    Summary

    Each step feels clumsy, sluggish, a second behind. Unscripted. Off-book. The water brushes up over your foot for a moment, sand sticking uncomfortably to what you think is probably your skin now. Do you have skin anymore? You miss your shoes. Would it be weird to wear shoes now? To find new clothes? You want to drape yourself in fabrics, smother every inch of that glowing light you can never seem to shut out until your body is finally dull and darkened and done.

    You wonder what happened to all your old clothes. They probably burned up with your face. Your name. Your home.

    There’s nowhere left for you, is there?

    Summary

    It was expected that the pair could not stay apart for long.

    Pure Vanilla's goal is simple: get through to Shadow Milk, and help him help himself. Shadow Milk's goals are...a little more complicated.

    This is going to include both canon information and my headcanons about the Beasts and Ancients. Some parts of the story may become inaccurate as more updates are released.

    This fic is not complete, and will never be complete. I've shared all the WIP chapters, and will be focusing on other works. I hope you all enjoy what is there.

    Summary

    "What's your name, kid?

    "Uh... J-jack?"

    "Jack?" There is skepticism in Batman's voice.

    Smokescreen wants to die. Right now.

    or:

    Smokescreen accidentally ends up in DC because of an ancient artifact. He is a young war veteran, and his holoform is a teenager with blue eyes. You know where this is going to lead.

    (English is not my first language, and I use a translator to help me write it.)
