The Enfancia Project is a satire of contemporary university pre-professional culture. Told through alternating interviews and flashbacks, five ambitious undergraduates running a crisis management consulting club find themselves in over their heads with a scandal of their own after accepting a subcontracting job from a prestigious consulting firm. As they are questioned by a reporter about their involvement in the scandal, each of the students recalls how they ended up in the club, weaving a portrait of the startling inevitability of pre-professional culture.
Ouroboros is a conversation between two figures intimately familiar with death. Cecily is a young reaper, responsible for guiding souls to their afterlives. Lilias is a godkiller, an ancient creature of legend, whose birthright is to seek out gods and destroy them. When Cecily comes to collect a soul, Lilias offers her a drink, and they begin to speak -- about time, age, grief, home, memory... and the funny ways things have of coming back around.
Six Years Later takes place in a world not unlike our own. The bustling metropolis of Eden City is under the protection of the formidable Red Sparrow, a superhero otherwise known by his civilian name, Kit Hunter. He’s had little real protecting to do since the public defeat (and private retirement) of his arch-nemesis, the Ghost, and has spent his years basking in the fame that came with it. Six years after their final confrontation, the two supers assume their civilian identities and meet up for coffee—but in the interim, their lives have diverged, and not everything is as perfect it seems.
