Short Stories in the 2023 Tagset

[donutsweeper]

A compilation post for poems and short stories, available in either written or audio form, in the tagset with links on where to find them (or more information about them) if possible.

Please comment with ones I've missed or if a different translation or version of a canon is preferred. Generally speaking, I've gone with writer's digest definition of a short story being under 30k words.
