    Summary

    Despairing as yet another timeline goes horribly wrong, Homura wanders into Karakura. There she discovers that while the spiritually-aware people of Karakura were distracted by Ichigo Kurosaki and Xcution, Kyubey had managed to contract the Kurosaki sisters as magical girls. Drawing the attention of the shinigami could be just the advantage Homura needs.

    Summary

    Beyond utopia, there is a place. It's a sheltered, carefully-hidden reality where things are faintly familiar, but still ever-new. It can be a place of healing just as much as it can be a place of hurt, but still it is held close to the Goddess' chest, always in her heart.

    It is a place of love, and it is a place of freedom.

    In the end, all it ever needed to be is a snippet of life and time guarded within a reality that Homura and Madoka create long after their colors have returned to them. This time, it is more than just the two of them.

    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.
