    Summary

    "Shiro wakes to pain. It’s a huge dark mass, pressing behind his eyes, in his nose, his mouth, his throat, forcing his skull apart. He’s scared to move. If he lifts his head his skull will splinter to pieces. He’s terrified that he’ll find shards of it beneath his hands."

    For the prompt: "Self-surgery" for the Bad Things Happen Bingo.

    Summary

    In which Shiro starts to heal, gets a boyfriend, takes a nap, and finally goes to therapy. Not exactly in that order.

    Or a semi-canon compliant account of how Shiro and Curtis fall in love. Since, y'know, we were denied all of that.

    Summary

    Shiro and Lance are forcibly taken as bartering tokens for a rebel faction. That’s bad on its own, but Lance is ill, burning up with a fever and weak with sickness. Their captors are cruel, relishing in both Lance’s suffering and in demeaning the proud former Black Paladin. And as time ticks by Lance continues to fade and no matter how much Shiro holds on he can feel him slipping away. The fear of the impending Galra imprisonment, the hopelessness he’d felt while trapped in the Astral Plane, pale in comparison to the fact Lance is going to die in his arms and there is nothing he can do.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of averting the apocalypse, some take the chance to heal, others inherited a kingdom's worth of responsibilities, some decide to better themselves. Marcille? Is just a bit... very, lost.

    A post-story character exploration of Marcille and the Touden's role in the world and how that affects their relationship, plus a bridge to the epilogue... and maybe a little bit more!

    Summary

    “It’s all I can do, okay? There just isn’t enough of her left to resurrect anymore. She’s too corrupted, I can’t make a functional human body out of this.” She rests her hand gingerly on Farlyn’s scaly hide for emphasis. “This way, at least… At least I could save some part of her, you know?” Marcille’s eyes are red and teary as she looks at Laius, like she expects him to understand.
