Summary
“Miss Fia,” an insistent voice rouses Fia in her sleep, “wake up.”
Fia doesn’t feel like waking up yet, so she’s content to ignore the voice, but then she’s being repeatedly – and quite rudely – poked into her cheek and forehead with a rather pointy edge. She sits up in her bedding, batting Bukvar away with her hand as she levels him with her best approximation of a stormy glare. “What’s going on?” she hisses, still groggy. “I’m a growing girl child, Bukvar, I need my sleep.”
As he nervously flaps his pages and covers in front of her, Bukvar has the decency to at least look apologetic. “Sorry, Miss Fia, but it’s Batilda.” The mention of her witch serves to wake Fia up way more effectively than anything else has so far. “She’s acting… strange.”

Summary
“You can’t just try to take something that disappeared back. Even if it once meant something to you, it doesn’t now, so –”
“Oh, the necklaces? No, I’ve never worn one, you see,” she says easily, “but it’s true I was looking for a particular one in there. Bukvar pointed it out to me and got it.”
“Why were you trying to take it? Is it magical?” Zirk asks in a hushed voice, looking only mildly perturbed discussing something that shouldn’t even be thought of, truth be told.
“It certainly is something,” Fia states, “and since I would take one for safekeeping anyway, I thought to myself, ‘Why not that one?’, right?”
It gives Henry, who has been quietly panicking and fuming, a pause. “Safekeeping?” he repeats. “Are you…?”
He doesn’t dare to finish that question, but Fia seems to understand. She shakes her head, momentarily looking forlorn. “No, but someone important to me did remember the things that the rest of us forget,” she says quietly. “And I – I try to salvage what I can, I suppose.”
...
In a world where people are compelled to forget objects and concepts, Henry, Fia and Zirk are trying their best. Loosely based on Yōko Ogawa's "The Memory Police".

Summary
Hey Bev,
Would you look at that? I’m writing you a letter. Bet you didn’t see that one coming.
Are you and Erlin having fun in the Feywild? Taking an anniversary trip was a smart idea, he seemed like he could use a break and a change of scenery. You better don’t forget to give our greetings to Cran and Derlin when you visit them. I know you’re coming back next month, but I thought I’d catch you up on what’s been going on – trust me, it’s a lot.
...
Three (of many) letters across the two hundred years.

Summary
“You could have let Louis suck me dry, and worry about the drugs in his bloodstream later.” Maybe Louis would feel a little guilty after he sobered up, maybe not – ultimately, it wouldn’t really matter: Daniel would have been another dead boy brought over to the apartment on Divisadero Street. “You could have dragged him out of the sun, just killed me, and tried to salvage that mess of a situation.” Daniel, disposed of; the tapes, gone; playing the part of a remorseful and caring husband, engaged. “But no, you had to put on a fucked up horror show that went on for days, punishing him through me.” If Daniel hadn't lived, he wouldn't be here in Dubai; and if he were just any award-winning investigative journalist, he still wouldn't have been asked to come here for a re-do interview. “You made me important,” he spells out, a punchline that Armand seemed to be missing, in all this.
“And haven’t I been reaping the fruits of it every night and day for the past forty-nine years,” Armand muses, his sharp fingernail scraping the skin dangerously close to Daniel's hammering pulse point.
...

Summary
Riz knows that, technically, he doesn’t need to be coming to school; they aced the Last Stand for a reason, after all. Still, there are things to do when he comes by in those final weeks — some of the clubs he signed up for are actually interesting, now that he doesn’t just stumble from one meeting to the other, half conscious, only for the sake of extra credit. And, of course, there’s budding student government stuff. (He did mean it when he told Kristen he wants to be involved.)
That’s when one afternoon, when he’s coming back from the library, he sees several packed boxes in front of the guidance counselor's office, and stops, confused.
There’s a fleeting urge to not get involved, lest he risks another attempt at a pep talk from Jawbone, but investigative instincts win over. He knocks on the open door.
“Hey, Jawbone?” he calls out.
...
Three conversations Riz has about Kipperlilly Copperkettle, post-Ragenarok.

Summary
Yuugo runs a shelter for homeless youth, a rather reluctant responsibility he was tasked with years ago. When one evening, a group of children - runaways from the respected Grace Field orphanage - turns up at his doorstep claiming their house is a cover for a human trafficking business, he doesn't really believe them. However, instead of calling them in, he decides to reach out to his old friend, Lucas, who runs Goldy Pond Foster Home. And as they quickly learn, the kids' story isn't so far-fetched, and this horrifying scheme involving both the state and the law dates back to their own past, too.

Summary
Interestingly enough it all starts with a letter.
Kuroo Tetsurou, he writes, I received your letter and it was a nice surprise.
Well technically it started long before then but it was the letter with it's watermelon stationery and much needed words that brought the whole thing into the light of day.
