Summary
The summer of 2012 was supposed to be a good one. Niko Sasaki was on the brink of teenagerhood - not that she particularly cared about that. So far, all that meant was having to stuff pads into her underwear whenever her period decided to show up. Not a big deal, really. Plus, her family had finally saved up enough to leave their land-locked state and take a week-long vacation in Florida! Niko hadn't seen the ocean before, and her Japanese parents had talked about it enough that she was raring to go and see what the fuss was about. This summer would truly change the rest of her life - though not necessarily for the better.
Title from "Panic" by SM6

Not to mention, Niko's suspicious that Jenny and her partner Onca may be already engaged... Niko presents her findings to the agency with two goals in mind: figure out what exactly is going on with Jenny/Onca, and how Niko, Crystal, Charles, and Edwin can do their best to support them.
Feat. Impromptu wedding planner!Niko, several love confessions, and the first published work including members of the Goo!!!

Summary
Everybody dies in the end, good and evil alike. Charles knows this in the abstract--it's part of his job, isn't it? Besides, he'd been dead for decades, you'd think that sort of thing would've sunk in by now. That doesn't stop the shock, surprise, anguish, and all those other complicated emotions from bashing him over the head when he hears the news.
Or; Charles's parents pass, which means he gets one final conversation with each of them.

They knew it was going to hurt. They always knew it would hurt. But they knew it had to happen.
They thought they could get through this. They thought it would always be the two of them against the world. They were willing to do anything.
They never wanted to ask so much.

Summary
The world of the Bennet family is simple: Hakoda, the master of Longbourn House, is a gentleman with "constant business to attend to", if only to escape the rest of his family's antics. Kanna, mother of Hakoda and mistress of the house, is a gentlewoman by birth who is simultaneously very aware of how crucial it is to marry the children off well and of how attractive men can be in military regalia. Katara, the eldest daughter of Hakoda, is almost guaranteed to marry well with her effortless beauty, caring yet determined nature, and her powerful waterbending abilities. Ty Lee, the youngest and only adoptive daughter of Hakoda, is almost guaranteed to make a fool of herself no matter where she goes, with her tendency to flirt with everyone available and her lack of concern for her own future. And lastly is Sokka, the middle child and only son of Hakoda, who is not guaranteed anything at all, as he occupies a space between two very different lifestyles and which path he takes has yet to be determined.
Their world is simple, but it will not remain that way for long.
