    Summary

    Noelle Holiday is entering her final year of High School. It's been four years since her sister's death. She's on her way to the fanciest college her parents can get her into, to get a degree in...something. Her father's in the hospital. She can't stop letting people talk over her. And finally, Noelle is hopelessly in love with another girl, and it's only a matter of time until her mother finds out.

    Susie Sauria is entering her final year of High School. Susie knows that she's never going to be able to make anything of her life. She has one (1) friend, and is reasonably sure they'd ditch her if given the chance. She's teetering on the poverty line. Her father's a jackass. She wants to move out, but that would require her to have a place to go afterwards. And finally, Susie is stuck getting tutored by the smartest girl in her class, and it's only a matter of time until that too falls apart.

    At the moment, they couldn't be more different. But through heartache and hardship, they'll find themselves inexorably drawn together. A lot can happen in one school year, and this is one that they're sure to never forget.

    Summary

    On graduation day, Kotone Shiomi fell asleep on a rooftop in the arms of a friend.

    Two weeks later, on March 19th 2010, she woke back up, hand held by a stranger.

    (Or, what if the seal could be formed just from bonds, and a wild card was left without any memories of what had been sacrificed?)

    Summary

    Okay. Time to order. That’s what normal people did. Order something.

    Her eyes dart to the board. Words she doesn’t speak live up there. Cappuccino. Macchiato. Americano. Americano? Did it look like they were in America? She should ask. But her pride is gnawing and ridiculous and it claws at her throat. She doesn’t want to be taught. Not by him. Not right now.

    “Just… plain coffee!” she says.

    His eyebrow raises slightly. “Drip?”

    She doesn’t know what that means. She decides it means yes. “Mm.”

    ----

    In which Shinjiro runs a coffee shop, and Kotone opens a flower store across the way.

    Summary

    A second chance.

    She supposed that’s what it was. Nothing changed, really. She still talked to the same people, said the same things, fought the same fights… she knew it was wrong to complain. Coming back after dying should’ve felt like a miracle, and sometimes, it really did. She supposed everything had a downside, though. It would all have to end eventually.

    She remembered how her story began, and how it ended. Igor’s sentiment rang true in her head. Memento Mori: Remember that you will die.

    Or:

    Minako has a nightmare, and she goes to find comfort in her favorite person.
