    Summary

    "Sit," she orders lightly, and then turns to continue rifling through the clothes she picked out for him.

     

    As ordered, and as he's done for many of his previous owners, Cesare gets onto his knees. He sits with his legs folded underneath him on the carpeted floor, waiting patiently for Penny to turn back to him in the cramped space. She does, and when she sees him, her lips part slightly, blinking down at him softly as their eyes make contact.

     

    After betraying his puppet masters and being kicked to the curb by Upper Management, Cesare is left with nowhere to go, no prospects and worst of all, no purpose- a puppet with cut strings.

    Help comes from an unlikely source in the form of one of his former foodtruck rivals- Penny, single mother of one and part-time hamburger clown. She promises to help him reintegrate into modern human life, teaching him some much needed manners and making him feel useful again in the process- by training him in the duties of a housewife, of course!

    Cesare realizes he may have left one master just to be claimed by another, a discarded toy passed from owner to owner, but living with Penny makes him love being nothing but a pretty doll.

    Summary

    That left Rouxls tough out of luck. If he had no ideas, he doubted any average Darkner would know anything, and as insightful as Tenna and Spamton could be, he figured telling them would only make it worse. Tenna might do something as bold as putting Rouxls on bedrest or telling him to take a day off! Mortifying. Downright evil. Rouxls would never. Not unless it was on his own accord, of course, because he could take breaks whenever he wanted! He just… didn’t want to. The idea of being away from Tenna or Spamton for too long while they worked alone was making that nausea creep up again, so he doubted it’d do anything good for the plague that Rouxls was battling.

    Only one option, then! Keep on working.

     

    Or: Rouxls has two problems, and their names are Tenna and Spamton. He's handling it very well, if you must know.

    Summary

    Bill Cipher begs the Axolotl for a second chance on the verge of death. The Axolotl agrees, like the bleeding-heart idiot that it is. All Bill has to do is pass a little trial. How hard can that be for a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power?

    He wakes up in 1979. And he is not a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power.

    Summary

    Are we our intentions? Our thoughts? Our deeds?

    Or are we our memories?

Stanford takes the strange young man, whom they have dubbed ‘William’, in under the assumption he is another one of Cipher’s victims, tortured, discarded, and left a shell of his former self. However, this ‘former self’ may be more complicated than any of the Pines anticipated…

    Summary

    The summer of 1966 was one of the happiest summers Stanley and Stanford ever had. It was the year they found their beloved ship and promised each other that they would one day sail in search of adventure. Unfortunately, things hardly ever seemed to go right for very long, and they soon find themselves very far from home and each other.

    In January of 1982, Stan and Ford are over a thousand miles away each other when they each have a chance encounter with familiar faces.
