    Summary

    PET Mail, made up of Pearl, Etho, and Tango, are asymptomatic carriers of the zombie virus that has wrecked their world ever since the bombs fell. While this bars them from interacting with the uninfected outside of special circumstances, it allows them to use their powers to deliver mail across distances and locations that would be too dangerous for the uninfected to travel. Traveling, meanwhile, allows them to never stay in one place long enough for the feelings to catch up.

    Unless, of course, the mail is personal.

    Summary

    Scar has transferred to start his second year at Hermiton University of Craft and Engineering in London, ready to leave America behind. What he doesn’t expect is to recognise one of his fellow students from his flight –Grian, and his adorable cat.

    Grian is back in England after a decade in the States, settling into business classes and hiding his cat in a dorm he technically shouldn’t have. Seeing his friends again is a breath of fresh air and meeting an attractive dude on his flight that happens to be attending the same university him was certainly a bonus.

    With Scar adapting to the differences between America and England, and Grian finally feeling at home after ten years, the two grow close.

    But not everything can be a fairy tale.

    A University AU full of pining, miscommunication, and gayness

    Summary

    Staring at him feels personal, like peering in on a memory he doesn’t know he had. He should know this moment, this feeling, this man. He should recognize that deep, bone-aching pull inside himself that leaves him cemented in that stool, that nags at him that maybe, after all this time, he’s finally ended up in a specific place for a specific reason. There’s plenty of things he’s been waiting for— a sign, a reason, a why— but this?

    Bdubs licks his lips. “Do I know you?”

    A private smile. Even through the mask, Bdubs can see it. “Not yet.”

    “But I will?"

    Or; Bdubs jumps through time. Etho outlasts it.

    Summary

    To a distant observer, clocks near a black hole would appear to tick more slowly than those farther away from the black hole. Due to this effect, known as gravitational time dilation, an object falling into a black hole appears to slow as it approaches the event horizon, taking an infinite time to reach it. At the same time, all processes on this object slow down, from the viewpoint of a fixed outside observer, causing any light emitted by the object to appear redder and dimmer, an effect known as gravitational redshift. Eventually, the falling object fades away until it can no longer be seen. Typically this process happens very rapidly with an object disappearing from view within less than a second.

    - from the Wikipedia entry for Black hole, as viewed on December 14th, 2022

    Summary

    Grian cowers from him, shrinking back into the wall. It does nothing for him but make him an easier target. Bdubs plants a hand in the middle of his chest, pinning him to the mossy stone walls, and drags him upwards.

    “What are you doing?” Grian gasps, forming the words breathlessly around Bdubs’ hands at his lungs. He whimpers as the stone digs into his back, rips through his shirt, tears into his skin– “What are you-!”

    Bdubs puts his free hand on Grian’s face. For a moment, he holds it there and does nothing. Grian’s breaths puff over the palm of his hand, hot and panicked, as the blood from his broken nose drips down his arm. There exists a moment in which Bdubs considers not doing what he’s about to do.

    He pushes his fingers into Grian’s eyes and cracks his skull open on the wall.

    And then there is clarity.

    No- wait, now hold on.

    Summary

    Something wretched and desperate, something beyond saving. A creature built for survival and survival alone.

    The wood of his bow is hot in his hand. He regards the Skulk, its eyes glassy and vacant, and wonders what makes him so different from this network of dead synapses and decaying bones. This hungry thing.

    Or; Etho persists. He survives. Because if he's been good at anything so far, it's that.

    Summary

    So, Etho was gay.
    Cool.
    It really had nothing to do with Joel. Etho was his friend and his roommate and that was that.
    But who was Etho with? What was he doing when he wasn't with Joel? What kind of men did he hang out with? Did they have sex? Was Etho on top or –

    Or:

    The spirit of revolution is in the air, but Joel is too busy being confused about his sexuality.

    Summary

    Featuring Joel and Etho as the main cast, multiple travelers as well as the gravity of the guards’ situation - are they ever allowed to take breaks? What if they were asked a math question? And how did they even get themselves into this position?

    Summary

    It rains not like the fire of doomsday, nor like the water from the floods, but different. It sticks, Joel notices as he raises his hand, watching specks of ashes land on the back muscle between his thumb and index. Like fire, it burns; like water, it melts. But it lingers, it sticks where it falls—leaving traces, temporary, it drags when he tries to wipe it.

    A thumbprint, like a shooting star.

    or; Joel is a cab driver, on a break watching the aftermath of a building's collapse. Totally unrelated to the strange people he drove around, right?

    Summary

    Orphaned at a young age, Etho finds himself indebted to the Frost Kingdom as a mercenary in the face of a looming war. Growing up in a castle that is as cold as it is heartless, he finds the unexpected: solace, pain, family, and then a reason to leave it all behind.

    Summary

    It’s strange. Only now, confronted with the very thing he came down here to find, is reality enforcing itself upon Bdubs.

    This is impossible. Maybe the blackbox of Etho’s AI could be retrieved, but at a depth of 36,000 feet his netherite-fibered body would have lasted six seconds at most before his lovely face pulverized. Whatever’s left might as well be a husk of radiation. He is not outside the submersible. No one is.

    And still. A knock on the door. One-two-three. Polite and patient.

     

    (At the bottom of the ocean, Bdubs studies microbes with the help of the CONCORP android Etho. They are not alone.)

    Summary

    Reflected in the mirror is a boy who must be around her age. Average height, athlete's build, and now that Mafuyu's looking more closely, the blonde she noticed before edges orange-pink towards the ends. She blinks, and flat amber blinks back at her.

    There's writing hand-stitched into the chest pocket of her— his shirt. She traces it, mouths the reversed kanji she can read through the mirror.

    Tenma Tsukasa.

    Fortunately, other people disagree.

    Summary

    There were two kingdoms, and they didn’t like each other very much. The White Flowers thought the Black Flowers were too boring and mysterious. “Why would you want to shroud yourselves when growth happens in the light?” the White Flowers would ask.

    But see, the Black Flowers would sometimes think the same thing. Why make everything obvious, when you can solve a fun puzzle? “There’s appreciation to be had in the dark,” they would say. “You blind yourselves in the brightness.”

    ----

    “From this day forth,” the Goddess declares, “This tree shall be a symbol of your friendship.” Iridescent flowers, the likes of which neither kingdom had seen before, bloomed among the leaves. ”Your friendship shall last for as long as this tree does.”

    ----

    Under the name Torpe, Tsukasa is invited to the Flower Masquerade. There, he meets the mysterious Black Flower, Dancho.
