Summary
Laguna Bend—2056. A family moves into the city for better job opportunities before their suburb sinks. They're lucky, yet it still takes a greater hold of their son than they would have previously imagined.
Charter Hill—2064. A boy takes his first life with his father's sword, something that always sits on the mantelpiece. He tastes blood for the first time. It's salty, dense, and stains his tongue. He needs more.
Heywood—2068. A woman gives her son his first revolver. You are allowed to be nice but not kind, she told him as he held it. Your life always comes first. Aim between the eyes only at those who deserve it.
City Center—2072. A mercenary is dragged back into the clutches of corporate life against his will. Past lives are erased, future dreams forgotten. All he knows is who he is and how to kill.
The Badlands—2073. A young nomad, running from a clan bending to the will of corporations, leaves his family behind. He doesn’t have much beyond a moral compass in a place that doesn’t believe in them.An unlucky accident forces them all together, digging them deep in a hole without a shovel to get back out. There's hope in Night City though; either achieve your dreams, or die trying. No in between.

Summary
Harvard, maybe reluctantly, agreed to meet up with a particular blond in New Haven. Captain to captain, right? A little out of the way from Columbia to say the least, but it must've been important. Morbid curiosity, really, may have been the real reason Harvard agreed to this at all.

Summary
I could put my arms around every boy I see, but they'd only remind me of you.
It's been two weeks since 5:37PM in a grocery store on Second. The words still hang on Aiden's ears, on his chest, heavy and whole. He doesn't remember what his own bed feels like and maybe that's for the best.

Summary
Everyone expects Aiden Kane to be the one that's fashionably late to everything. Like, come on, you give him a time before noon to be up and ready, there's a pretty good chance he's not there unless his roommate dragged him there kicking and screaming. Granted, you could probably say the same for Nicholas Cox too, a chronic oversleeper who might be incredibly motivated, but he's still a nightowl. Then again, he also has a roommate liable to drag him to fencing in the morning.
So if they're both not just on time but early, what's Eugene's excuse?

Summary
When in California, you go to the beach, right? Sure, there's practice to be had, events tomorrow, but in the eyes of Aiden Kane, everyone could use a beach day. Come on. Everyone needs a break, and he's dragging the entire team along to make sure they're all well rested for the next day. And, so help him god, by the powers (and command) of Coach Williams, nobody's allowed to get sunburned on his watch.

Summary
Summer vacation is supposed to be a good thing, right? No school, that brief taste of freedom, great weather... But, weirdly, Lia wants nothing more than to be back at school, just for a chance to sort things out with her future roommate. Maybe not even sort it out, maybe just being in the same room as her would be enough.

Summary
Alright, campers! Welcome to your first day of summer camp! It's going to be an action-packed summer, so I hope you all adhered to your pack list and saw the itineraries. Let's get you guys to your bunks and settled in, lunch is at noon sharp, then we can get this party started. We're totally beating the girls this year by the way, but that means you all have to be on your best behavior. If you're bunking with me, at least, I'll take B graded behavior anyway, but Seiji's a stickler, so if you're with him, you better be at A-plus-plus.

Summary
Oh my god, did you see the show last night? There's this new band that's on tour apparently. They're, like, from Connecticut or something. Weird, right? But, oh my god, I swear, like, they were so freaking good! That singer guy, Aiden, I think I'm in love. And he's a little... you know. I just think that's soooo hot, do you think he and that guitarist are actually, like... you know...? I don't know, I think their bassist is pretty cute too. He's got great bass-face.

Summary
The world of Menarths has gone for a long period of time without any disturbances of the greater peace (for the most part, excluding the time there was a war between the country of Mistfold and South Pelinath, but that's besides the point), but when the princess of Mistguard disappears through a treacherous gate on the other side of the known world, the King holds a tournament to search for the best fighters in the land. Hopefully, in creating a solid party of adventurers, the princess can be safely found and brought back to the place she belongs.
His hires include the paladin Harvard Lee, infamous for solving a werewolf problem without silver, a sportfuck bard from a noble house, Aiden Kane, a monk from a part of Lowtown with a heart of gold (and, perhaps, a surprising understanding of the blade), Eugene Labao, the renowned monster hunter Seiji Katayama, traveled from the largest city in the world just to be hired, and an underdog fighter who cost a lot of people their bets, Nicholas Cox.
This was, to put it lightly, an utterly terrible idea.

Summary
Featuring art by the amazing @theturtlelives!!
Paris. City of love, city of lights. The not too distant (yet rather distant) future.
Sebastien le Livre has recently taken up work at the American University of Paris, teaching Art History to undergrads and spending every other waking moment of the past several months hopelessly working on what may be his biggest-scale forgery yet (he’s well aware his best work is either the one of the Klimts or Van Goghs): the Mona Lisa.
He’s finally finished it, which only leaves one thing left for him to do.
And he’s going to need some help to pull it off.
(Or, Booker finally steals the Mona Lisa.)

Summary
After nearly six months to the day, Nicky is out of the grasp of the CIA and once more with his family. Except, now they have Quynh, too, and that's definitely a dynamic nobody was ready for just yet. Though, right now, nobody is quite ready to jump right back into normalcy, which means a long period of downtime while everything gets better slowly but surely.

Summary
The Guard had a week in New York City to relax and unwind before their job, and Nicky had been on edge about it ever since he pulled the sniper out of the box he picked up in Manhattan. Trusting Nicky's gut feelings should be a higher priority, because when a key part of the job goes horribly wrong, the group left quickly realizes that they're going to have to start chasing ghosts if they want to get their friend back.
