Summary
Commodore James Norrington did not believe in ghosts. He did not believe in mermaids, krakens, Davy Jones or his locker of legend. Sailors might be a superstitious lot as a whole, but James had little time for such foolishness. It only got in the way.
But when he comes face-to-face with Elizabeth Swann, who he saw lost to pirates at age 12, James is forced to reconsider his stance on the supernatural. And when she pulls him headlong into conspiracy, and as more that he'd thought gone forever rises from the dead, James begins to question everything else, too.

Summary
The House was a rose in the garden of the Empire, and the Empire watered its garden with blood.
It had been many long years since the last feeding. But the Empire did not let its roses wilt, and the House’s patience was rewarded one fine morning not long after the new Crawleys’ arrival, when Tom Branson arrived, young and bright and full of righteous dreams.
Oh, the House sighed when he appeared on the gravel drive. Love at first sight. Here is one just for me.

Summary
August, 1972. American ground troops pull out of Vietnam, with thousands more soldiers to follow. A communications hotline reopens between Seoul and Pyongyang for the first time since the Korean War. The Washington Post publishes the first article on what will become known as the Watergate scandal. And Florence Vassy and Freddie Trumper meet at the Marshall Chess Club in New York City.
As long as he lives, it will never occur to Freddie to feel silly for thinking their meeting as epic and historic as the world-changing forces at work that month. Because they changed the world too, didn’t they? He and Florence.
Vignettes across seven years of an increasingly fraught friendship, all slowly building up to the events of the musical.

Summary
Surely there were worse scrapes one might get himself into. Granby was quite certain in a week they would be shot of each other. Granby would be off on rotation to that Chanson-de-Guerre coming up from Austria, and Laurence would gratefully take on a pleasant and biddable lieutenant. If chance brought their formations to the same covet again, well, he certainly wouldn't begrudge his future self the opportunity to be dragged into a private corner.
