Great crop of stories, I had fun alright!
#4 has pinged my Peterdar. It has been out of whack of late, so take it as you will. Astraeus is something to do with stars, and presumably he's then a falling star when he got tossed out the window. The Lady? Well she greets both Sun and Moon, and looks best at Dawn. Maybe Gaia?
#2 reads like our Oranges and Blues writer from a few rounds back. I do not, at present, remember who that was. But it'll come to me. A few sentences flow overly long, to me, but it does kinda fit the characters - I think people would talk this way, but it could be easier to read.
#1 reads the most... how can I say. Proper. Like what an actual author taking this seriously would do. Great if classic story. Tracy is a horrible name, but that's all I can critique. I think this could be coz1.
#3 No strong guesses. Quite deep, in its way, though I somewhat got... well, thrown out, by the strangeness of the wording. It fits the story, sure, because it is strange. Maybe GangsterSynod?
#5 makes me vaguely think Butterflycomposer. But not sure why. I find it a bit weird, but it's an obvious tribute to Frankenstein. Technically good, but kinda dumps all over the idea of adventure - and sure, Densley said to do so, but it... well. I miss something.
#6 pure guesswork, let's call it for Swuul. I think he'd like this kind of thing, and might do it as a vaguely Peter-sounding piece. The whole thing has a bit of a Hitchikers guide kind of feel too, and if Wyvern had been in the list of authors I might've pinged him... which seems an even more Swuulish thing to do.
As to the story: I think this one does kind of the same as #5, but makes it work with that final note - and with sheer brevity. It took some 4 lines from 'nope no adventure' to 'and here's why', which makes it work for me.
