    Summary

    “Okay.” Steve buries his head in his arms face down on the coffee table in his basement. “Okay. A major lab incident I can get behind. Shit, the kid going missing I can understand. But what the hell do you mean there are monsters now?!”

    “He didn’t say monsters,” Paperboy rolls his eyes, which looks really funny since he is doing a headstand against the wall. “Don’t be dramatic, Finney.”

    “Griffin said the words ‘slimy tentacle vines of unimaginable cosmic horrors’” Steve deadpans, still face down.

    “That doesn’t immediately mean monster.”

    -

    Steve Harrington has heard the phone ringing ever since he got out of the basement. Moving to Hawkins, Indiana didn't do much to change that.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan has been transmigrated into the body of a nameless random in a wuxia universe and has yet to figure out which one...or at least that was the case until his terrible neighbors fished a baby out of the river.
     -
    “Is that a baby?” Shen Yuan squawked before being hushed from every angle. A few of the men looked over their shoulders back towards the village and Shen Yuan abruptly understood the root of their concern.

    They didn’t want their wives to overhear.

    ‘Not good,’ Shen Yuan thought. They wouldn’t be worried about that if they weren’t planning to do something awful.

    “It’s a fish,” one of the older, burlier men who acted as the de facto leader of the river folk said as he fixed Shen Yuan with a glare. “Just a fish.”
    -
    Or: that one where Shen Yuan is just a fisherman. Did you not hear him say that he was just a fisherman? Why does no one believe him when he says that?

    Summary

    Here’s the thing. Etho meant to go to Hermitcraft- he really did. But something obviously got messed up- some wire got crossed, some thread got tangled, and now he was not there. Instead, he’s stuck with three kids who seem to think that he’s a guy named Kakashi (them and everyone else) and while he would work on leaving, all the fuss is pretty entertaining.

    Eh, he’ll find his way home eventually. No need to rush…

    Summary

    From one point of view: An emergency message has aurors Shacklebolt and Porthaven dispatched to excentric Runemaster Beldaruit's abode. There they are met with the master himself and his seven apprentices, all of them in good health despite the obvious signs of struggle, four wands snapped and all of them lacking memories of regular magic.

    From another point of view: eight witches wake up in a strange house after Starfell Night. And immediately they are confronted with the fact that two of their number have been deaged. Is this forbidden magic? No? Yes? What has happened? Why do these people think they belong to this place? How are they using that stick magic? Is anything forbidden of them? And what is with these family names?! Arctome is not her name and last Agate checked, professor Olruggio was NOT related to her!

    Summary

    "But your nest, Xiaohei," said Fengxi, startled out of his dark mutterings. "What about your nest?""

    Xiaohei, who had not felt the need to sleep in that phenomenally fluffy nest for a while, and who had actually grown up quite a bit from the kitten he once was, said reasonably, “I don’t need a nest when I have you guys. Anyway, it’s like you’ve forgotten that I haven’t even used that hollow in ages.”

    Fengxi remained inconsolable. He seemed like he was on the verge of muttering himself into a fit, angry hisses slipping intermittently out of his throat.

    [As Phil Collins once said: In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn. Fengxi discovers new methods of achieving his goals.]
