Coming Home

by kiyala (樹夜蘭) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/323416.html) Matt doesn’t think he hates any place more than he hates the airport. The departure gate is its own monster, taunting him with its inevitability, with the loneliness that creeps into his daily life when Adrian is away. He doesn’t even look at the sign pointing in its direction as […]

Hymns of Orogenesis

(mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/324454.html) The weather was wet and sloppy, the sort of skyborne misery halfway between rain and snow that flaunted the worst aspects of each, and if Riaag had been able to have things his way he would’ve been spending his afternoon in a nice, dry tent with his toes thawing out in front of […]

A Holiday Affair

by Riba illustrated by Yin Twig (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/324824.html) A cold wind blew through the streets, sending swirls of snowflakes to dance around the lone figure trudging through the new coat of white.

Figs from Thistles

by Dr. Noh (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/325105.html) Owen spent the first night of the Christmas holidays chain smoking in a pub on the outskirts of Oxford.

Pull Against the Tide

written and illustrated by staringatsuns (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/325809.html) He should have been dead. Tracking down a ship with a wealthy nobleman aboard and luring the poor fool overboard – any merperson was capable of it and Theo was certainly no exception.

Heart of Ice

by Yin Twig illustrated by Riba (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/325958.html) Louisa, Queen of the Northlands, sat by the open window of the tallest tower of Castle North and gazed moodily at the snowy city. The wind rustled in her hair, pushing the thickly falling snow into the small enclosure. She was often there these days, as far […]

Binselong

by Wasureta Yume (和巣礼田ゆめ) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/326757.html) If you were a traveler, stopping at our outpost for a quick fuel-up or a customs check or any excuse to no longer be on a tin can hurtling through the cold vacuum of space, and you happened to look down a certain alleyway to the Monstrous Ink Body […]

The Very Gay Football Affair

by Renaissance Makoto J. (ルネサンス・真・J) (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/326545.html) Snazzy spy music plays as a villain emerges from the shadows! Before him, his target is cloaked in darkness. The villain fires once, twice, three times. All three bullets are stopped by bulletproof glass that splinters, but does not shatter. Suddenly, light floods the room and there he […]

Gardelunes

by Matsu Kasumi (mirrors http://s2b2.livejournal.com/327050.html) Paris, May 1629 Ueli held back a sigh and tightened his hold on his halberd as he went with Thomas to replace their comrades. It was their last guarding spot for the day; two hours there and they could report to Lieutenant Stämpfli and then attend to their own business. […]
