    Summary

    "It's not… about control," He says haltingly. Or rather, it's not the magic he fears losing control of, but rather everything else. It's sort of like organising the data bank. Every entry has a fixed category, definite links. If data is uncategorised, if no lines are drawn, the whole thing would bleed into a chaotic mess. Likewise, the only way Dan Heng can hope to keep his identity intact is by distancing himself from irrelevant data. The past that isn't his stays shut in a box on the bottom shelf, and if someone else moves it into view, Dan Heng will put it back where it belongs. "Not… the kind of control you're thinking about, anyway."

    or: 4 times Dan Heng feels conflicted about using his(?) cloudhymn magic, and 1 time he realises he doesn't care anymore

    Summary

    Wolfwood growled, much too close. “Penny for yer thoughts, Stampede. Yer head’s runnin’ a mile a minute, enlighten me on what yer thinkin’ for once. Otherwise I might start believin’ you finally stopped givin’ a shit.”

    Vash whirled around, meeting the shades firmly back over Wolfwood’s nose, and he spat with venom: “You’re a 𝘤𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥."

    -

    Vash has spent a hundred and fifty years keeping a tight leash on his monstrously ugly anger. Wolfwood makes it his personal mission to draw it out.

    Summary

    Today, as always, the being known as 130666 would hear the binding signaling the end of work hours and return to its room.

    Today, as always, the company’s tasteless, droning instructional video would begin to play.

    And today, as always, Kim Soleum would fail to hear his good friend’s voice.
