Summary
Growing up, you'd always heard that Il Dottore was many things: genius, madman, miracle-worker.
After working under him, you realise that he's every bit as complicated as the rumours make him sound. He allows no room for mistakes, but tolerates failure. He hates the cold, but spends most of his days in the most frigid parts of Snezhnaya, staring over the winter sea. He's always homesick for a place across that same sea he was never truly able to call his. The list goes on.
Yes, you have come to learn, Il Dottore is a walking mess of contradictions.
More heretic than god. More god than heretic. Never one, and never both.
And sometimes, in the brief, selfish moments he lets you witness—more man than monster.

Summary
When Ego Jinpachi first embarked on his mission to create the next best striker in the world, he'd expected whatever one would expect when running a facility filled with three hundred teenage boys: think petty rivalries, adolescent angst, and rooms in dire need of air freshener.
He gets all of that, and more—a shattering facade, affection seeping between the cracks, something soft and sacred blossoming out of a rivalry. A boy with dark hair and a keen eye; a boy with the brand of a genius and an undefeated stride. Rivals first, lovers last.
Though really, he should have seen that coming, too. Based on personal experience.
(Or: Ego looks at Rin and Isagi and sees an echo of Noel Noa and himself, fourteen summers ago.)

Summary
It has always been difficult to grasp exactly who Ego Jinpachi is. Noa thinks that perhaps he will never really know. Sometimes, Noa likes to think of Ego as a wounded animal, always letting him in close enough for survival but never enough for familiarity.
Noel Noa experiences many firsts with Ego Jinpachi: his first rival, the first person he visits the Eiffel Tower with, and the first person to call him a piece of shit to his face.
Coming face-to-face with Ego again, fourteen years later at the commencement of the Neo-Egoist League, helps Noa to realise that the word first is sometimes synonymous with the word irreplaceable.

Summary
Satoru.
Sendai streets, skies streaked golden with the sun, silences that stretch like scenes lost to time.
Satoru.
Sitting together under the sad sun, skin stained with blood, smiles that ache of home.
Satoru.
Suguru's body, soft with a soul that does not belong to him.
Or: the five times Suguru says his name.

Summary
Blade calls his name again, and he’s forced to look back up, eyes burning. Always burning. Fire into fire. He’s been here too many times before and he knows how it always ends. Blood and ruins and always ash.
“Tell me,” Blade says, voice low, “what am I?”
Dan Heng sees the face of a man who died a long time ago, eyes soft with the promise of better beginnings. Dan Heng sees the face of a man who never dies, eyes harsh with the sins of kingdoms long fallen. White into black, white into red. Dan Heng sees himself kneeling on the ground with blood on his hands kissing a dead man back to life.
“A monster?” Blade asks. His lips linger an inch from Dan Heng’s ear and this time Dan Heng doesn’t push him away. “Or just a man with the mask of a monster?”

Summary
A swordmaster covered in ash and without a name. The smile of a dead man he kisses back to life. A General bleeding rage and loss through the cracks of already-broken armour. The quiet despair of a warrior on borrowed time. The sins of a fallen God transforming into silver shackles against mortal wrists.
There’s still too much to atone for.
There is always a price to be paid, Dan Heng knows.

Summary
The sledgehammer rests against the wood, and the blade moulds itself into a drawknife, smoothing the broken edges down.
Still splintered, Kaveh thinks, but it cuts differently now.
Maybe this time, it’ll leave less of a scar.
Kaveh doesn't expect to find himself at Alhaitham's doorstep on his birthday, but the universe has never been particularly fond of him.
For all his misfortune, though, at least this one doesn't go to waste.

Summary
“You came,” Cloud Retainer says by way of greeting, settling down in her seat. The wine jar before her has been empty for centuries, but she has never made any move to fill it back up. In a way, it doesn’t feel right.
“I always do,” he responds.
The last day of the year is here.
Centuries have passed, but he remembers it all the same.

Summary
“I’m glad you’re here,” the bard replies, his voice soft, faltering, but melodious still, filled with that little light chuckle, as though nothing’s wrong. Barbatos thinks that if he closes his eyes and listens to the sound of his voice he may be able to pretend to rewind time back on its axes, back to when they were singing songs to the wind and the lyre’s tune. “I was waiting for you.”
Something in Barbatos’ heart swells and then withers. “Sorry for taking so long.”
Sorry I couldn’t save you, he wants to say.
Can we go home now?

Summary
“There’s a legend that says Watatsumi dragons are reborn once every hundred years,” Kokomi says softly. “Do you believe in legends, Sara?”
No, she wants to reply, but crowned in just the right shade of crimson and post-sunset light, the world is dark enough to strip away the remnants of anything holy, enough to reduce her beliefs to fine dust and forgotten prayers, stripped bare like bone in the cold of this unforgiving night.
“I'll believe in yours,” she whispers.
