    Summary

    You blink. You've just awoken to the dulcet tones of Fred Durst yelling about the way that it's just one of those days when you don't want to wake up. Raising your very uninjured arm and pressing your hand against your eyes so hard you start seeing stars, you just might have to agree with his assessment. Because it is one of those days where everything is fucked. Everybody does, in fact, suck.

    Your name is DIRK STRIDER, and this is the third time you've woken up on this exact morning.

    You just might have to start breaking stuff.

    In a world slightly off from the one we are used to, the Striders end up stuck in a Groundhog Day-esque time loop.

    How do you get out of a labyrinth when all you have is a string that keeps fraying?

    Summary

    Surviving and a failure to thrive aren't mutually exclusive. Things rack up. Injuries don't always get the chance to heal. Appetites wither in the face of repeated and prolonged stress. He's keeping up, but he isn't. He's making it through, but not well. Supplies continue to dwindle, and he's feeling the toll.

    Dirk Strider's life has never been easy. But if humanity's hallmarks advertise anything, it's tenacity above all adversity, and, above all else: Adaptability.

    Now, who could blame him for taking that to heart?

    Summary

    Once a year, the world's best trainers compete for the title of World Champion. Toril, the favorite, has dedicated her life to battling. Aracely, the underdog, has not. In fact, she barely knows the rules. She didn't even build her own team. She's a mockery of the sacred bond between trainers and Pokémon, one Toril swears to eliminate.

    But Aracely makes plays that shouldn't be possible. She reads opponents as though reading their minds, predicts exactly what they'll do. And now, she's made another prediction, one far more unsettling: "When I win, the world ends."

    Summary

    Your name is Dave Strider, you're the victor of the 72nd Hunger Games, and the only thing you care about is keeping yourself and your brother safe.

    Your name is Dirk Strider, and the Capitol made the mistake of turning you into what you are, before giving you every reason to want to see it burn.

    Your name is Jake English, and surviving to become the single most popular victor in the Capitol might in fact have been a fate worse than death.

    Your name is Rose Lalonde, and you're going to be the next Head Gamemaker no matter whose corpse you have to step over to get there.

    Your name is Karkat Vantas, and you know you're going to die.

    Your name is Terezi Pyrope, and you refuse to let them kill you.
