Summary
Hide hasn’t kissed anyone since he was seventeen. He knows he’s supposed to reciprocate while this is happening--he’s not stupid--but the contract is making quick work on him. It’s like the screws of his soul are being loosened and ripped out, like his shelling is being pried off so he’s just pieces of machinery quickly losing the pipelines that keep them connected.
“Gestalt theory,” Investigator Mado had written up on the board during training once. “The sum of the parts is greater than the parts themselves. Usually a psychological term, but perfectly applicable to biology and magic, too. Contracts rely on it.”
He thought he understood the theory before, but in the midst of actually being disassembled, the meaning is five thousand times more personal.
...He doesn’t know exactly when he stopped being alive.

Summary
The war has run its course, the bodies have decayed, the dust has been kicked up and settled--now all the world can do now is busy itself with picking up the pieces left behind.
Progress has been made, with cities and systems slowly coming back to life. But it’s already taken over four decades. And that's four decades too many.
Dave Strider has always lived among the dirt and ruins, and he’s not going to waste his time or breath dreaming that things could be different. He’s holding his own, treading wherever the currents may take him. Everything’s fine. He’s fine.
Karkat Vantas, protester-turned-reluctant-revolutionary and assface extraordinaire, seems absolutely hellbent on proving him wrong.

Summary
Midoriya is living six year-old him's wildest fantasy, cruising through the cosmos under the wing of space's number one bounty hunter, All Might, as his protégé.
He receives top-of-the-line training. He dogs down criminals. He suffers through All Might's terrible cooking.
When a dangerous man with an impressive price tag falls into their scope, Midoriya's expecting a manhunt. Not a brawl against the universe's up-and-coming, best-and-brightest bounty hunters.
And certainly not Todoroki Shouto.

Summary
This is a world in which Mob and Reigen’s paths have never crossed, in which 10-year-old Mob found psychic guidance in the form of the aging, retired tv personality Keiji Mogami, in which Reigen followed through on his plans to close the Spirits and Such Agency, in which a cruel twist of Mob’s powers forces him to confront how dangerous he really is.
10 year old Shigeo Kageyama has vanished, his trail instantly cold, and his case gathers dust in police archives as a kidnapping never solved. Four years pass before a chain of events causes his path to cross with that of the despondent, unfulfilled fake-psychic-turned-fake-investigator, Arataka Reigen. Reigen finds himself in over his head caring for an escaped victim of abuse who, for reasons unfathomable, has been taught to believe his very existence is a horrifically dangerous thing…

Summary
Karkat always assumed that his life would be over as soon as the Empire caught wind of the cherry-colored sludge pumping through his vascular system. No muss, no fuss--just a good, clean culling fork to the chest. Little did he know that there was something far worse in store...
"Please tell me my auricular sponge clots are failing me here. Tell me I did not just hear you say that you are sending me to some shithole alien planet where I will be nook deep in squishy hairless monkeys.”
Meanwhile on Alternia: the political tides are shifting and the disappearance of a certain mutant blood sets into motion a revolution which could entangle Alternia and Earth together forever--or destroy them both.

Summary
Deep in Derse's shadowy core languishes the stolen second-in-line to the Prospitian throne. He plays the part of reluctant Ambassador, though rather than politics he finds himself juggling the heavy heart of Derse's Prince, which he regrets ever asking for, and charting out his new life far from the Sunburst Court.
Jake is grimly sure he'll never be warm again.
