Summary
Tori frowns. “I do not understand. If it bothers ye, why do ye not just cut it?”
Gyrus groans, pulls his ballcap down lower, and shoves his face into his arms. “I don’t want to be bald.”
“Ainju is bald.”
Gyrus groans again.

Summary
There’s no dramatic, world-ending scene when Gyrus gets married.
No one says, “I object.”
Fire doesn’t rain down from heaven to strike him down for blasphemy. For marrying someone he doesn’t love while his heart is still in the world of the living. Hating him with every step.
The earth doesn’t split open and swallow him.

Summary
He’s got his hands on Kodya’s hips and is pressed up against him. Sticks his face into Kodya’s hair and runs his hands under the apron. “You went to the store like this?” Bites him on the shoulder.
Kodya shudders. “W-wore. Your sweatshirt.”
Gyrus whispers, “Hot.”
Kodya leans back into him comfortably. With the ease of years of practice. “Will I be hotter when these pancakes are done?”
“Instead of pancakes, what if I want your come for breakfast?”
Based on amazing art by Borb_Calytrix!!!

Summary
“The warriors are going to come and get me,” Jade said, out loud to the air. “They just have to collect everybody who got blown away in the storm, and that’s going to take a little bit of time. I need to—” She took a deep breath, looking around. “I need to take care of myself until they get here.”
If you got lost in the forest you were supposed to stay in one place, but this didn’t seem like a good place to stay. She didn’t have any way to start a fire, and the herdbeasts visible above the grass were too big for a half-grown queen to take down by herself. There weren’t even any fish in the water, just a series of scuttling crabs the size of her thumbnail. And—she eyed the crevice she’d been in overnight—there really wasn’t any shelter.
“If there’s a fire, that means a groundling city,” Jade said, out loud again to hear herself talk. The wind pulled at the dry grass growing out of the ruins, a rustling wave. “Groundlings have shelter and food, and if I go there and stay there, the warriors can find me there, right?”
OR: Jade is left alone in a groundling city as a child, and there she meets a groundling named Moon

Summary
We all know the old joke: a rogue SecUnit walks into a bar. The bartender, a rogue ComfortUnit in hiding who's been having one hell of a day, takes one look at it and has a bad idea.
Really. It's a terrible idea. Dragging a rogue SecUnit home for a one night stand is probably the most dangerous thing it's ever considered.
Luckily, the rogue SecUnit in question is Three. And if Three knows one thing about itself, it's that it wants to help.
Somewhere on Preservation, there's a tiny cabin on a big homestead, where stubborn purple flowers refuse to die. In the cabin, in the aftermath, a pair of equally stubborn constructs have an idea that, just maybe, isn't terrible at all.
