    Summary

    DeLorne's women were considered a trademark of the art of Christophe DeLorne, a renowned painter of the 1920s. There has been much speculation as to the identity of the red-haired women in his paintings; was it several women or just one? What scholars of DeLorne's art don’t know is that the real DeLorne woman, the muse of all his work, is actually a young man.

    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    What if Kabru didn’t believe in Santa Claus, and Mithrun was a very different type of elf?

    “...okay, probably a stupid question, but what’s a krampus?” Kabru asked. He jolted slightly when he heard the heavy thumping of something moving around on the roof overhead. It sounded like an elephant was on top of his house, and about to come crashing through the ceiling. “...is that a krampus?”

    “Yuh,” Mithrun responded. “They’re monsters that feed off of people’s sadness. Look like big goat-men. They know I’m inside, and they want to finish me off.”

    “Why?” Kabru asked, his forehead creasing in confusion.

    “I told you, I’m a level 5--” Mithrun started to say, but apparently he realized repeating himself wasn’t going to help, and he heaved a huge frustrated sigh. “I work for Santa Claus. They want to stop us from bringing joy to the world.”

    “Santa’s not real,” Kabru said, feeling a little bit hysterical.

    “You’re applying pressure to a stab wound on an elf,” Mithrun replied. “Santa’s real. He writes my paychecks.”
