psocopteraI think this is actually the last one of these. Nobody reads Giganotosaurus (well, nobody at Locus and nobody who votes for the Hugos) but I'm kind of fond of them. Even if they've stopped putting word counts/length categories on their stories. (They only publish longer-than-short-stories, so I'm just assuming none of these are secretly novellas.)
To Us May Grace Be Given, L.S. Johnson. Supernatural Western, which is normally a genre I don't like, but the main character and situation here worked for me. NOVELETTE.
Hungry Demigods, Andrea Tang. A witch helps a guy with a curse. Sweet, I liked the main character a lot. NOVELETTE.
Hold Me Fast, Alter S. Reiss. I didn't get what this was at first, and it was fun to catch on, but I don't know that that makes much of a rec, so I'll tell you: it's a Tam Lin retelling with sci-fi diving and time travel and it's really good. NOVELETTE
And then this is a) a Charlie Jane Anders story that b) was on the Locus list, and c) is on the internet, so hey. Big warning on this one for transphobic medical violence against trans people - this is a terrifying story, but powerful. Don't Press Charges and I Won't Sue, Charlie Jane Anders, in Boston Review.
