    Summary

    A pall of magic has befallen HC-10. Most fae are content with doing mischief at the edges of mortal settlements, but something has driven these ones to malice, and if given their way, they will turn the whole inhabited continent into overgrown feywild, and the hermits into their obedient thralls.

    There are a few fae who count themselves among the hermits: Gem and Joel, and on some level, Cub, Scar, and Jevin. But even with their experience and power (and the help of a couple of friends), will it be enough to put an end to the invasion and protect the mortal inhabitants of their world?

    Summary

    A bit, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is "a usually short theatrical routine" (n.d.), and has been extended to refer to "a joke, usually amongst a select group of people, played with some sincerity" (Rodrigues, 2014). As they are intended as comical performances, bits are, by nature, intended to flout Grice's Cooperative Principle and four maxims (1975) by conjuring an additional humorous conversational implicature behind the discourse with the intention of eliciting mirth (Andresen, 2013, 4–5). This essay aims to examine the YouTube video "The BAD BOYS Try To Rhyme In LIMITED LIFE.." (Solidarity Shorts, 2023), an excerpt from the Limited Life SMP YouTube series, itself a season of the Life series, as a case study of how Grice's four maxims may be flouted within a bit, which is further extended as a case study to illustrate the importance of humour in the Life series in general.

    Alternatively: Oh, the inherent whimsy of analysing the greater MCYT fandom from a linguistic perspective.

    Originally titled: On the Life series and floutings of Grice's Cooperative Principle and four maxims.

    Summary

    There was gentle breeze that carried the smell of unfamiliar flowers with an under smell of ocean and salt. Under him he could feel uneven ground that felt a bit hard but not necessarily uncomfortable, leading Blade to think it was sand. Where the fuck..

     

    or Blade travels to Genshin impact, meets two dragons that remind him of his own, and has some stranger encounters before he finally returns home.

    Summary

    It turns out Dan Heng knew surprisingly little about the Vidyadhara. The guards in the Shackling Prison weren't too keen on educating him past the essentials, so nuances of culture and even their own biology were lost on him.

    He had to find those out the hard way. Such as what happens when a Vidyadhara with strong draconic traits is finally healthy and nourished enough for their body to manifest them properly without harming itself.

    ...But hey, at least it means he's healthy?

    Summary

    “You’re not a bird, Sunday,” Mr Yang breaks the silence. Sunday’s eyes flick to him just in time to see him shake his head, his brow furrowed. “Nor are you flightless.”

    “Aren’t I?” he retorts. It’s too late to back out now that he’s started the conversation, now that he’s laying himself bare in front of the one person he respects most on this train. “What is it that differentiates me from an injured dove, Mr. Yang? My body might be fine, but to say the same of my mind –”

    “You’re not an injured dove either,” Mr. Yang cuts in, firm. Final. His gaze lifts from the tea, eyes blazing with something Sunday can’t name. “And even if you were, you would’ve gotten better with help.”

    Or: Five times Sunday floundered while trying to find his place on the Astral Express and the one time he felt right at home.

    Summary

    And like his older counterpart Sunday curls into himself, dragging his knees up to his chin. He has not grown into his wings yet either and they shield his face and more, feathers twitching wildly.
    “Are you Death?” he asks.
    “No,” Welt says, quickly, selfishly. “I'm not here to harm you, Sunday.”
    “How do you know my name?”
    “I know your older self, your future self.”

    Summary

    “God fucking damn it,” a large man wearing a suit complained to himself. “Of course the traffic only sucks when I need it. Typical.” He hauled his luggage into the space and sat down next to Sunday-

    Wait a minute.

    Sunday turns his head in horror and sees Gallagher sitting RIGHT THERE. Yes, the hair is combed and less unkempt. The suit is TIDY (WHAT THE HELL???!!!) and for once, the man is cleanly shaved.

    Don’t look at me. Dont’ look at me. Don’t look at me. Please don’t look at me. DON’T LOOK AT ME.

    Gallagher turned his head and locked eyes with a panicking Sunday. “Oh, hey. Hi.”

    FUCK.

    Sunday Oakwood doesn't know how to love. He doesn't know how to love himself. He doesn't know how to love others. He doesn't know where to find himself.
    After years of trying, he eventually convinced himself that he was always going to be a loser. Perhaps the legacy of the Oakwood name would die quietly with him, as he was too tired to fight, too tired to continue.
    Then, on the plane to what he thought was going to be a business trip, he met that man, and the threads of fate were moving once more before he realised it.

    Summary

    Moze never asked to be "rescued." The Sanctus Medicus were his family, and General Feixiao took them away from him, so he had to get revenge and assassinate her, because what else could he do? He could never believe her and that doctor's lies, and he could never let himself forget...and he could never let himself wonder if he really was happier and healthier now than he ever was back then.

    Twice, Moze has lost his home, but maybe there's still a chance for him to have a better one.

    Summary

    The only difference between a pirate and a privateer is a single piece of paper from the King, and this single fact is something Cyno is all too aware of. After all, it is currently the only thing keeping him, and the crew of his ship, from the grasp of the hangman.

    But a bad string of luck onboard his ship has left Cyno all too aware of this paper, as well as a letter from the King. He is given the ultimatum, either find the ever elusive monstrous siren that has been wrecking havoc on any Spanish (or otherwise) ship along the major trade routes, or he can find The Green Watcher, the even more elusive Indian pirate.

    As he sets off on his journey across the ocean, Cyno can only come to one conclusion.

    He really should have been a farmer.

    “…How are you going to help me?”

    Mirabel’s grin widens and, oh, yeah Isabela is doing that I-regret-all-of-my-life-choices look.

    “Oh, I’ll think of something,” Mirabel waves off and smirks. “I’m a great detective.” She stands up from her chair and reaches out, patronizingly patting Isabela’s head, who levels her a venomous glare like she’s imagining the different ways she would like to kill her. “Don’t you worry, Isa, your situation is in the hands of a professional.”

    __
    OR,

    It starts with a plan to destroy a whole marriage proposal, which is all Mirabel had wanted to help with. But then, it spirals into healing the entire family’s generational trauma one reluctant step at a time. Mirabel did not sign up for any of this “therapist business”. Nor is she getting paid. Honestly.

    Camilo searches for stillness after the passing of a matriarch. Inspired by this poem by Leah Boleto/lilies abounded

    "I hope death is like
    being carried to your bedroom
    when you were a child
    & fell asleep on the couch
    during a family party.
    I hope you can hear the laughter
    from the next room"
