    Summary

    “Close your eyes,” Coco said, so quietly it was almost a whisper.

    Behind her shut eyelids, every sound and feeling magnified as Coco brushed her remaining un-cut hair to the front. The comb’s teeth on her scalp. Coco's breath, so close. And this, too: How quiet she was, as if waiting for something.

    Snip . The first part of her bangs fell to the floor.

    “Can I tell you something, too?” Coco said, almost too quietly to make out.

    “Sure.”

    Anything, she didn't add. Please tell me anything.

    Agott doesn't recognize herself in the mirror anymore, but Coco is there to help.

    Summary

    "We're not so different, you and I."

    But they were different. Columbina was serene where Sandrone was anxious. Graceful where Sandrone was awkward. She baked perfect pastries at dawn and said profound things about sunsets and somehow made Sandrone's antisocial cat into a devoted admirer.

    And yet there was something in the way Columbina moved through the world—like she was slightly apart from it, watching rather than participating—that Sandrone recognized in herself.

    or;

    Columbina is an angel, and Sandrone is fated to die in a year.

    Summary

    They are roommates before they are anything else, which is maybe the first mistake.

    At Tracen, Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet are known for the same things they’ve always been known for: losing to each other by inches, fighting over everything, and making the rest of Team Spica want to lock them in separate rooms until they learn how to act normal. But off the track, rivalry gets harder to name.

    The problem is that wanting to win is simple. Wanting each other is not.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the second Storm, a displaced teacher and a disgraced researcher once attempted to find home in each other again. One taught survival. One taught dreams.

    Now, in the wake of the third Storm, they gather in a Foundation gymnasium where institutional light learns to shine like aurora fire, where science cradles your dreams, where children practice circus tricks while adults practice the harder choreography of wanting permanence again.

    This is not recovering what was lost. This is archaeology of the heart – digging the love that’s always been there from rubble, making forever out of whatever pieces refusing to disappear.

    OR

    Rayashki and Plesetsk families meet to run a winter circus, chasing the season's brief magic while stumbling across something less seasonal: family.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, three women tried to make a film about justice. One wrote it. One shot it. One bled for it.

    Only two of them made it to the credits.

    Now Qi Xing sits in a prison cell with a projector buzzing at her feet and all the footage Noire never deleted. The rooftop takes. The fight scenes. The parts where they forgot they were pretending it was just a film, pretending the ending could still be happy, pretending they weren’t already breaking offscreen.

    This is not about fixing the story. This is about watching it – frame by frame – until the grief stops overstaying its runtime.

    (It won’t.)

    Nahida squeezes his hand.

    “I sense a great loneliness in you,” she murmurs. “You have recently lost someone important—someone you are not yet sure you can learn to live without.”

    Al-Haitham doesn’t reply.

    “I understand loneliness,” Nahida says softly. “I understand the pain of having no one but yourself to keep you company.

    “In return for my power, I will take your loneliness. You will no longer have to worry about whether you can live without her. You will already know you can.”

    (What is a peaceful life if not one without pain?)

    “The Master Diviner believes I will kill you,” Jing Yuan tells her, wiping tears from the corner of his eyes. “But-”

    A brief examination on the obligations of Xianzhou warriors and how they prepare for their deaths, since being mara-struck is an inevitability. Featuring Jingliu.

    Summary

    “How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.

    “Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”

    Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”

    “No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”

    “So…what?” asks Izutsumi.

    “Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”

    “You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”

    Laios smiles.

    “You can’t be serious. Do you actually not know?” Rika takes one look at him and groans. “Arceus help me. Have you never searched yourself on the Internet?” Rika pauses and makes a face. “On second thought, don’t do that. I think it might traumatize you.”

    “I don’t understand.” He really doesn’t. Why would people like him? He’s plain. Average. Unremarkable. He’s not entertaining like Iono or creative like Brassius or friendly like Rika. He can’t even pull off the mysterious, cool aura that Grusha has.

    What does he have to offer?
