    Summary

    You have no immediate family. You don’t even have a dog.

    Yeah. That’s true. But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be anyone to miss him. Ryland, Yellow-Raincoat-Glasses, Mr. Grace, Apartment 4A. He’s a lot of names to a lot of people, and if you’re a name to someone then someone will miss you. He’ll be missed.

    Summary

    Grace has trouble sleeping, but thankfully Rocky is there, willing to help.

    Set between Chapter 2 and 3 of one of my other works, He Wears the Rose of Youth Upon Him.

    "Thanks for tucking me in. I feel as snug as a bug in a rug.”

    Huh? None of that made any sense. “Is being bug good or bad?!” I stomp twice in question.

    Grace laughs. “Sorry sorry. Right now, it’s good. It’s just a bit strange. Tucking someone in is a bit of a parental action for humans, and normally it’s only done for little kids. I don’t mind. If I’m honest, it’s pretty nice. It feels like you're taking care of me.”

    Good Good Good. It means less confusion when my actions mean the same thing for Eridians as it does for Humans. “Correct! Rocky always take care of Grace. Always always always.”

    Summary

    This was Omelas' truth. All their joy, their creativity, their continuing endurance — it was all contingent on one offering. Just the one, and, in return for his suffering, Life bloomed around their feet, in the imprints they left behind and those that were yet to be made. Children could play in the streets and their parents would not know fear.

     


    In any universe, Loid Forger is willing to throw himself away for the greater good. Yor Briar won't let him.

    Summary

    The report card was more a formality than anything, something that parents could proudly affix to the fridge or show off to their relatives. Given that Anya still ranked in the bottom third of her class, Twilight wouldn’t be showing it off to anyone.

    Curiously, the first thing he noticed when he opened the envelope was the handwritten note clipped to the actual report card.

    Mr. and Mrs. Forger—

    The nature of a report card causes many parents to focus on numbers and percentiles. But numbers alone paint an insufficient picture of all the richness of a child’s mind and potential. This is especially true for your daughter.

    -----

    As the Forgers celebrate Anya's first report card and Yuri rains on the parade, Twilight is forced to confront just how protective he's become of his cover family.

    Summary

    “So then, you’d like to go?”

    Yor’s heart warmed at the sight of his lighthearted grin.

    “I guess so. What about you, though?”

    His smile softened in a way that made her heart skip alarmingly. “I would love to go with you, Yor.”

    -----

    Yor and Loid attend Camilla and Dominic's wedding and experience a series of firsts in their cover-turned-fledgling relationship.
