    Summary

    The skies were changing; darkening and storming more and more often. Her life was changing; the prince was not as close as he once had been and would not speak of it. The world was changing – the citizenry increasingly resentful of the palace, and their faceless scorn mounting. Her body was changing as well, and she understood none of it.

    Summary

    When the doorbell rings, Gerard's on his fourth attempt at frosting a rose.


    He blinks when he opens the door. Unable to do anything but stand there, silent.
    Elody has her hair up in a messy bun. Her heel taps out a pattern (impatiently? anxiously?) and she stares at him.
    Confused, he frowns, and she gestures at his outfit with a raised eyebrow. It's then Gerard remembers he's wearing the t-shirt Pinocchio picked out for him as a joke -- a bright pink one, that says in large cursive letters below a cartoon of a smiling frog: "Toadally Kissable."
    Elody tries and fails to hold back a smile. "Do you mind if I come in? To talk. I'll be quick."
    Gerard doesn't know what to think, much less what to say.
    Thankfully, the fire alarm goes off before he has a chance.


    Gerard and Elody learn to be friends, again. Featuring a baked good every chapter, a runaway bride, and a glassy catastrophe.

    Summary

    In which Princess Peach can do more than she realizes.
    ---
    Rosalina found her later, curled up near the fireplace. There was a forgotten cup of tea between her fingers. The taller woman- and really, she was quite massive- magicked it away, settling beside Peach.
    “You seemed… upset today,” Rosalina probed, “are you alright?”
    Peach smiled, grim. “Just peachy.”
    “You didn’t seem very ‘peachy’ today.”
    The fire crackled and popped. Peach remembered the anger of the Vibe Scepter, how it had consumed her just like this. If only she could go back to those days, when she had been the hero. Not some damsel like she was now, always some useless damsel.
    “It’s nothing.” Peach said. She did not say 'I feel threatened by your appearance, as you seem to be a better version of me.'

    Summary

    “Paris,” Norma repeated. “And will I be working with a partner?”
    “That’s right. We’ve assigned you one of the junior agents.” The corner of Hollis' mouth ticked up in what Norma, were she prone to exaggeration, might almost have called a smirk. “I dare say you’re familiar with him.”


    Newly-minted Field Agent Natividad and Junior Agent Aquato are given a mission: to investigate a group operating in Paris, and track down one of its members, an ex-Psychonaut gone rogue. But there’s no such thing as a by-the-books mission in the Psychonauts, and as they find themselves embroiled in a dangerous plot, the two unlikely partners will need to work together to make it through.

    Summary

    It’s been six years since the first summer they all met in Gravity Falls. They aren’t really the “Mystery Kids” any more - real life got in the way of that, but Norman still considers them all his friends. So when, one night, Dipper stops messaging him out of the blue - cuts off all communication - it’s cause for alarm.

    That was nearly three months ago. Now Norman and Mabel must follow the trail of clues Dipper’s left behind in order to track him down. But not everything is as it seems; Norman's dreams warn of an oncoming storm, and even those closest to him have secrets to hide. They're going to need to become more than that ragtag band of kids from so many summers ago, if they want to unravel this mystery before it consumes them.
