Alexa lives her best life. Lord Harrier and Guns Empress. Lila Brown fluff. Cross regains her memories. Ga Jiarg has coffee. Gwin is just fine!

The Earth Colonization Project was concerned about the combination of powerful artificial bodies and equally powerful emotions. They created safeguards that fail on Mira. Or, I use every sappy trope that I love so so so much, including amnesia, Hanahaki disease, Elvis, and ONLY ONE BED. All the good stuff belongs to MonolithSoft. (On hiatus until September.)

Lin & Tatsu & a Nopon horror story.

An illness is spreading through New Los Angeles, and Jack Vandham is one of the latest patients. His inability to be a good patient is really testing Nagi's patience. Whoever said doctors make the worst patients has clearly never met his husband!

The plan: Daily short stories inspired by AU gust prompts, staying solidly on Mira. Some interconnect: Doug sees something weird, Irina and Gwin time loop, Wolf & Duna. Ryyz meets a prince. Chausson has coffee. Lila Brown OC tries something new. Lin and the 7 Nopon. Surfer Yelv. Trueno hanahaki.

New Years Eve in New Los Angeles. To celebrate the night (and to push my word count to 100k this year), enjoy a story featuring Nopon volleyball, why Frye is banned from the Repenta, Doug on a dangerous mission, Irina trying not to strangle Murderess, Hope trying to be cheerful, Vandham babysitting, H.B. without supervision, the joys of parenting, and a Pathfinder climbing stuff.

A massive structure appears in downtown New Los Angeles, promising delights and amusement. What dangers is it also hiding?

All the good things belong to Monolith Soft.

Happy 6th Anniversary in NA and Europe! H.B. and Frye are terrible friends and teammates, by which I mean they get a lot done but not without trouble.

Loosely based on this post-battle quote: Frye - "Buy you a beer after this Mr. Secretary?" Nagi - "Beer? I was hoping we'd do shots."
