    Summary

    When she was little, Toriel wanted to be a ballerina. When she was very little. (Don’t laugh. It’s silly – it seems so silly now, but – don’t laugh).

    There weren’t any ballerinas in the underground – they were a thing in old books that came down from the human world, and they were magic to her. She knew monsters who could breathe fire, monsters whose touch turned things to ice, but those girls in those floofy pink skirts, their delicate ankles, their perfectly bent wrists… They were foreign and lovely. It didn’t matter that the covers of the books were torn and the illustrations smeared from their travels, those girls shone out, perfect and neat and beautiful and so small.

    But then she grew up and realised there were no ballerinas who looked like her, and that she had two left feet besides.

    Summary

    She floats to the parked car, the weak Washington sun sweet on her bared shoulders. One of the Natalias of the past knew a poem about spring – some of the lines whisper through her mind, trailing like smoke, shifting between Russian and English like a radio trying to hold on to a station through the static.

    Afterwards, Natasha does what she does best – she starts over.

    Summary

    Wanda has always had a reflection, one that was her face but not her face. Her face but longer, her face but steelier-eyed, her face but sharper, wryer. A twelve-minutes-older face. A bully-beating, last-spoon-of-ice-cream-stealing face. A loved face.

    After everything, Wanda learns how to throw a punch, makes some friends, falls in love, and finds that there is still good in the world.

    Summary

    Donnie chuckled under his breath.

    “What?” Raph asked.

    “Nothing. I thought that squirrel seemed a little nutty.” Donnie paused, eyebrows raised, but Raph did not give him the satisfaction of a laugh. “Uh, nevermind. The fridge works fine. It’s just the lightbulb that’s out.”

    “Oh, great,” Raph said. “Give it a twist and let’s get the hell out of here.”

    “Mikey would’ve laughed.”

    “I’m not Mikey.”

    “No,” Donnie sighed. “You’re not.”

    Raph wished he remembered enough about his youngest brother to understand all the nuanced layers of meaning in Donnie’s statement. But since he didn’t, Raph let it pass.

    ------

    The M-Bomb has detonated over New York City. Having lost his family and his memory, Raph wanders through an apocalypse with nothing to tie him to his past except his brother, Donatello.

    Will they survive?!?!?! (probably not)
