The war had been fought and won, and Kourubi made it out with almost everyone she cared about. Shinonome-sama’s loss was heart rending, and the loss of his support was palpable. His twins would carry on his legacy amongst the birds, and Kourubi would fight to prove to everyone that his faith in her was not misplaced.
At least Sasuke and Naruto ...

The meeting came sooner than Alfre expected. Eyes were on her as she marched into the same room the first meeting had been held in, though the table in the center was a little smaller than it used to be. She marched in confidently, shoulders thrown back and direwolf coat billowing out behind her. Beira trotted along at her side, Elias and Spica just behind her. The three seats meant for Ren and her seconds were empty between Doremi and Lance. Standing at the opposite end of the seats was Ren,...

There was a letter waiting for Alfre the next morning when she awoke. She stared at the elegant font on the envelope, hardly recognizing Ren’s name in such a fancy script. It certainly wasn’t Ren’s handwriting. She’d seen Ren’s signature before, and it didn’t look like this. She must have gotten a scribe, lazy ass. She tore open the envelope, unfolding the letter tucked inside. Her eyes slid over the words before her, written in a much easier to read print – Ren’s actual handw...

They got stares as they wandered through the City of Spade after returning their elk to the livery stable where they’d been rented. Well, to be fair, Alfre was the one receiving the stares. Alfre had to admit, of all the things she’d seen since the Incident, a tiny woman walking around in a black cloak that spilled shadows out the bottom and a giant wolf by their side had not been one of them. The halberd strapped to her back probably didn’t help. Spica was very good at ignoring the sta...

“This is a miracle,” Lamia murmured, leaning heavily against Star. She almost sounded like she didn’t believe it.
“It is indeed a miracle!” Love said excitedly, pulling the attention back to her. “Oh, this is a sign that I am on the right track! Ah! I must continue my quest. There are many more siblings in need of companionship, and many more mortals who are keen on being ma...

Spurred by the equally terrifying but all together different feeling fear that statement inspired within her, Hannah rushed the wall. She leaned over the edge, catching sight of Death hanging from the ledge just below. Relief filled her for just a moment before panic once again set in.
“Su-jin!” she shouted, the name rolling off her tongue as naturally as water from a fall. She le...

“Where’s security?” Lamia asked, her voice wavering slightly. Star shushed her, wrapping a comforting arm around Lamia’s shoulders.
“Do not worry, my love. If they do not arrive, then we shall take care of the rabble.”
“Don’t hurt anyone,” Nessa warned as the car slowed to a stop. “That’ll only make them martyrs.”
Security swarmed out of the buildin...

Hannah looked up from the blank sketchbook page she’d been staring at for the past hour or so. She’d been something of a creative slump since she’d returned from the funeral. Commissions were easy enough; everything was laid out in front of he...

“I’m sorry.”
She turned her gaze on her father, disbelief evident on her face if her father’s uncomfortable expression was anything to go on.

The universe didn’t answer.

There was a knock at the door, and all ten sets of eyes in the room snapped towards the sound. The door opened, and a nicely dressed man in big Clark Kent glasses poked his head in. This had to be the host; Hannah had seen his face on posters on the way in. He reminded her of some of her professors with his big smile and barely-greying hair.
“Hope you don’t mind me popping in...

The woman in lavender quickly set her sights on Hannah. “Hannah, right?”
Hannah swallowed around the bile that crept up her throat. “That’s right.”
“What was your experience finding out about the matchmaking? Was it similar?”
Hannah’s hands shook with her effort not to clench them into fists. That would look aggressive, and that was the last thin...

As predicted, Lindiwe and Spring showed up that night, pouting at the fact Hannah and Clara had already claimed the master bedrooms. Lamia and Star showed up the next day, followed by Nessa and Thunder a few hours later. While Lamia appeared incredibly jetlagged, Nessa bounced around like a spring fawn, utterly unaffected by the time change.

Love turned on the heels of her clearly expensive designer stilettos, and strolled right out the door, disappearing into the aether. Hannah would never fully understand how the deities could just…do that, but she kind of wished they’d teach her. It’d be convenient if she wanted to just disappear when the interviews started.
Death sighed tiredly, pushing back the midnight black h...

Death nodded, wandering off towards the kitchen and the menus that cluttered the counter. Hannah rubbed at her arms, wishing she had her cardigan on her. Death had been smart enough to not put her to bed with it on, but she felt unnaturally exposed in her simple white tank top. She grabbed the blanket that lay over the back of the loveseat, hiding the neutrally colored tie-dye of her leggin...

And so, Hannah nervously pulled out her phone and scrolled through her contacts. She hesitated, her thumb hovering over her mother’s contact information before she finally tapped it. She chewed her lip nervously as the line rang, pacing the upstairs hallway.
Finally, someone answered. “Hello?”
“Mom?” Hannah asked cautiously. “It’s Hannah.”
“Hannah! Thank ...

Hannah watched closely as Death finagled the faucet into giving her proper bath water. Satisfied that she knew what to do, she turned to grab herself a few towels from the linin closet within the en suite, turning to see Death doing something very strange.
As Hannah watched, Death dipped his fingers into the water, inky midnight purple smoke flowing out from his sleeves and down into the w...

With just a little bit of light left from the setting sun, Hannah stepped through the back door and into the backyard. Fireflies danced across the open, grassy field, lighting up wildflowers as they floated by. There was a smattering of trees surrounding the yard, some of which appeared to be blooming. Fruit trees, maybe? Hannah couldn’t tell in the low light.
She smiled at the porc...

Death’s domain situated itself on a large hill in a heavily forested area just outside of Duxbury, Massachusetts. It seemed like an odd place to live, until Hannah noticed that she had an excellent view of a very old looking cemetery from about halfway up the hill.
Odd, she thought. Hadn’t they passed that cemetery a few miles back on their drive in? She shouldn’t be able to see it f...

Eventually, after the sun had gone down over the horizon, Hannah found her thoughts drifting back towards the bed. Maybe it was about time for her to get some decent sleep on a plane.
She stood, stretching a bit. Death leveled her with a curious look, his question obvious despite being unspoken.
“I’m gonna go to bed,” she said. “See if I can’t sleep well on a pla...

Upon arriving at the lounge, Hannah had to admit that Charlotte had not been wrong about ‘relaxing in style.’ It wasn’t as fancy as, say, Love’s estate, but it was nicer than anything Hannah had experienced at an airport before. There were even showers. Who showered at an airport?
Despite having eaten not all that long ago, Hannah took the opportunity to eat more fancy pastries and...

“I want out.”
Silence fell on the party, all eyes suddenly very firmly on Hannah. She snatched her hand back from Love, pressing her clenched fist into her chest so hard it almost hurt. She set her eyes very firmly on the hardwood flooring between her shoes and Death’s.
“Hannah,” Love said with a quiet voice. “I’m not sure what you mean.”
“I’m not here...
