    Summary

    Outside, the world burns. A thousand suns rise and set. People become visitors, and visitors become people.

    Inside, a man sits, living the same handful of days over and over again. He wonders how many times he'll have to die before he stays that way.

    Or,

    The protagonist gets a second chance. And another, and another, and…

    Summary

    You don't like talking to people. You don't like how they look at you like you did something wrong by just existing. The man in your closet is different. He doesn't think what you say is odd, because he doesn't know what you say. You don't know what he says either. It's perfect. especially when you can't handle the pressures of the end of the world.

    Summary

    Hypnos has his golden eyes riveted on the fishing lure, but he's staring right past it. The pole is lax in his hands.

    Zagreus knows, from centuries spent around Hypnos to varying degrees, that the guy sometimes just gets like that. A little spacey, a little airy, a little impermanent and intangible like a- well, like a dream. Something wispy and immaterial, somehow physically present and yet not here at all.

    The problem is, he's been doing it a lot more lately.

    Summary

    Sebastian Vael is a pious man. It's what he tells himself when he sits awake at night wondering how in the world he's ended up here in the first place. But hope, as they say, lingers in unlikely places; his appears to comes in the form of a mouthy mage with far more audacity than sense.

    Summary

    Orsino has survived the fight in the Gallows. Now he must aid his people in escaping the wrecked city, with Hawke's help, while Hawke must decide what to do with her life going in pieces. Their two paths are inextricably joined.

    *
    « The Commander kept heaping burdens upon burdens on my back; it is a miracle that I didn’t snap under the weight. She hoped I would, certainly. They all hoped I would. We all have only so much strength to keep going — the sudden and brave battle is easier to win or lose than the long, wearing stalemate. And that is what my life has been, from the moment I stepped into the First Enchanter role. An impasse. But I cannot set it aside, neither the slow losing fight nor the burden. Rare is the person who could bear to be so untethered, even after all is said and done. »

    Summary

    So the Tom thing doesn’t make him feel guilty or anxious in the ways that it probably should. But sometimes he thinks about what would happen if he told his mom, and that’s the stuff that really freaks him out. Because he knows what she would say, and it would hurt worse than anything else.

    "Just like your father," she'd say, and she'd be right.

    Summary

    fluctuat nec mergitur.
    it is tossed by the waves but does not founder.

    Gregory Hirsch, now Roy, has not seen Tom Wambsgans in over a year. They have not spoken nor texted a single word to each other, and all he knows is that his superior is somewhere around the globe, working hard to make Matsson happy. He knew, obviously, that he would come back someday, he just hadn't expected it to happen at the RECNY.

    And he hadn't expected him to accidentally overdose, hadn't expected all the unhealed scars all over his body, the limp when he walked, the hollow cheeks or the worryingly dark eyebags.

    And Tom? Well, personally, he's not sure what he expected.

    Probably not to see Gregory laugh and kiss a man across the room.

    Summary

    In this extraordinarily tardy “Summer For Sickos” entry, various Roys et al. experience the slow fade of Logan Roy’s pernicious influence over their personal lives in the summer following his death.

    Logan would probably rotate 360 full degrees in his grave if he could see how soft everybody’s metaphorical dicks are going in this fic.

    Various reprehensible characters will commit extremely minor acts of redemption. Some will fall in love.

    Summary

    For a woman who has cultivated a career upon avoiding mess, Gerri Kellman spends a great deal of time micromanaging the bodily fluids of Logan’s progeny. Vomit, jizz, blood. Gerri wonders idly whether Connor will be at her door next week to complete the quartet.
    “Tom’s dead,” Shiv says.
    “Alright.”
    “You don’t sound surprised.”
    “It’s after office hours. If you want empathy, wait until I’m on the clock.”

     

    Shiv murders Tom. It's a good thing her godmother is an excellent lawyer.

    Summary

    “Is that your mark?”

    “Oh, yeah,” Tom says, flushing some and peeking down at the veritable smudge on his arm. It’s not exactly his best feature – other people have little charming stripes or an animal, lines from a poem, and he’s got… none of that. Hell, Shiv herself has that cute blade at her ankle.

    Shiv stares for longer than is strictly comfortable.

    “It’s not really any sort of shape,” Tom laughs, a little awkward, thinking she might be trying to figure it out. “It’s a Rorschach, I guess. Or, well... that’s what one doctor said.”

    Shiv raises a brow and touches just lightly around it. “Like the ink blots?”

    “Yeah, just like,” Tom says, then he turns his arm a little to look at the inside of his bicep, tapping at the mark in some urge to cover it up – to make her stop looking at it. “Whoever my soulmate is, they’re a little different depending on who’s looking at them.”
