Summary
There was screaming. Or maybe there had been.
Anaxagoras couldn’t tell.
He lay on his side, his body pressed against the cracked pavement, his cheek grinding into the coarse, rough concrete. His coat, twisted and tangled like a flag left to rot in a forgotten battlefield, draped over him in disarray. The fabric felt heavier than it had any right to. Smoke slithered through the air, thick and suffocating, curling and clinging to his lungs as if it, too, wanted to drag him into the chaos. The acrid bite of burning rubber and scorched coolant clawed at his throat, making each shallow breath a bitter fight. Somewhere, a sob echoed, distant and breaking, the sound warped by the fog of pain pressing in around him.AKA - Professor Anaxa gets into a bus accident and starts hallucinating the God of Reason.

Bookmarker's Notes
amazing character study. this hits achingly close
grief may manifest as fervor, but that's all it is. yet we build temples of it and pretend that it has any other meaning, burning ourselves at the altar so that there is at least the illusion of purpose.
love the transformation of anaxa's ambition, and i wish the same peace for those of us still stuck in his limbo -

What exactly is the curse afflicting them all? What happened in the castle ten years ago? And who is Kakavasha, the mysterious, alluring man he keeps meeting every night?
Or, a Ratiorine Beauty and the Beast AU.

Summary
“I know when you are going to die,” Dokja said, “Not just yours, in fact it is everyone’s big day I can see.”
The bathroom was dull and his own eyes deranged him from the other side of the mirror. Geez, how morbid.It took Kim Dokja twelve years to realize that Yoo Joonghyuk could never be his. Years passed but he felt himself stuck in a winter with no heater. So, when his beloved city was at the threshold of spring, 2018 and the green leaves unfurled their gentle fists, Kim Dokja felt a terrible pool of realization dissolve in his stomach.
The once-blinding streets of April had started its metamorphosis. The lush of color that kissed the sky made Dokja somewhat envious.
A call rang through the air. He quietly sipped his coffee.
“Aren’t you going to pick it up?” Jang Hayoung, the waitress, said.
“No. I want to cut all ties and start anew.”
“Whatever sails your boat, sir.”
Kim Dokja smiled. This spring he would surely move to a warm home where the landlady would help him out when his heater would break in winter.

Summary
“They’re not human.” Cyno said, unaware of Tighnari’s internal panicking. At his words, Tighnari’s head shot up. Cyno still looked at the remnants of the massacre, the blood that would probably stay for another few days and the many lives lost at that place. His voice was unwavering, but Tighnari couldn’t help but notice how lost his eyes were, searching endlessly for something that wouldn’t be found.“I don’t kill people; I exterminate monsters.” He whispered, as if he were confiding with Tighnari a devastating secret.
Tighnari was twenty four years old when his world was rebuilt in the form of a man with piercing red eyes with the tendency to tell terrible jokes.

Summary
Two young adepti peacefully reside in the clouds, watching over a land in no need of protection. Centuries have passed since they've been given a second chance by the court of Celestia itself, and until they fulfill their final contract with the divine will they finally ascend into the afterlife.
The once-exorcist, an adeptus with the vigor to shift the landscape with a single sweep of his hand, prefers to keep to himself and only speak if he so desires. His companion, a more gentle yet intellectual partner, is nothing more than an overflowing river of thoughts and convictions. While they are two imperishable entities with striking differences, they've learned to accept and find comfort in the other's company.
One problem—however—remains an obstacle for the pair. And that is, they both cannot recall their previous lives, nor the names they once wore as mortals.
