Summary
A series of works focused on smut and the Rat Grinders.
This is an anthology, so you can jump in at just about any chapter. The few exceptions will have it mentioned, either in the chapter, or right before. Even the chapters that exist in a continuity with others remain readable without reading the earlier chapters.

Summary
“Why are you up here?”
“Needed a break. Stuff at the pool was crazy. You?”
“Music was too loud.”
“Ah.” He doesn’t say anything else.
“How’ve you been?”
“Okay. School has been… a lot. Like four years of learning in one a lot.”
“Woah. Multiclassing is seriously not for the weak.”
“You knew I was multiclassing?” Gorgug asks.
Zelda blushes a little. They don’t talk but she still likes to keep tabs on him. Just because. It’s not a crime. “Uh, yeah, kinda. I mean, like– yeah.”
“Cool.”
Just because they broke up doesn’t mean she stopped being attracted to him. It’s normal and perfectly fine and cool and she feels normal right now. The bubbles in her stomach are from that horrible drink, not Gorgug Thistlespring, and she feels fine.
OR
Zelda's alone at a party. Until she's not.

Summary
Kristen Applebees stands in her bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is a date that holds no meaning to her and doesn’t trigger any kind of instinctive mammalian response in her body at its uttering. All the better for her, because today she’s on a mission.
It’s not a mission to put her clothes away, although it might be nice to see the floor every once in a while. It’s not even a mission to stalk her ex, Tracker, on Fantasy Instagram, which she’s been managing to do less frequently. Instead, it’s a mission to figure out what in Cassandra’s name is up with her friends.
Your name is KRISTEN APPLEBEES and your friends have been acting SUSPICIOUS lately. It is your DIVINE DUTY, PROBABLY, to collect EVIDENCE in order to try and figure out what is happening. How will you proceed?

Summary
UPDATES ARE VERY SLOW!!!
After nearly two years of adventuring, Gorgug and his friends should have things under control. But when their latest battle spirals into chaos, their resources drained and a Tarrasque strikes a fatal blow, survival becomes uncertain. As his vision fades, Gorgug’s last thoughts are of Zelda. Meanwhile, Zelda’s peaceful day is shattered by a phone call that changes everything. The fight isn’t over yet—but this time, it’s a battle against time.
(Title inspired by The Great War by Taylor Swift—because sometimes, the hardest battles aren’t fought with weapons, but with love, fear, and the will to keep going.)

Summary
They were talking about Spring Break Quests when Antiope put down her soda and said, “Is there a single faculty member that isn’t related to Fig Faeth?” Everyone at their table—and it was a pretty packed table, what with the whole party and their boyfriends and various stragglers—turned to look at where Fig was standing with her arm in the recycling bin up to her elbow. Gilear was next to her looking worried and embarrassed and a little more damp than usual. When she saw everyone looking, Fig grinned and waved with her other hand.
Sam rolled her eyes. “Is there a single faculty member that isn’t related to you?”
“My sister and who else?” Antiope shot back.
And because they were already careening towards a fight, Yelle put her hands out in front of her and interrupted: “Zelda can tell us how many faculty members Fig is related to.”
(okay, you know the scene in twilight where anna kendrick is telling bella all about how the cullens live together and date each other? this is that, but for the bad kids' parental polycule, because no one can tell me it isn't insane juicy gossip during all of sophomore year)

Summary
Emberlaine Woodstone was tired of pining after Gorgug Thistlespring when he was in a committed relationship. So when Riz Gukgak asks her to be his fake girlfriend so he looks less lame in front of the other Bad Kids, she heartily agrees, hoping it'll at least be a fun distraction from her heartache. But as time goes on, they start to realize that maybe they don't want their relationship to be fake after all.
Work title and chapter titles are taken from the song "Jackie and Wilson" by Hozier.

Summary
Fig stood beside Ayda, looking down at her. She was wearing a deep red bathing suit and had her dark hair up in a ponytail. A few streaks of purple ran through it, which hadn’t been there last time Ayda saw her.
She looked very good. She always did, of course. But she did look very good right now.
“Is it okay if I join you?” Fig asked with a lopsided grin.
—
OR: It’s summer vacation. Ayda decides to come with Adaine to a party. There, she meets Fig Faeth (possibly the coolest girl in school), who seems oddly interested in getting to know Ayda.

Summary
Gorgug doesn’t say anything, just hums in thought and sympathy and continues to walk. Fig hunches her shoulder up at the noise, still feeling exposed. She glances up at Gorgug, forcing the tears away by blinking a few times, and sees he’s just looking forward, walking slower than normal to match her pace. He’s a constant for her. He’s been a constant while they’ve been on tour, always right next to her, on and off stage. He’s a solid presence among waves of change that threaten to drag her under. She knows he struggles with it too. Performing is new for both of them and sometimes Gorgug gets frozen before shows. It’s the solidarity in the struggle, knowing that when someone says ‘I know’, they actually do know, that calms Fig down. But Gorgug doesn’t know this. He has parents that love him and a stable life and never thought he knew what he was doing only to be disowned when that wasn’t true. Fig’s alone in this, she knows she is.

5 times Gorgug helped one of the adventuring party without knowing it and 1 time he knew. -

Summary
Zelda understood the disconnect he felt from his rage. That was Gorgug freshman year, primal rage battling gnomish positivity. But he doesn't feel that disconnect anymore. Sure, it's complicated, but Gorgug can reliably reach for the instinct that simmers low in him, and he can use it to protect his friends. He can also use it to have a fun wrestling match. It doesn't have to be separate from the part of him that supports and defends the people he cares about. In fact, he's not sure it could be separate now.
He wonders if Zelda would understand that. He knows, without question, that Ragh already does.
(Or: Gorgug and co. are in a time stop for seven days. Which is enough time to get over your breakup, make a new best friend, learn a lot about your van, have a conversation about religion, and maybe kiss that boy you like. Maybe.)

Summary
Gorgug asked Fabian if he could teach the half-orc how to waltz. Fabian agreed vehemently. Everyday since Gorgug asked, Fabian can't shake the feeling that his friend’s hand on his shoulder blade fits as if it was always meant to be there. That these parroted steps were destined to happen.
Or
Gorgug is taking Zelda as his prom date and has asked Fabian to teach him to waltz. Fabian of course agrees, even if his heart yearns to be the one to dance with Gorgug, even if he has to qualm with the fact he's in love with the other.

Summary
“Just be patient with me,” Fig says.
“Of course,” Gorgug says. He thinks there is nothing easier to do in the world.
Moving away for a year for work, Ayda leaves Fig with an ultimatum: for Fig to learn be herself in their relationship – to stop pushing her childhood trauma away where she thinks nobody can find it. Ayda loves Fig, but if nothing changes, she sees herself being actually, devastatingly finished with, well, everything.
Fig, terrified and broken hearted, takes this as an opportunity to ruin everything good her life. And like every year since they were fourteen, a secretly smitten Gorgug is left to pick up the pieces.
(A tragedy in three parts; Fig loves Ayda without knowing how, Gorgug loves Fig without reciprocation, and change is inevitable.)
