Summary
Julia clicks it, then immediately yanks her hand away from the computer, as if that would undo what she had done. Nothing happens for a beat, and then two, and then a trademark red hat appears on the blank screen, followed by a stream of words:
I KNEW YOU’D CATCH ON ;)
Julia blushes despite herself, and then a real email appears across the screen, one she’s positive belongs to Carmen. She briefly considers the weight of her next actions, but before she knows it, she’s adding Carmen to her contact list, and emailing her (with a new personal but somewhat disguised email, of course).
OR;
Julia is a very cautious person, she swears. But maybe, when Devineaux starts getting emails about his cars extended warranty, there's more to it than meets the eye. And just maybe, she'll figure out whatever the hell Carmen means in each message.

Summary
The nightmares were a constant the first couple of nights.
Link hadn’t really known where to take Zelda when it was all over. He had ended up picking his house - where else was there to go? - in Hateno village. Zelda clung to him like a lost child at first, her dress muddied and torn. For how many years had she worn it? For how many years had she suffered while he slept?
Focus. She needed him.
OR;Link and Zelda pick up the pieces after the defeat of Calamity Ganon.

Summary
Wednesday’s heart thrummed in her ears, and she scrambled away. What was that? she wondered, her mouth slightly opened in a gasp. “Peachy. What did you want to give me?” Changing the subject was a must.
“Oh! Uhm, just this.” Enid sat up, sticking a hand in her pocket. She pulled out a slightly squished white gardenia. “I, uhm, got you a flower.”
Oh.
Wednesday didn’t know why her heart beat like this. She didn’t know why the idea that Enid wanted to give her a flower and nearly risked both of their lives to do so felt so… dangerous. As if she was being hunted, her pulse quickened, her palms grew sweaty, and her mouth went dry.Wednesday understands perfectly well that Enid often acts strangely, performing tasks for her without being asked. She knows that Enid is just friendly and wants to be involved in her life.
What she doesn’t understand is why every time she’s near Enid, her heart races, her palms sweat, and her words catch in her throat.

Summary
“Maybe you could join us this time? Oh please?”
Wednesday found herself hesitating. She didn’t want to see the disappointment on Enid’s face when she rejected the offer. And what was this tightness in her chest? That old saying she had heard before - that distance made the heart grow fonder - could it possibly be true? She wasn’t fond of this newfound difficulty saying no to Enid that had grown inside her since the break from Nevermore.
Time was passing quickly though, and Wednesday had to answer. She opted for a simple and yet effective response. “I’ll consider it,” she said coolly. Thing twitched quizzically, but she silenced him with a quick glance. Luckily, Enid didn’t notice, too busy hugging Wednesday for a second time, the third time she had hugged Wednesday overall.
OR:
Wednesday has another mystery to solve: why she feels like this, and why Enid is acting so strangely.
Set after the Season 1 Finale

Summary
The goblin camp was defeated and the Tieflings were safe. But at the after-party, Tav hid away at the riverbank. She could not ignore the stinging of her back following the whipping she'd taken from the priest of Loviatar. She'd thought it would help to control her - satisfy her - by directing her murderous urges onto the one person who knew of them and who could consent: herself.
What she didn't expect was Shadowheart.

Summary
Jenevelle didn’t know what to expect when she took her sort-of-nephew Pluck to his soccer practice. She didn’t know the game, or the players, or the types of people she might encounter. All she knew was that his parents, Karlach and Wyll, were desperate for her help. She thought she was ready for anything but she never could have anticipated Pluck’s stern and mysterious coach, hugged in cute little shorts. Suddenly, soccer was a lot more interesting to Jen, and she began a game of her own.
Her only goal? Score with Lae’zel.
She certainly never expected that, in the process, they’d both find everything they’d ever wanted.

Summary
Shadowheart, Princess of the Kingdom of Shar, was cursed never to experience the world beyond the castle walls. It was forbidden by her mother, Queen Viconia, and enforced by her personal guard [dog], Ser Lae'zel K'liir. But that didn't stop her from trying: one day, Shadowheart knew, she would make it beyond. She would see the world.
Even if there were some curses—and some people—she could never escape.
This story is on a likely permanent hiatus.
