Summary
To some, the return of magic is a miracle; to others, a catastrophe. But to physicist Julia Chen, it’s all a colossal headache. Now, she’s setting out across the wintry, post-apocalyptic landscape of Fairy-occupied Canada in search of answers. The subject of her inquiries: an enigmatic Fae known only as Mr. Elsevier, who seems to have power over matter and energy at the most fundamental level and who is willing to share this knowledge—for a price.
But Julia’s quest does not take place in a political vacuum. In Ottawa, the new Fairy Viceroy draws up her plans for the country, even as her puppet Prime Minister, Chuck Oakes, struggles desperately to protect his people. But rebellion is brewing, and Mr. Elsevier may just be the key to human victory.
Now, with the murderous politics of the Fae heating up, Julia will soon learn that, in sorcery as in science, simple questions can sometimes have very dangerous answers. She is on the cusp of ultimate knowledge: a theory of magic that would explain what has become of the world and how it can be reversed—but asking the wrong question may well unravel reality itself.

Summary
On the one hand, ‘Ben’ was the best babysitter Anakin had ever hired. He worked for free, was the main thing. But Anakin’s kids actually liked him. They ended the day with all the same limbs they’d started with. Anakin came home from work to four children doing their homework and (some sort of) dinner on the table. ‘Ben’ even made Anakin’s lunch every day. Oh, and he was really, truly, incredibly attractive. (Which shouldn’t matter. But it did, a little bit.)
On the other hand, neither he nor Anakin knew his real name, who he was, what he did for a living, if he already had a family waiting for him at home, or where ‘home’ even was. So that was a bit of a wrinkle.
Or, Obi-Wan has amnesia (of a fashion). It’s an Overboard AU.

Summary
Six years after Anakin fell in love with his tenth-grade history teacher, he returns to Temple High a fully-grown, college-degreed physics teacher ready to have a totally ethical relationship with Mr. Kenobi. With Obi-Wan. With the love of his life and his now colleague, Mr. Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Standing in his way are Obi-Wan's preconceptions of Anakin as a child, Anakin's own troubled past in Tatooine, and one hundred and sixty teenagers that apparently he needs to teach physics. True love has faced worse odds.
(True love has also faced better odds.)

Summary
They’re all sitting together around the fire, drinking. Anakin is just silently watching the men answer the question over and over, laughing along at some of the answers.
Then Waxer turns to him with a dangerous twinkle in his eyes.
“Kiss, Kill or Kriff General.”
