Author commentary

Veronica: Mike is unaware it was Daisy who went around blabbing to everyone.. Paulo had self-control! He would have rather nobody known! Especially not airheaded blabbermouth James!

Confronting Alejandro

April 14, 2025

In “All or Nothing”, the events of young Augustus and Melanie (most memorably told in chapter 86, Trapped go rather differently… with quite a bit more blood.

Character sheets for the comic

It’s a member-only comic with a content warning for violence! Melanie wants to find a way out, but will she? Can she?

A sample from All or Nothing

If you’d like the satisfying, chilling answer — and aren’t afraid of bittersweet endings — it’s available right now in the comic archive available only to annual Bittersweet Club International members. (It’s $29!)

This is the second of five member-only comics we’re posting all year long! It’s a very good time to be a member!

We’re excited to continue to update the members library, which we should remind you has nearly 700 pages of exclusive comics! Read an enormous book’s worth of side stories and AUs based on critical points in the old story, like “Pen Pals” (what if Lucy and Sandy became friends!), “Another Choice” (what if Mike said yes to LUCY?), “Another Rescue” (what if Paulo fell off the bridge during summer vacation?) and dozens more, from the famous “Fork in the Road” to the hidden gems! It’s all instantly accessible for $29 a year!

Join the Club and read the comics today!

Whether you’ve seen the archive or not, $29 will get you an enormous amount of exclusive side story comics in the months to come!
