Summary
That stab of a sword against human skin, the chop of a head that cost him everything—they might’ve been fleeting moments of amusement for his godforsaken audience, scenes of shallow melancholy in between all the action to cost them a sympathetic tear or two before the next showdown. But they were never fleeting to Yoo Joonghyuk. No, they were anything but—moments suspended in time, cursed to rewind over and over in his mind like the twist of a hypnotizing barber pole or the repeat of a sickening alarm.

Summary
Frieren found herself peering at the statue of Himmel the Hero standing upright before her, a sculpture well over its time now. Ever-so-slowly, her eyes traced the planes of his face, the trail of his jaw; a sight she once found comfort in being greeted with every morning, now reduced to cheap replication and faded stone.
Travel with me, Himmel had said once before, on the end of a journey that seemed like yesterday.
Before she knew it, she’d laid a hand over the now-dotted plane of his face. It felt cool under her palm.

Summary
“Yor,” he said, after midnight was long past and she’d begun to start yawning.
“Hm?”
“Do you think we could keep in touch?” He knew he was asking for a lot. He didn’t deserve it. But it was dark and his mind had begun to fog up like it often did when he was close to her and despite the impending doom, he felt more safe and secure than he had the entire week and he never wanted to lose that feeling—not even if an echo was all he received from now on.
or, two weeks before the end of Operation Strix, Loid Forger finds himself grieving for his newfound family.

Summary
He gripped the Master Sword in his hands — this Sword he'd fought and bled for, only a few hours ago. But it was emptiness he felt. He had been expecting a victory today. Not a… gaping, Zelda-sized hole where she was supposed to be. It seemed he got more than he bargained for, if the hollowness in his chest was anything to go by.
He'd trade it all back, every piece of hard work he'd earned the past few months, if it meant she could be alive and talking with him right now.

Summary

Any other day, she would’ve understood, and probably complied, but right now she just felt drained and exhausted and why were those two feelings slowly being associated more and more often with him?
Were they things you were supposed to feel with the love of your life?

or, in which adrien loses his chance.
