Summary
It was the old man on the ground floor, was it, that merchant of secrets, who’d let slip to her that that young pair of hunters come up from the south had abandoned this room? And that certain girls with quick hands and sweet eyes were welcome to it, if they’d fancy a place of their own—even if just a small one in a crumbling old house that belongs to no one much. At any pass, he said, he’d made it a point to save such tidbits for the girls in question before anyone else, just in case. Just in case, and for only two gil! And Ahlab had figured it was kind, and paid up. She’ll have to go back downstairs and thank him later.
In which a wanderer finds a room of her own.

Summary
She looks like something out of one of his stories. No, she looks like she has a good story or two of her own to tell, this Marianne; sweet-voiced and steady-eyed, everything and nothing at all like he remembers.
He’s sure it must be the mirror of his own expression he sees in her face a beat later, when her gaze comes up to meet his—naked surprise, then recognition. A flicker of doubt. Recognition again.
In which Claude and Marianne arrive at the same place by different roads.

Summary
"Over the years, the Hasetsu Inn, run by the Katsuki family, has somehow become a second home to a bevy of different mages from across the land. They come and go as their callings require them, but all of them have found somehow that once you’ve stayed at the inn, you never really leave."
Or: the one where Yuuri's family runs a Magical Inn in a Dime-a-Dozen Fantasy Village(TM), where lots of silly things happen (and many feelingsful things too).

Summary
Sometimes that thought is terrifying, that another human being could be both so unnoticed and so necessary, so much like the wind he was named for. Other times, it is all the comfort she’ll allow herself—that he is here, and there is no one else who will let her send him to all the places she cannot go, no one else to whom she can speak of all the things she should not speak.
Or: Kaze x Azura triptych, pre-game to post-game, Conquest timeline.

Summary
“I… I wanna open a restaurant,” Narancia says. “A really good restaurant! But shit’s expensive, and I don’t just want Giorno to pay for it all, so…”
A restaurant. The simplicity of it throws her, for a second—but she remembers the afternoon that Giorno had gone with Fugo and Abbacchio to Pompeii, and the rest of them had stayed behind in the safehouse by the vineyard, and after an hour or so she’d heard Narancia banging around in the kitchen, throwing together something with spaghetti and garlic and anchovies. She remembers the song he’d been humming, off-key. La varca mia, Santa Lucia.
She remembers so much more of Narancia—so much more of that fistful of days of hiding and running and hating—than she wants to. Even today. Even now.
“Or,” she says, “you could come on tour with me. My bodyguard just quit. Like, this morning.”
Trish, Narancia, and what comes after.

Never alone.
Haiji learns, un-learns, and learns again.

Summary
“Ever heard of Stella?"
Confusion etches itself onto Gentaro’s brow. “That’s a strange choice. There’s nothing on that planet but—"
“—criminals, gamblers, and general debauchery,” continues Dice with a flourish. “Exactly what I’m looking for.”
“It occurs to me that I’ve just bartered with a madman."
Born in the gutter, Gentaro strikes a deal with a star.
