Summary
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
It's a once-in-a-lifetime event; a hallmark of parting adolescence. The graduating class of 1985's high school senior prom.
Determined to join the military, Stanley is forced to keep his relationship a secret. Only one place, unromantic as it may be, offers enough privacy for the two to share a dance.
There's no mood lighting or shimmering tinsel here—just a mop and some gym supplies—but it doesn't matter. They could dance along the Seine, in the mountains of Peru, or beneath a golden Caldera sunset, and Xeno would still outshine it all. Like the strength of the sun against a sea of stars, his warm embrace is all-encompassing. It's home.
Stanley feels like a coward for hiding it.

Stanley takes a girl to prom, hooks up with his boyfriend in the closet. (…No pun intended.)

Summary
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
The time machine's accelerator whirred at top speeds. Suddenly, a blinding white light enveloped the laboratory, drowning its inhabitants in a harsh glow.
Then, it was calm.
As the two scientists spun around, their jaws dropped in perfect unison. Stanley was gone, leaving someone else in his place: a boy, only ten or eleven years old, who looked feverishly around the room. With his golden hair and the stick of a lollipop flitting between his teeth, it took Senku little time to realize who he was. Xeno, on the other hand, would remember that face better than his own—no matter how many thousands of years it'd been since he'd seen it.
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
While tampering with their time machine, Xeno and Senku come face to face with a living memory. Mistakes are cuter than expected. -

"A glass observatory makes for an elegant prison cell, wouldn’t you agree?"
Long claws brush Senku's hair, still dripping wet, away from his bruised face.
"I find it truly fitting for you, Senku. You keep your heart inside a glass cage as well, do you not? Protected and well-guarded as it may be, those walls are easy to see through. Your feelings aren't as hidden as you think. It’s why your followers so willingly trust you, but it is also your weakness."
Xeno runs a single finger along Senku's chin as he leans forward, eyes narrowing.
"What happens when it shatters?"

AU where Senku has been captured instead of sniped.

Summary
Despite all of Senku’s posturing and skeptical diatribes on the subject of love—or anything even slightly vulnerable—he’s pretty easy to see through. And never in his life has Gen been so tempted to kiss someone on the cheek, just to see if he can get away with it.
Maybe someday.

Gen catches Senku lost in a memory.

Summary
Maybe everything really does boil down to that fateful July day, when he and Baji were both handcuffed, separate but together, to a memory. What kind of twisted destiny welded a chain around their hearts, linking them inextricably and setting off an entirely new sequence of events from just one small moment in life? A single moment. A short moment. Something that was easily preventable, but completely unavoidable.
Haruchiyo traces the scar around his eye, as if to confirm it’s still there. Who understands everything they’ve been through, if not each other?

Timeline 0 without time leaping. A study of catharsis and what it means to grow.

Summary
Why had he not seen it before now? What ghost of hospitality and good nature possessed him atop the Light—what siren called out to him with longing, drawing him nearer by her song? A yearning, born in the presence of a will-o’-the-wisp, and gone just as quickly, faerie’ing away all sense and reason.
But then he spots him.
Squinting against the sun, a figure, faint at first, gathers shape in the glare. Flins is too far away to tell with any certainty, but it is a far more natural form that has caught his eye—one of a man slumped upon a drift.
Or: Flins rescues Varka from a shipwreck, and they must survive a month on the island together while tending the lighthouse.

Summary
It only became clear to Xeno later on just what that look meant as he conjured the image of it in his mind- playing the memory over and over again…
Certainly, Senku took getting into Xeno’s good graces as a challenge.
Unfortunately for him, Xeno had dedicated himself to his own challenge as well.
He wanted to break Senku.

Summary
The spotlight pans upwards and two hundred faces turn with it. Gasps ring through the room like a chorus of sighing lovers as a man is lowered over the crowd on a swing.
Dark skinned and long legged, he spills over the gem-encrusted corset he’s been poured into. He stretches upwards, holding the sides of the swing with arms dipped in full-length black satin gloves. The taper from his broad shoulders to his waist is meaner than sin.
