Summary
“I’m allergic to lying?!”
“Seems like it,” Lee confirms, closing one eye to line up a shot. He breathes in, holds, then exhales, letting the arrow loose. It hits the bullseye, but not quite as centred as he’d like it to be. Shoot. He sets down his bow, and Will runs off, scooping up the volley and running back with them.
(Gods, Lee loves having a little brother.)
“That’s not a real allergy,” he huffs, placing an arrow in Lee’s waiting hand. “The ten most common allergy types are foods, animals, pollen, mold, dust mites, medications, latex, insect stings, cockroaches, and perfumes or household chemicals. Other allergens are rare but not impossible, but all are a result of physical stimuli. An allergy to a concept or person is a figure of speech.”
Lee squints at him. “Do you know what ‘stimuli’ means?”
“No.”
“It means a thing that evokes a specific reaction. Where’d you read that?”
“‘The Flu, The Plague, and the Common Cold — How We Are Shaped By Reacting’ by Phyllis Ledger.”
“Huh.”

Summary
Will falls out of the chariot, eight entire times. There’s nothing funnier than watching him lose his shit at a splintered pile of wood that was once a carriage, helmet thrown to the ground in a fit of rage, accent so thick he’s literally incomprehensible. Nico never gets to see him like this. His stomach actually hurts from laughter on several occasions.
Slowly, though, he starts to get the hang of it. He’s fast, after all, and quick to observe, to respond; the other teams struggle to land hits on him, in practice runs, and sabotage is difficult when your opponent seems to have an almost prophetic gift to see things coming.
He can’t, however, steel himself to hit back.
And therein lies the trouble.
“For fuck’s sake, Will, I’m not asking you to kill anybody,” Clarisse snaps. “You need to get your head in the game!”
Will’s shoulders curl defensively. “I know! I’m trying! It’s just —” He kicks at their broken wheel, in two clean pieces on the ground. “Do no harm.”
“Do some harm. Or I’m gonna kick your ass.”

“They’re everywhere,” says Kayla in disgust, peeling a long, curly strand off her shirt. “I haven’t been in the same room as him in two days. This is a brand-new shirt. How am I still somehow covered in his hair?”
“He’s like a dog,” Austin explains. Nico snorts. “He sheds, and at first it’s subtle, here and there, you get used to it. The suddenly two years go by and people are complimenting the fur coat that was not fur before you bought it.”
Gracie sticks out her bottom lip, eyes watering. “Will is not a dog, he’s a boy!”
Kayla, weak to her sister’s pouting, pokes her playfully in the side. “I’m only teasing, Gracie-girl. Of course Will isn’t a dog.”
“Except the shedding, and the constant yapping, and the fact that if you don’t let him loose to run around for a while he goes batty, and of course the following Nico around like a lovesick pup—”
“Thank you, Austin,” Nico interrupts, clearing his throat.
Austin snickers. “Anytime.”

“Solace, I am going to kill you.”
“Some healer you are,” Will mutters, as if Nico is not playing healer right now purely because he is the only one in the entire camp with a half a chance of wrangling the dumbass head medic himself. He continues to wiggle.
Wrapping a hand around his uninjured ankle, Nico drags him bodily back to his cot, ignoring the shrieking.
“One day on bedrest, you dipshit. One. Day. That is all anyone is asking if you.”

Summary
He glares playfully at his siblings, who are all giggling now, pointing fingers at them all.
“Lemme tell you right now. A man walks in here offering me that and a cheque for any school I want and it’s over for you people. I’m gone. You can fend for yourselves.”
“Yeah right,” Austin snorts, disbelieving. He reaches over and pinches Will’s thigh, cackling when he squawks. “We can’t even get you to leave the infirmary at the end of your shift. You’re stuck here forever, Rapunzel.”
“Just you wait! My prince will come!”
“As if he even wants a prince,” he hears Kayla whispering to a giggling Gracie, who responds with a cheeky, “Not when he’s got a king!”
Nico doesn’t know who they’re talking about, but the fact that there’s someone — his vision goes green. He has to tamp down a genuine snarl which is — ridiculous. And out of nowhere.
He cuts another glance to Will, who is still muttering petulantly. Every few minutes, he hears something about an “open floor plan” and “high pressure showers”.
He gets a very, very stupid idea.

Summary
“My dear brother,” Kayla begins, “my lovely, kind-hearted, smiley, morning person brother, is neurotic.”
Nico waits. This is, apparently, the end of her sentence, as she does not continue.
“I am aware,” he says slowly. “I have been present during every rant about Hollywood inaccuracies about medical sciences.”
She nods sagely. “This is true. You have. You are, however, by virtue of his cripplingly low self esteem and fervent belief that his mere existence is a Literal Actual Curse, spared from much of his most…colourful…contingencies.”
“Contingencies,” Nico repeats.
Kayla nods again.
“Yes. You see, dear future brother-in-law —”
“Cease,” Nico snaps, reddening.
“— our lovely William, also known as your Special Guy, according to Nico With Severe Blood Loss.” continues Kayla, not ceasing, “is under the impression that you, like all people, have a Limit.”

Summary
It hits him all at once, all too hard. The body on the floor. Red spatter under his head. Prompto’s face, waxy and white and motionless.
Noct hears the door bang into the opposite wall behind him from how hard he threw it open. There’s a ring echoing in the shower and his own ears that tells him he shouted something. His knees are zinging with the pain of striking the floor, hard and fast as he fell to Prompto’s side.
“Hey,” he yells desperately, seizing Prompto’s shoulders, then his head when it lolls like dead weight. “Hey, hey, c’mon—Prompto?!”

Summary
Prompto rolled over, laying his feet across Gladio. “Yeah, but what if I get something like a worm? What if I'm a worm, Gladio?”
“You're not going to be a worm,” Gladio said. “Probably.”
“Probably,” Noctis agreed, still not looking up from his phone.

Everyone has an animal that reflects their innermost selves. Those who swear themselves into the King's military have the privilege of learning what that animal is, gaining abilities and skills related to it. Some are crows, facing the world with a cunning intelligence and wind under their wings; others are wolves, showing sharp loyalty and even sharper teeth; and others still are mice, quick and flighty and wonderful spies.
Prompto is a dragon, surprising everyone, including himself.

Summary
No one else is looking at the screen when the newscaster announces the discovery of facilities in Niflheim before the screen is filled with the image of a hundred identical people walking tentatively out into the sunlight.
Noctis huffs behind him, mutters, “It’s always Niflheim.”
“Gods,” Prompto whispers before he can stop himself. His voice is rough, almost wet—he doesn’t understand what’s going on.
Prompto doesn’t know if it’s what he says, or maybe something on the television finally catches the attention of his boyfriends but all at once, they react too. Gladio swears, two then three times in a row, and Prompto gets it, wishing he was less frozen, so he could join in too.Alternatively: Prompto finds out he’s a clone at the exact same moment as the rest of the world.

Summary
The temperature had dropped significantly once again, but Prompto was still wearing the layer of sweat he’d had in the car. In the firelight he looked less human; his eyes cast back a reflection of brilliant orange. Ignis pressed a hand to his forehead.
“You’re a bit warm. Probably would be best if you sleep on the far side of the tent tonight.” He mentally assigned himself as the buffer. If it was the same illness he’d been fighting off yesterday then he should be immune. Even if it was short lived, which it seemed to be, there was no point in risking Noctis catching it.Bookmarked by TheGrammarHawk
