Summary
Somewhere nearby, something exploded.
A misanthropic recluse who was quick to settle down and abandon their hopeless mission into the caves is forced out of a listless cycle of sleeping and hiding when a landmine goes off mere meters from their life pod. They can't just leave someone to die, right?
So they take action. And then they do it again, and again, and again, and hey, where did all these people come from? Why does everyone think this is some kind of charity, that they LIKE being helpful or something?

Summary
Kris swears they have it the worst. Like, they're being puppeted around by some eldritch being, forcing them to do things they never wanted. Not to mention it keeps interfering with the plan. So what if it's always been nice, and treats their friends with love, and lets Kris do stuff they want, it's still controlling them! It must be so easy, not being the Cage.
What if they weren't the Cage anymore? That would solve everything, right?
But someone has to be the Cage.

Summary
They had a system.
The lights stayed off. They were there, in case of emergencies or guests, but outside of those extenuating circumstances, they never turned on. On especially dark or cloudy nights, Kris cracked a glowstick and circled it around their wrist when they walked into the kitchen around 4:00 AM to make coffee after giving up on sleep for the night. Sometimes, the smell drew it out of its room; she'd come grab a cup, and they'd sip the hot, bitter liquid together in silent camaraderie. Usually, Kris drank the small pot alone.
...
It feels selfish, like some violation of the silent pact they’ve made with themself, with Dess. An unspoken agreement to fade quietly from this world, to break away in little pieces over time, make their peace and let the others make theirs.
...
They are warm. A hand on their wrist. Breath on their shoulder. Snores shaking the floor. They are comfortable, and safe, and loved, and somehow this is worse. Because the warmth isn't theirs in the same way the screams weren't theirs; because Kris is a quiet thing, a cold thing, and the pain belongs to them but the fire does not.(i.e. Kris and Dess are forced out of their downward spirals and learn to be loved.)

Summary
In the wake of the Roaring, reality is still a little unstable. Things leak through, forming small pockets of Darkness called Dark Bubbles, housing dangerous creatures called Darklings. Aside from that, though, things have settled into a new normal. School, work, and adventure.
But sometimes, things more potent leak through the cracks in reality. Dark Worlds that should not have existed in this reality, and yet do anyway. Creatures stronger than mere Darklings or Titanspawn, ruling small kingdoms of Darkness. And to top it all off, nobody in Hometown can really be considered 'normal'.
A continuation of the world and characters of Persistent Variables. Persistent Variables is required reading.

Summary
One week ago, Kris nearly destroyed the world. Seven days ago, they took a stupid, selfish shot in the dark, throwing away all the plans they had so meticulously prepared in favor of one last, desperate gamble. One hundred and sixty-eight hours ago, they finally sealed the shelter’s Dark Fountain for good—and miraculously, thanks only to their friends, nobody had to die.
But more importantly: sixteen hours ago, Susie, apparently, went out with Noelle for an ice cream date and neither of them told Kris about it beforehand.
By all accounts, that should be fine. That should be not a big deal, because Susie and Noelle are girlfriends, and girlfriends go on dates with each other. And, typically, girlfriends aren’t expected to invite regular friends to join in on those dates. Especially not friends who lied to both of them repeatedly and nearly ruined everything, everywhere, forever.
The cruel truth of the matter, though, is that Kris is extremely not fine.
