Put the story in my own thread, but I always try to leave a post here as well:

From Craftyatom for Razoredge - Roots in the Frost

“You should apologize to her.”

It took a moment for Saki’s father to realize who that was meant for. “Me?”

“Yes, you.”

He scoffed. “For what? Giving her decent advice ? Trying to help her find her path in life?”

“How about for the stress you caused her?”

“I hardly think that one argument over ...

“I should go talk to her.”

Neither of Saki’s parents disagreed - if anything, they seemed somewhat relieved that Hisao would be the one handling things. Or maybe that was just his imagination, given how quickly he got up and headed down the hallway towards Saki’s room.

Despite hurrying out of the ...

“We should give her some space.”

It took a few seconds of silence, but eventually, Saki’s father nodded. “Perhaps that is for the best.” With that, he and his wife both went back to eating, and Hisao followed suit, though the lack of conversation was noticeable.

After a few minutes, however, Saki ...

“Okay, okay, stand over here, and wait until I say the word, got it?”

Hisao nodded, and stood to one side of the door - a surprisingly imposing one, given that it notionally only led to Saki’s room - while her mom pressed a button on the wall next to it.

“Saki, can I come in?”

The panel on the ...

Roots in the Frost
Hisao carefully folded a large selection of clothes, placing them one by one into a large bag. Nothing fancy or formal - just casual clothes to be worn while on vacation. T-shirts, shorts, socks, sweatpants, skirts, and of course, plenty of underwear.

He rather enjoyed the ...

Well, it's that time of year again - hang on. What do you mean it's not even the right year? The pinned posts says the deadline is January 1st, and it's still January 1st in... Hawaii, for 20 more minutes. Still counts!

Seriously, though, this year's secret santa was made more complicated for me by ...

Well damn. Here we are, huh. Been meaning to read this one for a long time, and finally got the chance. So...

“Nobody, I just thought I felt a text.” I lie.

Every Feurox story has a particular moment, once all the exposition is over, which reminds you it's a Feurox story.

“Yeah, I’m awake ...

Too Much Dough Ho Ho

First, thank you so much for your story, and I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond! It's always a pleasure to be involved in the secret santa, but unfortunately things picked up after the holidays, so I didn't get a chance to properly reply until now.

I like the setup ...

I just posted my secret santa over in my one-shot thread, but here's the link for the collection - Merry (slightly belated) Christmas, hdkv (and everyone else)!

From Craftyatom for hdkv - Happy With Yourself

But... was it?

They hadn’t yet gotten to the point where Now-Misha would begin hurting her, but it was drawing close. And yet, Once-Misha still felt... nothing. No fear, no anger, no sadness. If this was happening because she deserved to be punished, then why didn’t she feel bad? Surely it was ...

Misha had been completely reinvigorated by her newfound hobby. Watching and talking with Shizune became interesting again - Lilly never quite scratched the same itch, but that didn’t matter.

All that mattered was that Misha felt alive .

She got more work done, she spoke more confidently, she felt ...

And yet, at least on the surface, life had continued... pretty much as normal. Neither of them had ever spoken about that night again.

But inside, Misha had felt like a hole had been torn in her. She had expected it to be painful, but it hadn’t been an acute pain - it had been more like hunger ...

"Are you happy with yourself?"

The meaning of those words changed a lot, depending on how Misha said them in her head. Often, they conveyed disappointment, like her parents chastising her for something - the implication was that she should not be happy. But they could also represent a sick reversal ...

Well, here we are again! It’s Christmas - or, well, within a week of Christmas - and so it’s time for my entry in the annual writers’ secret santa ! I used to try and post on the 25th every year, but I mentioned last year that I was busy, and it has only gotten more true this year: I landed a job ...
