    Summary

    Albert Einstein once said “Insanity is the act of doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.”

    You. Are not. Insane.

    ———

    Fun fact! The Angel’s love is free and it’s coming for you!

    Summary

    "You can leave me alone if you wish," Till says, bitter.

    "I won't," says Ivan, utterly neutral and utterly incomprehensible.

    Ivan asks two questions. Till hates him, hates him, hates him.

    Summary

    Till lets in heavy gulpfuls of air, like he’s struggling to breathe, his palms wrapped over his throat. Ivan feels something stir, and he hates the implication. He doesn’t want to think about it. But maybe that’s why he was cursed to roam here. Maybe he was forced to.

    Ah.

    Maybe Till was forced to.

    There is a presence looming around Till. Ivan doesn't know what to make of it. It doesn't matter.

    Summary

    “You should be more careful next time,” Till mutters, beginning to get into the flow of things. He does look experienced, if his concentration is anything to go by. His intense focus on the treatment of Ivan’s wound allows him to stare at Till’s face without shame.

    “Don’t need to,” Ivan replies. “I have someone to treat me if this happens again, don’t I?”

    ivan gets hurt, and he sees a side of till that he never has before.

    Summary

    Even the moments in which Till walked up to him and pushed his face into Ivan’s chest until his collar stopped flashing red or until Ivan took it off entirely—even those moments overflowed the small container that was inside his ribs. Their whole relationship was based on the laws of action and reaction. If Ivan had not performed an action of equal value, then receiving such a reaction seemed improbable.

    A Till who came to him of his own will was a Till Ivan could not stand at all.

    (Or: When it comes to Till, all of Ivan's survival and negotiation skills are somewhat rendered useless)

    Summary

    At eight years of age, Ivan had bet that Till couldn’t spin around thirty times without stopping. Naturally, Till had set out to prove him wrong. On his twenty-second spin, he had collapsed onto the ground, sweat pooling under his arms, lightheaded.

    Grief, he realizes, is the same. He keeps rotating on a single axis, watching the world pass by around him, but his feet remain rooted to the same spot. The condensation on the shower wall that looks like raindrops, blueprints circled in red marker, the jiggly bread pudding served at dinner, the kisses shared between rebels his age at the bar, and even the stars twinkling through the haze of clouds. No matter where he goes, all the distance travelled only leads him back here again.

    Till supposes not all of them make it to twenty-three. Not him. Not Ivan.

    (Or: A year and a half after the final round of Alien Stage, Till learns how to grow anemones at the rebel base. Remembering Ivan happens somewhere in between)

    Summary

    Staring up at the adult before him, he thinks he can understand now, why the segyein call them replicas. Next to Luka, he is nothing but a shadow of the real deal, little more than a glimmer of light in the brilliance of a burning sun.

    "Hello," he says, figuring he ought to say something. He tries to sound confident, but his voice comes out as little more than a quiet mumble, "I'm Prince."

    He peers up at the adult curiously.

    "Are you Luka?" He asks, "You're very pretty."

    The adult doesn't move, nor does he respond, staring down at him as though he were something utterly horrifying.

    Summary

    Then Ivan grabs his arm, and Till is whirled around, forced to look him in the eye. Blazing, blazing, always in motion, always looking—for what? For him?

    “You’ve done this before,” Ivan says firmly. “You keep running.”

    Till’s breath hitches. “I know that,” he says, and he sounds resigned, even to himself, like he’s surrendering. “But you keep going after me. And that is just as worse.”

    till knows, until he doesn't.

    Summary

    Mizi fails to amend for her mistakes.

    Mizi had tried for words, then for a smile. Neither came. All she could see, feel, was the onslaught of tears on Sua’s face, her soft trembling sobs, the look in her eyes which bore into Mizi an oath: of the two of them, she couldn’t be the first to leave.

    It is greed disguised as love. Maybe they’re the same thing.

    Summary

    They’re only a few years out from graduation, now, a reality that threatens to teeter the axis of Sua’s world as time lurches closer and closer to inevitability. She’ll spend countless days with Mother until then, even more before auditions for Alien Stage, entertaining the likes of her and her friends. Mother is careful not to let too many bruises bloom on her skin, ever discerning about who she allows access to her valuable possessions.

    Time apart from Mizi only reminds her of this, where the ache that settles in her bones left by her absence is no different from when Mother pinches at her skin, inspecting her for imperfections and damages that may have cropped up while she’d been under the supervision of Anakt or otherwise.

    So she sequesters herself beneath one of the many trees, book always in hand.

    Sua, first kisses, shame, and freedom.

    Summary

    This is what he gets:

    Till’s loud, scratchy voice, raised even louder to scream at him, the sharp pull of grubby fingers in his hair, alien grass and red flowers staining the pristine white of his Anakt Garden uniform. The edge of a sob in Till’s tone, and a heavy, choking feeling Ivan is slowly identifying in himself as excitement. He doesn’t mind making Till cry. He looks good like that, red-faced, frustrated. If Mizi so much as glances at him, Till flushes down to his neck, but Ivan’s options are more limited. It’s a shame, really. The red compliments the green of his eyes. He just wishes he could see them directed at him more often.

    But, no matter. This was the hand he was dealt. He'll have to make the most of it.

    Summary

    Self-checkout associate Till’s slow-paced life is fucked to the high heavens when a new customer starts frequenting his store.

    Till can’t take it anymore.

    Axe Murderer is scanning a circular saw into his cart. That’s quite frankly the normal part.

    He’s dressed up business formal today: button-up, slacks, shiny Oxfords, briefcase. Not too normal to be picking up such a tool, but still enough, right?

    No.

    There’s blood all over the front of his shirt. Blobs of bright crimson against pristine white fabric.

    Summary

    “You’ll break me,” Mizi says. “I’ll break you. We break each other and kiss away the tears that form because the ache is all we know.”

     

    “But why?” Sua looks to her. The world around them creeps towards dawn and the flowers sway gently, beautiful for all eternity. “Why must we?”

     

    Mizi circles MALACHITE SUNBIRD with her finger and murmurs, “You’ll leave me, Sua. You always will. That’s just how we are.”

     

    The protest in her throat dies like the faint embers of used-up coal and Sua reels in her bed, head throbbing. Her phone blares and lights up when she smacks it. 37 HOURS LEFT.

     



    Or, Mizi and Sua only have 48 hours and 32 minutes left to live.

    Summary

    As Till closes his eyes, the oncoming darkness almost feels comforting. This way, he can only sense Ivan’s presence by touch. The soft pressure of fingertips. The occasional drag of skin against skin. A slow exhale against his cheeks. Like this, Ivan feels much gentler than he is in real life. It’s different from the moments they sit side-by-side after their scuffles. This quietness doesn’t have to come at the cost of violence.

    (Or: Like clockwork, Ivan and Till find themselves in the same position over and over. Till gets hurt, and Ivan is somehow there to take care of him).

    Summary

    If Ivan cannot believe in Till the way people once believed in gods, then his faith must be similar to a dog’s. Like a lowly creature with nowhere else to go, he believes in Till’s capacity to be falteringly human.

    Till, he imagines saying. I never really told you about the flowers, did I?

    (Or: On the last day of classes, Ivan writes thirteen drafts of his graduation note to Till. Each is a little more dishonest than the one before)
