    Summary

    He’s summoned to Askr, and he’s as beautiful as you remember.

    But… he’s not yours.

    This is both tragic and happy, in some twisted sense.

    It’s good to know there’s at least one world out there where he’s still alive. Where he still has a chance at a different fate.

    …It hurts to know he doesn’t share the exact same memories as you do, similar though they may be.

    Summary

    Lost in the meanderings of his thoughts, Night-colored eyes unfocused, Moros does not even seem to notice Melinoë coming beside him, not until he hears the Princess call his name once, probably twice now.
    "Ah," he visibly deflates, "Apologies, Princess."
    She shakes her head as if to say it's alright, "Nectar for your thoughts?" in her hand, heavenly pleasure in a bottle. They seemed to have an abundance of those where she went, and that she would choose to share each one with him. Then there was his gift to her, still pinned over her chiton. A piece of him she brings with her. The feeling takes form like a serpent coiling around his gut.
    "You ought to be careful." he couldn't help but smile, at least when with her, "Several offerings like this can make even Doom grow a big head."
    "Would that include your... horns? Or without?" she laughs, breathy and light.
    "Some adjustments would have to be made, I'm afraid."

    Melinoë and Moros navigate their feelings for one another.

    Summary

    "But if it helps you feel better, from what I’m seeing,” she leaned in closer, mouth pushed up mere millimeters away from the blade, “you are my favorite Alfonse of the bunch. Probably the strongest, too.”

    “Your favorite Alfonse,” he murmured, “of the bunch?”

    Her smile widened in response. She pushed his blade up with a gentle finger; pressed a kiss to the underside; and then disappeared into the silence of the colosseum.

    In her place now stood another copy of him.

    -

    With the promise of Askr's protection on the line, Alfonse fights mirrors of himself — again, and again, and again.

    Summary

    It was the way that Zacharias curled up within himself, tucked neatly within Alfonse’s blanket, with nothing but his head from the nose-up emerging into the open air. It was how his breathing deepened into a long, steady rhythm as Alfonse ran gentle fingers through his silver locks and only admired how tranquility overtook the crease in his brow from extended overthinking. It was how his head rested on Alfonse’s lap, a weight as it dug into muscle—

    Oh. Alfonse balked. He was stuck here for a while, wasn’t he?

    Summary

    “Please. Show me,” Zacharias leans himself further against Alfonse, distress sinking further into his bones, “how we could have lived without Embla’s interference. Let us live tonight, exactly how we had once dreamed. If there are only days left in my life, I want to know what it feels like to be alive.”

    To be loved, Alfonse hears. The floodgates tremble as Alfonse’s sentiments build behind them, crashing like uncontrolled waves. I cannot submit. I can’t.

    “Please, Alse,” a crack, “show me I belong with you before I go.”

    Summary

    Alfonse returned his sword to his sheath. He took a long step back, stare unwavering as it remained fixated on Líf’s. “Whatever the circumstances may have been, to leave you in such a place where you felt comfortable killing him — I hope you find peace.” Steel entered his expression, barely hiding the growing flames now that the numbness had started to wear off. “The next time we fight, I will grant you a taste of vengeance.”

    Líf exhaled slowly. As he deserved. “Very well. I look forward to it.”

    Summary

    He wondered if their story could have taken another turn if he’d never become Chainsaw Man.

    If Public Safety hadn’t found him when they did.

    He imagined himself as a kid with one eye missing and a dog devil trailing behind him, meeting Yoshida in another life, in different circumstances altogether.

    “Did you come here just to feed me?” Denji finally asked.

    What was a little dirty note in the face of all that history?

    Sylvain should’ve written that instead. In any memory I have, remotely touched by happiness, you’re always standing in the periphery.

    Summary

    The first gig Dorothea helps Sylvain land is an extended stunt cameo in a stoner flick, a chance to fully commit to self-parody, playing a washed-up child star turned drug dealer. The wardrobe department outfits him in sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts. He grows some scruff and behaves like an acerbic dirtbag for two weeks. “Pitch-perfect casting,” writes the Tribune. Says Entertainment Weekly: “A familiar face in a nearly unrecognizable performance, Gautier looks like he’s having so much fun being loathsome.”

    Ex-child actor Sylvain Jose Gautier makes a professional and romantic comeback.

    Summary

    Nowadays Felix slept on his left side. He didn’t know if this was his body’s natural inclination, or if it had learned to adjust yet again. He’d traded in tents and hillsides for the large brute of a man lying behind him, petting his hair.

    Summary

    Bruno hesitated, considering just making a run for it – Alfonse wasn't likely to follow him, and the longer he stayed the more dangerous it would become. Already he could feel the pulling at the back of his mind, the black smoke of madness beginning to curl its tendrils around him like ivy. He couldn't stay here much longer.

     

    But... It had been so long since he'd even heard Alfonse speak...

    They are here now, the two of them, and so Felix lets himself sink further into his pillow and reach out a hand to smooth back stray strands of scarlet hair from Sylvain’s forehead, to tenderly ghost his knuckles over the side of his face and along his jaw.

    Summary

    Dearest Felix,
    I suppose by now you must be missing me fiercely. I know, I know, you’ve been spoiled by war. It happens to the best of us. The transition from a constant supply of Gautier to the almost complete physical absence is tough, and many warriors stronger than you have fallen from the trauma of going cold turkey.
    I promise I won’t judge, Felix. I’m here to help you through this difficult time where getting a fix of the good stuff (I’m good stuff) is next to impossible.
    Or the one where they send each other homoerotic Victorian-esq love letters
