference.
