NPC POV
Being the hero of the story is great and all, but what about everyone else? When the dust settles, what happens to the civilians and bystanders, the side characters and OCs? The world does not stop turning when a hero goes on a quest. What do the common people see in them?
A collection of my favorite stories detailing the lives of the mundane- all the people who don’t get stories of their own, and scenes of things that could have happened.

Summary
It's those coffee eyes that you're drawn to. They dance like fingers on skin, a rhythm as constant as ocean waves that cascade down your spine even when you turn away.
The freckled stranger has been visiting your pub for three months now, drinking to forget the worst times.
You might be the person he needs to remember the best.

Summary
They say that Humans cling to life like mold clings to bread. They say that even when the visible contamination is cut away, the mycelium remains. They say that after the Essempi Federation is no more, nothing will be left but wreckage and Humans.
Excerpt:
Humans have fairy-blood, they say. They eat poisons for fun and know when you lie just by looking at you. When you shake their hands they can see how you die.Centuries ago Humans called especially adept liars silver-tongued and now, a billion light years from Earth, Ted hears a Shulker call him fey-mouthed. Fey-mouths can’t tell a lie, the Shulker says in hushed tones to her companions, but will twist you up in the truth until you can’t tell up from down and leave with a fulfilled bargain you would never agree to in a thousand years.
