We've been waiting for your niche gossip all season, and you delivered! Five stories of clubs, communities, and small towns, just for you.

Content warning: We always say that no animals are harmed in our stories, but Alex was tired when she picked these and didn't realize that there are actually two harmed animals in these stories -- one dog who dies (off-screen) and one cat who dies. Please forgive, we will learn from our mistakes. We love animals!
