Summary
It goes like this: Sophomore Year rolls around, and Kristen is doing great. She's got a great girlfriend, a new god, a new house, and an awesome party. There are a few faults in this happiness, like how she can't seem to balance any of the things in her life that aren't world-endingly cataclysmic, or how she always feels like she's failing everyone, or how even with a new god, her questions are driving her to aimlessness. But that's fine! All she has to do is hold faith that everything will work out. She's totally got this.
It goes like this: Sophomore Year rolls around, and Riz is happier than ever. He's handling his magic, he's maintaining friends that aren't his babysitter for the first time in living memory, and school is a lot more fun when you aren't trying to find your missing friend or stop an evil dragon from conquering the world. There are a few snags in the glow of satisfaction, like how he has never had this many friends before, and isn't totally sure he's doing it right, or that he can't manage to figure out what the appeal of sex is, or that he still doesn't know who his dad is. But that's fine! All he has to do is keep ignoring all the things he doesn't want to think about. He's totally got this.

Summary
Usually Fig didn’t attend classes regularly, if at all. Actually, it was a running joke with her friends on the dorm floor that she never attended the classes she was signed up for. But Fig made a point to attend Astronomy 101. It’s not because she was particularly interested in the subject— she was actually a music major, specializing in composition. Astronomy 101 just sounded like the most interesting class that could fill her physical science requirement. No, the reason that Figeuroth Faeth attended Astronomy 101 was because of the hot, mysterious TA that graced this lowly introductory course with her presence.
Or, Fig falls for her hot TA for Astronomy 101. Little does she know, her hot TA may actually have feelings for her as well.

Summary
There is a note out of place on her floor.
It sits, innocently enough, beneath her perch, long since cold from her leaving this morning. Ayda has been looking directly at it for a few minutes now, head cocked. She would know if she had dropped one of her notes earlier. She always knows. Her memory is quite keen. She certainly did not write it.
Despite this, it is, tauntingly, written in her own hand. It’s shorter than what she usually writes herself, and slightly cramped, like she was trying to get her message out quickly. Her mind flashes to her father and Ayda considers whether chronomancy could be involved. Perhaps this is a warning from her future self. The pulse of her Detect Magic washes through the room, coming up empty. Well, drat. There’s nothing else for it, then.
Begrudgingly, Ayda walks closer, talons clicking over wood planks. When she bends down to pick it up, the tips of her wings brush the floor.
It is two sentences, both three words, each more confusing than the last. Ate yday morn, the first says. Check on Aelwyn.

Summary
When members of Kristen Applebees' church start to go missing, she takes it upon herself to hire a private investigator. Unfortunately, his methods expose her to a life of sin so absolute it may consume her entirely. But if she ever wants to see her brother again, she just might have to let it.
Ten years ago, something unspeakable happened in Elmville, driving away a small group of traumatized students. Now, that past is coming back to haunt them all, and even Bastion City might not be safe. But what does Riz Gukgak’s history in Elmville have to do with the disappearance of Bucky Applebees? And what does any of it have to do with the creeping return of magic to the nation of Solace?

Summary
"Sex in particular is... it's holy to me, yeah? So just imagine you walked into a cathedral, and you told the high priest you were interested in their religion, and could they please point you in the direction of someone who could tell you all about it?"
Sigrid frowned slightly. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying, darling, that when an attractive young person comes to me and confidently declares that they want an introduction to the pleasures of the flesh, that's a special occasion that I'm not eager to pass off to someone else. Not when I know there's no one in Leviathan could show you a better time than me."
Sigrid's breath caught slightly; she hardly dared believe what she was hearing. "You mean, you want to take me to bed?"
Truly just 10,000 words of Garthy O'Brien fucking. I would feel more embarrassed to publish something this blatantly self-indulgent if I didn't honestly think it was pretty good.
Detailed warnings, including potential dysphoria warnings, in notes at beginning.

Summary
Sandra Lynn draws back her bow. And it doesn't feel wrong—as the fletching tickles her cheek, as she sights down the broadhead, as she aims straight for the heart—in all that time, it never once feels wrong.
An arrow sprouts from her daughter's chest, and it feels monstrously correct. Not a betrayal but a seamless continuation, the rhyme of every minute of every day since before Figueroth was even born, beautiful and terrible in its poetry.

Summary
They were ‘little one’ to Ayda and ‘little fucker’ to almost everyone else.
Except themself.
To themselves they were wrong. They took up too much space in the wrong places. They were an imposter in someone else’s body, a thief who had stolen joy from the girl they could have been, who had stolen joy from the parents who had wanted a daughter and the love from a childhood sweetheart who had wanted a girlfriend.

Summary
“What card was it that he drew?”
Riz swallows. He feels sick. “The Void.”
“Ah,” Ayda replies, sucking a breath in through her teeth. “The Void. This black card spells disaster. Your soul is drawn from your body and contained in jar—”
-
or: Fabian draws a poor hand from the Deck of Many Things and his soul is severed from his body. Riz refuses to accept the fact that Fabian is dead, no, worse than dead. On his quest across the Celestine Sea to find a way to return Fabian to life, Riz does not cope well.

Summary
Gorgug hasn't told anyone about the bugs yet, which is unfortunate, because they’re now the only thing he can think of.
Crouched under the hood of the van he wrapped another wire in black electrical tape, moving on from one chew to another. He would, on any other day, fully repair all the damaged wires, but he didn't have the resources, both mentally and physically, to do so.
The feeling of raindrops sliding down his spine makes him shudder, his throat closing tight with panic. Every lone drip feels like a bug climbing around all over his skin, but it was fine. He could handle it, it's just rain after all.--or--
The Van is the only thing that breaks down on their way back to Elmville.
Gorgug has a panic attack about what he saw in the Forest of the Nightmare King, afterwards his friends are there to pick up the pieces. -

Summary
ah fuck, they got my order wrong I distinctly said no dizziness...oh well. At least Garthy's here.
aka POTS makes enjoying hot drinks a little complicated, and your humble author tries their best not to over-explain vasodilation in a horribly nerdy scientific manner even though they loveeee explaining the science of vasodilation.

Summary
"She's like a little doll," the woman cooed. She moved closer and stroked a lock of Adaine's hair. Adaine bore it patiently, though her fingers were twitching. "Oh, what a sweetheart. I love my darling boy, of course, but it would be so lovely to have a little girl to dress up."

Adaine is invited to a playdate at Seacaster Manor. Fabian isn't.

Summary
Their posture is relaxed and languid as they drape one arm over the back of the couch, hand curled in front of their mouth, eyes still locked on you. There’s tension in the air and it permeates your body, your muscles tightening and breath catching while you wait for them to…to what? To move, to let their eyes roam, to reach for you? After a moment, they let out a thoughtful hum and prop their head up on their fist.
“Am I making you nervous, lovey?”
~
In which you've technically had your first kiss, but are in desperate need of a do-over.
