    Summary

    Before the village became abandoned ruins on the Risen Road, people still prepared for Greengrass.

    Tessa Vale spends the day altering a ceremonial dress for the girl chosen to lead the spring procession. Around her, travellers leave without lingering, villagers reinforce cloaks for long journeys, and rumours spread faster than wagons through the square.

    Nobody officially says the village is dying.

    The dress still needs hemming.

    Summary

    “Look, I know we are on holiday right now,” Wyll begins. “No work. Just sight-seeing and relaxation. But…”

    Wyll gives him an absolute masterwork of a smile. It’s charming without being too pushy, the kind of smile that says, “If you tell me that you want to go back to our lodgings, I will of course respect your wishes and will dispatch these foul monsters quickly and without a fuss. However, if you do find it in your heart to allow me to indulge in a quick spot of theatricality just this one time, I would consider it a kindness, and one that will be repaid.”

    At least, that is what Astarion is choosing to interpret as the meaning of Wyll’s smile.

    “Go on,” Astarion says, magnanimous. “You know you want to.”


    With their wedding looming on the horizon, Wyll and Astarion decide to take a couple’s trip to spend time together and reconnect. Their holiday is supposed to be relaxing, fun, and low-pressure. It doesn’t entirely go according to plan.

    Summary

    Mogami stepped forward, slow and deliberate, like a boat built to cut through ice. She was shorter than Izuku, so she couldn't really tower over him, but that was the feeling she gave off when she leaned forward to inspect the table.

    "I got caught in the rain," Izuku said, "So—I'm trying to fix—the pages were sticking together, and—"

    "Oh!" Mogami yelped, and she dropped the carton. In half a second she had grabbed it again, turned it back right side up, but most of the contents had already spilled out over the drying papers.

    or, Midoriya is having a bad time and then things get worse

    Summary

    Pro Hero Deku is not that tall of a man… In a simple white t-shirt and khakis, he’s not imposing at all. His 14 year old son, though much scrawnier in frame, is only an inch or two shorter than him.

    Pro Hero Deku is not a cruel man. To the contrary, he cares too much, about all things at all times, about everyone and everything he can save if only it could come within his reach. The family counselor knows this. The counselor is surprised that, of all the world’s burdens Deku carries, it would be his family that slipped through his grasp.

    Pro Hero Deku’s arms are gnarled and scarred, endlessly broken and re-broken in his youth from trying too much, and caring too much, and fighting too much for the sake of others. So why do they seem so awkward, so unpracticed, so unused to being wrapped in a hug around his son? Why was this boy the last thing for Pro Hero Deku’s arms to reach?

    The counselor asks. The raw hurt of the session starts anew.

    Summary

    The Battle of Starcourt has been won, but its aftershocks are still rippling. Separated from the rest of the Party, Will struggles with feelings of abandonment, while El is trying to find her place with the Byers and come to terms with the loss of her powers - and the closest thing she's ever had to a father. Back in Hawkins, life is slowly returning to normal, or at least as normal as life ever is. The Party are starting to adjust to having two of their members at a distance, though everyone's still missing El and Will, Mike most of all.

    But life in Hawkins never stays normal for long. Someone - or something - is following Steve and Robin, and they may not be the only ones under surveillance. A spectre from El's past makes an unexpected - and unwanted - reappearance. And an old enemy may turn out to be much more than meets the eye.

    And sometimes, the bad guys are smart, too.

    Separated by miles and misunderstandings, with communications failing and their enemies somehow always one step ahead, Hawkins' strange little fellowship find themselves caught between holding on and moving forward. If they want to survive to see another November, they'll have to face the past - and each other.
