Summary
This is an additional thread to post short stories to give more background for my main story We are going down swinging.
I have a lot of ideas but a huge problem with putting them together, which ends with me not writing anything. I hope this solution will help me a bit with that. In the future you can expect changes or rewrites

Summary
To explain some things...
1. I'm an only child, I don't know what it's like to have younger siblings or siblings at all. This is just my idea of what it could look like. I'll leave it to you to judge
2. I wrote it on complete sleep deprivation because my brain wouldn't shut up until I wrote those words down (that's why I might edit it in the future - to make it less "shaky", to avoid repeating myself, to jut make it better than this)Series

Moments That Matter by Iamhowlingmad

Summary
This is a collection of short stories set in my world, all taking place before 'We Are Going Down Swinging,' though not necessarily in chronological order. Some stories might be from their childhood, while others are set just before my main story.
Might contain different ships like Skilene, Koris, Kico - but nothing crazy and explicit
Some ideas may even evolve into longer stories in the future.
I hope you enjoy them!

Burdened By Shadows by Iamhowlingmad

Summary
This is an ode to every emotionally detached person. To every single person that chooses to run rather than face it. To every single person that hides under masks. (And I just love mentally torturing Skipper.)

Summary
This is what sleep deprivation does, he thought. It degrades moral reasoning. Reduces complex ethical frameworks into simple cause-and-effect fantasies.
Cause: Snoring. Effect: Smothering.Series

Batting for Love by Iamhowlingmad

Summary
No one had ever warned him about this.
No one had told him that love could creep in like an infection - slow, suffocating, curling around his ribs like a vice until it was impossible to ignore. That it wouldn’t be some grand realization, some sudden lightning strike of clarity, but a slow, insidious thing slipping into the spaces between them, unnoticed until it was too late.
No one had told him that love could feel like a wound.Series

Summary
That's another story, based way before the events from my main story We are going down swinging.
I just love Kowalski, I love writing him, his thoughts and thinking process.I also love the dynamic between him and Rico, I mean my writing explains everything way better than I do here

There will be blood by Iamhowlingmad

Summary
Ever wondered how Rico got his scars? Yeah, me too.
This story is both an interpretation and a reflection—a way of processing the world we live in and how deeply broken it feels at times. A world that’s often sick in ways we can’t fully name.
It’s also a memorial to a past version of myself I’ve left behind, but will never forget.
