    Summary

    Shadow Milk Cookie's gaze finally, theatrically, lands on Pure Vanilla Cookie. “Why don’t you tell them how we know each other?”
    "That is the Blueberry Milk Cookie referred to as one of the Vanilla Kingdom’s greatest historical mysteries. My ex-husband.”

    Or, Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla have been married for the last five thousand years, and divorced for at least two hundred of those. The ensuing journey through Beast Yeast gets real weird, real fast.

    Summary

    Summary

    Andrew Kreiss has never wanted anything more than to reach out his hand and have someone, anyone, reach back. When he receives his invitation to the Manor, he is drawn into its games by the promise of finally being understood.

    He didn't expect it to be so hard.

    Summary

    Home is where I want to be
    But I guess I'm already there
    I come home, she lifted up her wings
    I guess that this must be the place
    I can't tell one from another
    Did I find you, or you find me?
    There was a time
    Before we were born
    If someone asks, this is where I'll be
    Where I'll be

    Summary

    Joseph can imagine no crime more heinous than killing one's twin.

    Vera can't either, and it's difficult to punish someone who already punishes herself.
