Summary
[edited to include a photograph of a crochet pixie!Alex at the end] It had gotten so bad Roisin had dragged him to the doctor, and now Greg was here - at a last-minute booked AirBnB in the countryside with strict instructions to rest and for god's sake - get some sleep. As if it were that easy; every inch of Greg ached with exhaustion, but sleep? Sleep was so much worse.
Greg resolved to get through the next few days grumpily, miserably, and - of course - devastatingly alone in the entirely rational, and not magical at all, picturesque little Horne Cottage.
A rambling, gentle, melancholy, and silly story of Greg and an even more little than usual, Alex, meeting and becoming friends. Alex is a fluttering little pixie in this. Greg is still Greg.

Summary
According to "The Story of... Patatas", the Taskmaster's stuffed toy cat, Patatas, is down to his last of his nine lives. It's said he spends much of his time searching for a magical elixir that might restore some of his lives.
Which is ridiculous. Patatas is a stuffed toy. A prop from the Taskmaster UK show, useful for the comedian contestants to use, abuse, and abandon as is convenient. No-one would really go on a quest for a magical elixir for him. That'd be silly.

It’s much too late by the time Alex realises something is seriously wrong. Much, much too late.
“We need to stop now!” he orders, running forward like it’s somehow gonna make any difference at all.
Too late.
No… is all he can think, watching as Ed’s body goes limp, slumping in the saddle and dangerously listing sideways before plummeting towards the hard ground –

Basically, a what if Ed had discovered his horse allergy during Taskmaster instead?

Summary
You see, I do not often attend the ballet with a guest, with the exception of…”
Ah.
The silence Neuvillette allowed to permeate as they entered the Opera Epiclese’s enormous foyer was shockingly vulnerable. Wriothesley was never one to push touchy subjects, but he had been overtly interested in the obvious. Just why had their Hydro Archon withdrawn from her post, and how was the lone justice of Fontaine faring with the loss after close to five-hundred years spent in her presence?
Wriothesley kept pace with the Iudex’s metrical gait, watching him even as he handed his ticket to the ostiary.
“Well. This marks the first Swan Lake performance I will be observing unaccompanied.”
OR: Wriothesley's love for the symphony offers him insight into the Chief Justice of Fontaine's innermost thoughts and desires.
How he wishes he were a part of them.

Summary
The heavens have a cruel sense of humor; we are all but leaves on the winds of fate.
Yet the truth still reflects in the mirror, and even a single leaf still has weight.In which the Sages have been overthrown, and the Balladeer defeated, when things suddenly go very, very wrong.
