    Summary

    The sheet which had previously covered the reflective surface of Yesod’s bathroom mirror sits on the sink counter. The white fabric meticulously folded, given all the deference and respect that a ritual of this magnitude deserves.

    Yesod stares into it and slowly begins to unbutton his shirt. He makes it three buttons in before stopping dead in his tracks.

    Summary

    “Ah.” Hong Lu looked down at the teacup. In his heart of hearts, he was terrified at what he might see - a young, helpless child, waking up from a pleasant dream on the riverbed in Hongyuan, but he only saw himself; a young adult, wearing the Full-Stop uniform, with his hair tied back, and cut short.

    “Our bodies - to every hair and bit of skin - are received by us from our parents, and we must not presume to injure or wound them. This is the beginning of filial piety,” said one of his childhood tutors.

    He’d cut it when he opened his Office so it would stop getting in the way.



    Hong Lu of the Full-Stop Office becomes a subject of interest for Yi Sang, an Oracle's Proxy of the Index, deep in the process of becoming a facsimile of a certain washed up Grade 9 Fixer... but perhaps choosing someone so peculiar as Jia Baoyu as a partner to fulfill the Prescript that told him to "raise a happy family" will change the Will of the City's mind, just this once.

    Summary

    “Long time no see.” It comes from the man’s mouth, he thinks. But the voice feels fuzzy, a spectre in the air more than a sound. He’s struck with the thought that he doesn’t actually know what Giovanni sounds like. Was his voice higher or lower than his own? Or maybe an exact replica, coming from the same vocal cords. It doesn’t really matter, he concludes as the figure seems to blur around the edges.

    He is Giovanni. Giovanni is dead. Both of these statements are true at the same time.

    Summary

    To Crick Wellsley, Flamechurch was a lot of things: his first assignment as a Sanctum Knight, the home of his faith— the place where his life was changed forever by one chance meeting. For the better… he thinks. Needless to say, his history with Inquisitor Temenos Mistral is complicated, so when he finds out that his latest assignment is to travel back to Flamechurch to protect Temenos himself, Crick has more than a few mixed feelings.

    There isn’t any time to sort them out, though. When he arrives, Temenos is nowhere to be found. Crick knows that Temenos is prone to acting on whims and vanishing for some investigation or another, but never like this: never with so many loose threads left behind, and never without his staff.

    Just like that, Flamechurch becomes something new again: the home of two missing inquisitors, and the center of yet another mystery that Crick never wanted. Working in the light of the Sacred Flame means that every shadow has the potential to hide yet another secret, another clue to Temenos’ whereabouts— and it’s up to Crick to follow the clues and the work Temenos left behind to find him before it’s too late.

    Or: What if Lucio followed through with his plan? Eventually..

    Summary

    He hated it. Every second of it, how pathetic it made him feel. The vulgar, out-of-place proposition; the song-and-dance they've already been doing for months now. The way Gubo was always so gross about it: somehow too vague and startlingly direct simultaneously. The fact that even now, Jia Huan wanted to get up and knock on his door. Go to him.
    Instead, he turned away. Curled in on himself; lost himself to a deep, sticky, restless dream that was sure to leave him exhausted in the morning. He was coming to terms with the fact that the circumstances he found himself in were not shaping up into a love story at all.

     

    Nelly notices the first inclincs of unrequited love between her two least pleasant coworkers and, in order to save everyone from certain doom, ropes Sonya, Ahab and Aseah into a conspiracy to force the two together. Thus begins a tale of troubles, tribulations and tropes.

    Summary

    Newly ten years old, Jia Baoyu already knows that there’s very little he can do to change the world around him. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t wish things were different though. So when a venture with his Grandmother takes him into the fallen La Manchaland, Jia Baoyu decides to try and help someone, one last time.

    Don Quixote of La Manchaland has spent the last two hundred years dwelling on all his failures, and has come to the only logical conclusion: That his nature as a bloodfiend prevents any manner of change, and that his dream had been nothing but a fantasy. With his family dead, he has resigned himself to the same fate; only to end up living with a small human child who still has a dream of his own.

    Maybe they can both learn something from each other.

    (Or: Jia Baoyu dreams, Jia Mu schemes, and Don Quixote relearns what it means to try.)

    Summary

    A less fortunate version of Heathcliff tries to make something of himself for Catherine.

    The Full Stop Office seems like just the sort of place to start to make that life. A place that will take him if no one else will, and a boss that’s nothing if not the smiling sort. He’ll take what he can get until he’s the man Catherine needs, but-

    Damn him, if his feelings don’t get in the way first.

    Summary

    Tamsy wakes up alone on a strange beach, in a strange place, unlike anywhere he has ever been.

    He meets familiar people to whom he is completely foreign.

    He has been completely removed from his power, his plans, and any sense of forward movement he had been experiencing not even last week. Even worse, he's being treated as a slightly unsettling presence.

    He'll have to just cope with it, won't he?

    Summary

    “Uhh—You’re Zanka, right?” Enjin could've sworn that the suicidal teen he talked out of that well sounded like a guy; they talked for a decent amount of time, so he should be able to tell.

    Said teen stood in front of him now, and Enjin wondered if he had it all wrong. The well that he—or she—maybe they?—hid themselves in was a dark place, so Enjin couldn't exactly get a full grasp of their appearance.

    ---

    Or, 5 times people questioned whether Zanka was a girl or a boy, 1 time Zanka accepted that they're neither.

    Zanka had always been weak. He’d always known it. But lately, it felt like the world was determined to make sure he never forgot.

     

    Or: Zanka's past, present and future as a member of the Cleaners.

    Read for extended Zanka angst, mind the tags for warnings. I’m a sucker for a happy ending but there will be suffering on the path that leads to it. It gets better before it gets worse before it gets better.

    He needs to get it out. There’s no time for hesitation or for overthinking, no. The only time he has should be used to get this– whatever it may be– out of his body before it’s too late. Before something bad happens.

    After the fight in the trash-beast belly, Zanka feels something isn't right. He takes matters into his own hands.

    Summary

    Azul knew transactions. He knew dealmaking. He knew the art of it; he reveled in it.

    Which was exactly why he understood just how dangerous it was to be the product of such a deal.

    Kidnapped from his home, he found himself being presented and sold at an underground auction on land. Held captive in the home of his new "buyer", Azul believed his situation can't get much worse. That was before his captor stole his voice, transformed him into a blot-covered monster, and sold him off to a strange research facility.

    Azul understood nothing about being a test subject. Unfortunately, he was about to learn.

    With only his wits to depend on, the task of escape seems insurmountable. However, his key to freedom could be right in front of him, in the form of two brothers; one stricken by grief, and the other not quite human.

    Only time will tell. And it's running out fast.

    ——————————

    Alternatively: Azul's only hope is some gamer guy who may or may not be suffering under the crippling weight of indescribable, bone-crushing guilt

    The sequel is finally here!
