  1. Summary

    A collection of snapshots from life within a video game, with only a disembodied voice as a companion.

    It's more interesting than one would think.

    or, assorted shenanigans and loosely-connected one-shots starring these two idiots (affectionate) :)

    Summary

    The ball was rolling up the hill. It had been since Norman Takamori got brain slugged. …But not for him. After ramming Gust Weatherall’s idiot ship to scrap though, the crew had allowed Norman that chance too (as a copilot without a vote, to be clear). And it sure as hell wasn’t what he’d ever imagined he’d want, or what he expected his life to be at this point, but dammit, he’d claw his way up that stupid hill too.

    Summary

    I don't think you appreciate how far you've come, Skip says, and Norman tenses for a moment. Skip feels it and they sigh. You're a good man, Norman. You're doing what most people are too scared to.

    "And what's that?" Norm asks, out loud to the quiet room.

    Change, Skip says simply, but it feels like a revelation.

    "Change," Norm repeats, testing it out on his tongue. He likes the sound of that.

    Summary

    It is becoming easier, almost, to adjust to the new way of life. He has switched to using his left hand to cast the spell, and the effects are creeping further and further up his left arm with each passing day, even if they vanish by the next morning.

    But that is an understandable price to pay. A reasonable price, if it keeps everyone else safe. It doesn’t matter, really, if he has started to find more and more lacerations from stray waves of shadow each morning as he lies in his untouched bed. It doesn’t matter that the pupils of his eyes, when he gazes into the reflective glass of the captain’s desk, are starting to disappear entirely. Nor that he will sometimes start at the faint feeling of fingers threading around his neck, tracing the line of his cheek.

    “Praesidio. Praesidio, fortier defendebant, defendebant splendide...”

    The Rocks family is safe. Any price is worth that.
