Summary
Urged forward by his determination to prevent a cruel and unfair end for one Lea Florence Monad and those she holds dear, the Tracker arrives at the Rose Estate immediately following the Blood Artist’s demise, rescuing both mentor and apprentice from the steadily encroaching doom that would’ve sought them out otherwise, long before it can arrive to claim them in its talons.
From there, the Tracker hides Lea and Romeo away from the world as it begins to fall apart around them in earnest, giving them the time they need to recover from their respective injuries, heal a number of not so physical wounds too, and eventually readjust to a Krat that will be utterly unfamiliar to what they remember.

Summary
But now Malenia rested, there amongst the pale flowers; a splash of beautiful red against a sea of wispy white. There she finally rested, and as much as Finlay may have yearned for it, she could not join her in that long sought reprieve.

Summary
The void lashed at the ledge before her, barbed tendrils of inscrutable blackness, commingled by intermittent flashes of white. It spasmed, a maw of endless, choppy shadow, bereft of any will beyond a permeating sense of chthonic, primeval hunger, desperate to subsume anything and everything unto itself. As was its nature, as Hornet had always known it be.
She had to return above, regroup with the snail shamans, ascertain a new method of breaching the artificial heart the monarch had conceived deep within the void’s black waves…and yet Hornet did not move, not for a while at least.
Hornet lingered at the edge, overlooking the lake of living shadow below, taking in its perennial thrashing, its unerring malice.
And she wonders why the mere sight of it still hurts.

my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing by elphaels

Summary
When Romeo looked back at her, it was with a small, delicate smile that spoke only of reassurance and empathetic understanding.
It was the same sad, kind look he’d given Lea when she’d entrusted him with her locket long ago, when she had feebly told him that she could no longer bear the overpowering grief looking upon the three smiling faces kept within its ornate casing would lance through her heart. The longing for those beautiful but ephemeral days had been too much.
Lea’s chest constricted, like her lungs were valiantly trying to throttle her to death. He should not be trying to reassure her— she was not the one who deserved reassuring. He should not be looking at her like that, like she was the one who was the worst off out of the two of them. He had no reason to smile at her so warmly, as though she wasn’t entirely to blame for the tragedy he was now entrenched in.
For not the first time, and certainly not the last, Lea felt sickened by the sheer profundity of her own failures.

In which the Legendary Stalker survives the events of the Rose Estate, and lives long enough to see what became of her ill-fated, sole surviving apprentice.

Summary
But then she turns, regarding you again, and her face is kind and pitying. Your stomach churns at the sight of it.
And she says; “‘Tis an honour, to be chosen a Lord Seeker. A chance again at life, repurposed into a vessel for the greater good. Ashen One, wouldst thou ever think to yearn for more?”
You watch her, silent and still, your shock gone as quickly as steam from a half-smithed sword, with an ambivalent, careworn despair quickly taking its place.
And when you are unable to find that initial reaction you’d wanted from her, the understanding you wished she’d shown to your plight, you look away, numb, back towards the bonfire.
It crackles and hisses, spluttering ash against your feet. Frivolous, worthless ash, unfit to contribute to the smouldering flame.
You do not reply, and the Fire Keeper doesn’t seem to mind.

What a terrible thing it is, to be the only one spared by a curse.

Summary
After getting their ship wedged inside a deep undersea trench during their latest cataclysmic mission, devoid of any real escape or rescue transmissions, the crew of the Coriolis find themselves trapped within the throes of an ‘extended sleepover where we all die of starvation at the end’, as their captain so elegantly puts it.
As the days pass beneath the insurmountable weight of the Ethersea, as their supplies dwindle and any hope of escaping the trench wanes, Amber, Devo and Zoox talk about their feelings, argue, confess their fears, share stories, and just learn a whole lot more about each other in general, which goes just about as well as you’d expect.

Summary
On one cold, unassuming night, deep within the constricting walls of the Parish, Devo finally reaches his long inevitable breaking point.
That split second, life altering decision to step out of the Church doors and out onto the Conservatory’s plush turf results in a lot of things, most of which entirely unforeseen.
On one cold, unassuming night, Devo flees the Conservatory and ascends to the Ballast with nothing but the clothes on his back, his tape player tonewheel set, a very broken nose, and what might just be his first real friend, even if he doesn’t understand what that means yet.

Summary
Ethan Winters has enough on his plate already with trying to save his daughter from a coven of mutated freaks in the middle of the Romanian mountains, without having to babysit an enigmatic, out of place eleven year old boy with an attitude problem.
Well, at least it’ll be good practice for when Rose gets older, he thinks.

Or, the FNAF Security Breach x RE Village crossover fic no-one asked for that retells the events of Village except Ethan is accompanied by Gregory, and has no choice but to become the boy’s unconventional second dad.

Summary
At the base of the Arche Abbey on the Isle of Alchemists, P met someone who beforehand had been nothing but a vague, conflicting concept in his mind. Meeting the boy he’d been created to mimic had offered P no shortage of mental quandary’s to mull over, but none of which came close to how the King of Puppets spoke about Carlo in the message he’d left for P, as if he was something treasured.
P learns that his unexpected twin brother is unawares of the tragic fate that befell his childhood best friend, and P is faced with revealing a hard, bitter truth that no lie could ever conceal.

Summary
A tree stood in its bed of blackened, untended mulch— leafless and flimsy. Its pale trunk bore a message, carved deep into insipid and lifeless wood with a large, unsteady hand, enclosed by a sharp edged heart.
‘WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND?’
P looked at it for much, much longer than one typically would when reading such a short message.

Summary
The Golden Order provides you with nothing but emptiness and pathetic excuses, it cannot mend what it has already broken, it cannot alleviate the burden it has placed upon your shoulders.
