Summary
Inspired by the famous Simpsons episode '22 Short Films About Springfield'. While the escapades of the titular Thomas and his friends are the main focus of the show, there are dozens of other engines living on the island who all have their own lives and stories to tell. How about we take a look at some of those stories, spanning just a few hundred words in length? 22 stories, to be exact.
(No, there is no 'Steamed Hams' bit, but I am absolutely going to reference it in some fashion cos I'm not going to waste a good 'steam' joke.)

Summary
Charlie is a very funny tank engine who loves telling jokes. It's his favourite thing to do in the whole world! But underneath all those puns and laughs is an ever-looming dread that something is wrong with him. He doesn't know what. Or why. But something is off. If only he could figure it out…
Pieces start falling into place, however, when he's to escort an inspector to the china clay pits. A fascinating conversation between the Inspector and the clay twins reveals something about those twins that Charlie never knew. And it might just help him… or perhaps 'her'… figure out what's wrong.
(OR, the rumours and speculation over Charlie being genderswapped in the 2026 show inspired me to write a story about her realising that she's actually a girl.)

Summary
One night, James wakes up from a horrible dream. A dream about betraying the person one cares for the most. A dream that makes him feel dirty just thinking about it. A dream that has him questioning what kinds of cruelty he's capable of.
Good thing Jessie's there, huh?
(Directly inspired by something that happened between me and my girlfriend.)

Summary
A shared job between Edward and James takes a horrific turn when Edward is the victim of a horrible accident. An accident so horrible that he's sent to the steamworks with no way to know for sure if he'll make it out okay. The engines are met with the possibility that he may be beyond repair, where there could be no choice but to scrap him.
With Edward's fate in the air, his friends are left to deal with the extreme emotions that anyone would go through at a time like this. No engine has quite the same experience. Whether it be a growing frustration at the world, an insistence that everything will be fine, or a desire to work harder than ever. No one's getting out of this in one piece.
OR, I inadvertently made S21's "Springtime for Diesel" but it's Edward instead of Daisy, and arguably a lot more serious.
(Aight, all those misspellings of 'Knapford' should be fixed now)

Summary
An ordinary day for the Rockets quickly becomes not-so-ordinary when they find, of all things, a Leafeon giving birth in their secret base. They don’t know how she got there, but they do know that they now have five babies to tend to. Jessie is freaking out, James is quickly growing attached, and Meowth might just find himself becoming a stepdad. Like it or not, Momma and her five babies are part of the family now. And, as far as Meowth is concerned, babies grow up too fast.
(Mammalian Pokémon give live birth in this story. Also the only reason why it’s a Leafeon is because it’s my favourite Pokémon.)
