Summary
It was moments like that. Moments where the horse-weight against her shoulder feels soft in its pressure, where he’s quiet and incoherent, or perhaps just coherent enough to patch together his own, BoJack manner of calling her the coolest girlfriend in the world. The pink of her fur looked like it belonged in a cake icing commercial you’d see after SpongeBob, or perhaps that she should stop being so nice because that was how people like her got burgled, and by people like her he meant freaking sexy Persian cats who work in skyscrapers, who people love to burgle.

Summary
It was naive to assume every building Claw brought down was uninhabited, that all of the evacuation orders had been foolproof, and that no stray bullets during the prime minister’s speech had hit any civilians - but their blood spilled, eventually smearing against the tile into something Touichirou could almost call rose-colored. A million corpses were a statistic, and an outlandish one at that - perfect for a living supervillain, the man who stood at the top of the world, so far above the commoners that they no longer registered as human.
But one corpse?

Sometimes you need to be hurt to truly understand.
World domination is a messy, terrible undertaking, and Touichirou learns this the worst way imaginable.

Summary
His hands are numb and disused, biting as his restraints had been. The Judge herself doesn’t feel much better, the only comfort to her aching limbs being the Warden’s weight pressing into her back, soft hands snaking up her robes. The whole affair is obscenely unsexy, but it’s theirs.

Coyle's Victims get some bonding time between the prod's lashes.

Summary
So it doesn’t surprise Re3koning, in the end, that Roddy Wall spends New Year’s online. The kind of closeness that kills you of an irradiated seizure at age 26 and puts your name on international news is one that Re3koning is grateful to never feel.
——
On the ill-understood subject Re3koning_inc knows as “friendship”.

Summary
In this moment, however, if Otto can begin to understand sadness, much less hatred, in the eyes of his father and the eyes of the adults around them, he makes no show of it. There are not yet words for the concept, a helplessness that will become foreign to the twins in their filled bookshelves and old Shakespeare collections, in the pointlessness of entertaining the opinions of the half-lived masses. The uncomfortable frowns of nurses and tutors will crystalize in their young eyes not long from now.
Otto imagines they're lonely because they have no Arora, and Arora imagines they're lonely because they have no Otto.

Summary
Scott full-on laughed. A raspy bark of a sound, not hysterical, or mad. It was strange: Shapesmith hadn’t meant to be funny. But he couldn’t imagine Scott had laughed like that in a long time.
He was keeping Earth safe. And he supposed an Earth where Scott Duvall smiled was safer than one where he didn’t.
——
Shapesmith brings Powerplex food in prison.

Summary
Of all the people they killed, she was certain there were more left alive. More vulnerable. More people who couldn’t move or talk or breathe without help, the only difference between them and her being that Mark didn’t look at them like he looked at her.

Summary
“I know it’s been a long time, Oliver, and Terminus has done a dreadful number on you since- but surely you haven’t forgotten Graham?”
…
…huh?
Oliver twitches.
“He loved you so much. Sad to think I got to him before your little patron could.”
…what?
——
It's hard to share resources in the post-change world. The dead starts to twitch back to life.

Summary
Georgie had described the undead as cold, methodic, the teetering line between the End and the Stranger: something more quiet and uncanny, empty and inevitable, than the broken temple of roughhewn meat and bone that came to life in front of him. The glistening, human-shaped lump, rotten, sinewy old clothes soaked through and clinging to their newborn flesh.
When Sasha James woke up, she woke up screaming.
——
As one often found in Archival work, nothing was truly buried.

Summary
“Has she been alright?” He'd asked Melanie in a hushed aside — she held her tongue about the insolence of the Archivist asking her questions, but still sneered up at him.
“Define alright.”
He'd wanted to see her again. But the universe had never been so kind as to give him what he wanted without a string of rotten silk attached.
For the world at large, the end was a quick and merciless cacophony.
For Georgie Barker, the End sapped at her lungs, swallow by swallow.
——
The world changes, and the End collects what is its.

Summary
His arms coiled around his knees. As he muttered on, he swore the sky churned outside, faster.
“I think she would hate me. The real Sasha.” He shut his eyes, and there she was again, that faceless body. Glasses, long hair, freckles, he supposed. “I know what she looked like, now. And I don’t feel anything when I picture it.”
——
Love is a hard thing for John.

Summary
The sky grew paler outside, the haze along the horizon seeming to whiten like when food went from cooking to burning, window crawling its way to opaque. People tended to disappear when alone with Peter Lukas — so that girl from the shipping vessel's statement implied — yet as heavy boots came clanging down the hallway and a polite one-two knock hit the door, John remained where he was. Martin idly wondered if that meant he was gone already. Nothing more than set-dressing, like empty tables and chairs in a once-crowded restaurant.
——
Portraits of the months John spends asleep, as told by an amateur poet slowly losing himself.

Now, We Just Slowly Circle The Draining Fish Bowl by Bandtrees

Summary
He didn’t know what he was thinking, letting it happen: as if he’d forgotten where he was, what had driven him here in the first place. And he didn’t know what she was thinking, either. Maybe she’d let him in because she was lonely. Maybe it was just something to do with her time.
Or maybe it mattered, no matter where he’d come from. Maybe whatever she saw in him had nothing to do with the Eye. Maybe she missed moments like these, oncoming apocalypse be damned.
That thought scared him the most.
——
Georgie was always there when John asked.

Summary
They didn't chatter like they used to. The Sasha who laughed out loud at the off-looking poses of the statues, bringing dark red flushes of embarrassment to her boyfriend — who was here for the art, thank you very much — was gone. She looked almost wrong in Sasha's clothes, the colorfully-patterned scarves and sweaters with cats and ghosts on them the weather began to net, that didn't suit a voice as dull and gaze as dim as hers.
But she kissed him there all the same, in glossy, false skin, unmoving eyes, as perfect a simulacrum of the human form as ones trained in the art of it could muster.
You're doing the right thing.

The Not-Sasha learns her victim had a boyfriend.

Summary
Winter was fleeting — but the air outside was still chilly, what he could make out of the windows pallid, dull blues. It hit John with some irony that he'd taken that axe to her the day after Valentine's Day. Had he thought about that? Had there been a moment, passing the restaurants decorated with roses, where he remembered her — remembered what he had to do?
Again, the larvae squirmed.
——
John couldn't forget her if he tried.

Summary
And then, like he was picking out a can of soup for that night’s dinner, Swansea plainly asked, “y’wanna die, Capitano? I can make it quick.”
The axe did not come down. It didn’t cleave for any of Curly’s vitals, didn’t swing for the space between his eyes. Instead, it idly tapped the floor, in repetitive, rhythmic knocks.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
…what?——
Swansea takes responsibility. It’s a long twenty years for them both.

If I Could Live My Life All Over (It Wouldn't Matter Anyway) by Bandtrees
Fandoms: Mouthwashing (Video Game)
25 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Beef-jerky skin swaddled in bandages that always leaked every few hours, uneven little stubs for hands and feet, missing lips and one big sad purpled eye. Stuffin’ him full of painkillers that had, like, horror movie shit for symptoms lists. Jimmy would gripe about the noise: but even when he screamed and cried, Tulpar had never felt so quiet. All because of a stunning lack of the smiling Captain Curly.

Daisuke and Curly.

Summary
“I understand.” Sasha deadpanned. “You do what you must. Even if it is hard. That is what makes you a good Archivist.”
His shoulders relaxed — even his legs seemed to unstiffen, fingers stalling as they hovered over a paper ball crammed into the back of Tim's desk.
At such a shallow sentiment... he looked as if he had been waiting to hear it for a very, very long time.
The Not-Sasha did not dirty her hands, but she watched John with silent appraisal: a smile as flat as a stock photo, but with how fast his mind had been running lately, he needed nothing more.
——
John and Sasha like to test eachother.
