    Summary

    “Should I open this room?” Gwen asked the specter.

    “Oh, dear,” said Lenore-or-Justine, “I remember the key.”

    “You wanted this key. You want me to open the room with it?”

    “No. No. That’s not a good thing to do. Not what a dutiful wife should do.”

    “But if I open it,”—Gwen tried again—“I’ll have answers.”

    Lenore-or-Justine stood up abruptly.

    She turned sharply. Before she disappeared through the door, her head fell off her neck, rolling away on the floor.

    It vanished as quickly as its owner did.

    Recommended by my flatmate who correctly thought I'd very much enjoy this, even with the strong risk of having Barrett's Privateers going through my head for the foreseeable.

    Summary

    Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!

    Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.

    Summary

    “So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”

    Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

    It’s a race against time for Lieutenants Kitsuragi and Vicquemare to solve the case of The Hanged Man. But between the escalating tensions of the Debardeurs Union and the Wild Pines, the rain brings memories of a future that never happened, and from beyond the Pale, remnants of a past overwritten.

    Summary

    Kim feels for the Satellite Officer. It’s clear what he’s been through, what Harry has subjected him to over the last few years - Kim only knows the half of it, of course, but he’s seen it before, hermit-cops pushing everyone away, their partner last man standing at the bombsite. Still, it feels cruel to punish this person for it, this wiped-clean, remade Harry, looking at Kim now like a bottle-fed animal about to be released into the wild. If Kim does go to the 41st, navigating all this will be an extra layer of complexity. He should think very carefully about it - about whether it’s worth getting mixed up in all of it. The mess.

    A slow-burn, Kim-POV story about going to the 41st, against his better judgement.

    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

    Spending his adolescence as a mercenary seeking revenge for the death of his family did not adequately prepare Bastiaan for a lot of things. Including teaching, which for some reason is now his job, as well as how to tell the difference between someone obsessing about him for violence reasons and someone obsessing about him for crush reasons.

    (When Lennart was 24 he had a crush on the new teacher and didn't know how to deal with it so he wrote him a letter that said "Get out of my school")

    Summary

    “Uh,” Moomintroll said, and then because he didn’t even know where to begin, decided to keep his question simple. “What is happening?”

    They both stared at him as though he was completely stupid.

    “Isn’t it obvious enough?” Snorkmaiden asked.

    “Oh, my Moomintroll,” Snufkin said, and Moomintroll had no idea how to deal with hearing Snufkin say that. “You can be slow sometimes.”

    Snorkmaiden flickered a few more colours. Snufkin didn’t let go of his paws. Moomintroll stared at them both, still utterly at a loss.

    Little My threw a handful of raspberry crumble at his head.

    “They’ve swapped bodies, you great useless marshmallow.”
    --
    Snorkmaiden and Snufkin swap bodies. It raises questions nobody is ready to answer.
