Summary
"That was close," he said quietly. You could feel the vibration of his words through his chest, the low rumble sending awareness skittering across your nerves.
You tilted your face up, studying his expression in the dim light filtering from the street.
His pupils had blown wide, leaving only a thin ring of blue, and suddenly you couldn’t look away.
You built your career keeping dangerous Praedators off the streets. As the youngest captain of the LCBI's most successful enforcement unit, you're very good at your job. When the unit's increased workload forces you to hire an assistant, you expect competent filing and decent coffee. Xavier Shen, an unremarkable astronomy graduate desperate for work, delivers. He's quiet and reliable, exactly what you need.
But when a dangerous case lands on your desk and powerful interests offer assistance with hidden costs, you discover that your reluctant new partnership with EVER Corp isn't what it seems.
...Neither is Xavier.
[Inspired by Xavier's Catch-22 Deluded Fiction card]

Summary
He is no longer waiting for you and hasn’t been for years. Somewhere, a funeral is held for you. Somewhere, moss grows over your gravestone—new life upon old sins. The earth is forgiving. One day the wounds you’ve inflicted will close and new flesh will knit itself over the hurt and become soft again. Still, between you and me, I know this is no happy ending. I know you would trade his life to keep his eyes on you.

Summary
"We at the Theraprism are happy to tell you that your spouse is safe and healthy.”
“I don’t have a spouse.” Said Ford.
“Yes, you do.” The entity pulled out a holographic binder. “Here, I have the paperwork."
Ford, suddenly assaulted by ghosts of lost, alcohol-soaked, hazy, whisp-like memories circling in the periphery of his mind, went deathly pale and had to take a step back to lean his weight against the cash-counter.
“I- That- That cannot have been legally binding!"
Or: Stanley Pines isn't the only one in the Pines family to get blackout drunk and married on a whim.

June, 20XX.

None of it matters. A new game is starting, and Akechi Goro is going to win it.
