Summary
“Oh, gods forbid they respond positively to you doing a good thing,” Neve deadpans. She squeezes him a little again. “That’s sort of how it works, Astarion.”
She can’t even see it. Believes the best of them all so earnestly, himself included, that she can’t see how it would all fall away without her at the center. It’s enough to make a person feel like they might actually deserve it.
“And by it, you mean…?” he asks instead.
Her huffed laugh of disbelief ruffles the hair at his neck. “Friendship, you idiot,” she answers. “And the general acquisition thereof.”
Astarion cuts a sideways look at her as best he can with her still nestled so close. “And is that what we are? Friends?”
He’d meant it to tease her, and yet finds that the silence before her answer twists his stomach. Because…he doesn’t actually know, either.
“Yes, Astarion,” Neve says gently, after a moment. “I think we’re very good friends.”

Neve and Astarion, continued. She's not a victim. Not a target. Not just one night it's better to forget. But then...whatever in the world could she be?

Summary
'Was it a dream? Or the future? Or just the spell playing with my mind?'
Sunny found himself back in the police station, having seen his life flash before his eyes. Was he really back in time, or was there something deeper going on...
Not to mention he didn't remember there being a category 3 gate outbreak when he first met Master Jet. And the suspiciously hazy memory he had of the spell whispering him killing a corrupted titan.
Either way, he now has to decide what path he will choose, considering the knowledge of this distant dream.

Summary
A mishap in the Tomb of Aerial leads to Sunny waking up back at the start of his first nightmare. Burdened with knowledge of what is to come and many lifetimes of fighting and death, Sunny faces a new kind challenge. “Actually I already did something like this on Wind Flower, and this time there aren't Great beasts everywhere. Just corrupt tyrants, murderous legacys, and an invasion in Antarctica to worry about. How have I not died already? Wait, I have. Many times. Damnation.”
