    Summary

    incessantly, on and on, without pause. waking, disintegrating, over and over, endlessly. he was weary, now. the cycle of karma had branded itself into his skin, blazing cold, frigid fire. he was like a spider caught in its own web, like a snake biting its own tail, helpless to be devoured by himself.

    everything left of him, eroded away, the ocean of time carving its way through his cliffside.

    he, only once, lived guided by his own pleasure and displeasure. after that, the wheel of fate, the rope of destiny, tightened around his neck, far more a cage or prison than the boy with blossom hair ever had been.

    vexation, humiliation, exhaustion, and finally nothing at all– a blank slate, cleansed of evil.

    …the buddha and king enma both must be laughing at him.

    Summary

    Now that she's older she has a new favorite place. Her knees on either side of his thighs, her hands resting on his shoulders, looking at him eye to eye.

    "What are you doing?" Silco asks. "I don't need my injection yet."

    Summary

    Her heart seized in her chest as the gun went off a moment later. A shriek tore from her throat.

    “JOHN!” she screamed. Ava was hardly aware of the two other men in the room as she lurched forward. Her body was flickering, pain shooting through her limbs as her mind disconnected from her abilities. All she knew was she needed to move.

    ***

    Or: The Thunderbolts* (plus Sam Wilson) are left reeling after John Walker's near-death, and the circumstances surrounding it, on a mission.

    Summary

    John isn't quite sure of his role in the new and fragile team he's ended up with after getting used to being assigned one all these years as a soldier and a shadow operative.

    Everyone else seems to fall into some designation or other—leader, strategist, moral compass, father figure, muscle—all of them pieces falling in a puzzle that John can't seem to fill because the others fit better, and the thought slowly pushes him into a frustrated despair.

    John spirals, becoming one with the sofa. He doesn't know that something else is wrong with him. Something darker and more sinister.

    --

    John wakes up in a cold sweat, drawing deep, labored breaths, feeling like his chest is about to cave in.

    His bloodshot eyes focus, and with it comes the chilling realization.

    A sinister shape, pitch black, is straddling him, a figure so utterly devoid of light that it's silhouetted by the already dark background that is his room.

    It only takes a second for him to catch on. He's seen this figure before, hovering above New York the day Bob transformed into Sentry.

    "You show such willfulness, John Walker, clinging to your own darkness for so long."
