    Summary

    Neil had a lot of secrets. He didn’t want much in life except to live quietly, run his botanical store, upload TikToks covering plant care, and for not a single person to find out that he’s the best-selling author N.A.J who published one book anonymously five years prior and disappeared. His life takes a turn when his literary agent tracks him down for a follow-up book with the theme of feeling settled and at peace. Two things Neil is not.

    Thus begins his journey of planting roots in a town he’s lived in for years, starting with making friends with people who have tried to bring him into their circle. As Neil gets closer to them and his secrets become less guarded, there’s still that one big secret he intends on taking to his grave. But the closer he gets to his friends the closer he unknowingly gets to that secret being revealed.

    Summary

    “Turn it off. I can’t watch this any longer,” Matt said.
    “We need to know what’s going on,” Andrew replied flatly.
    “Andrew, we know what’s going on – the fucking world is ending. I don’t want to see it anymore.” Matt grabbed the remote off the couch beside Neil and flicked the TV off. Andrew didn’t move to stop him.

     

    Near the end of Neil’s last year at Palmetto, an outbreak of a disease, nicknamed the Brazilian Fever, throws the world into anarchy when the diseased bodies that started piling up acquired a hunger for flesh. With so much on the line, Neil and the rest of the Foxes decide Palmetto isn’t safe anymore. While decked out in orange and Exy sticks, there’s zombies, violence, enemies dead and alive, and the underlying need for survival.

    Summary

    “If you tell me what I need to know, then I won't hurt you."

    “Okay, what do you wanna know?” Tommy pointlessly asks, because he doesn’t know anything. He doesn’t even know the answers to his biology homework (which he won’t be finishing in time now, sorry Dad ).

    The Angel shakes his head. “T- The kid doesn’t know anything,” he says, and it almost sounds like a plea. “I swear.”

    “Tommy,” the man prompts again, “Tell me the identities of The Syndicate, then you're free to go."

    Tommy freezes.

    “I’m sorry?” He sputters.

    “He doesn’t know!” Siren shouts.

    “Do you seriously expect me to believe that?!"

    ━━━━━

    or, Tommy gets kidnapped by people who want to know the identities of The Syndicate. Only problem is, he has no idea, and is starting to worry that Wilbur, Techno, and Phil will be wondering where he is by now.

    Summary

    “Have you seen a cat?”

    What?

    “A cat,” Techno repeats, just as shaky as the first time. “He’s blonde, a tabby? Blue eyes? He’s really little, and I— I lost him.”

    Tommy blinks, stunned, as Techno lifts a hand and wipes the tears from his eyes. You’re still fucking shaking. Get out of the cold, you idiot.

    I’m not worth this.
    ///
    Or, shelter volunteer Techno rescues (kidnaps) a certain catshifter.
