    Summary

    The Narrator: You are on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

    Happily Ever After: “Where am I?”

    The Narrator: Your fashionable companion stumbles a few steps forward, her heels wobbling on the uneven dirt of the path. She whirls her head around, as if searching for something that can’t be seen, and eventually her eyes settle on yours.

    Happily Ever After: “…Who are you?”

    * “Who are you?”

    Happily Ever After: “I’m … I’m a Princess. A-And I asked first!”

    Summary

    You tremble as you reach her feet, falling to your knees. The towering Princess lifts your chin with your finger, and watching her face you realize you won't be able to kill her. The puddles of blood you kneel on top off, the tremble on your grip, the voices in your head, they all tell you you don't deserve the title of slayer.
    But that doesn't mean you've ran out of options.

    Summary

    What if you could kiss Princesses other than Thorn? An anthology of Slay the Princess one-shots exploring the game's paths and characters by asking that question. They're typically written in the game's dialog only format, and I generally try to present them as plausible alternate options that might appear in-game. Feel free to read them in whatever order you want!

    Summary

    The Wild and the Apotheosis are two of the strongest vessels, they can break the construct. When the Shifting Mound is a bit late on retrieving her gift of a Tender Heart, the Nightmare grows to receive this strength, too.

    But all she knows is how to hurt…

    And so she does. She breaks the Long Quiet. Not mentally, or spiritually, or even just his will. She breaks him in a terrible, pragmatic way.

    Like the Sleeping Mound, they can hope to rebuild him from the Paranoid voice that survives. Together, the Paranoid and the Nightmare must bring Voices to the Long Quiet, and Vessels to the Shifting Mound.

    Hilarity ensues.

    Something has disturbed the Stranger and caused them to fall apart, along with reality itself. Versions of the Princess who never should have met find themselves together, forming unlikely friendships, bloody rivalries, and tense alliances. As the world continues to fracture and their stories progress, the princesses face annihilation if they can’t convince the Stranger to repair herself.

    Traitors will have to become allies. Skeptics will have to trust. And a being defined by perception must decide for herself what she is.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu and Tomioka Giyuu have been dropped into the Slay the Princess universe. At first, they're confused and target the protagonist of the universe, assuming that he was attacking a woman already locked away in the basement, but as time goes on and loops repeat, they realize that the princess is not what she seems

    The Long Quiet and the voices in his head are confused on why slaying the princess is more complicated than the narrator lets on.

    Summary

    Priscilla Corbeau didn't love her husband, but she certainly didn't want him dead. And yet, when she returns from vacation, that's what she gets---along with the information that everything she knew about him was a lie.

    Years ago, he stole a fortune from the British government, and in doing so, made a number of enemies---all of whom are now after Priscilla. With the help of a charming stranger named Skips, she's got to track down that fortune before she winds up dead... except, it's not too clear whether or not Skips is all that trustworthy.

    And considering she's getting dangerously close to falling for him, that's a problem.

    Summary

    Millions upon millions of lives short and lives shorter, of deaths quick and deaths tortuously slow. Millions of torments and agonies, of blissful dreams-come-true, of both and of neither and of everything else possible under the sky. Probably more; who could ever keep track of it all, even if they tried?

    Gods, maybe. But we aren't gods.

    We are people who have had enough. We are people who can never forget the past, but have found the will to change their future.

    We aren't gods. We are ourselves; whoever that happens to be.

    Summary

    Life has never been safe for a Borrower in a world governed by humans. Viewed as evil omens, any power-bearing “Fae” find themselves prey to black market circles where their fates are drawn to the highest bidder. And sometimes, the winners prefer to place them into the ring and hedge their bets even higher on a gladiatorial fight against something much, much worse.

    As is the fate of a pair of escaped siblings, surviving in the woods by the skin of their teeth. But when evading their opponent proves too challenging, it may take deciding between trusting the owner of a nearby cabin or trying to outrun an enemy that can’t be killed.

    But the tenants of that safe haven have one damning condition: they must reveal themselves to him first to be granted shelter. In order to make peace with the present, it may take unraveling the horrors of the past and the entwined destines between them all to save who still remains of all Borrowers, Cryptids, and Fae - and perhaps even the very forest itself.

    When on Borrowed paths, some things cannot be returned.

    Summary

    It's easy to forget from the privileged position of an immortal god. It's easy to treat the vessels, dangerous and terrible shards of divinity, as harmless. To dismiss their powers and their cruelties as mere quirks.

    But sometimes, it's not an immortal god. Sometimes a mere human finds themselves in the presence of Her Royal Highness. Their chapters are much shorter, much bloodier, and don't end with a reset and a new voice.

    Here are some of them.
