    Summary

    Go to the Sentinel/Guide conference, Lydia said. It’ll be useful, Lydia said. You might even find your Sentinel, Lydia said, because of course in the ridiculous town of Beacon Hills that’s full of supernatural creatures there is precisely one Sentinel of the right age and Parrish is already her Guide.

    Summary

    After everything that happened in the last years, all Shinichi really wishes for is to live a quiet, autonomous life. It's a simple wish, a modest outlook in a world where everyone is hoping for so much more. It's just as unattainable, it turns out.

    Summary

    When Ann realizes their math teacher has spotted Akira nodding off in the desk behind hers, she braces herself for what's about to follow. Sure enough, the chalk flies past her and hits Akira smack in the forehead, knocks him awake, and sends a flurry of horrible nightmare syllables tumbling out of his mouth from the sheer surprise.

    The language of Shadows sounds sharp and strange in the mundane banality of the classroom. Ann schools her expression, and does her best to project an air of nope, nothing's wrong, nothing to see here, there's definitely no one speaking in horrible eldritch tongues, why would you even say that?

    -//-
    -//-

    In which Shadows have a language of their own, and the power of the Wild Card lets Akira speak it too.

    It's too bad it makes him sound like he's speaking in some kind of cursed, inhuman, monster tongue, but the rest of the Phantom Thieves get used to it.

    Eventually.

    Summary

    It starts like most things with Zack start: completely at random, impossible to predict, and yet completely in line with his character.

    To be fair, it's the last thing Cloud would expect to hear come out of his mouth. Everyone knows Zack gets around. It's not a secret. It's easy to do when your hickies don't last longer than ten minutes. He's got stories of being in five beds in one night. He's joked with Cloud that he's got, 'way too many dick appointments, Shiva's tits man, I need to stop flirting with people'. He, of course, did not stop flirting with people.
    -
    "Okay," Zack announces once Cloud sits down again, clapping his hands together. "I got an idea. I'm going to call my husband."

    Cloud's spits his coffee out, thankfully into his cup rather than out across the table. There's a three second beat where he loses all cognition while Zack pulls his PHS out, and then Cloud's brain restarts.

    "What?"

    -
    Or
    Why the fuck is Zack married to so many people when he's already a slut? That and more shenanigans witnessed through the eyes of Cloud Strife

    Summary

    It starts, embarrassingly enough, with an ad from Craigslist:

    "I’m a 21 y.o art student (male), writing a thesis on the relationship between performance and the awareness of the audience. You don’t care about that. I’m an actor offering to give you the most dramatic night of your life. I’ll be your date to any event/function/family gathering, and convince your friends/family members that I’m either: the biggest mistake of your life or the best thing that ever happened to you. Up to you. I’m very good at what I do."

    Summary

    Halvik slapped his knee. “Good! Lucky for you, men are not rare. Easy to replicate.”

    Laurent’s eyes narrowed. “If you are suggesting that I fuck another man –”

    She waved a hand. “No, no man needed. Just the cock.” Halvik grinned. “You have them here, no? Wood, stone, glass – fake cocks. Until your Akielon king returns.”

    Laurent opened his mouth, then closed it, his mind suddenly filled with very, very explicit visuals. “Glass? Is that…safe?”

    Summary

    “Marriage,” Prince Auguste bursts out and everyone stares.
    “A marriage between our royal families,” he clarifies, visibly clearing his throat and his head before he continues, “To symbolize the pact between our kingdoms, for generations to come. Not foes, not friends, but family.”

    Summary

    It’s been, by Ryuji’s rough estimation, two months now. Two months and Ren—Ren Amamiya, his confidant, his partner-in-crime, his very best friend in the whole world—still hasn’t introduced him to the guy he’s dating. Or shown him a picture. Or given him a name. Or anything!

    But it’s fine. It’s fine. Ryuji can be supportive while also being held completely in the dark, it’s fine.

    He’s literally going to die if he doesn’t meet this guy soon.

    Summary

    The Thing, though. The boy-shaped Thing.

    The Thing is not a metal almost-person, not like Spring is used to. But it is most certainly not a human, either. It's unsettling to look at, somewhere between a corpse long-dead and a carapace long-shed, and it doesn't act like anything living or almost-living Spring has ever met. Most infuriating of all is that the Lady seems to like the Thing, despite how unnatural it is! She welcomes it into Spring’s hotel like a guest and talks to it like a person.

    The nerve of it all. The betrayal.

    Spring's hotel has an intruder. It's not quite human, but maybe it's trying to learn how to be one. Spring POV of P from the start of the game until after the King of Puppets fight.

    Summary

    You had never expected to come face to face with actual crime when you started to work for rich people. Right up until you were asked to serve at a party and you saw both a wondrous and a horrifying sight: a captive mer.

    Beautiful and deadly and kept in a tank, and despite the danger of the situation, despite the fact that he was clearly very capable of killing you if he felt like it, you couldn't turn your back on him. Doubly so when a mer-child was unexpectedly added to the mix.

    Really, what were you supposed to do but help them escape and hope you'd survive that experience? And why was that dangerous mer watching you like that?

    Summary

    Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there.

    Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers.

    Gotham's vigilante's have other plans.

    This is why Danny doesn't do favors.

    Summary

    The Hermit's Cave didn't offer the most comfortable accommodations, but it was a relatively safe place to rest and recover while the group planned their next move. The reprieve gave Romeo time to think, Carlo time to overthink, and P time to adjust to the dynamic developing between the three of them.

    Romeo POV interlude taking place between chapters 7 and 8 of Beneath Some Happier Star; best read after chapter 8.

    Summary

    “Are you planning to tell me how I’m still alive?” Romeo asks.

    P blinks, perhaps surprised at Romeo’s coherency, or vitriol, or both. “I was able to preserve your Ergo. It was easy enough to construct that body after my own schematics."

    Slowly, Romeo forces air into his chest, a humming buzz the only sensation beneath his fingertips. “And what does that make me now?”

    The smile P gives is odd, as though he’s both unfamiliar with the practice of it and the emotion behind it all at once. “Like me, I think.”

    Or, Romeo is revived in a puppet body similar to P's, just in time to meet a familiar face from Venigni's past that threatens both his quickly forming bond with P and all of Krat's new, fragile peace.

    Summary

    The last thing Lea saw when she closed her eyes in the Rose Garden was the corpse of the gray-haired stranger. The last thing she felt was grief. She and her mysterious companion had failed, and Romeo would pay the price just as Carlo had before. She had been living a nightmare which had finally come to its bloody, bitter end.

    It must have been a nightmare. Why else would she have woken up?

    Meanwhile, P awoke to a Krat even more foreign to him than the one he'd seen in Lea's time. This bright, thriving city had yet to experience the worst of its troubles. And with the Carlo of this time still alive and well, P realized he could keep it that way. Alone, it would be a difficult fight. Luckily, someone who had lived those same nightmares was just as determined to keep them from ever coming to pass.

    Summary

    Any work at sea was dangerous because of the merfolk and you had learned early to be wary, to watch the water and the fish and to react fast the second something felt even a smidgeon off to you. You had no desire to get attacked again, to add to the scars you already carried on your body.

    Mers were monsters in your opinion and the less you had to do with them the better - right up until the day you met one of the most dangerous mers of your life. A siren with eyes bluer than the sky and sea combined and hair the color of shimmering frost. Where others saw a divinely beautiful creature all you saw was death smiling back at you.
