    Summary

    Wirt's soul is caught in the lantern in place of the Beast. In the normal world, Wirt's relationship with his family is improving, and he and Sara have been spending time with each other, but the Unknown is calling him back.

    How long can Wirt play pretend? He won't be able to ignore its pull for long. And what will give out first his body or his mind?

    The Unknown is set off-kilter without its Beast. The residents are relieved not to be in constant terror, but soon enough something will fill the gap. Who can guess if that being will be benevolent or something worse. Wirt has gained the attention of a power who likely does not have his best interests at heart. Wirt will be the new Beast. No matter how he squirms and struggles.

    Summary

    It's easy to hate someone when you're twelve years old, and they're the only thing standing between you and the love you so desperately crave.

    It's much, much harder to hate someone when you're getting old too fast and they're the last person who still cares enough to show up.

    alternatively titled "a somewhat ridiculous biopsy on potentially the most un-serious show ever", or, "dib and zim go on a horrible journey of discovering emotional maturity".

    Summary

    Everybody had expected Monarch's defeat to be a moment of triumph. Nobody had expected Gabriel Agreste, unmasked and mind frayed from continual abuse of the miraculous, crying out to all who would listen and making Paris certain of one thing:

    His son, Adrien Agreste, is one of his sentimonsters.

    And now he's missing.

    Nobody can find him— not even the superheroes, and not even his closest friends. But Marinette, Nino, and Alya aren't ones to give up so easily. They'll find him, no matter what it takes.

    (But, geez, would it kill Chat Noir to lend a hand?)

    Summary

    Things change every time It sleeps. It is dog, soldier, the winter soldier, asset. It cannot remember being called anything else, cannot remember what it was like being out from under someone's thumb. Handlers change, grow old, new ones replace them. They retrain It to fit their needs and It lets them. Every time It is put into the cold machine to sleep, It wonders if the next time It wakes, will It have a new handler?

    The first thing It sees is blue. Warm blue eyes narrowed like It’s worth something.
