School for Villains. Content Warning.
"There are many things that you need to know in order to be a successful villain. Can anybody name any?" The Professor started every year with his new class of hopefuls with a simple question and answer. As expected, no-one put their hand up. None would carelessly reveal their knowledge. It was the role of the villain not to appear too eager, to remain withdrawn until the ultimate moment came to make themselves known.

Chasm in Our Midst
He gingerly and affectionately laid his head down on her lap. She looked down at him. “You need to clean your ears out and your scalp looks inflamed.” He winced and sat back up, not responding with any words. She was critical in every way thinkable, even when he pretended she wasn’t. He liked to pretend like he was this perfect man that could do everything right. He liked to pretend that he was ripped from head to toe, that he always smelled amazing, that he always had a witty response, that he was athletic, stoic but sensitive, outgoing but reserved too, kind but definitely not a pushover, outdoorsy but also quick to do as many house chores as possible too. Cleaning the cat litter up from the laundry room was especially important. Although, he couldn’t do too many house chores some days because that would make her feel guilty, or like she wasn’t needed. He tried to do, and be, everything that would be just right.

WHEN THE SUN STAND STILL
In the quaint town of Willowdale, nestled between rolling hills and ancient forests, the summer solstice was once a revered occasion. The townsfolk would gather at the old oak tree, adorned with flowers and ribbons, to perform the ancient ritual of the Sun's Embrace. As the sun reached its zenith, they would join hands, sing, and dance to honor the longest day of the year. But as time passed, the ritual was forgotten, and the town became like any other. However, on the 150th anniversary of the last Sun's Embrace, a group of curious residents stumbled upon an ancient text hidden within the town's archives. The dusty manuscript described the ritual's significance and its potential to unlock the solstice's hidden power. Intrigued, the group decided to revive the Sun's Embrace, hoping to rekindle the town's connection with nature and its heritage. They spent weeks preparing, rehearsing the ancient songs and dances, and adorning the old oak tree with flowers and ribbons once more. As the summer solstice arrived, the townsfolk gathered at the old oak, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity. They joined hands, sang, and danced as the sun reached its peak. Suddenly, a strange, pulsating light enveloped the gathering, and the air was filled with an otherworldly energy. The ritual had unlocked the solstice's hidden power! The town was bathed in a warm, golden glow, and the skies turned a deep shade of blue. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of soft, ethereal music. As the days passed, the townsfolk noticed remarkable changes. The crops grew stronger and faster, the rivers ran clearer, and the forests seemed to whisper ancient secrets to those who listened. The town was transformed, and the revival of the Sun's Embrace had become a beacon of hope and magic. People from neighboring towns and cities began to visit Willowdale, drawn by the rumors of its transformation. They too, felt the solstice's power, and soon, the town became a hub of cultural and spiritual revival. The summer solstice had unlocked more than just an ancient ritual; it had awakened a sense of community, connection, and wonder. As the townsfolk looked up at the sun, now shining brighter than ever, they knew that they had tapped into something much greater than themselves – the magic of the longest day of the year.
