Summary
What’s Greg doing now, you wonder? Do his friends laugh with or at him? Is there a girl watching him, noticing how tall he is, or the unusual charm of his lopsided smile? Does he have his fucking watch yet? Knowing him, he’ll drop it fumbling with the clasp around his maidenly wrists. It will be broken before the night is over.

Once, Logan had overheard Bevan educating Eizabeth about the importance of the verbal and somatic components of a spell. Voice and motion, a pair entwined in dance.
(Logan reflects on the past few seasons and Bevan, uninvited, joins him)

Summary
Findex blinked at him slowly, slit pupils dilated in the low light. “Huh?”
The tiefling waved vaguely with his arm that held the blankets. “We can sleep together. In the same cot, I mean. That way, we’re both less cold.” He paused. “Unless you don’t want to do that, which is fine.” He said it like it was the simplest thing in the world, because it really was.

There is a myth shared by fans and players of Blaseball alike that claims a good pre-game ritual is needed to stave off the hot gaze of the umpire. True or not, the promise of release offered by incineration is not enough to staunch the fear of the great beyond.
(Snapshots of what the Yellowstone Magic members' pre-game rituals look like)

Es was a being of in-betweens and doorways, of the immaterial transplanted and transformed, so it did not take them very long to realize they were being haunted.

Summary
To the southwest of Revachol, far into the wild pale yonder is a radio repeater station. On this station is a corpse -- a woman killed in cold blood. There is no suspect. There are no clues. It is a thoroughly impossible death, a murder in utter isolation.
Two officers arrive on the scene. Voices bleed from the tower above. Something is horribly wrong.

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

Summary
The first thing Kim did after returning to his dorm was take a long shower. It took five full minutes for sensation to return to the tips of his ears even under the hottest water he could bear without wincing; the rain still hammering down outside is far colder than it has any right to be in Central California’s early April. By the time he’d made it back to the relative shelter of campus, which at least has broad awnings to walk beneath, he was shivering uncontrollably. Even the advertised water-resistant fabric of his gym bag had soaked through, and his clothes—both the ones on his body and the ones in the backpack—were drenched, gone heavy with rainwater.
