Summary
What N had done to him that day in Li Garte Prison had buried itself deep within Noah's very self. It was a burden too monstrous, too heavy to bear on his own.
It's a good thing he doesn't have to.
A follow up to Mutual Destruction. Polyboros, with more relationship tags to follow.

Summary
“What made you all decide you wanted to do this with me?”
-“It’s…our appreciation, I guess you could call it. For all you do for the team.”
-“Y’don’t give yourself enough breaks. I should know, I get special access to your mind!”
-“I mean, we already gave Isurd a spa day, and we saw how much you enjoyed that, even if you never said it. Seems only fair that you get something nice for yourself, yeah?”

The tenderness with Noah, the playfulness with Eunie, and the absolute filth with Lanz. It's what Taion deserves.

Summary
Machina could now live among the life of Bionis without issue. Well, almost without issue. Things changed when Machina started falling in love with Homs and Entia; as well as the reverse happening. The budding romances weren’t the issue, of course. The issue…
The issue came with children. Not all of them wanted children, and so for them they could simply go on. But the ones who wanted children… Well, there currently wasn’t a way to avoid the two largest issues at once.
If the child were to live a normal lifespan of a Machina, they would never remember their non-Machina parent. Likely still an infant or toddler when they passed. Only having pictures and stories to remember them by.
If they shortened the lifespan, the Machina parent would have to bury their child. And no parent who truly loved their child should ever have to bury their own child. The Machina had buried enough, as is.
So what was there to do? Linada was poring over all the research she could to try and figure it out.

Summary
“You’ve said that, said at the end the real him shone through,” Fiora watches the way Shulk shifts, and grabs his hand, giving in a squeeze. She knows what her friend must be thinking, and she wants to support him however she can. “...Vanea, what exactly led him to what he was before that? To what he became?”
Vanea pauses for a moment. “Do you truly wish to know?”
Shulk nods.
“And you, Fiora?”
“Yes,” Fiora admits. “I want to know more about him. I may have Meyneth’s memories, but… I don’t know how he fell into that despair. I want… I want to understand.”
Vanea nods this time. “I will give you one more chance to say no, Shulk. Given what led to it… it may be hard for you to hear.”
“If it’s about Arglas… about Zanza…” Fiora squeezes his hand again as he trails off. “I want to know. No, I should know. I should know who came before me, and honor his memory, however I can. Arglas lost himself to Zanza, I could’ve lost myself if I wasn’t careful…”
“Shulk,” Fiora frowns, “don’t force yourself.”
“I want to know.” He concludes, looking at Vanea. “Please, tell me.”
