Summary
Sometime during their unstoppable descent into the realm of the damned, it became apparent to V1 that they are merely a chess piece, moving at the hands of an unseen player; one that is swiftly closing in on the other for a resounding checkmate. At the very end of Hell, Gabriel loses his final match with the machine that unwittingly broke the shackles he had noticed far too late.
Rather than putting an end to his existence, V1 instead takes the opportunity to shatter the board and stop the game.
In the aftermath, both machine and archangel are left standing in the settling dust of the collapsed echelons of creative order. But a scorched earth isn't always the end. Something will eventually grow from the ashes of utter destruction, if given the chance.

Summary
Before the List, before the Flash, before Rando—there was a young boy named Dusty. Just Dusty.
A coming of age story about Dustin’s life pre-flash as a child and a young adult grappling with his conceptions of family, identity, and self-worth.
(Technically Chapter 3 of parent fic ‘A Story About Love.’ While this fic establishes thematic foundations and character arcs that will be explored in ASAL, if you’re just here for Dusty backstory, you’ll be able to read this on its own just fine.)
