    Summary

    The building begins to fall around Robin at a violent pace. He’s gripping the silver bar tightly now. It won’t be long. The floor is shaking, the roof is falling, and he thinks of that happy place of his, that memory, and then he desperately whispers the words engraved on the bar—

    Nothingness. For an instant, there is absolute nothingness.

    And then—

    Robin opens his eyes. For a moment, he wonders if he’s made it to the afterlife. He’s on that hill again, and next to him is the picnic basket. He could smell the cheese laid out next to the chocolate that he and Ramy had spent too much of their money on. His eyes begin to water at the sight.

    “Birdie?”

    ---

    Before Robin dies in the collapse of Babel, he gets a second chance to do it all over again. He’s not going to waste it.

    Summary

    "Gyro!" Johnny whisper-shrieks, and then he says, stupidly, "Why in the hell would a bear speak English?"

    "Ah! You're right," Gyro says, and Johnny almost relaxes, until he shouts, "Ué! Ll'urzo! Aje nu Stand?"

    "I'm going to kill you if the bear doesn't beat me to it," Johnny informs him, strained.

    "I don't think he speaks napulitano," Gyro tells him. "Should I try Italian next?"

    "No," Johnny hisses. "You should try shutting your God damn pie hole."

    --

    Johnny and Gyro have a nice day.

    Summary

    Gen had entered this relationship with eyes wide open in regards to his expectations towards romance and emotional intimacy, let alone physical affection. He was ready to be the one in control, eager for a chance to tease and charm the usually unflappable scientist who he surmised would be the type to blush if they so much as held hands.

    He was prepared to have to nudge and coax affection out of him inch by inch, eager to see just how cute a flustered genius could be.

    Oh how wrong he was.

    Summary

    Back then, they hadn't been entirely sure exactly what visions Amo’s abilities played to her victims, but Riyo's face in particular when the illusion had broken had stuck with him.

    That woman's powers are real vicious, he remembers thinking to himself as he looked at Riyo’s crumpled form on the ground. Real vicious.

    Which is exactly why he hesitates to answer.

    Or, the one where Zanka discovers who he would've seen had he forgotten his mask back in Amo's tower, and how he deals with the consequences.
