Along with the three main novels within the Finding Home series, Lily Morton wrote several accompanying short stories and bonus scenes that happen after as well as during their respective novels. All of these works have been published into a singular text titled "Short Stack." Lily calls it the "What happens after the happy ending?" stories.
Each couple gets their own set of stories. Oz and Silas from "Oz," Milo and Niall from "Milo," and Gideon and Eli from "Gideon." In total, there are 8 additional stories in the Finding Home series alone (the Mixed Messages series has the same short stories/bonus scenes content in "Short Stack").
I think this is a brilllllllllliant idea (said both obnoxiously and with a British accent). I love deleted scenes and bonus-after-the-fact/written-just-for-fun/fans scenes, but sometimes I'd hard to keep track of where they are (BookFunnel, ProlificWorks, etc) or how to download them (if they're even available to download anymore). This was suuuuuper (again, please read as both obnoxiously and with a British accent) convenient and suuuuuper amazing.
My favorite: “Ten Minutes Peace”
My least favorite (but not hated): "Messages" (it was just a bit repetitive)
Favorite couple: Oz and Silas (but Gideon and Eli were a close second)
They were a mix of bitter (a few of the deleted/bonus scenes) and happy (well, all of the parts after the happily ever after). And again, I really appreciate not having to slip back and forth between different tabs on my phone and trying to figure out on which website which author uploaded which story.
