(Listen!) Title from "Curtain Call" by the Little Einsteins ദ്ദി( • ᴗ <)
======
A screen flashed to life, hovering just over the blank wall. Pig pressed gently on the edge of the mat with a hoof and it spoke.
Well… it kind of spoke.
The sound that came out was definitely some alien approximation of some human language that Tommy couldn’t quite place. Also, it had some sort of lilted quality (maybe from an audio overlay filter?) that didn’t quite sound like talking. More like…
The blonde tapped a section of the mat with the tip of his shoe to see if it would respond to him too.
It sang, Tommy realised, in German this time, and the screen above the place he had pressed lit up.

Title from Dinner is Not Over by: Jack Stauber
======
“Does he have a name?” Phil asked quietly as he kneeled and Sam hummed.
“Not any he responds to yet. It’s only been a few months since we picked him up, but we’ve been working on it, believe me.” The only thing filling the silence was a low murmur coming from deep within the human’s chest.
“Are they usually this affectionate?” Phil had started petting the human with both hands, cane set on the floor to the side.
“He was separated from his mother too early. Poaching is a big problem when it comes to humans, either for unethical testing or zoos.”
“We thought about rehabilitation and release, but he’s been raised in captivity,” Sam added, leaning against the wall. “He wouldn’t survive in the wild.”
“He was violent at first, understandably, but he’s since calmed down. As far as I’m aware though, this is the most tender he’s been since we picked him up. Maybe he can tell… Well…” Puffy flushed, looking away.

Her rippling hair reflected the afternoon light and Kyosuke felt his breath catch in his chest. The long, wavy strands that normally looked black were actually tinged a deep, radiant purple, and her grey eyes seemed to sparkle from behind thick eyelashes.
“It’s okay, Mirahara.” She smiled at him. “Thank you.”
She started walking again and he followed, at a loss for words. This girl was completely different than the one who had sat listlessly in his class for all these months. She was radiant and outspoken and brass. How could he have missed her?
“You aren’t too bad yourself, y’know,” Misaki said. “If the awkward delinquent poser type is what you’re into.”
“Okay.”
”That Yumehara-san is much more attractive, at least among the girls.”
“I said okay, Hagiwara.”

Title from And Thou Art Dead, Young and Fair by Lord Byron
===
The pinkette leaned in, raising a hand to hide the view of her mouth.
“Philza has requested your presence.” Her grip on the glass tightened.
“Who will watch over my son?” Kristin asked.
“That,” Niki replied with a smile that could cut platinum, “is my job.”
Kristin took a deep breath, turning to face the table across the room. Philza, Technoblade and William were seated there with an empty space presumably for Niki. The twin heirs were deep in conversation.
Philza (Crowfather, Angel of Death, Unsleeping Eye, and a million more titles ran through Kristin's head) Craft sat at the head, finger tapping against the base of his wine glass. A diamond coated crown sat on his head.
An amused smile decorated his face as he looked around the room at his guests.
Kristin’s gaze wandered to the gun mounted above his head.

(please let me go) Title by The Walters
=====“Ugh. You… that’s not fair! I am… I’m unlovable, okay?! Are you happy now? Now that you got me to admit it?” There was a small tremor in her voice but she refused to cry. “You were the perfect son, always doing everything asked of you, always bending to every beck and call.”
“But Father didn’t love me.”
“BUT MOTHER DID! Evil incarnate didn’t love you, but sweet, caring, compassionate Mother loved you with every inch of her big, kind heart. I couldn’t even have that.” She sounded disgusted and angry and frustrated but Zuko wasn’t sure if it was with Ursa or herself.

(And only that is true) Title from: 'Cause I'm a Liar (Kokichi Oma fan song) by: Mcki Robyns-P
=====
“The rules of the game are simple. The mafia want to kill all the civilians to gain power. Each night the mafia will confer and pick a player to kill; the doctor will pick someone to save. Two of you are soulbound. If one dies, the other will die from heartbreak. Each morning, everyone will meet and choose someone to eliminate. The person with the most votes will be Exiled.”
“There’s more but we’ll figure that out on the way. The game ends if there are an equal number of mafia and civilians or if all of the mafia are voted out. Questions?” The spell was still over the room, but the noirette moved on anyway. "Well, if everyone understands what’s going on, it's time for the game to start.” They all quickly stood from their places as she herded them towards the door.
“It won’t hurt, right?” Quackity asked, wings bristling. She giggled as she walked across thin air, hovering.
“It’ll be a lot of fun for us.” She isn’t talking about the people inside the room.

“And now I’m here. But enough about my sob story. What’s yours?”
“It’s not half as good as yours, and my memory’s still patchy, so don’t get your hopes up. To the best of my memory, they got me while I was trying to run from one of the many, many foster homes. Must’ve been for a petting zoo or something. Then the shop got sprung, same as you. Fell into the adoption system, but my never ending charm and good looks and above average intelligence got me selected for a special training program which I only recently found out was to be a service animal. Now I live with Bird and Pig.
“That was when I was 8 or so and now I’m like seventeen, so it’s been nine years in space, give or take.”

(And what you came here for) Title from Portrait of a Blank Slate by: Lovejoy
======
There were all the nicknames, all the little signs of affection, the way they checked up on him after a hard night, or before he left for school in the morning.
There were all the little gifts and the shopping trips to buy things he didn’t really need, but they got anyway.
And then there was Tommy. Tommy who was too loud, too annoying. Tommy who swore too much, who asked too many questions. Tommy who talked back.
So he was leaving.

=====
The warehouse was rather dingy, decorated with mildew and water stains. An unsettling squeaking noise suggested an infestation of rats somewhere within the walls.
Frankly, Techno wasn’t impressed. There had to be higher-end abduction facilities.
Their kidnappers were sitting at a table situated at the other end of the room, playing some sort of card game. They seemed to have little interest in them now that they’d successfully taken the boys hostage.
“Techno,” Tommy whispered from where he had just awoken. “The knots are too tight.”
Techno hummed, slipped his hands out of the loosely tied ropes and tugged Tommy’s restraints until they were almost slack.
“Thanks.”
“No problem.” Techno reinserted his hands into the ropes.

“Tommy,” Phil sighed, trying to keep his voice hushed. “Do you remember how the landline’s only for emergencies, especially when I’m at work?”
“But it is an emergency!” Tommy insisted. “My cookie!”
“Don’t tell me Wilbur ate it again.” There was a sniffle and a silence as though Tommy had nodded his head across the very auditory phone call. “Did you ask for some of Techno’s?”
“He finished it!” Phil ran an exhausted hand down the side of his face.
“Buddy… do you absolutely have to have a cookie today? Didn’t you just have one at daycare a few days ago?”
“Dad!” Tommy gasped as though Phil had said something diabolical. “Techno didn’t even make nuggets even though it’s Tuesday and I ate the gross leftovers and only complained a little, tiny bit because I knew I could have my cookie! If I don’t have my cookie tonight, I will die."
“Okay, okay!” Phil acquiesced. “How about I get you a new cookie on my way back?”
“I don’t want a new cookie. I want MY cookie!”

(I’ll see you on the other side) Title from The World Was Wide Enough - Hamilton
======
Everyone was born with a soulmate. The red string of fate tied your soul to another. The only thing that could separate soulmates was death. The bond of whoever was left alive would turn a deep, rich black.
Soulmates also shared power levels. Each partnership was allotted a certain amount of power that was split evenly between them. If the red string snapped, the other would gain all of their deceased partner’s power; this meant their power doubled.
As such, hero-villian soulmates were a hot commodity. Kill the villian and not only do you have lower crime rates, but you also have a hero on steroids. In the eyes of the League, the death of one criminal was an easy sacrifice to make.
Dead, was the first thought in Kristin’s mind. Lying in a bloody pulp under the debris they thought they could kill me with. Beaten and broken and discarded, just like they deserve to be.

“I miss them every day, ma’am. They were like my family. But now I have the chance to raise their son the way they would’ve wanted me to. I can see the grandchildren they were never able to.”
Selina hummed. Her eyes traveled from the painting to the flickering fire.
“It’s Valentine’s Day, y’know, Alfred.”
“I’m aware.”
“Did you ever have a soulmate? Or do you not believe in that kinda thing?”
“When I was growing up, it was much less commonplace, but not unheard of. Now I’d reckon it’s somewhat taboo not to, what with all of the new technology and soulmate detection programs and whatnot. There… was someone I loved once, yes. But she was taken from me far too soon.”
Selina took a sip of her wine, thinking.
“Alfred?”
“Ms. Kyle?”
“I think I might be drunk, Alfred. Bruce always has the good wine. Better than anything I can find at a bar. That I can afford, anyway. I finished a bottle.” She hiccuped. “Or maybe two or three. And I think one might’ve smashed when I dropped it.”

“I didn’t kill anyone,” the man snapped, clearly having lost his patience.
“Well then we better find out who did because I’m watching her hang from the ceiling right now. It’s not a pretty sight, Robert. I’m sorry for your loss. Looks like she’s wearing the dress you took from your mother’s attic three years ago.”
“What, so you see dead people? Is that the gimmick? Get a child medium to scare me into incriminating myself?” Wilbur pursed his lips, unsatisfied.
“Dead women tell no tales. Sad men write them down,” he said matter-of-factly.
“I see secrets.”
“He doesn’t— That’s not possible, right?” Foolish asked skeptically. Techno just leaned in closer to the glass, eyes not leaving Wilbur.

“Are you done, love?” Death asked when Tommy leaned back, juice running down his chin and hands. He nodded and She snapped her fingers.
Phil watched as the core-- with more than a few bites of flesh still attached --rotted and decomposed before his eyes.
“Mama?” Tommy asked, leaning against Death. “Why is Papa tied up?” Death closed Her eyes, placing a kiss on Tommy’s forehead.
“Your father tried to leave us… again, so now I’m going to make him stay.”
Tommy’s mouth twisted into a frown.
“Oh. He’s not supposed to leave.”
“No. He’s not.”
And Phil felt indignance rise in his chest, mixing with the rage and fueled on by his hunger.
“I’m not his father, and I’m not your husband.”

“If he’s a prisoner, why isn’t he chained up?” Tommy asked quietly, and Phil chirped, scurrying over to the corner where he kept the metal shackles.
“It’s better to keep him unrestrained,” Phil answered before Techno could. This voice was gruff and old, mirrored from one of the guards that didn’t come punish him anymore. “When he flits around, it makes sure the whip hits different spots.”
Sometimes when he was alone, Phil chained himself anyway. The shackles were far too small for his ankles and wrists, and they dug in painfully, ripping the skin and drawing blood. He used to do it a lot when he was first locked up, but now he only did it on bad days.
Just to feel something.
“Sorry, sorry,” he apologized when Techno didn’t refute him. Phil wasn’t supposed to say anything unless he was asked to.

“That’s not even the main point of the intervention,” Tommy spoke up.
“He’s right. You need to hibernate, Techno.”
“I already told you,” the pinkette grit out, eyes shut forcefully, “I am not hibernating this year. I have every year up until now, so there should be no problem if I skip one. I should know. After all, I’m the only person in this entire room who has to lose 2 months over some stupid trait evolution forgot to take out.”
“I don’t want you to die, Techno.” Tommy’s voice broke through the tension in the air. It was stable and quiet, but Tommy refused to look at him, the blonde’s back to Techno.
“I don’t want you to pass out and die because you’re too stubborn to do what you have to.”

Phil cooed as the hand ran down his wing repeatedly, brushing out the loose dirt.
Protector chuffed, amused, and Phil looked up at him as a foggy haze started to fall over his mind, wrapping around him snugly. Protector purred and Phil relaxed even further as it coursed through him.
