    Summary

    With the warm haze of sleep fading from you, your brow furrows as your right hand presses lightly against his lower abdomen, your thumb sweeping up and down in a small attempt at a comforting motion. You quietly call for his attention, voice still thick with sleep.

    “Star? Is everything okay?”

    His typically silent breath suddenly hitches, and his head angles down to face you. Now that he’s turned toward the light, you catch the way his eyes shine, and the way the light reflects off of what you quickly realize are tear tracks, running down his cheeks.

    - - -

    You awake in the middle of the night to find your lover in tears.

    Summary

    Ghost opens his eyes to a place he doesn’t recognize. He’s outdoors, with his back against a moss-covered brick wall, crip grass underneath his palms, and green-fading autumn woods as far as he can see in front.

    His body aches more than usual; a dull throb of pain settled around where muscles and bones connect. Confusion lingers for a few moments, too uncertain of what he’s seeing to fully process the reality of it. He doesn’t remember getting here. The last thing he can bring to mind is from what he can only assume is the night before, without a scrap of information as to how he got to where he is, or why he would have been here at all.

    And even though he’s plenty used to being alone, forgotten by handlers or superiors or even his fellow guns, sometimes, this level of isolation is ominous. Even a worthless weapon like him wouldn’t have been allowed to slip this far away from the watchful eyes of his owners.

    . . .

    The series where Reader winds up taking care of the modern guns, Ghost edition. A character study with a TON of fluff, angst, and exploring Ghost's issues. Title translates to "spell/incantation/magic word".

    Summary

    When former doctor Lyric entered this alternate universe, she had given up on life and felt she had no purpose.
    When she found that the sub-humans that she heard about were actually just scared, abused people that she could help, all of a sudden, she had a purpose again.

    The pet had given up on life and was ready to risk his miserable life for one bite of bread. Could this mysterious new mistress be the one to put some color in his monochrome world?

    Self-indulgent fluff, but it can get a bit dark so bear with me.

    Summary

    For now, he has a cage in your living room. It’s just big enough for him to lie comfortably, but small enough to feel enclosed. A dark cloth is draped over the outside of the whole thing to block out light and make it so Kou can’t see what’s going on outside, and the floor is padded with blankets.

    It’s better than his living space at the shelter, even though Kou has the new anxiety of not having any idea what happens around him. He hears noises from time to time; activity. He doesn’t like those times.

    At the same time that he’s wanted an owner for years, Kou doesn’t know what to do now that he has one. He’s so scared of humans that the very thought of interacting with one makes him shake. Despite endless daydreams of being petted and held and praised, he can’t think of anything now beyond how his owner could cause him pain.

    . . .

    Pet Au!Kou gets used to a new home.
