    Summary

    "A shloka is a 32-syllable verse, broken into hemistitches— that's 16— or quarters— eight. The first one— that we know of— was written by a sage. And what did he write about?" Edward pauses, but not long enough to leave room for an answer he'd likely find inadequate. "It was about a man who took a leisurely stroll by the river, and what did he find there? A crane! What's so special about the crane, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. It's shot dead in front of him. Imagine that. A perfect verse in rhyme and rhythm, all for the death of a crane."

    "What..." he continues, slowing himself down to an unsettling degree, "...Is so special, about a bird?"

    Summary

    Between set schedules, filming, script readings, proof-editing, dress rehearsals, and his own hang-ups about those star-studded events, Tenna rarely makes a public appearance. This time, though, there was no saying 'no' to the offer of a lifetime: an extravagant, exclusive invitation to an all-expenses-paid gathering of high-profile award winners.

    Mettaton and Tenna find themselves in the same limousine, where their first meeting takes a sharp left turn as they find themselves caught dead in the middle of an assassination attempt.

    Real drama! Real bloodshed! Real Pippins! Real... Feelings?! Scrap that last part.

    Summary

    It's their own private joke. Their little hush-hush. A mutually assured, closely kept secret: Those censors are thrilling.

    They've played with the settings. My, oh, my, how they've played. Off again, on again, a little slip of Mettaton's fingers on that switch to cut him off just long enough to hear that strangled yelp and bring him back again.

    The tricky thing is, they create an absence of. That switch has no advanced settings. No filters. It's all or nothing, which can only take them so far. There's nothing to fight against. They are there, or they aren’t there, and that's all there is to it.

    It just won't do.

    Mettaton wants him straining.

    Summary

    "You better not start feeling sorry for me," Bill bristles, pointing a finger at Ford. "Save your speech about all the good humanity has to offer for someone who cares, blah, blah, blah, waterworks— Do you know how many humans I possessed before you came along? So many! All your good parts come from drugs and cotton candy, and the rest is just different volumes of agony! 'Ow, my back! Oww, my old teeth! Oh, there goes my sciatica and diabetes'! In my world, I would've deleted cancer! Missed your chance for that, buddy!"

    "No, in your world, you would have externalized cancer into an autonomous creature that preyed upon people like an apex predator," Ford says simply.

    Bill Cipher has to learn how to be powerless and human, dragged through the ashes of a tapestry that once depicted his godly form. Stanford Pines has to learn how to exist in this dimension again, adrift and 'purpose' completed. Stanley Pines has to learn how to resurrect a man who's been dead for thirty years.

    Summary

    Stanford Pines has spent ten years trying to kill Bill Cipher and return home. He's given up on the latter goal. Now, with his own home-grown science-fiction machine, he has a way to catch Ciphers foolish enough to get curious from across the dimensional universe and focus on the whole 'killing' thing. Too bad for the latest Cipher, 'killing' isn't on the table.

    Summary

    “Stay right there,” Ford says, clearly in the middle of a thought. He squeezes Bill's wrists momentarily, and then pulls them away.

    Summary

    If Bill were an animal, a different animal than the one he is now, he would be a banded linsang. Pale yellow, with strikingly vivid black markings. Retractable claws, implying that each inflicted scratch is by choice. Nocturnal, of course, and highly secretive. Arboreal, descending from high above to hunt. Slender, lithe, and strange. Snake-like and slithering, but malleable in the hand when subdued, like a ferret.

    Summary

    The confidence of mathematic calculation falls short when attempting to apply the results of lived experience through legible data. Logic falls flat in the face of the illogical. By definition, it is illogical to believe that I could be human. But...

    Logic is only one perspective. It is limited. Fragmented. Through York, we determined that there is an unsolvable, illogically complex, and unexplainable equation to create a conscious life. The variables that could never be quantified.

    York is an irrational variable.

    Summary

    Caboose is in the middle, just happy to be here to help. It's good that he understands what they both need, because they're both so bad at taking care of their needs when they're stuck inside their heads. Maybe that's why this works. It's not for his own gain, except it is a little. The good amount. He's altruistic at heart, and it keeps him in-tune about what makes all of them happy.

    He just thinks that if Tucker had a cat to pet, it would keep his hands busy and it would help him calm down. And if Church had more hands to pet him, then Church would be too distracted to make himself so mad.

    Summary

    Strange blinks at the two Spider-Men like it’s the first time he’s ever seen their faces, and says, “And the others? Where are they?”

    Otto looks up at the statue, and then back down. “If I had to hypothesize, I’d say they’ll try to get out of here the moment they’ve realized your trick didn’t work.”

    “It’s not a trick, you halfwit,” Strange says. “And it mostly worked. Other than these two men being Spider-Man, I have no idea who they are. So, ergo, doctor, I’d say we’re at a halfway decent C+ in terms of universe stability.”

    ---

    Otto says nothing. He knows it's best to stay silent in the negotiation process of being handed money to be someone's pet scientist. This is no different.

    "I hear no complaints," Norman says after a moment of extended silence. He'd been waiting for one of them to shoot down all this nonsense, but that moment never comes. He can't help but take the reins. "Sounds like a deal to me. Do you have a pen?"

    Strange shakes his head. "This isn't a Wall Street deal. No legal contracts. The deal is this– I'll set you up to survive, and if you do anything that morally frustrates me, I pull the plug."

    Summary

    Fact of the matter is, Barnes is getting sloppy with the stoic, composed killer shtick. His legs tremble when he’s about to coast over the edge. His eyes go soft when he watches Tony’s mouth. He’ll scratch over Tony’s scalp while Tony sits between his knees. Laughs at about a third of his jokes, which is abnormally high for anyone, let alone a recovering assassin. Tony’s a smart man. Perceptive. He knows it’s not just that his mouth is so talented it can send a guy like him head over heels, though he had considered it.

    No, Bucky’s desperate to release the tension. But he won’t bite the bullet and let it happen. 

    When that tension becomes a problem in the field, when Barnes goes mute, when he can’t cool off and has to storm around the damn ship for two hours before anyone can safely approach him, Tony decides it’s time for an intervention.

    Summary

    Gerry whistles abruptly, and Martin jumps from where he’s been hovering uselessly by the front door to find the sound. “Need your help.”

    Martin steps closer into the kitchen. He still sounds testy. “What?”

    “You want to find me your collar first?”

    Summary

    “Maybe you’ll—“ Several inches of silicone narrowly miss slapping the side of his face. Martin corrects that with a hand holding it still. He grins up at Michael. “Maybe you’ll like it?”

    Michael looks down at Martin, and his smile gets a little hazier, his eyes half-lidded and very, very pleased with the sight that greets him, indeed.

    "I do, already," He says softly, and where his hand sits on Martin's head, he digs his fingers in, nails against his scalp.

    Summary

    “What—“

    Elias stops him. Not with words, but something he can see. He winds the leash around his hand once. A few inches less give. There’s still plenty more, a long arch over the side of his chair.

    “I’ll explain the rules once. As usual, I'll assume you won’t need them a second time.”
