    Summary

    The Straw Hats end up chained to pillars (even though it's not Tuesday) while their captain has to find his way through a deadly maze. Truly deadly. The various monsters, traps and lethal devices aren't too much of a problem, but logic puzzles? No way. Time to rally around their captain.

    Summary

    “Hold that thought,” says Reigen. “The spirit isn’t the protagonist. The spirit is, no offence intended, the villain. The spirit is the obstacle our hero must overcome before reaching his happy ending.”

    “Oh, no,” the spirit says. “No, not at all. I see this story as more of a tragedy. Suffering in life, suffering in death. The futile attempts of one spirit to find happiness, before being snuffed out at the very brink of success. You should emphasise that theme. And I also don’t like the pacing.”

    (Trapped on the job with an unfriendly spirit, Reigen decides to buy himself time by telling it his longest, most thrilling, and most factually accurate story yet.)

    Summary

    A long crack clawed up the side of the concrete, and then it exploded. The pieces hung suspended in air around the boy, face still smooth as glass. Below Reigen’s fingers, the monitors beeped and charted in wild patterns, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

    Suzuki removed his hand from the intercom and turned to Reigen. “Interesting enough for you?”

    Summary

    “Have you heard from Fenlamin?” Kalina asks insistently, and Riz is so taken aback that he nearly falls over. The surprise stems from his lack of recognition; she asks as if he should know who she’s talking about, but that same nagging itch from this morning about the bay returns, and all he can do is stare at her incredulously.

    “Who?”

    Finally, he looks up at her and her face…she’s not usually easy to read, but she looks devastated. “No,” she says softly, then louder, “Fenlamin? Your best friend?”

    “I…” Riz blinks at her. A car passes through the intersection behind her; he wonders what they see. He wonders if the driver might clutch their pearls at the image of a goblin in this part of town talking to thin air; he wonders if his mom will get a call, and if he’ll always be labeled trouble, and if Kalina being worried is something that will help him or hurt him instead. “I don’t—is that someone I go to school with? My best friends are the Bad Kids—you remember them, right? You tried to kill a majority of them?”

    “Fenlamin. Fenlamin Gukgak,” she repeats, more desperate this time. “He lived with you?”

    -

    or: Riz Gukgak vs. the case of his missing best friend, who he can't remember.

    Summary

    The day is saved. The demon is defeated, the kingdom is returned, and a new king is crowned. It’s the perfect ending to a tale of heroes and adventure… But Laios and his friends have never fit particularly well into storybook molds.

    Left with a hundred questions still to answer about the future, and amidst growing concerns about forces that would be all too happy to take that future away, they make their way as they always have: by holding fast to each other and figuring the rest out as they go.

    Summary

    Dragons were territorial. Dragons were possessive. Dragons were irritable. Dragons were often loud, and violent, and brazen. Before her resurrection, Falin had been decidedly none of those things, so it was very interesting—from a scientific standpoint—to observe first-hand the ways in which her emotions and values were shifting under the dragon’s influence.

    From a personal standpoint, however, it was more than a little embarrassing to admit that she was burning hot with jealousy for a stupid freaking cat.

    (Or, Izutsumi is only here for the pets, Falin misreads the situation, and Marcille has no idea why they can't just get along.)

    Summary

    In their bedroom, beneath their bed, she keeps a wooden box. It is small, but some days she struggles to even lift it such is its weight. It is a space that things may enter but never leave. Now she breaks this rule, sorting through its contents as she awaits their guest.

    There is a fine silver chain, the foot of a wild rabbit, a pair of incisors, a scrap of cloth, a lock of hair, two pieces of stiff parchment and a dirty scrap of paper. There is the more recent addition of a wax seal, ornate and macabre in equal measure. Then there is the pressed chamomile, which predates all else. A collection of all the moments she had taken for her own.

    Inside this box is her heart entire.

    Summary

    Riz looks like he’s gonna say more, but ultimately doesn’t, just nods at them, glancing around with his tongue in his teeth and honesty in his eyes, and Fig nods, knows, has known it for a long time. She feels it, tonight. That thing that’s always there. They just don’t talk about it, usually.

    “I think we’re pretty fucking awesome,” Fig says softly into the night. “I really do.”

    Beside her, Kristen nods, lifting her glass again and glancing at Fig over it, and the others follow suit. There’s a strange solemnity between them, as each of them take the moment in, together and alive. It didn’t have to go like this, Fig is thinking. It didn’t have to, and it did.

    Summary

    “How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.

    “Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”

    Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”

    “No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”

    “So…what?” asks Izutsumi.

    “Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”

    “You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”

    Laios smiles.

    Summary

    Kristen slumps back against the wall, wishing she had a Yerba Mate, or else a goddess. She glances over at Kipperlilly, who hops up onto a nearby desk, pointedly ignoring Kristen. Her feet don’t quite touch the ground from this position, and her platform Mary Janes swing slightly over the linoleum. Kristen wonders, briefly, if they’ve ever crushed a rat.

    “Is it stressful, being so perfect all the time?”
    Something passes over Kipperlilly. Kristen can’t read it for the life of her. Her eyes gleam under the shitty fluorescent lighting.
    “Do you think I’m perfect?” she asks delicately, like it’s a dare.

    //

    The thing about Kristen is that she's a mess. The thing about Kipperlilly is that she's not. The thing about hating someone is that it's a lot like loving them. The thing about competing with someone is that you think about them all the damn time.

    Summary

    It was meeting day, for the Unwitness Protection Program and they were in Aiden’s basement this week. It had been almost a month with no supernatural activities.

    At first, they thought it was like the other times they had some time off. Then the second week came around and they started to get nervous. In the third week, they went around looking for trouble, but none was there.

    It was way too normal. William didn’t know what to think about it. All the theories his friends tossed around weren’t sitting right with him, and neither was anything he could think of. He was the detective, the smart one. He found all the little clues everyone else missed. How could he claim that title when he was just as dumbfounded as the rest of his friends?

    OR

    The Unwitness Protection Program go looking for trouble and can't handle what they find.

    But in this moment, he wasn’t Riz-with-a-terrible-secret. He was just Riz, who had never been on a date because he was busy and had been chronically uncool up until last spring, but who would theoretically be amenable to it if the situation arose.

    He could live forever in that fictional world.

    Summary

    Every 300 years, Heaven and Hell share a company retreat on Earth during which angels and demons temporarily surrender their celestial powers.

    Officially, it’s a time for fostering team unity and better understanding the needs of the client base. It’s definitely not a time for terrorizing the hotel staff with divine/diabolical showdowns, abusing the ethereal expense account, or furiously snogging your hereditary enemy. But when Aziraphale and Crowley are up for promotion, Hell breaks loose and Heaven might just break free.
