Summary
Whenever you see an injured bird, your first thought is how vulnerable it is. How easy it would be to break it, to tear the flesh and bone and feathers, to wrench its wings from it’s body. The part of you that is still a war slave catalogs the weak points, the places to find as to tear if more easily. The beast thinks about how to use the flesh, the bones, the feathers. How to take every part of it for yourself.
You don’t listen to your first thoughts often.

Summary
Fear has dug it’s heads into the gyri of her brain, and caresses the sulci with delicate razor sharp fingers. Her thoughts fall disjointed, out of order, scattered. Primal panic overrides her higher brain functions, shuts off all unnecessary tools for survival.
She has lost her faith. And now all that’s left is the sensation of being followed. Of faintly hearing footsteps that stop whenever she stops walking, of flickering shadows and a sicking feeling in her chest. She has spent so much time under somebody else's thumb, so much time as a tool, a pawn, in somebody else's game. She though she escaped.

Summary
why does life slumber? because life slumbers. it is a tautology, a truism — it is akin to saying red is the opposite of green because green is the opposite of red. it’s recursive — they ask the dreamers, why does life slumber? they do not ask the ones who've never been in a dream, who’s whole life has been looking out into the snow. she thinks that if your life was different, you would have a different answer, and after every id-suicide, you would have a different answer.

Let it spill onto your teeth,
Canines sharp. You, pink
And devoted, cunning and
Cruel. You, the mirror of
Her. The thunder.

That matters.) -

Summary
See, Waffle House is something called a franchise. This means that it has bequeathed its lofty title onto the operation that Dante (technically) runs; a sort of guarantee of quality and consistency for any would-be costumers. It is a sort of quid pro quo; Dante gets to benefit from the franchise’s reputation, and the overarching company that runs the entire thing has Dante on ball and chain for the rest of their entire natural life.
Meanwhile, Hermann and her group are part of another company christened ‘Denny’s.’ Their specific branch of Denny’s ‘happens’ to be right across the street. Waffle House’s land extends some five meters beyond their establishment, after which Denny’s noble exterior brushes up to the property line. This particular quirk of land management ensures that they are locked in constant combat whenever any stray garbage bags blow over the line.
In which Dante runs a Waffle House, and the amount of drama and heartbreak that occurs is at the very least comparable to canon.

Summary
Vash was the strangest demon Meryl had ever met.
In her line of work, "good" demons weren't a thing, and yet Vash liked to come in and completely wreck the orderly chaos Meryl had managed to make of her life as a demon slayer. Nothing good could come of a slayer like her befriending a demon, but...
Maybe a demon friend was exactly what she needed.
