Sketchy (Kenny/Kyle | PG13 | 3,587 words): Turns out, Kenny has a secret sketchbook which includes, among other things, risqué drawings of Kyle. This is completely delightful. It feels like a slightly older, slightly more grounded in reality South Park.

Excerpt:
"Damn sure," [Kyle] said furiously, knuckles white around the binder. "I don't know why he drew me but I did not okay this!"

"You take up like, half the book," Cartman said smugly, eyes glittering. "Kinnie's interested in all kinds of shit, I know, but I wouldn't have thought he'd be into your ugly, pasty ass-"

Kenny himself bounded through the Marsh's back door, coming to a standstill at the picture he saw standing before him.

Cartman was smiling like it was his birthday as he twisted around to face him, Stan was holding a dog upside-down to his chest and watching Kenny with a uncomfortable expression, and Kyle was red-faced and holding the canvas notebook in his hands as he stared back at the blond.

Kenny was still, taking in all their faces, looking Kyle in the eyes.

And then he bolted.

Kryptonite (Craig/Tweek | G | 4,045 words): Middle school prom is coming up, and Craig is so bad at communication. This is both sweet and funny because Craig really is so bad at using his words.

Excerpt:
"Wait, I'm confused," Clyde says, frowning and looking a little lost.

"Nevermind," Token says with faux sympathy, as if he's a mother consoling a child. It passes a moment later. He turns his attention on Tweek instead. "Think you'll manage to button up your dress shirt right?"

"Hey!" Tweek frowns. "Of course I will!"

"Craig will have to be on alert for that," Token laughs, pulling the other boys minus Tweek in with him.

They all fall silent a moment later when they all make a simultaneous realisation.

"Craig?" Tweek asks softly, concerned. "You okay?"

Craig doesn't even glance up from where he's quietly eating his chicken dippers. He shrugs and swallows. "I'm fine."

"You sure?" Tweek presses, touching his shoulder. "You're really quiet."

It takes all of Craig's willpower not to shrug him off. His stomach hurts again, churning with discomfort. It's grown exponentially with knowing that all of his friends are looking at him.

"I'm fine," he says again. "Just sick of talking about this gay ass prom." He doesn't mean to sound so snappy, but the resulting flinch of his tablemates tell him that's exactly how it's come across.

The Exhilaration of Victory (Craig/Tweek | G | 4,694 words): Tweek and Craig have been fake dating for five years at this point; they have a routine. I really like this one because is the relationship even fake at this point? In some ways, no, but also still yes in a lot of ways, and it's a really interesting take on Craig and Tweek's relationship.

Excerpt:
So, usually, they sit together at the back of the bus and Tweek always, always manages to drift off, leaning his whole body against Craig’s. The ride is pretty short and it’s impossible for Craig to stop getting that twisting feeling of guilt at the bottom of his stomach when he has to gently wake Tweek up cause they’ve reached their stop.

“Sure. As soon as I finish the math homework that's due tomorrow.”

“Oh God. I’ve forgotten about that!” Tweek yelps frustrated. “There is no way I’m gonna have it ready by tomorrow, man! I can’t concentrate doing homework at the coffee shop. Jesus, what am I going to do Craig?"

Craig lets him rant for a while, half amused, half annoyed cause he knows it’s just an act. Sometimes he wonders, if Tweek is truly worried that Craig will eventually stop letting him copy his math homework and so he puts extra effort to his show every time in order to ‘melt his icy heart’ or some shit.

Unlikely Crossover (ensemble | R | 2,021 words) has the South Park kids invading the police station in Cascade. The story manages to poke fun at a few Sentinel fandom cliches while also bringing the utter insanity that is South Park into the station.

Excerpt:
"Where were you going?"

"Back to South Park, man."

"Colorado?" Blair asked from behind them. "What were you doing in Cascade?"

"We didn't mean to come to your stupid city. We were going to Seattle, and Mr. Garrison took a wrong turn."

"Who's Mr. Garrison?" Not the guy talking to his hand. Please don't let it be the guy talking to his hand.

"The guy talking to his hand." Kyle confirmed.
