    Summary

    They had not been born, though that did not mean they had no beginning. They did not age, though that did not mean they could not end.

    An eternity ago, a collection of rocks had come together under its own gravity and formed a sphere. And when that sphere settled into place, it awakened.

    And it had not been human.

    Summary

    The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was already going pretty fast. It hurt, pretty bad. Nothing like playing asteroid dodgeball at all. Funnily enough, it only put him off asteroid dodgeball for about fifty-thousand years. Kinda long, when he looks back at it now, but they didn’t really measure time back then. Things were either a short time, or a long time. Sometimes even a medium time, if you felt like breaking the mold. Either way, afterwards he felt kind of stupid for thinking he would’ve been able to change anything anyways. The things they do only matter if it’s inconvenient for them. That’s what Saturn says, at least. Or, said, one time and very off-handedly.

    “Oh no, his move was so bad he died,”

    Someone is waving obnoxiously in front of his eyes. Ugh. He’s kind of in the middle of something here.

    “What?” Earth complains, swatting Mars’s hand away.

    “Don’t what me, dude,” Mars says, but he doesn’t sound upset. He just looks a little amused.

    The Sun doesn’t talk to any of them anymore, time moves a lot slower now which is an unrelated phenomenon, and recently, Earth has been star-gazing a lot more.

    “Hairbrushes aren’t that bad!”

    “They look like teeth. You are not coming at me with teeth!”

    “They aren’t even made of bone anymore.”

    “They were made of bone before?

    Summary

    Earth pulled the book out of orbit, flicking through it while talking. “It’s more of a logic puzzle than math, but it does have numbers so um… technically? I think…” he trailed off and cleared his throat. “Would you like to learn how to play?”

    “Yes!” Neptune liked numbers after all. And it was quieter here. He folded his legs up beneath him and leaned forward, attentive.

    “It’s actually meant to be a one person game,” Earth explained, showing him the contents of the pages. A grid with a seemingly random scattering of numbers going from one to nine. Neptune felt himself perk up even more. “I can teach you the basics— you’ll probably pick it up fast anyway— and then I can give it to you for you to do in your orbit?”

    Neptune tapped his fingers together excitedly, and nodded.

    Summary

    “Oh, kid,” Enjin’s voice is soft, barely above a breath to not aggravate Fu’s pain. Circles rub into his back, pulling him towards a warm embrace.

    It’s almost like he can see it now. Enjin’s pallor skin and haughty frame. Tired eyes and a disappointed frown. A man who’s been drained of all compassion for a boy who steals the lifeforce of those around him.

    He’s taken too much, too soon. He’ll be kicked out in the morning, perhaps.

    But maybe, just maybe, tonight he can ignore that. Tonight he can settle in the warmth and take from that kindness as he huddles on the cold floor. Maybe tonight he’ll get his fill before the inevitable happens.

    (Fu gets sick. It doesn’t go well for him.)
