Summary
She took a hold of the Modulator’s hand, and pressed it against the fissure at her chest. She had no heart, but energy surged at the crystal below her neck, pulsing in tandem with the Modulator’s heartbeat. “An oath from my heart, a vow from my soul,” Shorekeeper promised, her voice a private, soft song. “I will stay by your side, now and forever always. I will watch over our home until you return, and will watch over you when you do.”
OR
How Shorekeeper fell in love with the Leader, the Astral Modulator of the Black Shores, and how they met again

Summary
Inevitable, beyond the mere concept of inevitability. Kafka had been one of the best before she retired at a mere twenty-five, and it had been sheer talent that propelled her there. Even back then, Himeko had known—Kafka was a storyteller, and not even five years of retirement could snuff out that flame.
It’s an issue. A big one.
Because if Kafka gets this role, then the ghost becomes flesh. The phantom gets a call sheet, a trailer, a wardrobe rack, and three months of shared scenes and early mornings and Yao Guang’s terrifyingly intimate notes on eye contact. If Kafka gets this role, Himeko will have to stand across from her every single day and pretend that the last five years did not leave a strange little bruise somewhere beneath her ribs.
or, they're actresses, Kafka reemerges after five years of radio silence, and Himeko wonders what the hell she did to deserve this.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Entirety of Delicious in Dungeon
In which Marcille, arrested for using Dark Magic, never makes it to the Dungeon. And in which Falin, still eaten by a dragon, is rescued with more trouble and returns from the journey a little more monstrous than she might have been, had Marcille been there to help her. When Marcille is rescued from her imprisonment, Falin wants to help her. But her dearest friend is skittish and hurt, and a creature such as Falin will surely frighten her. But she’s determined to pamper Marcille all the same. It’s just a matter of hiding how monstrous she has become.

Summary
Affection is a mad swarm of butterflies bubbling up from her stomach through the cage of her ribs. It pushes up and spills outwards, splitting her lips into a smile. What will she do with all this love? On a whim, she parts the messy fringe at Falin’s forehead, then leans down to plant a kiss upon the sliver of exposed skin.
Falin’s hand is soft and warm in hers. Marcille jolts backwards at the realization that she is awake. Her head almost bangs against the coarse tree bark behind her. Her cheeks are aglow when she meets Falin’s warm, amber eyes.
“Wake me up before you kiss me next time,” Falin says, eyes crinkling as she smiles crookedly up at Marcille. “I’ve missed too much already.”

Summary
The truth is that Nefer once thought blindness was a complete darkness, though she now knows that it varies. She had opened her eyes once — perhaps directly to spite Lauma’s mandates — and saw only flickers of light, concentrated where Lauma stood. And this split her chest with a horrible ache; the absence of what they once had, and the absence of moon’s beauty shining back at her.
OR: nefer misses most what she won't let herself have
