    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    When Mel Medarda realizes that she's completely ignored Viktor's potential as a scientist, as an academic, she quickly seeks to remedy that. He may not be Jayce Talis, but he has his own brain, and he seems to be far more useful than most think. She's a practical woman, after all- it would be useful to have another genius on her side.

    And when she realizes Viktor is also in love with Jayce Talis, and Jayce loves them both? She's still practical, after all-- she sees an opportunity.

    (Or, Mel and Viktor are more similar than one might think. That applies to who they love, but it applies to how they love too.)

    Summary

    Following directly after the events in the game, Kim, Harry, and Jean work out their feelings. A little sprinkle of Trant feelings in there too.

    Kim isn't entirely sure what Harry and Jean's relationship was like before Martinaise. Harry certainly isn't any better off in that regard. And Jean can't really settle on what things are going to be like from now on. Perhaps, with a bit of time, they can all work it out.

    Summary

    Hope is the most fragile thing you have ever had to be responsible for.

    It makes its home inside your chest, on a precipice that hangs above a dense tangle of gnarly thorns and deadly spikes. It sits in the pockets of empty space between dark clouds of poison gas, in the quiet moments between anguished screams.

    Sometimes, hope takes the form of a sure hand on your shoulder. Sometimes it flashes exactly the same way sunlight glints off a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Sometimes it smiles back at you, warm and genuine and breathtaking. Sometimes it glows aerostatic orange.

    Summary

    PROPHETIC ESPLANADE – It is not yet the dead of night, but it is dark, dark enough that the few street lights kept on by the Union this far out (for safety reasons, of course, for all the good that it does) are the only thing keeping the endless black at bay. That, and the single flashlight between the two of you: the RCM's finest, ready for anything. The full force of the People's Militia poking around the spindly legs of an abandoned boardwalk. With one single flashlight.
