Summary
Mike’s gotta be cursed.
It was fine. For the first time in ages, Mike’s life seemed to be on an upward trajectory instead of plummeting downwards. College had, in some way, fixed things. Fixed Mike. He didn’t even feel the need to dissect what exactly had made his early teenage years so horrifying.
But like a curse, it’s all come back.
aka mike figures out his sexuality in the worst way possible, but as always, will is there to help. in more ways than one.

Summary
Mike's life is split in three categories; the life he should have, the life he wants to have, and the life he has to have. Currently, he's living in limbo between all three; he'll never have that white-picket fence and suburban wife, not when the only girl he could try to love has left him, and while he's finding it harder to live the life he has to have— the life where he hides himself so deep, not even the people he loves know who he is— he'll never get the life he wants, either.
Limbo sucks, to put it simply. He's so close to what he wants (which is Will, no matter how hard he tries to shove it down) but he just can't push past that barrier and talk to Will, not when everything he does always feels wrong.
But, maybe, Mike might come to learn that what he wants isn’t so bad, after all.
(Or; Mike's struggle with his internalized homophobia— among other things, including the concept of free will, Robin Buckley's mildly terrifying presence, and wanting things Mike's sure he doesn't deserve— structured around the five stages of grief. You can mourn a life you'll never live, and you can mourn someone you haven't actually lost.)

Summary
The world has changed all of a sudden, and no one fully knows why. The moon has been sitting half-full in the sky for three nights in a row now; people who once were seem no longer to be; and the shadows around every corner are coming to life. From across time and space, six souls journey through an eternal autumn wood in pursuit of one goal: To undo the apocalypse which brought them together. These are kids who have stared down evil before, but that sort of encounter leaves scars – and in such a strange place as this, old wounds are prone to reopen at the worst of times...
Alternate summary: "Beloved children's cartoon characters team up, suffer nobly, kick evil's ass."

Summary
Beatrice has got too many problems to deal with: chaotic younger siblings, strict parents, failing English class, working two jobs to get by. The only silver lining is if she can escape the hellhole that is her small town life. Emphasis on IF, though...
Wirt has got one major problem to deal with: his handful of a brother Greg. Oh, and then there's Sara, the love of his life. But all he can do is pine from far away, foolishly dreaming of a peaceful future with his true love...
One day, Beatrice wakes up in the body of a sixteen-year-old boy. At the same time, Wirt wakes up in the body of a seventeen-year-old girl.
Fate sure is a weird thing, huh?
