Continued Series

	The Forgotten Years:Part Three Several days had passed by and Zairia finally returned to the kingdom. The dark faerie started to avoid everyone close to her. She kept to herself and skipped all council meetings. by trishabeakens
	Shadow Play:Part Nine The return to Defenders HQ thankfully passed without incident. The gum-covered Zafara Rogue got plenty of odd looks from passersby, but considering their party also included a Werelupe and a glowy Halloween Kyrii battlemage, Terra was more than used to odd looks by now. by cosmicfire918
	Isolde and the Faerie Statue:Part Six The Haunted Woods was never Isolde’s favourite place in the world, either. It was quieter than Neopia Central, sure, but the silence was often broken by shrieks and the land had a foul odor that lingered at all times. also written by anachronisms by tsiegred
	Laurel:Part Two On the way to Faerieland, Laurel met a beautiful Royalgirl Uni named Hannah. Hannah was a singer and her hair seemed to dance down her back. Laurel immediately felt connected to Hannah somehow. also by beckykbrooks by applefaerie99

"Ink: Background" by june_scarlet
Neo’s Diner was sparsely populated that night. Perhaps because the villain Baron Von Evil had escaped and was free to attack it, or anywhere else he pleased. But more likely because it was a weeknight and people had better things to do. Not Cleopatra Kish. The Grey Aisha sat at the second booth from the corner, her usual spot. She took a sip of coffee, and was disappointed to find it was now stone cold. He was late. She flipped through her reporters’ notebook. Cleo was briefly reminded of the time Ron had rescued her notes from a pickpocket who’d stolen her purse. She rubbed her face tiredly. Things had seemed so much simpler back then. When the blond looked back up, he was there. James Sparks. A hard-boiled detective if she’d ever seen one. His trench coat was looking a bit shabby, and so was the rest of him. He sat down across from Cleo, and the waitress approached, handing him a menu. “Would you like something to drink?” “Cream Soda,” said the White Lutari, then asked the blond across from him, “You still payin’, Kish?”
