Summary
"’Course it’s not. Coop's a thirty-eight. Unless she got herself that Red Ring shite in her feet too."
It's… for Coupé? Not… Flambae's niece? He feels - he's not sure of how he feels, actually.
(Well, ‘happy’ isn’t one of them, that’s for sure.)
Herman and Colm go shoe-shopping. As it turns out, Herm has some feelings about Coupé rejoining the Z-team… and maybe about his own place in it.

Summary
Orpheus and Eurydice. Eurydice and Orpheus. On mistakes, anger, love and new beginnings, even after death.
"Goodbye to all the pl-" Ting! That would be Charon's boat all right. And there was Orpheus, stepping so nervously, like he still couldn't quite believe it was real.
Silly man! Or shade, now, she supposed.
"Good morning or night, my dear," he greeted as he clambered over the low wall. As far as doors went, it was halfway decent one.
"Good whatever time it is to you too, Orphy." She smiled as she set down her ladle, and went to hug him.
Oh, she'd missed this. The way his arms wrapped around her, squeezing tight. The tiny ooph he let out as he adjusted his grip. All those little things just added up, would you look at that.

Summary
Apollo hadn't been meaning to get into music, really, but a dare from Clay and the requirements of college applications tag team him on that one. Trouble is, he still doesn't want anything to do with Khura'in… but that's the kind of sound he's used to. Cue the tabla. And the clapbox, once he starts playing in college.
Cut to a few years later, and Apollo is suddenly exposed to a very different style of music when he bumps into Klavier Gavin at a crime scene. Now it's not only Prosecutor Gavin's foppishness… but also the rock music he plays that get on Apollo's nerves.
Will the pair be able to discover each other's hidden depths in the midst of personal turmoil?
Canon-adjacent AU that follows Apollo and Klavier from AA4 through to AA6. Getting together story, where both are musicians of vastly different genres.

Summary
Roxanne and Baptiste head out to buy some armor from Rafta's very own cat pirates. Shenanigans ensue!
“Cut out the kibosh!” She brandished her talons. “If you’re from the city guard, you have to tell us, them’s the rules!”
“Really, Roxanne, you of all people should know better.” Pepper shook his head. “If this colorful human turns out to be from any form of lawful authority, you know that at our next party you’ll walk the plank in a toucan outfit while we throw eels at you.”
“Plus, can you imagine doing all those customs taxes? Ka’Tuna’s fins, it comes out of everyone’s monthly catnip money!”
“Catnip is just as important as naps,” Pepper added solemnly, drawing himself up to his full height with a glint in his eye.

Corsac smiled.

Summary
After attending one of Sylvia's contests, Saffron finds herself dogged by her past.
Grief snuck over her, the kind of grief that washes over like the flow of the tide, that crystallizes into quiet, breathless yearning. Grief that makes the eyes water, yet does not let a single drop spill through. Grief that aches like an old wound.

Summary
Baptiste attempts to convince his family to cede control of the Heroes' Guild to the heroes, but each member has a different concern to be assuaged.
If all went to plan, he ruminated, walking down the quiet hallway, then he would not find himself in this room for a very long time. But not forever! He would have to toil; yes, certainly, but there would dawn a day when he would stand again before his father and his brothers, meeting them not as superiors, but as equals.
“Now, what is this I have been hearing, Baptiste? You plan to sign away your inheritance in exchange for the Raftarian Hero’s Guild?”
“In exchange for Duke Ambervale ceding control of the Heroes’ Guild, Mama. It is to revert to those to whom it should rightfully belong – the heroes themselves.”

Summary
Roxanne knows what Owl is hiding. But getting him to admit it is a herculean task... not to mention what happens after he does so.
Roxanne had been at this for longer than he’d been alive – no, longer than he’d been an owl, if her suspicions proved true. And they usually did, because she knew her enchantments.
The pieces were all there. All she – or anybody, really – had to do was complete the picture.

A meeting between Rafta's marketing guru and its most mysterious merchant leads to an unlikely alliance, in spite of their differences.
“So… How about a quick selfie?”
Quinn cracked an eye open, and immediately cringed. Ugh, that megawatt smile. Someone hook her up to a power plant already.
Still, for the greater good and all that jazz. They stared at the phone as the flash went off.
Yay, they did a thing.

Summary
Just another of Xid and Sylvia's weekly cookouts, with a dash of friends supporting each other. Sometimes explicitly, and other times not.
They worked in companionable silence for a while, and Xid began to hum, trying to find a good tune. Nothing too melancholic, nothing too peppy, either – this would be a hero’s ballad like no other! The song she’d always wanted to write.
But Xid had been a musician for as long as she’d been alive, so she could make out when she was missing something in the accompaniment department. Namely, the rustling feathers and the soft snoring hoots of a snoozing owl.
