    Summary

    For something new to grow, something else has to die.
    But the three of them—Ochako, Katsuki, and Izuku—almost seem content to live in what’s already rotten.

    They’ve been through hell and came back wanting more.

    Call it grief. Call it need. Call it love—if you want to lie about it.
    Whatever it is, it festers. It bleeds slow. It bites back.

    They don't want to move on.
    They're digging in.

    It’s a three-car pileup.
    And they keep crashing back into each other, teeth first.

    (Aka where they fall apart, around, and into each other—until there’s nothing left but the mess they made.)

    Summary

    She asks, “Are you happy?”

    And Wanderer wonders if it's sad that he has to think over the question.

    He isn't unhappy, really— he can’t think of any reason to be in his current situation with a new source of power, frustrations over the past aside. He’s just… alive. Just the same prisoner to fate he started as, if objectively less miserable than during his time with the Fatui.

    “I don’t know,” he says after a moment that’s much too long; long enough to be an answer of its own. Even still, Lesser Lord Kusanali waits to hear what he has to say. “I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve been for a long while.”

    “Well,” she says slowly, "I’d like it if you could be."

    (or: a traveler and a wanderer; neither of whom needs saving, one of whom admits they'd like company.)

    Summary

    But as with all things, dreams must come to an end, so Nahida sighs and focuses on more important matters. Such as, the stunned girl with white hair sprawled on her knees, leaflets nestled in her braid. She looks up at Nahida with a completely bewildered expression. It’s like looking into a mirror.

    Nahida looks down. Black knee length shorts.

    “Oh. Whoopsies.”

    “Whoopsies,” Scaramouche says, and her own voice comes out. “That’s all you’ve got? Whoopsies?”


    Sometimes, getting to know a person is to walk a mile in their shoes, literally. Other times it’s taking pictures of the things you like, and going for joyrides in the middle of the night. It’s about finding a friend you never knew you needed, in the last place you’d ever look. About wishing you were worth sticking around for, and realizing you were enough all along.
