    Summary

    Hermit’s Hollow was a quiet town where you learned to ignore whisperings of nonsense and the dull, persistent feeling of being watched before you learned to ride a bike. To call it pedestrian would be a great disservice to all the terrible oddities occupying it— folks and legends alike.

    Not that Grian believed any of them, of course.

    Or; There's something wrong in Hermit's Hollow. There's something wrong with Grian. Neither of these are a surprise to him.

    Summary

    “Scar’s approaching from the left, by the way,” Mumbo said, and Grian’s stomach flipped, crushed-glass nerves cutting into his insides. He’d been used to struggling to avoid Hawkeye, who popped up whenever Grian least wanted to see him and had always been stupidly hard to shake off, worse once they got to know each other’s patterns, but when it came to Scar– well, but of course Scar would be the same way–

    “You can see him under the exit sign,” Mumbo elaborated, stiffening with concern as Grian stood up, “and oh, hang on, you are not actually leaving me. I thought you said whatever it is wasn’t a big deal!”

    “It’s not,” Grian lied. He stood up and gathered his papers in their complementary folder, smooth and calm and definitely not fighting a lump in his throat.

    Summary

    "Hello, everyone," The man walked to the front of the classroom and placed the same papers he'd been scribbling furiously on to the top wood polish of the front desk, "As you may have guessed, I'm not Professor Waiman. He had something to attend to today."

    Wait- The university Gen attended was a small prestigious school in Texas. There were only so many Asian students, and he was sure he met all of them.

    And then the floor was ripped out from under him.

    ---

    In which Gen just wants to graduate college, and a certain red-eyed lab assistant is making it ten billion times harder.

    “That’s the Witch’s cat,” Tim says, and grins at Martin. “Jonathan Sims, the town’s Witch, said that he’ll marry anyone that manages to get the key from the cat’s collar.”
