Summary
Hornet never thought she could call the days of the infection ‘simple’, but her siblings so loved to complicate things, didn’t they? Of course, she’d never have it any other way. Even if it did mean she was a child again.
(In a desperate attempt to escape defeat, the Radiance tries to flee through time itself. Ghost follows, taking Hornet along for the ride. But they can’t very well leave Hollow behind either now, can they?
In which Hollow causes an international incident, Hornet wants to throttle someone, and Ghost discovers that punching the Pale King is way better when he’s actually alive.)

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
Somehow, the sound of rain is worse than the silence. But Hollow deserves it. It is tangible proof of their failure after all.
(Or: Sometimes you need to grieve to let yourself recover. And sometimes you need to realise that it wasn’t your fault in order to move on.)

Summary
The clues had always been there, he had just never wanted to see them. Maybe neither of them had, instead content to deny the truth before their eyes for the rest of their days because it was better than confronting the alternative. Except Scout had died, and Spy wasn’t able to keep on pretending for his last moments. A part of Jeremy was glad for it, despite the simmering rage and betrayal and hurt.
So when he tried to look God in the eye and tell Him that Tom Jones was his father... He couldn’t. Not really.
(Scout discusses his parentage with God, and stays dead for a little while longer. Well. A lot longer.
On the plus side, he gets to attend his own funeral reception.)

Summary
Rose Lalonde had made a pact. Perhaps she didn’t remember the details of it. Perhaps the nuances of the agreement had been lost in translation. Perhaps she simply didn’t know. But They did. They knew what contract had been made between Her and Them.
Rose Lalonde had made a pact.
It was time she held up her end of the deal.

Summary
All in all, Hornet was... content. The infection was gone, she had her siblings by her side, and Hallownest was flourishing back into the kingdom she had once known.
It was easy to find joy in the comfort of 'after'.

Summary
Muggings, murders, gangs, drugs, Derse has it all. You once came to this city as a bushy-tailed young Prospitian, but now? You can’t afford such optimistic views. You’re here to do a job, and do it you will.
Your name is Jane Crocker, and you’re the best damned private eye this godforsaken city has to offer.
Now if only that blasted lawyer would stop interfering...

Summary
It's ironic, he thinks, that life only started to make sense after he had died.
Eridan Ampora is adrift with guilt and betrayal, plagued with a conflicting sense of superiority and self-hatred, when he stumbles into Damara Megido.
It's the best thing that's ever happened to him.

Summary
They are trapped in a never-ending play, acting out the same roles over and over in the vague hopes that somehow, someday it will end. But it doesn't. So they deviate from the script, attempt to fulfill the purpose that brought them to the mountain in the first place in a last attempt to break free from the resets.
It doesn't work.
(But beneath their feet, the stage has begun to crack. After all, suicide is a pretty memorable thing, and emotions may just be a little bit stronger than memories.
Especially to the person who finds their dead body.) -

Summary
Winning the Game was the easy part.
Rebuilding was harder.(In which a bunch of kids are tasked with building a new civilisation, trauma doesn’t really disappear with the creation of a new universe, and bureaucracy is a universal constant that Rose Lalonde really wishes she doesn’t have to deal with.)
