    Summary

    For the Incubators, a diagnosis of "mental illness" is as simple as having a personal interest outside producing negentropy – for example, in wordplay. Kyubey, the assigned Incubator for Mitakihara City's magical girls in their fight against wraiths, is diagnosed with an unnecessary emotion after making an unprompted joke, and scheduled for execution and replacement. It accepts gracefully, knowing its death serves the purpose of fighting entropy... right up until it can't.

    In for a penny, in for breaking and rewriting your identity, as they say.

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary

    “Come on, just because he’s in space doesn’t make him cooler than you. I mean, technically we’re all in space. He’s just…in a different bit of space.”

    “It’s nothing to do with anything like that. I just –“ Dan pauses, trying to think of a way to phrase it. “It’s stupid to even think of him like that when I’ve never even met him, you know? Like – I have no idea who he is.”

    In which Phil's an astronaut alone on Mars and Dan's a lowly tech down at Ground Control who can't get him out of his head

    Summary

    One normally assumes only siblings of the same blood would be the topic of an age-old prophecy, but Diluc and Kaeya find themselves at the center of one they never asked for: as children born on opposite solstices, brought together under one family, they share a blessing and curse: whenever they each find someone to marry, that person will be rewarded with fortune and power.

    And three days later, the brother who married will die.

    Naturally, they don’t know this, and a few people are vying for their hands already.
