Summary
"A boy from the Writers’ Guild? Really, son?"
Their mother's voice almost cracked at the final word. My, this must be bad. She couldn't hear Renoir, but her soft-spoken father was most likely beside Aline and holding her by the side right now. He would not intervene until Aline would relent, or explode."He is not a writer, Maman. How many times do I have to tell you? He's an engineer—"
Or: I can't help but wonder... what if there was a real Gustave outside the canvas?

Summary
When Verso awakes, resurrected from the canvas and bound by fragile artistry, he finds himself torn between his stolen identity and newfound freedom. Summoned by his sister Clea to exact vengeance on those responsible for his original self’s demise, he struggles with the morality of his borrowed existence and the blurred line between duty and autonomy. With time running out as the ink sustaining him fades, Verso must navigate family conflict, the haunting echoes of his original soul, and the unsettling realization that sometimes art is more than beauty—it’s a weapon, and it demands sacrifice.
Maelle Ending - if only to make this story work. Sorry Verso!

Summary
Daisuke must admit, he was afraid.
He hasn't seen the captain since before the crash. Well, technically, he did, but he was mostly covered up by Jimmy's arms, being rushed into the medbay. When Jimmy came out, he looked shell-shocked as a soldier, his uniform and shirt blooming with red as the pungent smell of burned flesh coated him like a heavy blanket.
Daisuke visits Curly, weeks after the crash.

Summary
He was powerless, completely and utterly powerless, and it was the one goddamn time in his life he tried to actually reach out and help… He tried to speak, tried to move, and it hurt. He tried to do anything, and it hurt. He was powerless, and it hurt…
He prayed to that damned dead pixel, to the stars beyond them, to anything or anyone who’d listen…
Please. Please let me have a chance. One more chance to fix this…
Curly woke up, gasping for air, eyes wide. One last chance to make things right.
Aka
Curly finds himself back in the past and with what he knows of the possibilities the future holds, he takes off his rose-tinted glasses and actually takes action to protect his crew from the man he once called a friend

Summary
Anders keeps count of all the times he flirts with Nathaniel Howe, which is--coincidentally--all the times Nathaniel Howe doesn't flirt back. It served Anders right for enjoying himself when there was still sort of a Blight on. Good to know the Maker was always there to get one in, when he could have been saving defenseless kittens from darkspawn slaughter or helping the mages not be trapped in lonely towers all the time.

“I, um.” Harry laughs, low and breathy. “I don't think that was a gun.”
“It’s doubtful,” Kim murmurs. Experimentally, he leans back to see if Harry will lean closer, tilting his chin up like an invitation. Their noses brush.

Summary
YOU — You fidget with your fingers for a moment, and then look back at him. “Are you okay, Kim?”
PERCEPTION [Easy: Success] — He blinks twice, surprised. Then he looks away, turning his gaze to the violet and blue sky.
EMPATHY [Medium: Success] — He feels uncomfortable, sometimes, having such raw concern and sincerity pouring out from you with only him as recipient. You’re… intense, on a good day.
KIM KITSURAGI — “I’m alright,” he says. His fingers twitch, like he’s itching for a cigarette. “It’s been… a long week.”
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Trivial: Failure] — Oh, it’s been long, and it’s been hard. Makes you itch for the neck of a bottle in your hand, neurotransmitters firing wild, fireworks behind your eyes.
(or; Kim has a rough week. Harry helps, in his own way.)

Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

Summary
"Kids?" Soap asks, curving his fingers into a silent okay to Ghost without thinking. "Plural?"
"Yes. A boy and a girl. Little Joseph was born a couple of months ago, according to the records."
"Oh," is all Soap says because oh. He has a nephew. A little baby nephew. And then, because that is apparently not enough of a revelation, the doctor says:
"You are listed as their legal guardian, Mr. MacTavish. We need you to pick them up."

Summary
Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish is declared K.I.A during a failed recon mission in 2017. His commanding officer, Captain John Price, takes the loss personally but has no other choice then to move on. He creates Task Force 141, keeps the bad guys scared of the dark, and hunts Makarov relentlessly - the man who killed his sergeant all those years ago.
Five years later, Price fights an assassin with a familiar face.
Spectre-07 doesn’t remember anything. Maybe he had once, but years of conditioning have stripped his mind bare, save for the instinct to kill. It's all he knows, all he craves; the blood of his target between his fingers, at the end of his scope or along the blade of his knives. He's a cold-blooded, empty headed machine, and he doesn't hesitate.
Until he does.

He smiled. «The night is beautiful today, isn’t it, Yinyue-jun?»
It was true. The sky was clear, and gave the moon and the stars a deep blue embrace. But you replied «It’s lovely» while looking at him.
