    Summary

    Puck told Emilia once, before her very first date with Subaru, that the most important things in a woman were modesty, shyness, and just a bit of submissiveness.

    As Subaru would say — failed step one.

    (Two and three, too.)

    Summary

    “every word she writes is killing her, tearing up her soul, scraping it out of her being and splattering it on the page, all guts and gore but no glory. she digs the hole and keeps digging, until she’s looking through eyes that aren’t her own, down at the grave that holds her plain dull life, wondering why she never understood that death of the author meant she’d become someone she never wanted to be, only emulate. the narrator is her, and the narrator is junko, and shirogane tsumugi is dead, buried in the ground in a tomb she made herself.”

    (at the end of this story, tsumugi shirogane was always going to die.)

    Summary

    Ai Hoshino dances and smiles and sings and says “I love you,” and she does it again and again and again and bottles the truth in her heart. She lies and lies and lies and lies again and the number of people who adore her grows and her children smile at her like she’s the sun and she keeps lying and lying and lying, because lies are love and Ai Hoshino is the best at lying there is.

     

    or;
    Akane Kurokawa is the Moon and Kana Arima is the Sun, and Aqua Hoshino’s weak, useless heart has passed its judgment, and that was that.

    or;
    Gorou Amamiya and Sarina Tendoji died a hundred lifetimes ago. Now, all that remained were Aqua Hoshino and Ruby Hoshino.

    In which there is no plot only heavenly bodies and metaphors, but somehow I still find a way to make Aqua suffer.

    Summary

    “Hey, Aqua,” she said after a strangely comfortable silence, “we really are both liars, aren’t we?”

    “I guess we are,” he said. Ruby had named him well, back when he’d sprung their story to save Kana’s. “I’m sorry you had to be.”

    This time, he was telling the truth.

    Akane took a deep breath, let it out so slowly that it didn’t even disturb the long strands of hair that had crept their way onto her nose, and spoke. “And if I asked you to take responsibility for it, what would you do?”

    Kurokawa Akane, Hoshino Aquamarine, and the shadow of Arima Kana. Post-canon.
