Summary
“S'not your fault that—”
“—I hurt you,” Susie finished. She chewed on the concept, the edges of her voice frantic, her throat thick. “Because you deserved it.”
“Yes.” Kris pressed her hands against their chest. They smiled in a way that failed to be reassuring. Each desperate breath shuddering through their lungs confirmed everything Susie didn't want to know. “S’fine. It’s okay.”
Kris burned like a charred pan straight out of the oven, or an oil fire stoked by liquor. Susie reeled away. “You—you were trying to set me up,” Susie accused, trying to edge words around the chasm opening in her gut. “You were trying to get me to hit you.”
Kris wants Susie to hurt them. They need her to hurt them. Susie isn't as on board with the idea as they are.

Summary
“It wasn’t a big deal or anything, if you’re worried about that. We were just kind of friend-kissing.”
“Susie, I don’t know what friend-kissing is supposed to be,” Noelle said.
“It’s like. You know,” Susie stumbled, “like if you need to figure out how to kiss or whatever and you got somebody to help you out—and that guy helps you get better at it, it’s like—you know!”
“I-I do?”
“Yeah,” she stressed, “you and Kris used to do it all the time!”
Or, Kris decides flirting lessons aren’t all that bad of an idea. Consequences? What consequences?

Summary
Will tilted his head back and shifted his weight onto his hands. The gravel in between the railway sleepers pierced his palms lightly, the sensation pleasant. Like how he imagined acupuncture. A breeze traveled through the trees, swishing their branches and the hair out of his face. Sweat coagulating on his forehead cooled, dripping a slow trail to his jaw. He closed his eyes.
When he opened them, El was staring at him.
"Mike showed me your painting," said El.
…
El moves in a couple days after the battle at Starcourt. Will and El weren't born knowing how to be brother and sister, but they learn to be. Featuring: Arcades, sibling bonding, the joy of being gay, and Mike trying not to be a royal prick.

Summary
Danny just appeared, 7 inches of gnarled clumsy stitching carving a flight path from jaw to temple, redder and more inflamed after his face spent the night bartering with the first ugly steps of healing. And he expected… something.
An accusation, really. A leading interrogation. Because Phantom’s face-gouge had been plastered in HD across the town’s televisions, a turkey slice to match his own ghastly face wound. And his absences and his oddities and his ghost-hunting parents and name and appearance all all all had to finally add up to someone. Everyone.
---
Danny is tired of fighting the inevitable. His secret won't last forever. His lies only build a fiction more gnarled and more mangled the longer he keeps it up. He's had enough. He's ready to get this over with.
After a very public fight against Skulker, Danny shows up to school with the exact injury that has been broadcast to every television in Amity Park. If he makes no effort to hide anymore, someone will figure it out. Surely, someone will finally break open the secret that's been dominating Danny's life.
Nothing goes the way Danny expects.

Summary
This is a world in which Mob and Reigen’s paths have never crossed, in which 10-year-old Mob found psychic guidance in the form of the aging, retired tv personality Keiji Mogami, in which Reigen followed through on his plans to close the Spirits and Such Agency, in which a cruel twist of Mob’s powers forces him to confront how dangerous he really is.
10 year old Shigeo Kageyama has vanished, his trail instantly cold, and his case gathers dust in police archives as a kidnapping never solved. Four years pass before a chain of events causes his path to cross with that of the despondent, unfulfilled fake-psychic-turned-fake-investigator, Arataka Reigen. Reigen finds himself in over his head caring for an escaped victim of abuse who, for reasons unfathomable, has been taught to believe his very existence is a horrifically dangerous thing…

Summary
The puzzle pieces judder together with horrifying clarity. Standing in the center of the room, she can see the full picture. Everything missing from the phone, the fragments of herself in the dorm, the odd inflection in Kris’ voice.
This isn’t a dream. It isn’t the Dark World. But it is, impossibly, an alternate world entirely.
Kris sighs again, muttering something to themself. “Do you need me to come over? Are you alone?”
“Kris, I think I’m in the wrong world,” she manages.
(or: two noelles trade places.)
