    Summary

    It’s in Las Almas where he first sees it — really sees it.

    Whatever it is.

    “General Shepherd sends his regards,” Graves says simply, succinct with his taunting.

    “He knows about this?” Ghost spits, but there’s that ember rising, burning in the back of his throat, breathing smoke out his lungs, threatening a trembling, terrible rage as something deep in the pit of his being begins screaming.

    Or: the past comes back to haunt The Ghost

    Summary

    Sometime during their unstoppable descent into the realm of the damned, it became apparent to V1 that they are merely a chess piece, moving at the hands of an unseen player; one that is swiftly closing in on the other for a resounding checkmate. At the very end of Hell, Gabriel loses his final match with the machine that unwittingly broke the shackles he had noticed far too late.

    Rather than putting an end to his existence, V1 instead takes the opportunity to shatter the board and stop the game.

    In the aftermath, both machine and archangel are left standing in the settling dust of the collapsed echelons of creative order. But a scorched earth isn't always the end. Something will eventually grow from the ashes of utter destruction, if given the chance.

    Summary

    Natsuki half remembers Lu mentioning this once to him offhandedly, that Shin is a handful when he’s drunk. Shin had jumped in about how rich it was for her to say something like that, and they’d devolved into their regular arguments. Natsuki had mostly forgotten about it.

    As he tries to drag a drunken Shin down the street, though, it’s easy for him to work out what she was talking about.

    Summary

    “So, yes.” Kaz said. “It is a good idea to collect in the Barrel. Merchers don’t care about some puerile charity project, but the Barrel is built of survivors. It has a very long memory. Say some jumped-up kid pinches some kruge from them. When he comes back to his boss, who lost his girl and his Da and his best friend in the Queen’s Lady, and presents him with money that’s meant to be funding a memorial for them? Them, the people who never get a scrap of respect, who were left to die in the streets? That kid will be lucky if he escapes with both of his hands.”
    --
    or: on the 10 year anniversary of the queen's lady plague, the holy ghezen health institute aim to erect a memorial for the victims, but they struggle to find the funds. kaz is selfish in a selfless way.
    and thanks to some sleuthing from wylan, jesper finds out who jordie is.
    or was.
