    Summary

    Navia looks at her, eyes bright and wide- and a smile breaks out on her face. This close to the girl, Clorinde is able to trace the freckles that coat the girls skin like constellations. She wishes to reach out, to touch them, to trace them.

    “Clorinde, right?” Navia asks- and Clorinde finds herself tongue-tied in the worst of moments. She nods her head dumbly, starstruck by the shorter girl. “I like your name. Wanna be my friend?”

    And when she forces her mouth to open, when she forces her vocal chords to produce a sound akin to yes-

    Well, Clorinde knew her fate was sealed then and there.

    Summary

    Hello, darling.

    I’m not sure what I’m supposed to write here. Madam Ping suggested that I write letters to you as part of coping with everything that has happened. She told me that you never had to see these letters if I didn’t want to give them to you, it's more of a space for myself. She showed me her letters, ones that she wrote to her dearest when she departed. I was foolishly upset about it, because you’re not gone.

    You’re not gone.

    You’re still here. Just resting. You’ll need to rest. Lots of it.

    And when you wake up. I'll be here.

    I’ll be here.

    Yelan

    ///

    When Shenhe finally wakes up from her months long coma and catastrophic injuries, she finds that the world has seemingly changed without her.

    Yelan has changed without her.

    Summary

    Lines drawn are never meant to be crossed, especially when they were made for your own sake. Too bad Navia was never good at following the rules.

    Or,

    Five times Navia finds herself proven wrong and the one time she's right.

    Summary

    Fire.

    Blazing heat rains down from above.

    She’s surrounded by flames.

    She falls.

    A star streaking down from the heavens.

    Burned up by the atmosphere, nothing but a certain and inevitable end. Like a shooting star, there is a wish hung on her demise.

    Live.

    A wish for life.

    One that begins with death.

    The same dream haunts her in the dark. Visions of her descent, her final moments, of another life perhaps. Her own death.

    "Nightmare, darling?" A leather gloved hand carefully brushes a few strands of hair out of her face, pulling her from the throes of darkness, from the inferno that engulfs her.

    Kafka.

    Why is she here? Himeko pushes her away. This is not how she wants Kafka to see her. Whenever Kafka shows up, they fuck, and Himeko is not in the mood for that tonight. Some part of her wants more than that. But she knows that's not possible, after all, who would want someone who sees her own death whenever she closes her eyes?

    ///

    The three times that Himeko has a nightmare and Kafka is there to wake her with milk for her coffee, and the one time that she isn't.

    Summary

    To Himeko.

    Breath hitching, Himeko traces over the letters with her finger. It trails lightly over the uppercase 'H,' pausing briefly over the arches of the 'm,' and then digs its way over to the looping 'o.'

    That is her name. Someone left this here for her. Someone left a container with her name on it, on a planet that's dying under the weight of its own blizzards; a planet that Himeko has never seen before in her life.

    or, Himeko, Kafka, and the letters they leave for each other across galaxies.

    Summary

    Kafka treated her differently from the others. Touches, gazes and words that were reserved only for her. The cold calculating hunter, only ever gentle with her.
    "This is just between us..." One of them starts.
    She isn't sure where it ends.

    Summary

    "This is so stupid. I am so stupid."

    She can't meet Natasha's eyes, and she can't explain it very well either; only that she feels like if she meets Natasha's knowing gaze, she'll find herself succumbing to a kindness that she absolutely does not deserve. And if Serval manages to get a glimpse of that—well, maybe all that progress she's put into moving on will truly disappear into a gust of snowy winter air.

    or, Serval wonders if there's some sort of miracle medicine in the Underworld. (there actually is, her name is Natasha.)

    Summary

    “I meant what I said,” Kafka replies casually. “Not everything is about you. I could just be here to get my brunch, minding my own business."

    “You really expect me to believe that?” Himeko says hotly. “How awfully convenient that you were sitting outside the one restaurant where I was on my first date in months.”

    Kafka shrugs. “Coincidences can be so funny when they want to be, can’t they?”

    Or, Himeko tries to move on from a volatile relationship by going on dates again. Kafka is never more than a few steps behind.

    Summary

    Kafka never really thought that the she would get so attached to the Receptacle. But watching over Stelle's progress at Herta's Station, she found she quite liked the idea of the newest member of the Astral Express crew being her kid. Of course, parenthood comes with its own set of challenges sometimes. Like say, having to get revenge on a man who used her child to kill someone.

    What's a bit of downtime when you can be killing a man your daughter didn't because she's too nice to even rough him up a little?
