Mix & Match, Game 9 | Runner-Ups (Patreon)

Waaay back in 2025, we had our 9th game of Mix & Match.

These are short stories thrown together by voting on putting characters into situations that they might otherwise not be in, mixing and matching them together by vote of popularity.

These are the runner-ups! Rounds 3 and 5 each had 4 500-word short stories, and the four most-popular of those stories each recieved a 500-word continuation.

Each one has been republished here, complete with their continuation following a three-asterisk divider (* * *).

The third, second, and first place winners will be posted every remaining Friday in April.
