Summary
Pretend for a moment you’re Juzō. Or don’t; he barely wants to be him, some days. But suppose you do: you're going through puberty as a child soldier in your shitty hometown and trying to make yourself something you’re not, because you can just see the shape of it: the kind of shinobi that people respect, a member of the Seven, someone with a future. Focus on that. Really focus, because you want it, if you’re Juzō. You want it so bad it aches. And try not to think too long or too hard about your teammate (and his teeth, the way he snaps them when you’re irritating), or why you did anything you did on that last mission (that dumbstruck look when your gazes locked, the way the blood striped his skin. Because you can forget that, surely) or the way his cheek dimples when he smiles. Yes. That's manageable, isn’t it? Juzō told himself so, and all he had to do to get there was shut down his mind and shut up the overthinking and move like a shinobi was supposed to. Really. For sure.
He told himself all that, and he still ended up going. He was doing it for the squad. He was doing it to shut up the voices in his head. He was doing it to shove away the memory of blood on Jun’s mouth. Whatever he needed to sell himself on things. -

Summary
A few streets away from the temple (derelict since the regime change), cramped between buildings old enough to predate his grandfather, there was a shopfront with Apothecary writ on the sign in faded paint. The pharmacist in residence: a nominal shinobi, inactive duty, and a local curiosity for the simple fact of having survived so long. Kisame might have gone on ignoring that curiosity, if personal circumstance hadn’t shifted enough to make poison a necessity.

Summary
Trying to figure out what Ascelin was doing at any given time was more work than his teammates were really equipped for. So mostly they just wait, and let him tell them when he’s ready.
Unfortunately that sometimes means things like sitting in a restaurant and having him blurt out wildly inappropriate questions over lunch.Or, a Choir Scholar, a Church Prospector, and a Hunter walk into a bar... and get into an argument about sex. The argument is resolved in a brothel, because of course it is.
A sidestory from before Choral starts, starring Vasilissa, Drogomir and Ascelin when the city isn't in an unusual level of crisis.Series

Summary
Yharnam was never a friendly place, but it seemed to get worse every year, even for the people living in it. Another outbreak of the blood plague had the Healing Church occupied, and anyone who could not hunt kept their head down. You could maybe venture out, in the daylight - but not after dark, and not on the days of the hunt.
In the middle of all of this is Anastas, sixteen, sickly, and not especially talented. His older sister and only family, a Hunter for the church, has gone missing.
… So against all advice Anastas is talking to strange hunters and considering going out of doors, of course. If his sister wanted him safe, she should have been around to keep him so.
(Updates when life allows, at this point :’D)

Summary
Yari gets a pleasant surprise while transitioning back to active duty. Actually, that's a lie, everything about it is objectively bad news for his continued survival, but he'd never let a little thing like that get in the way of enjoying opportunities when life dumped them in his lap. 'Teach Hoshigaki some intel tricks' was objectively the biggest opportunity he'd had dangled in front of him in years, and hell if he was letting anyone take it from him. Even - no, especially - Hoshigaki himself.
