    Summary

    Queen Yona is here in front of him, disheveled, made to appear quite unlike herself. On her back hangs her old bow and an emptied quiver. She grips two dead pheasants by their scaled feet and regards Zeno as though she’s caught the bird that got away, pinned now at the wings, unable to escape again.

    “The little miss is far from home,” he manages.

    *

    Three years after Yona ascends the throne, Zeno finds himself dying alone on a Northern Kai mountainside.

    Summary

    The child has a scowl fitted on his mouth. Zeno will soon learn that that is where it lives. This does nothing to detract from the hair, which is red like the daybreak or red like wildfire or red like Zeno is on the inside. Heaven may not intend to be cruel, yet here stands Hiryuu in his third reincarnation. It has only taken another two thousand years.

    *

    It turns out the third reincarnation of Hiryuu wants not to better society, feed the hungry, or service the oppressed, but to conquer the earth.

    Summary

    “My mother once told me,” Piper said, “that I make an excellent story.”

    *

    It’s the tenth anniversary of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter’s joint Unity and Friendship Festival. Too bad a beleaguering journey on the horizon spells trouble for avoidant actress Piper McLean, who is holding out hope that the new quest might deliver her from the terrible curse festering within herself. Aside from her own problems, strange encounters unveil an alluring world much more merciless than theirs, one that gods and monsters alike have spent lifetimes avoiding. Even with the help of Piper’s friends, new and old, they’re left with no choice but to safeguard themselves against terrors beyond their comprehension, all while keeping the love between them above water.

    The drunken necromancy, in comparison, is practically a footnote.

    Summary

    What: Duke Thomas is on summer vacation. For reasons unfathomable, he finds himself in sunny Los Angeles in the company of an almost-relative, Bette, and her infamously green roommate. As for the flying kid in blue—he must be as in on the joke as the rest of them.

    Where: The Signal is Gotham’s daylight protector and an Outsider and a dutiful son and everything is alright all the time. Flamebird has her costume on a hanger in the back of her closet, which she turns her head from when she readies for class. Beast Boy capes in a city that doesn’t quite care whether he lives, dies, or stars in his nineteenth commercial. Captain Marvel Jr. visits nearly too much, even though no other place makes Fawcett City more of a faraway dreamland.

    When: It’s only for the summer.

    Summary

    Just a fortnight of sitting in on Almyran court had Cyril feeling like he’d been thoroughly stretched through a weaving loom. It was why Claude seemed so otherworldly; he could come out of an hours-long congressional council still enthusiastic for the next. In comparison, Cyril had spent the last meeting internally critiquing a passing servant’s bookshelf organization technique.

    *

    The one where Cyril is gifted a Wyvern egg.

    Summary

    The rudder stuttered to a pause, and past starboard Killua only saw dwindling dark. He heard cawing in the distance, birds swooping down to scour for breakfast. At the helm of the boat, Granny Abe and Mito broke into peals of laughter. Killua turned to see Gon’s outline dangling from the bow, no doubt smiling brighter than the sunrise they were there to see.

    Summary

    The aftermath of the battle came unbidden. Belyal and his father were a yard too far to do anything but witness Byleth save the girl from an axing. Once the dust settled, three neat-looking admirers stood at his older sister’s elbows.

    Belyal shook away the image of the weapon striking its target, too vivid for something that never got the chance to happen. His father placed a warm hand over his shoulder, deep-set eyes pointed towards the distance. Belyal followed his gaze to an imperturbable Byleth and a halo of dust still floating behind her. They were safe. They were together.

    It took Garreg Mach a heartbeat to change that.

    *

    Adoring little brother Belyal feels his purpose slip as his father and sister slot into a vast, incomprehensible narrative—one without a place for him.

    Summary

    Three children laid on the bluff until the sea air prickled their tongues and windburn blistered their cheeks. It took the dreary purpling of the skies to send them scuttling back to Mt. Corvo, the older boys taking turns piggybacking their sleeping brother.

    Summary

    Billy watches Mary hold a pearl necklace to Mommy’s collarbone, parting her painted lips in thought, the reflection on the vanity mirror a pretty echoing twin. Her cheeks are flush-red, heels of apples. Billy lies on the carpet at her feet, listening as she hums a song he doesn’t recognize. This way he can pretend it’s really Mommy, and not just Mary in their dead mother’s body.

    Summary

    At three years old, Luffy’s rounded out an entire personality, and it excites Makino as much as it makes her wary. He’s started putting on brave faces after nasty falls, and tosses the greens off his plate as soon as she turns her back. She’d never truly appreciated the speed at which children grew until the one baby she’d had sprouted quicker than a seed in wet soil.

    Summary

    Kurapika awoke with eyes still filmy from deep slumber. He blinked it away until his vision settled, then sat up on the cot without so much a creak. Gon’s patterned curtains filtered light into mesh, leaving small square shadows on Kurapika’s sheets.

    He had dreamt something good last night, or at least it had felt that way. At waking, the dream had slipped like water through his fingers, but the feeling lingered as though his hands were still slick with the memory.

    Summary

    Jason nicked his thumb turning a page in his book. A small bit of blood began to bead from the cut. Unflinchingly, he swiped it against the margin of the page, watching as the red dot swelled in size beneath his finger.

    Summary

    School was an ouroboros of dispassionate children and lenient instructors that Piper only hated because it gave her too much freedom to do whatever she wanted. She kicked the heel of her boot against the side of the dumpster she’d been leaning on, rolled a demolished lollipop stick between her teeth, and waited for the kid digging through trash to resurface for air.

    Summary

    The fence gives after a single push. Billy holds the rusted gate open, and Freddy, slow and resentful, takes one step at a time, beaten sneakers crushing dirt mounds underfoot. A full week with these crutches and Freddy has yet to grow any love for them. He probably never will. Billy keeps saying it’s better than a wheelchair or a hospital cot, and it would have been an easily won argument if there didn’t exist a single name that blew it all out of the water.
