Subterranean Online, which stopped publishing this year, alas.
The Scrivener, Eleanor Arnason. Definite callback here to "The Grammarian's Five Daughters", but that seems like a fine thing to revisit.
Hayfever, Frances Hardinge. About the team that makes the final meal for condemned fantasy villains.
The Days of the War, as Red as Blood, as Dark as Bile, Aliette de Bodard. This didn't entirely work for me but she's a hella powerful writer even so.
The Last Log of the Lachrimosa, Alastair Reynolds. Didn't love where this went, but some quality space-adventure-horror in getting there. Novelette.
Grand Jete (The Great Leap), Rachel Swirsky. Novella. An amazing, powerful story about personality copying. Warning for child death. I will almost certainly nominate this for novellas since a) IT'S A NOVELLA and b) it's really good. (Okay, I have come across a few other novellas here and there in my reading, but none I've particularly liked.)
West to East, Jay Lake. I'm not sure this would have grabbed me so much under other circumstances, but as one of Jay Lake's final stories I thought it was really poignant and neat.
