Here's a small collection of short stories!

These range from around 2000-5000 words and were written for practice in character exploration and dialogue. They also have varying levels of legitimacy in terms of how they fit into the main story: some might reasonably fit in if considered as "extra" scenes, while others are written as a dive into an alternate ending scenario that totally contradicts canon. That's okay! These are just character studies!

Each story is labeled with a summary and any content warnings. The reader page is also formatted for easier viewing (no animations or blinkies!)
