Summary
A golden light snaps off the branch of a dying tree and drifts down into the darkness. The remaining animals, living out their days with what pieces they have left, taste hope for the first time in years. A child—unsteady, untrained, and afraid—must rise against the end of what little life remains. But there is more to saving a land than returning the Light to its cradle, and if all goes well, she will be the last spirit that Nibus will ever see.

Summary
Slugcats are clever; very clever indeed. You wouldn’t know that upon first meeting, but it doesn't take a long time spent around one to realize this; they watch, they listen and they follow instructions. One though is bigger, heavier, a bit fatter and a whole lot cleverer than the rest. And Cleverness tends to attract Cleverness, which teaches its cleverness to other clever creatures.
Five Pebbles just didn’t see any of that though.

Summary
But this was not a normal cycle. Moon could not feel her Can. She was not connected to her umbilical. Her neurons were flitting around aggressively, pushing against her face, concerned. She attempted speech, to calm them.
She chittered instead.

Summary
Five Pebbles is being consumed by his past mistakes. His can festers away, each cycle spreading the malignant Rot inside, and struggle as he may, there is no escape. But a single pearl, stumbled upon by his last citizen, Artificer, in a stroke of pure luck, shows him a way out. A way to free himself from his can, escape the Rot, and maybe find a way to redeem himself for his past. It's as simple as cutting a puppet's strings.
The outside world is dangerous, but with determination and fierce companionship, Pebbles and his group of strange slugcat companions can not only survive, but find a place for themselves in the world, where the new civilizations of slugcat and scavenger rise from the ashes of the ancients. The ghosts of the past can be overcome, and a new future found, but it will require no shortage of bravery, insight, and determination.
Breaking free is just the first step. The real challenge begins after.

Summary
Christmas Eve had turned out to be a miserable time for Haida, and by extension, Fenneko, but Retsuko was having the time of her life... or, was she, really?
Was snooping for the truth even worth the effort, if it was just going to put Haida on another downward spiral? That decision was in Fenneko's hands.
An alternate telling/divergence from the 'We Wish You a Metal Christmas' special. Post-Season 1.
