    Summary

    Slingshot saw the shoreline.

     

    Clear as if he were standing there again.

     

    The rocks were uneven beneath his feet, the ocean stretching endlessly beside them, waves crashing in steady, rhythmic breaths. The air had been salty, sharp, alive.

     

    Coil had been laughing. Not the tight, restrained smirk he’d worn in later years. Not the distant, unreadable expression he’d learned to hide behind.

     

    “You seriously tellin’ me ya never been out here?” Coil had said, walking ahead of him, arms spread slightly as if balancing against the wind. “What kinda life s’that?”

     

    Slingshot—back then, not even Slingshot yet, just a kid trying to figure out where he fit—had shrugged, uncertain. “I just never saw the point.”

     

    Coil had turned then, walking backward along the rocks, grin sharp and challenging.

     

    “That’s because you haven’t seen it with me.”

    Summary

    Rocket hates Sword. The feeling isn't mutual.

    But he doesn't hate him for long, despite his best efforts.

    He swears it's because the guy is too soft, and it would tarnish his image to treat someone so harmless as an enemy.

    But Rocket will never let him in. He'll die on that hill.

    Summary

    After Caine's deletion at the hands of the crew, he finds himself in the trashcan.

    It's only when he claws his way out of there does he realize that he's no longer in the old computer systems of C&A- instead, he's in Blackrock's own servers, filled to the brim with data and systems he's never *heard* of before.

    This isn't what he expected when he said he wanted to see macroverse, but oh well!

    Summary

    Medkit pauses, as a feeling courses through his body. He stares into the night sky with awe. The light from the sun reflects off the moon beautifully, and the sky — a soft gradient of dark blue and purple, stars littering the dark background.

    I probably shouldn’t be waiting around.

    ...

    Or, an AU where Medkit doesn't get recruited by the Church of the True Eye, but by somebody... unique.
