Abstract: We study the geometry of Gorenstein curve singularities of genus two, and of their stable limits. These singularities come in two families, corresponding to either Weierstrass or conjugate points on a semistable tail. For every $1leqm<n$, a stability condition - using one of the markings as a reference point, and therefore not $mathfrak{S}_n$-symmetric - defines proper Deligne-Mumford stacks $overline{mathcalM}_{2,n}^{(m)}$ containing the locus of smooth curves as a dense open substack.
