This collection is more serious and less overtly fandom-y than Unreal Alchemy, but arguably still very meta (especially if you consider Viola, Jules and Ferd as a response to the trio in Harry Potter). I sat down intending to read just one of these stories -- and ended up reading all of them in one gulp.

“Halloween Is Not A Verb”: Holly invites various people to her mums’ place for Halloween; Hebe is less enthusiastic.

“Solstice on the Rocks”: This is a short story, much shorter than the other two, about graduation.

“Kissing Basilisks”: This begins on New Year’s Day. It’s compelling, and picks up the non-band-related narrative threads from “Fake Geek Girl”.

From the chapter 'Hebe and Viola Recommend You Nominate a Designated Spellcaster Before Everyone Starts Drinking' in “Halloween Is Not A Verb”:

“Why do you think Ferd is breaking up with you, and when can I murder him?”
“Holly, we’ve been through this, you’re not allowed to murder people for breaking up with me,” said Hebe. She attempted a joke: “Hey, some of our best friends have broken up with me.”
“I will kill everyone at this party if I have to,” her sister promised with disturbing intensity.
