The Gavlegoat and the Greek army by Acerplatanoides_Mapletree26

Summary
You may ask what the Trojans or a Greek army is doing in modern times in a Swedish town before Christmas? The truth is that every year the craft group builds a Christmas goat and every year there is a group of vandals planning to sabotage it. The craft group calls the sabotage group the Trojans as it seems like they almost have a certain grudge against giant wooden farm animals, the sabotage group calls the craft group the Greek army because they keep building giant goats as if they were planning to invade the city.
Now they are tired of this endless war and when their strategist finds out the Trojans plan to steal the goat first before burning it, he thinks out a risky plan for them to finally find and maybe sabotage their headquarters after a decade of arson attempts.

Summary
‘No,’ said Judge Roberta Field, over the top of her pasta salad.
‘Good afternoon, Your Honour,’ said Elias Bouchard. He smiled. It was a benign smile, like they always were. And yet it was the sort of smile that she knew brought horrors she couldn’t begin to anticipate.
Her eyelid twitched. ‘I am retiring in three weeks,’ she hissed.
~
Judge Roberta Field is retiring early. No more long days. No more screaming couples. No more family drama. Just a lovely cottage in Scotland. Life is going swimmingly.
Unfortunately for her, her two least favourite regulars decide to stop by for one last hurrah.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
When Max Mustermann finally gets his hands on Jon while in America, Elias ends up spilling the information to Martin. Martin, determined to rescue Jon, schedules a flight straight to America — issue is, he has no clue where to go next. Cue Julia and Trevor, two Hunters who have spotted Jon around being followed by Mustermann, who readily offer a car and some company for Martin in his rescue mission. But do they have more self-centered, possibly sinister plans at heart? Not that Martin has enough room for more worries, not with his personal life issues, work life issues, and, of course, Jon.

Summary
Jon pauses, as though picking his words with great care. Once he starts speaking again, Martin realises he’s avoiding asking him any questions. "I-I-I wanted to talk to you. Everyone is...well, avoiding me! Six months, I just, I-I-I-I don't know why you're all acting like this, and I don't want to force any of you to tell me, b-but I can't help if-if-if—"
He rambles as though terrified Martin will disappear, as though this will be his only chance to talk. But the cold has other ideas, and a sneeze steals the rest of Jon's rant.
Sympathetic to Jon’s plight, Martin finally meets Jon's eyes, and it's his greatest mistake. All he wants to do is reach out and hug the man he thought had died. Wrap him up safely in his arms where no evil will ever reach him again, and there will be no worries about Powers or Entities or evil bosses or the end of the world.
But that's wishful thinking. Because he can't do any of that.
There is...one thing he can do. One thing he hopes and hopes Peter won't discover.
"...Come inside," he says softly, though the words scrape along his throat on their way out.

Summary
Martin understands that Jon's going through a hard time right now - and he's not bothered by the sight of Jon staking out his flat, really, though he's a little embarrassed on Jon's behalf. Still, it's getting cold and Martin hardly wants Jon freezing to death. Maybe if he offers Jon a cup of tea, that'll convince Jon to go on his merry way.
