This is a double round-up post! In the throes of the end of term, we didn't manage to post the usual stories list after the Caprice and Chance challenge ended. So this time, we're going to celebrate two months of challenge contributions in one post. The links go to the respective Table of Contents, where you can view more information about the story. If you enjoy an author's work, please consider dropping them a comment to let them know!
