The three wanna-be baddies are well established as lovable (albeit misguided) scamps right from the beginning who aren't reallly cut out for being being people. Really fun story to read, it twists the prompt in a interesting way, and I love the idea of a group of ne'er-do-wells being so incompetent at being evil that they just become good.

Catechism of the WraithsGreat inversion of the theme, and I really love the story of three 'outcasts' banding together to do 'evil' against the town they think misjudged them only for their attempts to get payback actually spread some good will. Something these grimdark or fantastic worlds could do with from time to time.

Benevolentia RegulaeI really liked how the theme was flipped on its head. As someone who likes to rebel a bit against prompts, I'm definitely taking notes on the use of its phrasing! A fun short story that leaves room for further antics in a follow-up.

Pondering on SoftscalesI absolutely love this story! From the humor throughout to the subversion of the theme, it was creative and your writing style enhanced it further.
