Rating: mature
Length: ~1000 words

Title: Knot Ropes to Make a Net
Fandom: Gakkou de atta Kowai Hanashi
Characters/Pairing: Sakagami Shuuichi, Iwashita Akemi, OMC/OFC(?)
Rating: teen
Length: ~2500 words
Content notes: discussion of suicide and murder, horror themes, unhealthy relationships and interactions, that foggy land between gen and shippy.
Author notes: This is AU, in that in doesn't take place after any particular one of Iwashita's paths. In fact, I don't think it's possible in any version of canon, since it follows the assumption that there was never a seventh story.
Summary: Shuuichi runs into Iwashita again the morning after the storytelling. She seems a lot more interested in his company than a third-year would ordinarily be.

( Is something wrong, Sakagami-kun? You look upset. )

Title: The Anatomy of Dependence
Fandom: Amatsuki

Fandom: The Borrowers series - Mary Norton
Characters/Pairing: Arrietty Clock/Dreadful Spiller/Peregrine Overmantel
Rating: teen
Length: ~5000 words
Content notes: bodyswap, established relationship
Author notes: I feel I should mention that this contains canon-typical attitudes and allusions that are not necessarily present in any of the more modern adaptions. This story is definitively bookverse.
Summary: When Arrietty wakes up to find that Spiller and Peagreen are in the wrong bodies, it draws old tensions to the forefront of their relationship.

( Arrietty awoke that morning to a loud crash as Peagreen jolted out of their bed with a strange, stiff-limbed jerk. )
