Summary
An envisioning of the ever-popular journey Caleb and Essek take to the T-Dock, exploring why Caleb chose Essek to join him, the internal struggle that would have taken place leading up to Caleb’s final decision, and the slow process of healing through a developing relationship.
---
At the narrow desk before him, at the centre of the room, sat Essek, straight backed and hands steepled, his form swallowed by the heaps of books and maps about him. His eyes were dark, rimmed with rings of exhaustion, his appearance unusually messy, the traces of finger tracks still visible through his hair.
"Hey," Caleb attempted to sound casual. //You sound like a dunce.//

Summary
Set just after the Makai Tournament and before Yusuke returns to Human World, this story delves into the nature of the relationship between Yusuke and Kurama. Now that the dust of the fighting has settled and the three worlds are seemingly at peace, Yusuke decides to embark on one last quest, a pilgrimage through Demon World with Kurama as his guide. The duo will face trials by three ancient rites that will help them come to terms with how they feel about themselves, their future, and each other.
----
“Yeah… I want to see the world. Or as much of it as I can at least.”
Koenma contemplated Yusuke before replying, “I was wondering if you might say that. I was going to propose that you attempt the Pilgrimage of Gandara.”
An impressive silence followed his proclamation. “Oh you’re so dramatic, Koenma! Why not explain what it is first?”

SC-P6-PCP-DFaden: … did you really find hot dogs?
Zed: it was supposed to be a surprise, but yes. Rube's teams found a whole refrigerated warehouse that was untouched by the patterning somewhere in the Western Incursion zone. It was floating above the road by itself, and still is. Honestly it looks like it popped back into place on its own, possibly bc of the world knitting itself back together. Research can ask all the questions they want, don't know, don't care. We can make food again! Real food!!! if I find eggplant in there i'm going to make tortang talong and i WILL cry into the pan
SC-P6-PCP-DFaden: Rube?
Zed: sorry - Ruboneka goes by that in another channel haha
SC-P6-PCP-DFaden: tortang talong?
Zed: lmao sry - kind of an eggplant omelet? Filipino dish. its so good.
SC-P6-PCP-DFaden: 'lmao' ??
Zed: i'm gonna mcfuckin lose it
SC-P6-PCP-DFaden: just kidding I know what that one means==

Summary
Dylan is inside the Gap. The Gap is inside Dylan. It also contains: The Board, the Hiss, and his dog.
But what else?
When something starts to go wrong inside the Gap, Dylan begins to act increasingly erratically. Is he losing his mind, as he and the FBC believe, or is there a paranatural cause? And what does this have to do with Jesse?
Will Dylan, Zoe De Vera, Emily Pope, and the FBC be able to figure out what's going on, help Dylan, and save Jesse before it's too late?
(spoiler: yes they will but not without a lot a of misery for Dylan, intrigue, and the author's crackpot theories about lore.)

Summary
Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.
And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.
OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

Summary
River Cartwright doesn't like sex, and he doesn't like dating. Somehow, an ill-fated conversation with Spider, the first close friend he makes as an adult, where he tries to explain this results in River finding himself in a friends-with-benefits arrangement that he doesn't remember agreeing to, doesn't want, and can't find a way out of.
It's not like it's... it's not like it isn't his fault. That's what River tells himself. He lets it happen, after all, so who else can be to blame? He doesn't get to be traumatized by this. It's not like he was raped. Later on, when people start finding out, they have a different opinion. To them, it's clear that this is in fact exactly what happened.
OR: Five times someone learned about what Spider did to River, and one person who already knew. Ft. repulsed aroace River, a heap of internalized victim blaming and aphobia, and the pain of not having the words to describe who you are and what's happened to you.
