Summary
A figure stands before him.
Carlo flinches, startling at the sight. He instinctively takes a step back, feet slipping over scattered cards. He fumbles on the floor for only a moment before scrambling to his feet, upright once more, eyes racing to find whatever lay in the darkened corner.
Before him a figure dark and looming stands, its eyes a piercing lance, its face a mirrored reflection of Carlo’s own.
Carlo stares up at the figure. The puppet called P stares back.
***
Carlo is enjoying his new life, free from the past. But when P returns, Carlo begins to question what's truly real. How can the broken puppet be here now? And what revelations will his appearance bring?

Summary
“Romeo,” Carlo said softly. Romeo couldn’t help but be entranced by the way Carlo’s eyes met his, a warm brown instead of a piercing blue, to marvel at the fact that the two of them were somehow sitting together in the ruins of the opera house. That they were together at last.
***
Carlo pieces Romeo back together on the floor of the Opera House. But is this Carlo the one that Romeo remembers?

Summary
Astro has done it. He saved the city. The crowd cheered as he woke up and they cheered as he hugged that man—that man he called father.
Cora just watched.
She watched as Astro woke up. She watched as he smiled up at that man.
She watched as Astro let himself be led away, hand in hand, like a lamb to the slaughter.
***
Cora finds a photograph of a little boy that looks far too familiar.
What else is Dr. Tenma hiding? And what does this all have to do with Astro?

Summary
There was something wrong with Toby.
It was a simple statement, yet it was a fact that Toby knew to be true with all of his heart.
It wasn't the heavy air that surrounded his home that tipped him off. Nor was it how Orin took to shaking and stuttering when Tobio was around, looks colored with pity. It wasn’t even the sad glances that Toby would only see when his father thought he wasn’t looking, eyes condemning and contemplative.
It wasn’t any of them that were off; it was Toby. Something deep and heavy inside him.
---
In which Tenma isn’t so quick to throw Astro aside, and Astro discovers he is not quite human in a very different fashion. -

Summary
“I have to tell them, right…? That it’s me…?” Danny, stitched back together to the best of Vlad’s ability, kept alive with the entanglement of machines Vlad had once used to incubate Danny’s clones. He could only speak when the machine breathed for him. A rasp instead of a voice. Eyes too dry to cry, dehydrated and spent from all the screaming and sobbing Vlad had not been around to witness, and could only imagine. “I can’t hide this. They’re gonna know…”
---------
Maddie has come to beg Vlad for a favor. Over a lunch date, Jack excluded. Vlad accepts with the confidence that he knows precisely what she wants to talk about. (He was more involved than she could ever know, after all.) But Vlad's expectations fall apart as he learns what exactly Maddie has come to ask.Bookmarked by klaxons_firing

Summary
“Listen," Harry said, "what do you say tomorrow, you, me, and MJ all go on an adventure?”
“An adventure, huh?” Peter asked, finally putting his book down. He crossed his arms behind his head and leaned back. “Kind of short notice. What’d you have in mind?”
“Get this,” Harry said, holding his hands up. “ESU’s answer to the three musketeers will finally be able to solve the mystery that has plagued scholars for thousands of years: just what is the best pizza in New York?”

Set pre-canon and based on an in-game conversation.

Summary
Ladybug is the Miraculous Hero of Gallia. She has spent the past number of years fighting the minions of the tyrant Hawk Moth, only for the war to come to an abrupt end.
News reveals that Hawk Moth was brutally slain by his own champion and captain of his own elite guard - the infamous knight Chat Blanc, known to wield pure destruction itself.
With the disintegration of Hawk Moth's army, Chat Blanc is captured and imprisoned until his certain execution.
Being a beloved hero and instrumental in the realm's defences during the war, Ladybug is offered a reward of her choosing. Instead of choosing a title or luxuries as expected she chooses...custody of Chat Blanc???
A new threat is rising in the chasm Hawk Moth left behind, and Ladybug believes Chat Blanc's knowledge and skill will be vital in what's to come. And perhaps he could also answer some questions that have plagued her since even before the war with Hawk Moth began.. -

Summary
The woman in Sheev’s small waiting antechamber waved at them from behind the glass of his office divider as he peered at her, then went back to reading her holonovel. She didn’t seem to be paying much attention to either of them, her nails tapping along the arms of his lovingly upholstered chair. She looked a bit like one of Amidala’s handmaidens, he thought sourly. How many short brunette women could there be in the Senate complex at one time?
