Summary
'Three plus one' doesn’t always equal Four.
Three Mantle natives, and an Atlesian elite. Three independent Huntresses-in-training, and one future Military Specialist. Three romantic partners, and the odd-one-out. Three girls, and a guy. From the outside, that’s just how it looks – an insurmountable divide – but not everyone’s happy to leave the equation unsolved. When years of mounting pressure finally come to a head one dark, dreary night at Atlas Academy, an unexpected discovery kickstarts a team’s efforts to welcome their fourth member into the fold… From acceptance, to support, to maybe, just maybe, falling a little bit in love.
(Very Happy Huntresses-in-progress, Academy-Era.)

Summary
In one world, a troubled little bluebird leaps from the gilded cage of Atlas, and lands in the hands of three women who'd change her life forever. To become May Marigold, to become a Happy Huntress, to be loved and live happily-ever-after. In another, by a small quirk of fate, the same girl falls into the grasp of a different charismatic leader, with a different crew of outcasts. The fate of all Remnant may shift under the fluttering of a blackened bluebird’s wings.
After fleeing Atlas Academy with a wounded sense of self, the miserable heir to the Marigold family fortune finds themself living rough in Mantle's backstreets. In a world where Cinder never falls, where Winter becomes a much happier huntress, and where Salem still seeks a viable new vessel to inherit the Maidenhood, it is the cry of Marigold's heart that seals their fate. When a powerful stranger comes calling to dredge them out of the slush and grime, and in an instant, sees her for who she really is - and all that she can become - a future, fledgling Fall Maiden is born.
(The less-fortunate flipside of Connect Four.)

Summary
"It wasn't supposed to go down like this. Not yet. She had no idea when it would have, or even if she ever safely could have. But then someone discovered something they weren't supposed to, shared something they never had the right to, and at the most catastrophic time they could have chosen to. And didn’t *that* just spark off the whole damn dust mine.
Tonight, a perfect storm is set to ravage the Marigold Mansion, and one Marigold in particular does NOT want to be here when it does."
(tl;dr May's last night in Atlas.)

Summary
The consequences of the Fall of Beacon in Vale were myriad, unforeseen, far-reaching, and in some cases, very absurd.
With intercontinental shipping out of commission, the Happy Huntresses must boldly venture out in search of new, local suppliers for their needs… On AND off-the-clock.

Summary
It's the end of the world outside. Ancient undying Grimm Witch illegally double-parking her death-whale in public airspace. Abandoned by Atlas, hunted by the cops. Mantle's freezing or on fire, depending where you look. Their leader's gone, their lieutenant's burning herself at both ends. They're all tired, too serious to have time to breathe, to relax together as the quirky, queer dorks they are at home. They're hurting, but they're still holding on... to some extent.
May might just need a special reminder how. A reminder of a promise she made, a long time ago.

Summary
'Robyn Hill is very much, at her core, a community-oriented person – a loud and proud Mantler, nearly her whole life spent within three hours of that same city. Robyn was born, lived, loved, and fought inside that urban sprawl. For that urban sprawl. For all intents and purposes, Mantle – and by reluctant extension, Atlas at large – comprised the size, shape, and bounds of Robyn’s material world. And now it’s gone.'
Fleeing the desolation of a freshly-fallen Atlas, it takes Robyn Hill a bit longer to reach Vacuo than her beloved team – A journey which affords her plenty of time to think about just what she wants for their future aside from seeing them alive again, and what risks she’s keen to take once she does.
