    Summary

    The Z-Team is being sent on a short-term work trip. The only problem is that the destination is hours away… and the way carpooling ended up having Flambae, Prism, and Waterboy crammed into Robert’s shitty little Honda Civic… and whatever weird combination of flirting, bonding, and bullying each other is going on in the passenger seats. Not to mention Waterboy’s surprising taste in music.

    This was going to be a long drive… especially when that work trip was to a conference being held by the Salt Lake City SDN— and considering how many PR nightmares they’d already caused? Things were only downhill from here.

    Summary

    Not to brag, but Techno's a pretty great mechanic. And not just because his human hands have multiple dexterousness fingers. His skills have gotten him pretty far in the universe. Further than most humans can ever make it.

    Almost literally, since humans can't survive faster than light travel.

    With the near infinity of space, that little biological fact limits the mobility of their entire species. But, as humans tend to do, they have spent all their experience points on brains over functional bodies. Thus, a solution was created: cryopods.

    Cryosleep makes it possible for Techno to travel through space, and his skills make it actually worthwhile for a ship's crew to even bother with him. It's going pretty well, all things considered. If only his body realized how critical it was not to get oh-so sleepy and achy after being frozen alive and thawed out. It really throws a wrench in his productivity.

    Techno is a human on a mixed species spaceship with Phil, Wilbur, and Tommy. All four crew members contend with the effects of popsicle-ification. Thawing procedure is most optimal with shared body heat, copious fur petting, and sugary offerings.

    Summary

    Alastor was a good man because his mother raised him to be one. After an unfortunate accident involving a couple of rabid hunting dogs, Alastor ascends to Heaven and quickly comes to learn that there has been a mistake - his mother has been sent to Hell and he must find a way to rescue her.

    Except Heaven isn’t what it pretends to be and Alastor hides in Hell, away from the angels that turned him into a murderer. Hell is a ruthless place but Alastor meets Vox; a charming demon who steals his heart. Vox would never betray him, right?

    Husk steps in to mend Alastor’s broken heart, but Alastor should have learned that demons can’t be trusted. If he wants to find his mother, he needs to do it alone, yet that becomes rather tricky when Heaven’s top angels want his head.

    Can Vox and Husk put aside their differences long enough to be his unlikely heroes?

    Summary

    Hands flutter around his neck. Kaminari feels like he’s on fire at every point of contact. Through the ice on his eyelids and the blur of pain, he makes out a face that leans in. He stares into deep, purple eyes for half a second, then the person is leaning away again. “You’re alive.” The voice repeats. Hands brush snow from him before they gently snake under his unmoving body. “Don’t be afraid,” It says, soft now, “You’ll be okay.”
