Summary
After living a stifling life running the family packaging factory, Stede Bonnet left his wife and kids to open a self-care product shop. Since this wasn't the 1700s, his wife served him with divorce papers and got half the family business. He wasn't sure why she wanted it given neither of them were particularly into pre-fab packaging. She moved off to Bridge City and he moved into a nice little craftsman house behind a strip mall. That he owned. Both of the house and the mall. Look, he was loaded. He inherited loads of money, land in the town of Bonnetville, plus a family history of dying of heart attacks before age 60. All Stede wanted was to live a little before he died.

Summary
The town of Bonnetville (formerly Pascua de Flores) was a dying town on the Bountiful Coast in the lovely state of Florisas in these modern United States. Oh, there was talk of high speed internet reviving things, but everyone knew that all the action took place in Bridge City. These are the stories of the Bountiful Coast (plus some wandering Kraken Inc folks).

Summary
The City is a place where all mythologies and folklore mingle and mix. It is the mother of Cities. The rainbow serpent bridge may turn into a serpent again during rush hour commute (and isn't *that* annoying). While the red brick road spirals out through parts of itself that the City has discarded. The City sprawls across space. It condenses on an island. It skyscrapers and what happens in the clouds stays there. Although, sometimes it may rain god infants. Eros and Inanna give a presentation on polyamory at their local chapter of City Love gods (the Power point was amazing!). Gilgamesh and his dead friend Enkidu run a charity to gather up stray Sumerian zombies. While Odin and Set strike a deal. Monster fog. Monstrous traffic. But if you go in the park, don't eat the Gingerbread House. It's a landmark.

Summary
Lois hopes that Clark is well.
***
It was common sense, by the human standard at least, that there is darkness before there is light. However, that knowledge had never made early mornings more bearable for Lois. As such expecting the expected had never made a miserable experience less miserable. She figured that’s how she’d describe dying to be like.- Language:

I'm not familiar with this specific variation on the canon. But I've seen the video game at SDCC, I know how that story starts so...very interesting take.
