Summary
It’s a miracle, really. Not just that the Joining was reversed, but that there were little to no lingering side-effects after the year that to most just felt like a strange dream. No brain damage. No societal collapse. No mass trauma. It’s only been eight months, and the world is already back to some semblance of normal.
And don’t worry, Carol. The United States government will take excellent care of the botched science experiment we found living in your basement.

Summary
After only three months, they've done it: Manousos and Carol have found a way to cure the virus, or at least to dissolve that "psychic glue" that's binding everyone together and making them all smiley and accommodating all the time. Now they just have to test it.
And who better to try it out on than Carol's ex? Making Zosia an unwilling participant in their heroic science experiment seems like the best option, but maybe our heroes didn't think this one all the way through.

Summary
Raban is a brave, if inexperienced, young pirate sailing the high seas under a hardy captain and alongside a passionate crew. He is finally where he was always meant to be, and would gladly spend the rest of his life exploring the world and traversing the blue -- just so long as no one finds out that he's secretly a middle-aged woman.
A moment of dangerous heroism gets her into trouble, though, when she's thrown off her ship and into the depths of an angry sea in a strange land, only to be rescued by the most miserable mermaid in the world.

Summary
There wasn’t even a body to bury.
No body. No corpse to stuff and preserve and make pretty, to bury in a cemetery or a forest or in Carol’s backyard. Not even a carcass to incinerate on her own terms
Instead, only dust. And the memory of Helen’s twisted, smiling face as Carol thrust a piece of wood through her heart.
---
After novelist Carol Sturka is forced to drive a stake through the heart of her beloved wife, she devotes her days to ridding Albuquerque of its bloodsucker population once and for all. But this Zosia lady is strange and broken and very, very pretty. They can't all be that bad, right?
