Summary
“About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”
“Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”
“Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”
“Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.

Summary
Taylor's power has severe negative effects on her mental state. Lisa doesn't know how to help her. She tries, at least.
Rachel doesn't know how to help her either, but maybe that's okay. Maybe she doesn't need to be helped.
Maybe she just needs to be understood.

Summary
[Post-anime. Set in the world of Bavitz's Fargo, but reading it is not necessary.]
In London, the exceedingly strong Magical Girls have become feral and vicious, with more than enough Wraiths to hunt for a comfortable living and territorial violence a pastime, free from the Incubator's leash. When kind-hearted May, Kyubey's first London contractee in over a year, begins to discover what being a Magical Girl truly entails, her life becomes a battle to stay in her home city. She struggles to face the realities of what she will have to do, and who she will have to become, to establish herself as a London Magical Girl.

Summary
For the Incubators, a diagnosis of "mental illness" is as simple as having a personal interest outside producing negentropy – for example, in wordplay. Kyubey, the assigned Incubator for Mitakihara City's magical girls in their fight against wraiths, is diagnosed with an unnecessary emotion after making an unprompted joke, and scheduled for execution and replacement. It accepts gracefully, knowing its death serves the purpose of fighting entropy... right up until it can't.
In for a penny, in for breaking and rewriting your identity, as they say.

Summary
Chicago's hundred Magical Girls, united under a theocratic Empress, plan to expand their territory. Except Laila, Chicago's bookkeeper. Cushy job, couldn't care less about conquest—until she's assigned to Chicago's invasion of St. Louis. Yeah, maybe this "Empire" thing's not so hot. Maybe it's time to get out. But the bigger an empire gets, the harder it is to escape...
