    Summary

    It's been a year since Prince Langa smiled. The queen offers a reward to anyone who can fix that. Reki would give it a try, but he's pretty sure being the one who broke the prince's heart disqualifies him.

    “You’ve been quiet. Are you jealous?”

    Reki lurches up. “Jealous of what?”

    Miya’s brow angles impossibly higher. “Of all the attention the prince is getting?”

    Right, of course. That’s what anyone would be jealous over. “I just don’t believe it. Prince Langa isn’t…” he waves one hand, frowning, “...like that.”

    “Ha,” Miya crows. “Like you’d know.”

    But he does. And Reki thinks: I could do it. I could make him smile. I’ve done it before.

    Summary

    Scar had sounded friendly, over the comm. Delighted to hear Grian’s voice, the longing of a terraformer who’d been stuck away from living planets for ages creeping into his tone. Wait, Grian, are you coming in person? Can’t you stretch your delivery window a little? We could always say there were asteroid beasts trying to eat us. Etho would back me up, and it’s not like they could extend our contracts–

    If there’s asteroid beasts, I’m staying right in my pilot’s seat where I can flee them in style, Grian had retorted.

    No, no, only good things here, Scar had protested, the reports of beasts have been greatly exaggerated, and you know, we have algae, we all like algae, we’re all about eating your greens–

    Scar had aimed for Grian’s center of mass. His stunner had been set one level below lethal. If it had hit where he was aiming, Grian would’ve had worse heart palpitations than this, bordering on deadly. Trouble breathing.

    Certainly trouble escaping.

    Summary

    Nozaki has to come up with an idea for a special edition of Monthly Shoujo Romance, themed around fate and luck. He's drawing a blank. Sakura suggests some popular soulmate tropes and he dismisses them out of hand.

    After all - soulmate marks, the red string of fate - they could never happen in real life, right?
