Canas's cheer in the first one is both tragic (I feel for him, at least) and creepy, though I think that creep impression comes more from his apparent longing to join his brothers. The apples and cinnamon were great details, and I especially liked "He had to take this task over from their mother, because she doesn't properly know how to be gentle" for some reason. It fits.
The second one was hilarious, but "It liked fish, paper, and throwing things" hit me especially hard. I guess it was a perfect cap to a ridiculous spell? XD
The Sayaka fic has a perfect ring to it; I like the way you wove her human desires and concerns into her witch persona, and especially "the spear she recognizes. It is something that has hurt her before." It makes perfect sense that, if she can remember anything after transformation, it'll be the things that hurt her. This one is my favorite.
