NPC POV
Being the hero of the story is great and all, but what about everyone else? When the dust settles, what happens to the civilians and bystanders, the side characters and OCs? The world does not stop turning when a hero goes on a quest. What do the common people see in them?
A collection of my favorite stories detailing the lives of the mundane- all the people who don’t get stories of their own, and scenes of things that could have happened.

“Do you trust him?” Jim asked.
“Yes,” said Batman, unhesitating.
He didn’t know if he would ever like Red Hood. He didn’t know if he would ever be able to like working with him. He wanted to arrest the man. But if Batman trusted him, that would have to be enough for Jim.

Summary
It's those coffee eyes that you're drawn to. They dance like fingers on skin, a rhythm as constant as ocean waves that cascade down your spine even when you turn away.
The freckled stranger has been visiting your pub for three months now, drinking to forget the worst times.
You might be the person he needs to remember the best.

Summary
"I didn’t understand I wanted to live until Hatake Sakumo saved my life."
Having been (absurdly) reincarnated into a previously fictional setting, Yamada Hanako felt satisfied staying in the background-- this story was written before she arrived, and it would continue without her just the same. Unfortunately, she made a single, critical error: a bit part is still a part.
This... fucking sucks.

Summary
Dr. Mensah's interns are all pretty miffed that Dr. Mensah suddenly hired a new intern right after coming back from the Corporation Rim. That Dr. Mensah pays way more attention to the new intern than the rest of them makes it worse. Also, the new intern ignores the old interns whenever they try to talk to them, which somehow makes it even worse.
