    Summary

    Baz Pitch loves, in no particular order; David Bowie, punk music, the feel of old vinyl, the smell of coffee (but not the taste), classic books, magic, David Byrne, the fact that he was raised by his aunt Fiona, and maybe, sometimes, Simon Snow.

    Summary

    On two winter days, exactly a year apart, Karl Jacobs begins to feel the effects of time travel wear on his most important relationships.

    I began writing this a year ago, the day after Kinoko Kingdom was established. A lot has changed since then. Consider this a speculative preface to The Maze, which comes out tomorrow, a year and two days after Kinoko Kingdom was established. How time flies.

    Summary

    Yet, here Ranboo is, loitering in the Whitehouse hallway after hours, his tail skittering nervously across the carpet as he psychs himself up to knock. It’s one in the morning, but bright yellow light spills out from under the door. 

    It’s now or never. He swallows hard. “Tubbo? Are you still awake?”

    There’s a crash and a rustling of papers. “Hang on…don’t come in here. I’m–I’m getting dressed.”

    “Okay? Are you okay?”

    “Yes–nothing’s going on–just give me a minute–”

    He waits, eyes enormous, until the door swings open, framing the shorter boy. He’s holding a folder against his chest, covering it securely with both hands. His blazer is off, but his white shirt underneath is still buttoned to the collar.

    ***

    Ranboo moves into Manburg shortly after the first election.

    Summary

    When Peter's Teacher announces that his Graduating Class's Senior Trip is going to be to Stark Industries, the place where Peter has an internship, and where he spends so much of his free time, he is... less than enthused. No one believes his Internship is real and frankly, he just doesn't want to deal with it, but between May and Mr. Stark, he doesn't really think he's going to get much of a choice.
    He's going to have to go
    At least Ned is excited about it.
    And hey, he has a month till the actual day, maybe he'll fall into a pit or get carried away by a stork-themed villain or fall into a Coma or something before the dreaded Field Trip

    Summary

    Sometimes, the most horrifying thing of all is what might have been.

    Somewhere, Jon could swear he heard a crowd laughing.

    Or: in which Jonathan Sims is forced to swap places with his alternate self – a tall, chivalrous hero extraordinaire, who knows neither fear nor nuance – and is sent to the aggressively straight alternate universe the Magnus Archives was never meant to be.

    “Whatever place this is,” Jon announced, “I just want to be sure it knows I hate it.”

    Summary

    The air smelled spicy, thick and incensed, with an underlying musk like that of livestock in cramped quarters. Phil caught a whiff of Nether smoke, hot stone and sulfur. Lava nearby. That was just what he needed, wasn't it. He twisted his head off the ground as the fuzz left his sight and saw a temple constructed of basalt and netherrack, with red nylium snaking up the walls in warped formations.

    There was a solid gold altar at one end of the room.

    Fucking figured those villagers were cultists.

    Summary

    The player in the doorway gaped at her, bruised and grimy and clearly young. “Who the actual fuck are you?”

    Puffy folded into the bow that signaled friendly intent to pretty much every player she’d ever met, almost careening over from the change in position, and said as brightly as she could, “Captain Puffy! Sorry to intrude on you like this, I got shipwrecked, I think- I don’t know where I am. This is not a good day for me.”

    “You’re in Logstedshire,” the boy said blankly, like she was supposed to know what that meant, and Puffy’s body took that moment to collapse from under her.

    She counted herself lucky she didn’t brain herself on the door when she fainted.

    Summary

    “This is a disgrace,” the head priest snapped. “Skeptical, the time to appeal your sentence is past. Comport yourself with dignity at least in death, since you could not do so in life.”

    “Full name? Talk about rude,” Skeppy said, striding toward the opening. “Jeez. Don’t you know better than to make assumptions?”

    The guards backed away, clearly not expecting someone to walk towards the hole. Skeppy made a show of stretching his back, leaned over the edge to peer at the ultraviolet blackness. Vertigo made his stomach swoop; unbalancing would tumble him in, but showmanship was part of the game. Keep it chill, keep it thoughtless. Desperation invited suspicion. 

    The other captives stared at him. Skeppy recognized all of them one way or another, though most were from other villages. Two of them were twins. The girl with the ring tanned leather. The girl with the split lip had roses growing from her hair, dark green tendrils wrapped around her arms and budding red. Skeppy thought her name was Hannah.

    Jerks. They’d better be glad Skeppy was good at what he did.

    Summary

    Tommy lurches for his inventory, drops a wooden pickaxe in a spray of sludge, and smacks his freed hand against tree bark. "Fuck, shit, you gelatinous bitch, get off of me, unhand me with your goop--"

    He's never heard of slimes eating people. What the hell, was he just that tempting a target, weak enough that a cube that'd turned into legs decided he was a good meal? Is he that much of a pussy now?

    Well, tough shit for the slime. Tommy won't go down that easy.

    Summary

    Phil breathes, and Techno can practically see the paternal animal reawaken in his chest when he inhales. “What in the ever-loving fuck were you thinking?”

    He could be honest. He could say efficiency or tact or you, you, you - and he’s not sure if Phil would ever forgive him for it. 

    “They’re still kids,” Phil continues. “You - you’re all still kids, really. But they’re both just boys.”

    “It’s not like I didn’t warn them,” Techno says. 

    Phil winces. “I know. I just - Christ, mate.”

    -

    Wilbur blows L'manburg to shreds in one simple push. Techno gets rid of the rest. Phil finds him after to see if there's anything left worth salvaging.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to be good, Tommy,” he says. “Being good– it’s– it’s all subjective. No one’s gonna have the same definition of good.” 

    “Do you think Dream is good, then?” Tommy asks, and Phil has to fight the urge to reel backwards.

    “What?” He asks. “No. Not at all.” 

    (or, Tommy is not Phil's son. They talk anyways.)

    Summary

    When he finally stumbles home, the first thing he does is drop the bag of Ranboo’s stuff by the door. It lands with a clatter. Usually Tubbo would wince, afraid of scaring Michael. But Michael isn’t here and Tubbo will have to remake his bed later tonight- he would be devastated to see all his toys tossed to the floor like that.

    After that, Tubbo takes six steps into the living room. Puts Ranboo’s ring on the table beside the sofa. Takes a seventh step. Eighth. Ninth. Then, he sinks to his knees. He doesn’t cry, doesn’t scream, doesn’t tear anything apart. He just… he sits there, shivering, and clutching Ranboo’s book in a white-knuckled grip.

    OR: Tubbo versus denial, single parenting, and grief.

    Summary

    Tommy hums absent-mindedly underneath his breath as he continues on his walk, and just as he sees the school come into view, himself being right on time, his phone begins to buzz in his pocket. 

    He doesn’t think much of it. It’s a calm morning, the city is quiet, and he’s not thinking straight, with it still being early. He expects it to be some telemarketer, if anything. He doesn’t expect anything of the worst. 

     

    (He wishes he never picked up that fucking phone call.)

    Phil is standing at the bus stop.

    Which, to an outside point of view might be funny, considering the giant black wings curled into themselves on his back, and the blood soaking through the bandages wrapped hastily around his torso.

    --------

    A story of grief and pain and healing and hope, in which the three younger SBI, adopt Phil. Also they have superpowers. And Tommy is a clone.
