by L. Rae illustrated by cloven (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/343353.html) “Hey, Nico. On your left. That’s the one.” Jeremy shoulders the other boy, nodding his head towards the small room off the church foyer. Against the remaining shreds of floral wallpaper, a figure turns towards their voices before flickering out of existence. A bare lightbulb sparks to […]

Tent Shenanigans
by Yuriko Toru (百合子 亨) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/344183.html) “I fucking hate camping,” Finn announced, for probably the thirtieth time. Stretched out on a sleeping bag with his legs crossed at the ankle, Alex sighed, similarly repetitive. “Not my fault it’s snowing,” he pointed out, because clearly the message hadn’t sunk in the first twenty-nine times. “Why […]

The Vector
by T.F. Grognon (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/342492.html) Perched on his back steps like enormous carrion birds, heads tipped together in consultation, the Jays are waiting for Rashard when he gets home. He stayed late at work again, then took his time at the grocery store, so it has been dark for a while now. When his headlights […]

Teind
(mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/344622.html) They lied to me, said Lenny, though since it was a dream he didn’t use words to do it. I knew they were lying but I didn’t know how much. Mack wanted to rub his eyes, or lift a hand, or at least somehow react to seeing Lenny again, but he couldn’t do […]

The Other Monster
by Juou no zan (女王のザン) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/345008.html) There was a monster on the ground at Sam Steel’s feet. It was naked and flushed, and looked exactly like a human except for the horns and tail curling out from its skull and spine respectively. And, arguably, the look on its face. Someone was speaking to Derek. […]

Raincoats and Rolling Pins
(mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/345131.html) “Why do I have to be the one to take the soup over to Grandma?” Conor eyed the wicker picnic basket on the table, a deep frown pulling at the corners of his lips. “I only came here to visit, and I really need to get back into town before work tomorrow. Doesn’t […]

The Defect
by shukyou (主教) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/337866.html) I stared down as the milk swirled little clouds into my tea. “I don’t do that for your people anymore,” I told him. David frowned at me from across the table; I didn’t have to look up to see the disappointment and frustration on his face. Boy, was he in […]

Action at a Distance
by Houndstooth illustrated by Distressed Egg (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/338021.html) Ári sits in a small, windowless room, staring at a picture of a fallen log in a forest meadow hanging on the wall in front of them. The lights in the room are dim. There’s a low table with a glass of water on their right. The […]

Love Will Tie the Slipnot
by T.F. Grognon (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/338577.html) They’re headed for the edge. Arranged in a ring, slowly turning, the four of them shuffle and feint, yell and protest. A searchlight bisects the ring, back and forth, an anxious pendulum. They’re all shouting. His name, others’ names, recriminations and accusations all spiral out over the harbor. “Everyone, just […]

Three to the Sea and One Returned
by Wasureta Yume (和巣礼田ゆめ) illustrated by Iseya Misu (伊勢谷 美寿) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/338826.html) When you need to travel small and quiet and on the cheap, that’s when you hire an elf. Elven guides don’t ask much money, but they do demand respect. They won’t carry your luggage or serve your breakfast. What they will do, if […]
