Summary
Cyrene smiles, her eyes curving up into half-moons. “Destruction is a path that seeks its own end. Let’s… write a story without such a morbid conclusion.”
Phainon expects death to greet him like a warm embrace. Instead, he wakes up in a world that asks him to live instead of die.

Summary
There was only one person who could cook such a delicious meal. The very same only person who could enter and exit his home undetected when he refused to open it for anyone—because he had personally handed over the spare key.
Mydei.
The man who would spite him with terrible food when his jokes grew as stale as the bread he must have left uncovered just for him, or his methods in their latest spar was as slimy as the fish gutted but raw and unscaled. Who could now recall the whole truth but still prepared such a thing with care for the person responsible for his every death.
Amphoreus has become a real planet forged from the memories accumulated over millions of years.
Every citizen is bestowed all the memories that are rightfully their own, so there’s no escaping the actions Phainon took to prolong the cycles until a true hero could arrive with the new dawn.
But when Phainon is unable to see his own worth and face the tomorrow everyone had longed for, there are plenty of people at his side willing to help open his eyes to the truth.

Summary
You want to listen to his heartbeat. To hear if it’s lying or not. You would reach into his chest to feel it if you could. But Ratio has never been much of a liar. Not like you are.
You’re not used to wanting. That’s a lie; you’re used to wanting, to needing with every bit of yourself. What you aren’t used to is being allowed to want. Being encouraged to want. Being wanted to want.
You could reach out and touch him. You're almost certain he would let you. It’s hardly even a gamble.
|
You wake up to a world that thinks you're dead. He's there. He knows you're not.Bookmarked by kishapod

Summary
“I think,” Welt says out loud, “it’s okay to be a little selfish sometimes.”
“Really?”
Dan Heng sounds like he doesn’t believe him. Welt can’t blame him.
Nonetheless, he continues. “I’ve mentored a group of kids much like you all. Young, energetic, and hearts too big for their own good.” Welt sighs. “They didn’t have the time to be selfish, too busy being heroes. So if there is room for you to be selfish, then at least the burdens of the world are not placed on your shoulders.”
“Someone has to be a hero eventually.”
“‘The tragedy does not lie in the sacrifices we’ve made for our victory - it is that we’ve accustomed ourselves to the fact that we must sacrifice someone for our victory,’” Welt recites, an age-old lesson that took him far too long to understand. “If you have something to call your own, that you can be selfish for, then the world has not failed you yet, Dan Heng.”
Dan Heng has nothing to say to that, but Welt thinks that he might get it.
Or, not yet. Just like how Welt didn’t get it, once.
But he will, with time.
OR: Welt, The Astral Express, Anti-Entropy, and then some - on the topics of moving on from the past, healing, and a long journey home.
