Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
Performance Issues, HotGuy?
By GrianIn recent weeks, HotGuy has been leaving much to be desired on the battlefield. It seems after many long, hard fights, he just can’t keep it up. He used to be quite anal about his victories, but now he’s had a few close calls. Could it be that his arrows just aren’t what they used to be? Is he firing blanks? I wouldn’t be surprised if his enemies are having to fake their defeat. Of course, HotGuy is far from the only man who struggles to hit the target, so maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh.
Three of HotGuy’s record fights for injuries and collateral damage have all occurred this month, an alarming statistic in the face of the continued attacks. The root of the issue may be difficult to swallow…Series

Summary
'He wakes up again. This time, he can hear better. He can gear the clatter of someone working at a crafting bench, and the meow of his cat. He can almost hear the cloud-soft footsteps that walk over to him. The figure is a mass of coloured dots, like most things have been for Scar lately. If he strains his eyes hard enough, he can sort of make out that the dotty figure is wearing a suit, and his hair isn't too long.'

Scar knows how dangerous vex magic can be. That's why he's trained to keep himself under control, why there are so many safety measures put in place to keep those around him safe.
But what happens when he loses control? When those safety measures fail?

things my heart used to know (things it yearns to remember) by Moonsetvoid
Fandoms: 3rd Life | Last Life SMP Series, Hermitcraft SMP

Summary
Scar can’t answer, too busy trying to control his breathing. It was Grian who had helped him build their home in the desert. It was Grian who had chosen to stay by his side, even after he didn’t have to anymore. It was Grian who had sat on the mountain with him, pointing out the stars and naming them.
It was Grian who had looked at him when they were the only two left, and had said there had to be a winner. It was Grian who had led him back to their mountain, hand in hand, and beat him to death in the shifting sands.
Grian remembered none of it.
OR,
The prize of the victor is to forget what they had to do to win. This causes problems for Scar, who has developed a fear of Grian and can’t tell him why.Bookmarked by PuggyBut

Summary
Lost and alone at the end of the world, Jon decides to try one last idea. It goes wrong, as his ideas usually do, when both the Web and the Spiral decide to interfere with what he's doing. For once the disaster goes his favor. Mostly.
He wouldn't have chosen to go back in time to when he was eight years old. He certainly wouldn't have chosen to catch Elias freaking Bouchard's attention before he's had a chance to do anything. And he cannot believe that his luck is so monumentally bad that he gets adopted by the man who wants to use him to end the world.
Jon has to figure out how to keep Elias away, while saving his friends and the world. And hopefully growing old enough that he can go anywhere on his own and be taken seriously.

the spiteful seventh by Stormsaia

Summary
He got tired of walking on rooftops after a while, so clambering down another questionable fire escape, he found himself in an alley, trash scattering the edges, a dumpster sitting outside a nearby restaurant. His eyes swept over the alley, a routine scan of his surroundings—what was that?
A feather lay forgotten on the ground, not too far from where Jimmy stood. He picked it up, twirling it between his thumb and forefinger. It was bright white, speckled with a tawny brown. He’d only ever seen that shade of feather once before—and it sure wasn’t a bird.
It belonged to Jeopardy, the winged vigilante. The missing vigilante.
___
Or, vigilantes start disappearing, and it's up to those who remain to solve the mystery.
Or or, seven souls, seven powers, and a dangerous plan.Series

Summary
An SMP can mean many things to a player.
It can mean a good time. A place to retreat when private servers and test worlds just don't live up to expectations. It can mean war, murder, and griefing. It can mean friends, games, and challenges. The list goes on and on.
But one SMP means... a bit more to its residents.
It means family.

Summary
“You seem like you’re in a bad mood,” the spinel observed from behind him.
Aquamarine gritted his teeth. “I- yes, I’m in a bad mood. How are you not? We’re stranded out here, and we might never go home, and it’s all-“
It’s all my fault, he stopped short of saying, because after the initial panic, he’d resolved to lay at least some blame on the spinel, mostly for his own peace of mind.
After all, if it hadn’t gotten poofed, like an idiot, everything would have been fine.
(In which mistakes are made.)

Summary
Blade-Three, also known as Three, is the living weapon of the Watchers. Conditioned to follow orders, it is meant to use its considerable strength, combat abilities, and total loyalty to obliterate the enemies of the Watchers. Of course, the "following orders" part comes first, which is how, when Listener agent Martyn InTheLittleWood comes along with the right command words, he manages to steal it.
Now, instead of missions that make any sense, Three must navigate as Martyn and his roommate Jimmy attempt to teach it how to be human, or at least enough of a person to be itself. It would help if either Martyn or Jimmy knew how to be human either, and if they weren't falling apart at the seams after the death of an old friend.
(And of course, there's the matter of Three's original identity, a question no one thinks to ask...)
Or: in which Evo had a bad end, and five years later, the pieces that were left behind start to accidentally fall back together.

Summary
“My name is Grian and I’m safe,” he whispers, trying to steady his trembling hands. He screws his eyes shut and takes a shaky breath. With his eyes closed, he can ignore the way the walls of his mansion seem to flicker out of existence, the way the soft shadows cast by torchlight splinter into jagged tendrils of darkness and creep ever closer.
“It’s not real.” He shakes his head. “I’m home and I’m safe.”

Summary
Another scream rose in his throat. He wondered how much longer it would go on for, how much longer before what was left of his voice gave out, or whether he was just doomed to scream forever.
He wanted it to stop. He wanted this all to stop. Most of all, though, he wanted what he couldn’t have.
Revenge.
---
Or;
Grian never made it out of the dark and dingy basement, never made his escape from the town that haunted his teen years. Sam went too far, and now Grian is dead.
However, he's far from the only ghost to roam the halls of a cursed high school at night. Finding himself trapped within the halls he once walked when he was alive, Grian is determined to make something of this seemingly endless existence.
He just never quite expected that something to be a family.Series
