    Summary

    Daphne raises a brow, her lips pressed together. She stays silent for a moment, bowing her head to gaze at her feet. “You still think I don’t deserve to be here,” she says, and it’s a statement, rather than a question.

    March feels like he’s crossed some line—but that’s fine. That’s the plan. Push her away, regain some semblance of normalcy.

    He doesn’t know why he attempts to take it back. “Look, I—”

    “No, it’s fine, March. You don’t need to justify your anger. I just don’t understand why you hate me so much.”

    “I…” I don’t hate you, 'I just think your presence ruins the flow of my daily routine and your brand of earnestness bothers me for some reason, is what he wanted to say, but that’s not what came out. “I just don’t get why you need everyone to like you.”

    -----

    In which a forcefully retired ballerina-turned-adventurer-turned-farmer tries befriending the local blacksmith, and said blacksmith detests that...or at least, that's what he's made himself believe.

    Summary

    “I don't bite,” he finally said after some time.

    “I know,” she said quickly, dispelling any doubt. “I just-” she paused, not wanting to say too much, lest she embarrass herself with the alcohol loosening her tongue.

    “Just what?” He pressed.

    She is suddenly very interested in the torn skin around her fingernails. “I don't know.”

    “You knew about 5 seconds ago.”

    “-I just want you to like me,” she spilled, unable to stop the words from flowing out of her mouth.

    Summary

    A storm shrouds Jing Yuan’s shoulders. He smells like wind and lightning, like rain on a sunny day, like dark soil and the life that blooms from it. He smells like… like the Luofu, that very first time Dan Heng stepped into the sunlight, that very first time he beheld the world with his own eyes.

    Saliva fills his mouth. His stomach churns now as it did back then, trepidation warring with a longing so sudden and fierce that Dan Heng can’t think of anything else. This feeling—it can’t be anything else.

    But then Jing Yuan says, “It’s been a long time, old friend”—and the candlelight in Dan Heng’s chest hisses out.

    Jing Yuan and Dan Feng weren't soulmates.

    Jing Yuan and Dan Heng are.

    Summary

    One small change. One word different. And Arctic and Foeslayer don’t fall into tragedy.

    Aka

    What-if instead of Arctic shouting, “Spears! Stop those guards!” and causing a chain of events that would cloud his mind with guilt and bitterness, effecting how he treated those around him, and what would eventually result in his own gruesome death, he shouted something just a bit different?

    “Arctic spun in the air, flung his wings open, thrust his front talons toward the pursuing guards, and shouted, ‘Spears! Distract those guards!’”

    Everything changes. For the better.

    Summary

    Sypha had said that Alucard's sadness is like an icy well that swallows up anything dropped into it, but as he spends his days alone in the castle that used to be his childhood home, he fears that the memories he had dropped in are beginning to crawl back out.
