    This fic tore me into a million pieces and then proceeded to stitch me back up again. The Kim Dokja characterization we deserve 💜

    Summary

    HiMERU’s brain feels like it’s sizzling in his skull. Sometimes, he wants to tell him everything. He wants to see the look on Tatsumi's face when he realizes that everything is completely beyond helping, that everything is all his fault, that all of Kaname’s suffering is because he failed–

    But then he’d have to admit things are beyond help. Which they weren’t. They couldn't be.

    Summary

    Mithra doesn’t answer. He slides his gaze to Akira, and how much more piercing it is when Akira can discern it’s pinned him like a butterfly to cork. “You want to return.”

    “To Japan? Yes,” he says, the word out loud bearing overwhelming guilt. He softens it: “First I need to do what I was summoned for. I don’t understand everything about it, but I’m figuring it out with everyone’s help. I won’t leave until then.”

    “And you would leave,” Mithra says, the stars liquid and eternal in his eyes, “forever?”

    The stars are not actually eternal. Neither is a wizard. Both are merely long-lived, stretching so long it seems like forever. It’s easy to forget it isn’t and never will be. Easy for a wizard himself to forget. Easier yet for a wizard like Mithra, who has let precious few others close when his pride is like a god’s and his heart is very, very much like a man’s.

    Summary

    One year after evading a grim demise, Goro Akechi's managed to find his footing in a post-Thieves world... kind of. Aside from the use of sarcasm and the surprisingly sage advice of a self-help book, Goro's still not sure of the right way to handle the weight of his regrets, his obligation to the world at large, or the matter of his... feelings... for Ren Amamiya. But sometimes it's not about fate, angel numbers, or the caprices of false gods. Sometimes, it's just that the only path leads forward— so, with the chance you're given, you steal ahead.
