Summary
While exploring a post-liberation Heaven’s Reach, Nikki and Momo chance upon Angert laying flowers among the quiet ruins behind the Golden Court. As it turns out, he wasn't supposed to be in Heaven's Reach at all, having convinced Meghill to let him leave Boneyard on the flimsy excuse of "tree therapy" in the Elderwood Forest.
When an emotional conversation causes Angert to blow right past his five o'clock curfew, an emergency flight home and a disastrously unhelpful alibi from Momo only succeed in digging him an even deeper hole with his Clan Chief.
(Set post-Itzaland Chapter 14. Featuring Angert-centric angst, an intensely overprotective Meghill, and Nikki and Momo’s misguided attempts at being supportive allies)

Summary
Momo's tale of a rogue Swanara attack was supposed to save Angert from Meghill's wrath over a broken curfew and unanswered messages. Instead, it has left him stranded with an intensely overprotective Clan Chief brandishing medication and demanding his top off for an inspection.
Cornered, Angert is forced to confess that he'd made a secret trip to Heaven's Reach to lay flowers for people he feels he has no right to mourn. But rather than fury or disappointment, Meghill meets his guilt with an unexpected vulnerability of his own, and an overdue hug.
Of course, the Clan Chief never lets a lie go unpunished. Claiming that Angert might just be lying about lying, Meghill insists on conducting his inspection anyway.
Set post-Itzaland Chapter 14.

Summary
An afternoon of routine administrative planning in the office quickly devolves into a petty scuffle—and ends in an impulsive kiss.
In the aftermath, Clan Chief Meghill is left spiraling in sheer panic. Terrified that he has crossed an unforgivable line, his anxiety is only magnified by Angert’s infuriating habit of hiding behind casual deflections and frivolous jokes.
Having only just gotten him back from the grave, Meghill is haunted by one suffocating question: can he finally break through Angert's defenses and keep him by his side, or has his recklessness paved the way for the tragedy of losing him all over again?
(Set after Itzaland Chapter 14. An exploration of Meghill's perspective following Angert's resurrection, his thoughts on Angert's 'Final Letter' to Nikki, and the long-overdue heart-to-heart Nikki advised Angert to have. Features horn-grabbing, tail-swishing related accidents and a healthy mix of internal angst and kissing.)
