    Summary

    These are the essentials, according to Luca:

    • a way to communicate– something coded would be better, but he’ll accept plaintext so long as it’s hidden;
    • a rundown of each place he’ll have to go to and when, should they fail to switch back in the morning;
    • a list of all the places and people he absolutely should NOT visit no matter what;
    • a dented, aluminum bottle that’s full of water, so Shu doesn’t have to wander;
    • a list of his usual set of jokes and japes, inked in thick, blocky letters;
    • a patchwork sweater that smells faintly of cinnamon and something else, kept in case he gets cold, but it’s made of the same thin material as everything else, so it never really helps at all.

    or: He's not crazy, and time travel is real. Shu finds that out in the best, worst, most confusing way of all.

    Summary

    “You took my fish,” Shu says, and his purple eyes stare. Unblinking.

    His voice takes Sonny out of his trance and he is reminded of the rope around his wrist and he tugs at it again. “Well, it’s in my net, so in case you don’t know how a fisherman works, it’s my fish. And I hooked it up along with you, so I guess you’re mine too?”

    ~*~

    Nothing is ever in a perpetual state in life, but Sonny finds comfort in loving the few things that will stay true; the dawn sky above, the waves beneath, and Shu.

    Summary

    And even though it shouldn’t, Luca’s personal space always has room for him. Shu presses his knee more firmly against Luca’s, emboldened by the cover of the table. He hopes it's comforting.

    He finally relaxes as he sees Luca smile, emerging like sunlight through a cover of clouds. Today was a hard day, it seems. His heart sinks just looking at him.

    “It’s cruel, what they do. They exterminate the memory and chase out the ghosts. They leave you with nothing, or worse, they leave you haunted. It’s not very fair.”

    “But you’re one of them,” he reminds him. Shu was always the pragmatist between them.

    or: It's hard to make a relationship work when things are constantly disappearing, but they try their best.

    Summary

    It's 1920, the rains carry the smell of rust from the spattered blood on the ground. Red slowly seeps into the drains clearing the traces of mess. Two figures, under the shade of an umbrella, look at the mess of bodies being dragged and bagged off by their men.

    Their eyes hold no remorse, to them it’s just another night in this shitty world called life. The shorter of the two chuckles, catching the attention of the other. The one with a big fluffy coat questions, but it’s left unanswered. The shorter one only turns away, the raindrops soaking his clothes.

    The taller, runs after him, making sure to cover the man with the umbrella, a frown on his lips, eyes looking down at the shorter, his gaze unreadable.
