Summary
Now, however, he was alone again. Broken more than he was before, with nowhere else to go other than back to where he started, Hosea kicked his horse into a trot. Wrenching open the little bottle with shaking fingers, he took a swig, throwing his head back to savor the burn.
It would be a long journey.

After Bessie's death, Hosea comes home to Dutch and Arthur. He is not the same man he was when he left. He instead reminds Arthur of someone he once called his father. -

Summary
Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!-The Ballad of Reading Gaol, Oscar Wilde
A narrative take on the ending of Good Omens Season 2.

Summary
Vanessa Afton didn’t expect much out of her lot in life. The daughter of a successful creator, she would always feel dwarfed in William Afton’s shadow.
Her father would always have a controlling hand in her life, but maybe Vanessa can bend the rules every now and then… But that never works out well in the end, does it?
“He really messed you up, didn’t he?” Was possibly the biggest understatement Vanessa had ever heard in her life. -

Summary
What happens when you give a serpent a mirror? They stare longingly into it, if one were to guess. Maybe that’s not a true statement for most serpents, but it is true for at least one.

Summary
He’s going to die. He's going to die he’s going to… Crosshair is going to die.
Before he could realize what was happening he was on the ground, slumped in front of his bunk and sobbing wretchedly as he clawed his blunt nails into Hunter’s back, his ori’vod not faltering as he held Tech’s shaking frame tightly.When Tech's day spirals into a full meltdown, he can always be sure that his brothers will be there to catch him when he falls. What better way to do that than a blanket pile and group cuddles?

Summary
“You old fool,” a soft voice echoed through his ears, “You are poison. To this Order, to your Family...”

“It should have been you.”
Or:
In the wake of confronting a ghost from the past, Obi-Wan Kenobi reflects on his past mistakes, but that’s something he shouldn’t have to do alone.

Summary
The Master and his Padawan stood side by side waiting for the red tented ray-shield to dissipate into nothingness.
Once it did, they would launch a combined attack on the Sith Lord waiting just one barrier away from them.
They were the strongest Master-Padawan team the temple had to offer and they would face this challenge together.
That was the plan, anyway.

Summary
It was so swift, happened so fast that Qui-gon and his sharply attuned abilities didn't catch his padawans disappearance in the Force until it was too late. The suddenness of one of his most prominent bonds being abruptly severed was so jarring, he jolted awake with a pounding headache.
That was seven days ago.
