Summary
“Okay,” Mike said. “So it’s not dangerous. We just gotta wait it out until it goes back to normal.”
It sounded nice and simple. In practice, it turned out that catching random glimpses of alternate versions of you and your teammates in the midst of a desperate fight for their lives wasn’t much fun.

Frowning himself, Dirk glanced at the card Gamzee was holding, a fancy thing with gold foil scrolling all around the edges and elegant script.
You are cordially invited to the
wedding of
Dirk Strider & Gamzee Makara!
There was a note in pen at the bottom of the invitation. I gave you a chance to get there first and you dragged your heels, lil bro. It's my show now. - Bro

Summary
“I could use some. Help,” Mike gets out, and Chuck stares, because Mike’s cheeks and ears are going ruddy. He hasn’t seen Mike blush since they were ten.
Much less surprisingly, Chuck’s face is also burning now. “Help with?” he asks, a little high-pitched but mostly steady.
“Uh,” Mike says, looking anywhere but at Chuck’s face. “I was just, y’know, letting off some steam, and I,” his voice falls to a hurried mumble, “tried putting something in and it got stuck.”

Summary
I was twenty-seven when my mother died, and twenty-nine when I held the funeral, because I was too stubborn to do it until I knew I wouldn't be the only one there. She had pretended to love hundreds of people. I was determined that at least two of us would pretend to love her back.

Summary
If you could choose a world to be isekaied into, you probably wouldn't choose the videogame Age of Tales.
It's a painfully generic medieval RPG with a very generic "farm boy becomes a hero" storyline. Or farmgirl, if you go that route. There's some moral choices, but overall the story is very linear from start to finish, and no matter how evil you try to play it, the game inevitably ends with the chosen farmboy (or girl) saving the world. Age of Tales has a very generic cast of characters with very generic backstories, even more generic villains with very basic evil plots, and side quests right out of early free to play mmorpgs. Overall the game is just very… mid.
Upon release the game was a massive flop.
And Katie has happily sunk nearly six hundred hours into it.

Summary
Nonstop civilian protest duty for over a month, the senate's latest hobby seems to be getting abducted for kicks, and now he had to deal with a camdroid shaped pain-in-the-ass following his every move. The powers that be seemed to think that putting him and the rest of the Guard in some holo was the best way to work up some civilian sympathy. Well, at least there was no way his day could get any worse...

Summary
“So,” Jade says, marching on ahead with her list like a determined little artilleripper, tapping at her papers. “The…Dark Carnival.” She sounds it out every part one after the other, ‘fatal-funny cullpit of the messiahs’, like how a corpse dismembered and all laid out turns into pieces instead of a whole troll.
“Dark Carnival,” you say, putting the corpse back together to show her, fast and fluid how it’s supposed to flow.
“Dark Carnival,” Jade repeats after you, choking just a little on the shift of chirr into click. “Okay! Say me what does that mean?”
