    Summary

    One thing always remains the same through countless timelines and transformations -- the Long Quiet and the Shifting Mound love each other, no matter what.

    That affection can persist even in the Voices and Perspectives that make up their smallest pieces, as many stories have shown us; we've seen the Voice of the Smitten paired up with the Damsel. The Voice of the Cold with the Spectre. The Voice of the Cheated with the Razor. The Voice of the Paranoid with the Nightmare. We've even seen the Voice of the Hero shack up with the so-called "base Princess."

    Booooring.

    This collection is for stories featuring new and different Voice/Perspective couplings, particularly ones that have been unfairly glossed over.

    Suggestions, requests, and all other kinds of (non-hateful) comments are welcome! I can't promise to fulfill every request, but you're all invited to make them anyway.

    Summary

    You are a Coward. You have always been one. In your attempts to deal, in one way or another, with the Shifting Mound... You were never successful.
    Not because you lack power. Not because she bested you. You just can't accept the finality of your choice. You keep letting her stab you whenever you see the core.
    But what if... even all this looping had an end? What if you remembered everything you've been through. But not just you. No, your dear companion, the voice of the Hero, remembers as well.

     

     

    And he hates you for all the pain you've caused him.

    Summary

    Life has never been safe for a Borrower in a world governed by humans. Viewed as evil omens, any power-bearing “Fae” find themselves prey to black market circles where their fates are drawn to the highest bidder. And sometimes, the winners prefer to place them into the ring and hedge their bets even higher on a gladiatorial fight against something much, much worse.

    As is the fate of a pair of escaped siblings, surviving in the woods by the skin of their teeth. But when evading their opponent proves too challenging, it may take deciding between trusting the owner of a nearby cabin or trying to outrun an enemy that can’t be killed.

    But the tenants of that safe haven have one damning condition: they must reveal themselves to him first to be granted shelter. In order to make peace with the present, it may take unraveling the horrors of the past and the entwined destines between them all to save who still remains of all Borrowers, Cryptids, and Fae - and perhaps even the very forest itself.

    When on Borrowed paths, some things cannot be returned.

     

    [Non-Borrower folks: Think of it as “Inverse Tower.” No prior knowledge needed!]

    Summary

    Priscilla Corbeau didn't love her husband, but she certainly didn't want him dead. And yet, when she returns from vacation, that's what she gets---along with the information that everything she knew about him was a lie.

    Years ago, he stole a fortune from the British government, and in doing so, made a number of enemies---all of whom are now after Priscilla. With the help of a charming stranger named Skips, she's got to track down that fortune before she winds up dead... except, it's not too clear whether or not Skips is all that trustworthy.

    And considering she's getting dangerously close to falling for him, that's a problem.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu and Tomioka Giyuu have been dropped into the Slay the Princess universe. At first, they're confused and target the protagonist of the universe, assuming that he was attacking a woman already locked away in the basement, but as time goes on and loops repeat, they realize that the princess is not what she seems

    The Long Quiet and the voices in his head are confused on why slaying the princess is more complicated than the narrator lets on.

    Summary

    The Wild and the Apotheosis are two of the strongest vessels, they can break the construct. When the Shifting Mound is a bit late on retrieving her gift of a Tender Heart, the Nightmare grows to receive this strength, too.

    But all she knows is how to hurt…

    And so she does. She breaks the Long Quiet. Not mentally, or spiritually, or even just his will. She breaks him in a terrible, pragmatic way.

    Like the Sleeping Mound, they can hope to rebuild him from the Paranoid voice that survives. Together, the Paranoid and the Nightmare must bring Voices to the Long Quiet, and Vessels to the Shifting Mound.

    Hilarity ensues.

    You may be hurting today. You might not be tomorrow.

    That's what I'm here for. And I will not stop caring for you until you stop needing me. And even then it might take a bit.

    Summary

    After a self-sacrifice gone wrong, The Thorn is left wandering The Long Quiet with no one to guide her. On the verge of giving in, she finds exactly what she needed to see:

    A lone poppy flower, growing alone in the void.

    If that flower can survive on its own, why can't she? All her life she's yearned for freedom, will she enchain herself again just because she's alone in the world? No, of course not.

    Donning a new outlook (and outfit), the newly formed Wayfinder's memory promptly gets wiped and is placed on a path in the woods...

    ...Where she learns that the Hero who had fought so hard to protect her from being taken is the very person she has to slay.

    But of course, she doesn't know that.

     

    --

    Or, The Thorn gets placed in a Slay the Princess role-reversal AU via a Shifting Mound mishap.

    Summary

    Old Apple is way past its haydays of travelers coming and going to trade with the local farmers. Strangers coming is now a rarity to the small town, and so the group of very different and colorful strangers make something of a ruckus. (And what was that about a thieving corpse roaming around?)

    OR:

    What happens when four birds, a demon horse rider, a cat witch, and a girl who had been buried underground for years all find themselves in the same small town?

    Summary

    “So. What are you?”

    I am the trunk from which you grow. What are you?

    The voice is almost the same as hers, with a faint echo, like a peaceful song promising warmth, trailing after it into the cold darkness. She does not trust it. The longing in her heart, as if she is looking at a long-forgotten home, that spreads from where it touches her, makes her trust it even less.

    (or: The Shifting Mound contends with her contradictions.)
