Summary
Palm pressed against the cool glass stretching over the large windows in the Parlor Car, she watched the sunset-rust nebula swirling over the endless inky backdrop in tendrils, its living, breathing, colorful clouds colliding in a never-ending cosmic dance. If she closed her eyes, she could imagine a star whale piercing through, scattering them in its wake. Like watercolor flowers blooming on water. Or startled birds.
A paper kite.
Stelle never saw herself as anything but a paper kite.
—Singularity
[n.] Regions of space where the density of matter, or the curvature of spacetime, becomes infinite. In such locales, the standard concepts of space and time cease to have any meaning.Bookmarked by Mithrox

Summary
Stelle hates her corporate job, and cannot quit in good conscience, not without throwing her former teachers' kindness in their faces after they so kindly helped her land a foot in one of the biggest two corporate empires in the continent. So, her next plan is to be so bad at her job that she will get fired—easy, right? Wrong.
Stelle has a weird boss that refuses to fire her, no matter what she does.

Summary
When Sunday was assigned to head the congregation on Pegana, a small island nation lost in the midst of the sea, he saw it as an inconvenience temporarily pulling him from his sister's side. What he didn't expect was to meet a rebellious princess with dreams of adventure, nor to start experiencing vexing feelings for her.

Will he succeed or find himself draw to the depths of the open ocean with her?

Summary
Wonweek was everything Sunday hated. He was genuine, expressive, inappropriate, a teller of jokes with a boistrous laugh. All his life Sunday had built his rigid, decorous personality around that seed of exuberance. But even lacking sunlight and air, that childish aspect endured. Wonweek had grown roots into Sunday's heart, and could not be neatly excised.

Summary
In hindsight, every caged bird must have felt it when thrust into the vast, unknown, and incomprehensible cosmos. Freedom tasted sweet but carried an edge of terror—boundless and almost too much to bear. Old shackles and familiar, trusty prison bars had brought safety to his paper wings. They were too fragile—breakable—for the continuous flowing vortex he'd been braving.

Summary
Perhaps, he does care, cares so much he bleeds until there is none of him left. Perhaps, Sunday has been forged for it; to do nothing but care and feel and carry it, until he forgets where he ends and the world begins. Perhaps, there was an error in his assemblage, a sort of incorrigible flaw, and that is why the very thing he was created for - to carry the world on his shoulders towards a better future - is the one thing he failed so spectacularly at. It's a pervasive thought, that maybe to some degree he is incomplete. Though that matters not because the things he'd done were all on his own volition.
At the very least, the pain of being the sole woken being in the universe served a purpose. Now, Sunday just aches, and it's just as pointless as if he didn't.
Or, Sunday struggles with his place on Astral Express.

Summary
Jonathan’s life was fine. He didn’t need other people. He studied them instead, like fire ants on the abandoned edge of the playground; carefully, with a stick and good shoes, watching their patterns and keeping his observations to himself, figuring out which ones to leave alone and which ones would make good surprises in bullies’ backpacks. Other people were tools, in the multiple definitions of the word. He used them. He didn’t like them. He didn’t need them. He was fine.
All in all, it wasn’t difficult to stay a virgin until he turned thirty.
A JGY-centric, Cherry Magic-inspired AU.
