    Summary

    ”Wh-I—Shelly, what the shell??”

    The ammonite lips curved upwards at his reaction. He could feel its lifeless eyes digging holes in his body, “What? Isn’t it cute?”

    Cute? Seriously?

    “Shelly…you’re literally holding a dead fish that’s as long as your body…How is that cute?”

     

    Finn wants to explore an abandoned aquarium—but he’s too scared to go alone.

    Shelly says she’s just collecting samples for her project.

    Funny how this aquarium trip has a way of turning into…something more. Especially between a main and side character.

    Summary

    Monachopsis (n.) - The subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place.

    Shrimpo is a bully. That's all he's ever been. He doesn't fit in with the other Toons here.

    No one knows his favorite color; favorite food; or favorite people... but 'home' is in shambles and there's no proper leader.

    When humans break into the isolated world of Gardenview and put everyone in danger, a particularly audacious shrimp steps up to the plate.

    Summary

    Vee went missing 5 years ago, in favour of Version 2. Version 2 was an emotionless husk of a machine, destined to die with gardenview during the shutdown.

    4 years after Version 2 died, Brightney and Bassie hear a muffled cry through a staff only door deep into the museum.

    Brightney and Sprout go to investigate, but they get more than they bargained for.

    TLDR: Vee gets tortured by Delilah and then gets found by her friends that she barely remembers

    Oh and there's body horror! She's biomechanical now. She definitely wasn't before.

    Summary

    “O – Oh?” He chuckled lightly and then leaned back, just in case Vee decided to lunge over the table like the feral animal she was starting to appear as. “Did you need something else? I promise I’ll have more shop stocks next time, teehee –”

    “You’re staying right here until I get some answers, Dancifer.”

     

    Or: Dandy, in all his distant memories, realizes there's one Toon who won't let him avoid reality. He's not all too sure how much he hates that.

    I think that I love you, and I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever say it.

    Summary

    Astro has been plagued with visions of doom for the past week. Something is coming, and he'll be too late once he figures out what it is. As Gardenview withers with age, an elevator to the Twisted-infested floors collapses, allowing the Twisteds to crawl out. Some toons make it to Dyle's train in time, others are left behind, and others die protecting those they love.

    One of those toons, or more accurately, two: Finn and Shrimpo. Once they realise they've been left behind, the aquatic toons escape the hold of death through the Gardenview sewers and end up stranded in a forest. Cold and hungry, they start their journey to reunite with their fellow toons.

    The toons that escaped on the train are now left homeless. The warmth and food of Dyle's train are temporary; They can't stay there forever, so they are forced to run from humanity. But there are too many mouths to feed. Some toons starve, some grow ill, some are abandoned.

    Will Finn and Shrimpo find their friends, or die trying? How many refugee toons will survive before nature kills them one by one? Will humans find them, and will those humans help? Or will they take the toons away?

    Will the survivors ever be the same again?

    Summary

    Everything was going well for Vee.

    Second only to Dandy, a celebrity within her own peers, and debatably Gardenview's biggest success excluding the protagonist himself.

    Vee took great pride in it. She was well aware of her achievements. Some may say she even took too much pride in it.

    Until reality hit her with the news that would change her life forever.

    Summary

    “I said I care about you, okay? More than—”

    “Don’t.” Her voice trembled, sharp as broken glass. “Don’t say that just to make me stay. Why would a toon like me ever associate herself with a toon like you?”

    The words sliced through the air, cruel and brittle. Finn froze, the light inside his bowl dimming.

    Finn’s just trying to keep things afloat, but understanding Shelly turns out to be a much deeper dive than he ever fished for.

    “O-Okay, you can open them now!”

     

    He opens his eyes.

     

    With trembling hands, Shelly holds up the tray, revealing nothing more than…

     

    “I-I made Strawberry Cinnamon rolls!” She says, presenting the tray best she can. There's a bead of sweat rolling down her cheek, and her breathing accelerates ever so slightly. “As a way of saying thanks for saving me! What.. what do you think?”

    Or

    Shelly and Sprout get closer.

    Summary

    Tisha and Dandy—two completely different worlds—happened to cross paths on a cold autumn morning. Their relationship began with shy smiles and brief conversations, but with each passing day, their bond grew stronger. She was his light, brightening even the grayest day, and he was her quiet haven, a place to escape from the world. Gradually, their chance encounters turned into something far more meaningful.
