"For all my faith, for all my time, for all my life I had served and been his ever-present messenger . . . And yet I had failed, in the end." One-shot. Focuses on three messengers—one of letters (our favorite Snowy Owl), one of the past, and one of the Order of the Phoenix.

A one-shot for Adam Gidwitz's "A Tale Dark & Grimm" trilogy: A forest lies by the kingdom of children, but it is no ordinary forest... In the center of all stories, what could go right?

What she did was unthinkable. Horrifying. Terrible. But ultimately, it was unforgivable. So when she knocks upon your door, begging forgiveness, how else are you supposed to respond? One-shot, spoilers for Cahills vs. Vespers (and beyond even that, if you squint).

Dreams can never be fully drowned out, and nightmares even more so. But what, really, does that matter to the most beautiful creature ever to walk the earth? At what point does the nightmare step over dawn and into day? And as your heart cries on, and on, and on . . . The sea calls, the forest pulls, and the stars sing of your past—and future. One-shot!

. . . Because, sometimes, you have to let yourself trip to keep walking. Sometimes, you have to let go to hold on. And, of course, all are subject to the prowess of gravity. One-shot.

The first letter. Miracolina's return. The tale of an ex-worker from the Juvenile Authority. Ponderings of an unwinding surgeon. And, of course, an AWOL's own testimony against unwinding itself. The story told all over, from perspectives Neal Shusterman has left unwritten. Unwinding was no dream, and if the world is trying to say it is, you must wake it. One-shot.
