Summary
After a couple of John mandated "getting to know you" games, Ianthe declared Kiriona's childhood a blighted wasteland and made it her mission to give her the quintessential adolescent experiences she missed out on while growing up on the Ninth. The delivery mechanism for these artificial childhood memories would be a series of slumber parties.
This particular sleepover in Ianthe's "Speedrun Kiri's Lost Childhood" campaign (the third of its kind) consisted of Fuck Marry Kill and... Spin the Bottle? With two people?

Summary
“Harrowhark,” says Father Gaius, rolling the sounds around his mouth with the air of an unintentionally patronizing uncle. “That’s quite a…vivid name.”
“It reflects my late parents’ wish for me to free their community from the hell of Earthly temptation before the new millennium,” she explains in a deadened tone. If the pastor correctly hears free as a euphemism for lead in mass suicide, he gives no indication. “They believed my birth was prophesied.”
“Now, that would have been an interesting tidbit to list in your qualifications.” He grins, brandishing her resumé; when the joke falls utterly flat, his grin falters into something more pathetic. “The charismatics do tend to get carried away, don’t they.”
In the year 2000, Harrow gets a job at John Gaius's church, meets his handsome and pious daughter, and things go to Hell in a handbasket.

What If Nona Was Dogs by somarysueme

Summary
For personal reasons, the rock that had become ugly meat (that had– for just a brief moment– become a beautiful, beloved child) was now six dogs. This decision, while admittedly made under duress, had nonetheless paid out in dividends. As she lay in sun beams, as she rolled around with herself across the soft ground, she liked to count the reasons why this had turned out to be a terrific idea.
