    Summary

    Together, they strip the corpses of fallen soldiers like scavengers, sending prayers of forgiveness to their respective Gods, and take what they can carry on two horses. Eilat is several weeks of hard riding away, and from there Yusuf is insistent they take a merchant ship to Aden. Nicolo soon loses all feeling in his behind and thighs. Yusuf continues to alight from his horse as if having awoken from a pleasant nap. “It’s all about rhythm,” he tells Nicolo, moving his hips to demonstrate. Nicolo contemplates killing him, for whatever good that will do.

    --
    Yusuf asks Nicolo to run away with him; Nicolo agrees, with reservations. Serious reservations. If only he could remember what those were.

    Summary

    “Yusuf ibn Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn al-Kaysani, called al-Tayyib,” Yusuf said, pointing at himself. He had to repeat himself several times before the man frowned and glanced up at his face.

    “Yusuf,” the man said, pointing at him. He had to try a few times to get the intonation right, after which he carefully attempted the rest of Yusuf’s name, if with less success. It surprised Yusuf that he bothered, given what they’d been doing to each other. The man pointed back at his pale, gaunt face. “Nicolò di Genova.”

    Summary

    So what if his former associates thought of him as a lowlife? So what if he was disgraced from academia? So long as he was still welcomed back into the town-on-Gorkhon, nothing else mattered.
    With quivering hands, he picked up the letter and carefully opened it as though he was afraid something would jump out at him from inside it. But nothing had changed, it was the exact same as when he had first read it a week ago.

    Bachelor Daniil Dankovsky,
    There is another way.
    — Victoria Olgimskaya Sr., The Light Mistress.

    Yes, there was hope for him still, and hope he would cling to till death did them part.

    ———

    Over a year later, Daniil Dankovsky returns to the Town, with a letter from a dead woman and a ticking time bomb inside his own body, in a last-ditch effort to defeat death.

    Summary

    The Bachelor—man of science, child of the capital—has no ritual in him. No way to excise the growing tumor in his heart. Artemy should have seen it building. Expected something drastic. No ritual, but he doesn’t lack for drama.

    “Oynon.” Artemy reaches for him. The Bachelor finally looks up.

    (the Bachelor has realized that this is all a farce. the Haruspex helps him through it.)

    Summary

    At times, existence imposes upon us a generational curse so that we may labor for our redemption within it. At others, the only wisdom lies in letting it utterly expire. The misfortune is that Victor hails from a peculiar lineage, and to consign his actions to oblivion is not a viable option. To confront the inevitable, he proposes to lay his case before you, thus appointing you the supreme judge of his chronicle.

    Or, to be phrased with greater exactitude: This is the narrative where Victor strives to articulate the impulse that led him to conjure the creature, defending his singular cause. Yet, on this occasion, he has not forsaken it to its fate, instead, has been abducted by the creature, to be left to rot and be controlled by his creation.

    Summary

    Large, freezing fingers take hold of his hair and wrench him up, up onto trembling knees as it snarls, there, close enough to rip his throat open with its maw of borrowed teeth.

    "Do not think I am not tempted, Victor!" There is no heat to its breath, as it bellows its contempt not an inch from his face. Only moisture, and rushing air, expelled to defile his name. "To bleed you. To humble you."

    --

    "You have denied me death, I deny you in kind. You must live, Victor."

    He hates the sound of his name in its mouth. Hates it. Had only it died as intended, that he would never suffer the sound again.

    "For if you will not grant me a companion, I will take you as one."

    "Yer hands are filthy." He spits right there on the floor, watches it bubble. "Don't want that in my mouth."

    When he does look up, he expects Thomas to launch into another tirade, lay one more curse upon him. Instead he only laughs, scratchy and wheezing. "That so? I got bad news about the rest of me, boy."

    Summary

    Yusuf lets out a stuttered breath and pulls back to meet his eyes. Nicolò’s eyes were dark in the candlelight. He always looks breathtaking from this angle, looking up at him while pressed into his chest, the cupid’s bow of his mouth exaggerated and lashes casting a shadow onto his cheeks. Yusuf has never been able to resist dipping down and worshipping those lips with his own, demanding more, initiating something that would keep them awake for a little longer.

    “Yusuf,” says Nicolò. “Yusuf, you don’t have to stop,” Nicolò says.

    Yusuf looks at him, tracing his eyebrow with his thumb, smoothing his frown. “I’m alright, my love,” he says, and means it.

    “My hands, my mouth, my ass–” Nicolò says, “– still work, you know.”

    ---

    In which, Yusuf and Nicolò are stuck aboard the Sempre Verde, a 16th century Portuguese ship marooned in a freezing terrain, during a mission to transport refugees fleeing the inquisition. With their provision rapidly depleting, they are faced with difficult decisions, as well as inner demons named grief and guilt

    Summary

    Yusuf pressed forward. The man fought well, but he was clearly unfamiliar with the terrain beneath his feet. Yusuf knocked him backwards and towards the river. Mud would weigh him down, and perhaps the water would finish him. With a substantial effort, Yusuf managed to topple the man, sending his helmet flying. Yusuf raised his sword –

    – and hesitated.

    The man staring up at him was the man from his dreams. Visions, so he had thought, urging him to battle, putting a face to the shapeless horde of invaders ravaging his homeland.

    Yusuf’s shock enabled the man to lunge forward, seizing Yusuf’s midsection and sending them both falling into the river.

    There he lies, Bullseye, at the Devil’s mercy. He took Foggy from them, from a world that needed him, from him. He took several other lives in his deranged outbursts, he’s a psycho, he’s a wild animal. He’s broken beyond repair and Matt knows, that under God’s ever-watching eyes, he deserves to die… but even though it’s God’s will he intends to heed, it’s the devil’s appetites to which he complies.

     

    Or, the one where Matt decides to get retribution for Foggy's death, in the most twisted way.

    Summary

    The 'chorus effect' occurs when many sounds that are roughly the same length and pitch converge, adding a rich, shimmering quality to the layered audio. While such layering can be naturally occurring, such as within a choir, the effect can be artificially simulated with certain tools. The effect is more apparent with sustained notes.


    Miller. If you’re reading this, I’m dead. Do not search for me.

    Feb. 26, 1984: Venom Snake awakens. Mar. 3, 1984: Shalashaska disappears into mist.

    Though the living-again legend that is Big Boss manages to rescue him with the help of old friends, the Cat has lost not only his claws but his silver tongue as well. What is he left to do but partake in the Dogs' revenge?

    But revenge won't come easy to these Dogs of war, for the Albatross has long since been left to rot. Great Misfortune befalls their beloved Ship; a Butterfly beats her fragile wings; a Bird, distantly, sings a sweet, silent song... and a Phantom is swallowed whole.


    TPP canon divergence AU... Ocelot getting taken by the Skulls instead of Kaz is only the beginning. Follows some canon events very, very loosely, with many, many changes. For fun.

    Summary

    “I told you,” Ocelot’s voice was low. He stepped into Kaz’s personal space, standing between his knees. Kaz flinched into stillness and glared up at him, his vision pulsed with a white haze as regret seeped through him, “this is specialist training, Miller.”
    .
    .
    .
    The year is 1981, half way through the 9-year gap between Big Boss being comatose and Venom awakening. Kaz knows he needs to be prepared for the moment that Boss wakes up, and that means making sure he stays alive behind enemy lines, if he should ever find himself there. Ocelot has valuable skills, skills that he is willing to impart on Kaz in the only way he knows how- via a demonstration where Kaz finds himself the subject.

    Summary

    Kaz accidentally shows up at the wrong time and catches Ocelot in the middle of some very interesting business.

    "He had never figured out what Ocelot’s deal was, but tonight was different. Ocelot was off. Even in this moment of silence he couldn’t stop idly stroking his chest and caressing his shirt, or looking into the middle distance with those huge blown pupils...

    Oh.

    “Ocelot, are you high?"

    It took a few seconds for Ocelot to answer. “That’s... irrelevant.” "
