In The Slip by F. D. Lee

SPSFC 2023

It takes a certain type of person to save the world, and Kong is not that person. Which is about to become a serious problem... Kong has been working as a Trans-Temporal Copyright Protection officer since he was fifteen years old, jumping through time to arrest people who threaten the status quo. And he's good at his job - the best. He's pretty certain he'll spend the rest of his life working cases until a bullet gets him or the time pressure finally crushes him. Or he might just medicate himself to death; that's always an option. The problem is, Kong doesn't believe in it anymore, whatever 'it' is. See enough of the past and you realise people keep making the same mistakes, again and again. It's not really so surprising he's lost hope. That is, until he meets a handsome stranger who changes the course of his life - and threatens to change the past, the present and the future of the human race. Now Kong must decide if humanity is still worth saving. And he needs to decide quickly because, for once, time is running out...

The Spindle Box: A Retelling of Pandora and Sleeping Beauty (The Fairmyth Chronicles) by Abigail Manning

Pandora meets Sleeping Beauty A Fairmyth Chronicles Short Story All Princess Twyla wants for her birthday is a box. Not a pillow, not a dress, and certainly nothing else that’s round. She wants a nice squared box with sharp edges so she can prove to both the king and her charming guard, Felix, that there's no reason for her to fear them. Now that Twyla is eighteen, she should finally be allowed to learn why the king insisted she grow up in a round tower with round furnishing. However, the king shows no interest in explaining himself to Twyla when he has other ambitions for her circular little world... Getting a box seems far less exciting when one learns they are already cornered. The Fairmyth Chronicles is a collection of clean interconnecting fantasy romance novels that can be read in any order.
