    Summary

    Pessimistic as it may sound, Marvin is trying to be a realist. His dreams had died with Whizzer, and it seemed that so would he.
    Instead, they'll confront the truth, and damn it all, they'll make the best of whatever time they get out of it.

    Summary

    Shadow's life has been full of mistakes, some worse than others, but admitting his unrequited feelings to Sonic tops the list. He's spent the better part of a decade ruminating on his regret and hiding from feelings he couldn't bear to face. He never thought he'd see Sonic again, and he told himself that was for the best.

    Until now.

    At the bequest of his former rival, and in an attempt to finally get closure, Shadow has returned to Central City. The reason?

    Sonic the Hedgehog is marrying Amy Rose.

    And Shadow is invited.

    ~~~
    “Faker you are not at the finish line.” He bites harshly, fists clenching as he strides towards the hero who had stopped in the middle of the field about halfway from their destination. What does the stupid blue hedgehog think he is doing?!

    But then Shadow notices the way that Sonic's steps are uneven as he stumbles to the side. A trill of feeling tracing up the back of his neck as he watches the scene unfold

    Something is wrong.
    ~~~
    Aka: I love Sonic prime… but was not in love with the ending. So, I’m taking my creative liberty to explain and expand what happens following the end of the world ✨ (Because obviously, they shouldn’t just be fine. Not after that.)

    Summary

    You don’t think you heard the gunshots go off. You can’t be sure, really, because the sound of the aftermath still stuck in your head like you were pulling the trigger yourself– like you were taking the bullet. A ringing in your ears, plowing through the silence like you were inches from the barrel.

    You hadn’t heard anything at all, but the searing pain of something tearing apart was enough to tell you that one of your parasites had done something terribly, terribly stupid.

    You found them then, as quickly as your legs could carry you.

    -
    Or, Soul makes questionable decisions in the name of its god.

    Summary

    Squeaking markers on whiteboards, strumming guitars, snaring drums, pressing down keys, cutting voices and melodies apart with the clacking and clicking, mix, remaster, revise, reverb, and feed it to the stream of void as it washes away, satiating the hunger of the machine's masses, rinse and repeat, over and over again.

    He had it under control.

    Until he didn't.

    Summary

    “Vision tunneling as he ceases to exist, he catches sight of his Soul being Born. Beautiful and horrified and broken and afraid— they lock eyes. Longing and betrayal greet him.
    That’s familiar, that’s right.

    Soul tears itself, still half-formed, from the ground, and tries desperately to reach Him. It looks terrified. He shuts his eyes, not wanting to feel any more guilt for what he’s about to put them through.

    Something brushes against his face and he gasps, eyes snapping open to see The Soul’s outstretched hand.
    that- that’s new. That’s not right. that— The Whole stutters, stumbling over his words. He’s forgotten his place. he tries to start the verse again, but the keys crash together and nausea overtakes him. He starts to fall.

    In one action, the strings are cut, sending the marionettes careening into the growing light.”

    or

    Whole gets interrupted while singing Time Machine Reprise, now, he has to coexist with his Heart, Mind, and Soul, all of whom are NOT pleased about him trying to restart the timeloop.
    Oops.

    Summary

    “I can fix them,” Soul murmurs from their perch, where Heart has wrapped both his arms around them to hold them more securely. It lifts a hand and extends it towards him, as though it believes its touch can turn water to wine and broken to whole.

    Mind knows it cannot, nor can it mix its spit with dirt and grant their Heart sight again.

    “It just happens,” it says through gritted teeth. “I just need to get out of the rain.”

    ~

    Tridential Sovereignty, their way. It goes as well as it can.

    Summary

    He needs to think. Where was he last? What is happening? Why is it happening? He’s the logic- he is reason, he is justice.

    He remembers Soul and Heart, together. He remembers something breaking, but he doesn’t know what it was.

    He is disparate pieces that are failing to hold themselves together. Just like Whole- and yet not Whole, not truly. It wonders if this is how Soul feels all the time.

    Summary

    Incomplete fragments. Imperfect halves. A man who is not quite the sum of his parts. If you pressed hard enough on your reflection, could you hold its hand? Read the words carefully written on the palm? Is this progress you’re making? Deciphering meaning and assigning value to nails painted, small kindnesses and a conversation in color? Or are you just foolishly, selfishly driving you and your other halves deeper and deeper into this revolving hell?

    Or,

    For so long, Soul has had nothing. No glimpse of Whole save for the nails he paints for him. A small kindness from what he could be. Whole doesn’t intend this to open up anything more, but it’s not quite up to him. When his half uses his kindness to communicate.

    Summary

    Return to me as soon as you may, my dear Frankenstein, force your loveliness upon me even if the excess sickens me. I am forever athirst. My longing for you could kill me — but it will not, for it is love, a flame which in its purity will never burn someone alive. The mountains are not so beautiful when you are away. Your breath blows the dust from the Earth and renders it a paradise. I request, nay beg it, of you: when we should once again meet, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.

    (or: throughout the years, victor and henry kiss on six separate occasions. five times in one way, and one time in another.)

    “He is a part of my degree by my own choice. My supervisor didn’t approve, but…” He sighs. “I insisted.”
