Events at Fort Plenitude by Cat Rambo (ISFDB, Wikipedia), a co-editor of Fantasy Magazine and World Fantasy Award-nominee for said editing work, a supernatural fantasy short in her Tales of Tabat series, originally published in Weird Tales Magazine in 2008.

In this short story, an exiled soldier tries to wait out a winter in a fort beleaguered by fox-spirits and winter demons.

Elsewhere, Within, Elsewhen, 4th in her Farther Than Tomorrow series, a science fiction short originally published in Fairwood Press' Beyond the Sun anthology in 2013.

On a distant planet, David struggles to overcome his husband's betrayal, only to find an unlikely sympathizer in the form of one of the planet's native inhabitants. But are its intentions truly benign?

Whom the Gods Love by Sarah A. Hoyt (ISFDB, Wikipedia), a science fiction novelette originally published in Baen's Transhuman anthology in 2008.

When a "god" arrives amid a group of "primitives" it's a big event. It's a bigger event when the god is really a member of a more advanced human civilization who was dropped in this forsaken place to prevent his finding how others have been exploiting the "primitives." But Alessandro Palermo survives and, with the help of a local woman, just might turn the tables on his would be assassins.

Awake in the Night by Nebula Award-finalist John C. Wright (ISFDB, Wikipedia), who's lately become known in fandom circles for having… interesting views. In any case, his William Hope Hodgson-inspired science fiction/dark fantasy hybrid novella was originally published in Wildside Press' Eternal Love anthology in 2003 and was reprinted in the 21th Annual Year's Best Science Fiction collection edited by Gardner Dozois.

(there is literally no portion of the actual blurb which tells you what the plot of this particular story is actually about and does not in some way plug the author and other of his works)
