Hello, everyone, it's Cierra here. Now, as you probably saw in the summary, this is a collection of one-shots. Duh. And in case you didn't see, this chapter is not one of the one-shots. Since there are several different one-shots in this collection, and the themes, characters, and plots can vary greatly, I decided to give you guys a table of contents. I have listed each one-shot, along with a quick plot summary and the main characters (these characters aren't necessarily a pairing - just the central characters).

After each summary, I have also listed the songs I recommend listening to. Songs are like stories with music, and I felt these songs really fit the stories. I put a lot of thought into which song goes with what story, and I think heading over to YouTube and playing these songs while you read really helps you get into the mood. I know it seems like a lot of effort, but they are really some beautiful songs, and they really improve the reading experience.
