    Summary

    “What?” Jaden bewilders, to which Rejoice only waves at him, an unreadable expression on his face.

    Wemmbu draws back from where he’s leaning and props an eyebrow at Egg, gesturing toward where Rejoice is standing and the so-called torture. Egg only gives a sparing look back, one hand doing a neck cutting motion, before he stretches straighter too.

    What the hell is going on in those workshops? Wemmbu thinks bemusedly, just as Rejoice’s voice cuts by again.

    or; tax duo and a coffee shop au to celebrate the series’ one year anniversary.

    Summary

    Maki’s words resound in his ears like crackling dry wood: “I don't want you to leave without doing something you’ll regret not doing later on.”

    And who is Yuuta if not a mosaic of all his closest people’s advice and patience? Who is he if not someone who wants to stop mourning the misses in his life? He wants to live a little more, wants to have a little, a lot. He wants the tiny things, the mundane the not, over and over; wants something he can hold safely, sacredly. He wants to start anew.

    or, there’s a lot of things Yuuta has to think about before he leaves for Africa, and he has exactly one night and one last watch-together with Toge to figure them out.

    Summary

    There's a hand on his chest again, gingerly clutching the fabric right above his heart. The warmth is almost immediate, Toge rolls in further. He doesn't have to think twice about what it means, or what the thin gap wants to say. He already knows.

    Goodnight, Yuuta. I love you.

    or, Yuuta realizes maybe he's more deserving of this than he thought.

    Summary

    I miss you.

    The ink is still fresh when he pulls the quill away to look. Three tiny little words, eight wistful letters, spaced at the very top of their otherwise empty conversational page.

    Summary

    “It’s New Year’s,” Egg replies, finally.

    Wemmbu’s oars dip a little too deep mid-motion, sending a sharper splash across the side of the boat. He steadies it quickly, frowning. “What?”

    Summary

    Wemmbu’s breath stumbles and he hesitates. Branching and coiling upwards, the vines spread, choking his voice box and lungs before any words can form. He can feel the lump grow, but he forces it down with an uneasy scorn, casualness failing. “Then I’ll deal with it.”

    “By killing me?” Egg says weakly. Hands staining red the longer he crams his fists onto the crate, streaking brightly against the crowding snow of skin.

    or; Eggchan gets bitten, and they have to deal with the aftermath.

    Summary

    Egg looks at him, shoulders hunched, inhale slipping in as a restrained breath and exhale coming out as a sigh. He raises his arm again, forwarding it towards Wemmbu as some form of evidence to make his case. “You bit straight into my wrist like you were gonna take the whole arm with you, dude.”

    “Well, okay, look.” Wemmbu defends, leveling his hands, “I usually kill something first. And then I bottle it. I don’t… I’m not used to—” he gestures vaguely between them and the marked hand in between their crannies, “alive, living donors.”

    Summary

    “Alright, cool.” Egg greets him in a quick glance before he dangles his head back, fluttering one eye shut in demonstration. “Now, the easy part, we close our eyes.”

    “We?” Wemmbu quills out with a laugh that sounds like it stops midway but not quite, just slippery in volume. “We?”

    Sleeping doesn't come easy nowadays, but maybe they can take a little time to practice it again in the Farlands.

    Summary

    Wemmbu scrolls through his phone, thumb hovering over the screen every now and then as he drags down his playlist. Half-focused—until a hand suddenly crosses the space between them and plucks one of the earbuds straight from his grip.

    “Hey–” He blinks, affront already coloring his voice.

    “You weren’t gonna offer,” Egg says simply, tone matter-of-fact. Like he’s pointing out the weather, then nestles the bud in his ear.

    or; Wemmbu (unwillingly) shares his earphones with Eggchan on the subway home.

    Summary

    “I said,” Egg hesitates, and the hand on his skin trembles once, barely, before what feels like Egg’s fingers lightly tracing along the cicatrix begins, emphasizing a point only one of them is able to see. “It’s the same. I’ve got one down my back. Same shape. Same place.”

    or; Wemmbu and Eggchan find out they're soulmates at the worst possible time.

    Summary

    It's a quiet gesture, an easy link when his hand finds Wemmbu's one, limp and open atop the blanket. He threads their fingers together, clumsily. It's a bit stiff, it's a bit strange, but it's fine. They're learning—one warmth at a time.

    “Then I’ll remember it for you,” Egg reassures. “When you can’t say it sober.”

    or; flufftober D3 and D9 combined and blended out in a college au.

    Summary

    When Wemmbu's head hits the pillow, he can't help but wonder once more, not for the first time, if Mane was right. If mercy makes him weak, if sentimentality is just a chain dragging him under. If he's really alive—living in Mane's footsteps like he wanted to when he keeps biting his tongue when he should be bearing his teeth. (And in a sense, Wemmbu's not wrong, emotion is a weakness when wielded like a blade, Mane warns him of that all the time)

    Summary

    Maybe he’s grown soft. But, in the storm’s shadow, in the hush of rain and blood, a truth settles into him like a brand: he will bleed, he will fight, he will burn himself down until there’s nothing but ash—and nevertheless, Egg will still be there, tending the wounds, making sure the proof doesn’t fade.

    or; Wemmbu and his perception on what defines his existence.
