    Summary

    What kills in The End is the cold. That dark and encompassing numbness—gently cradling you into that goodnight—which freeze-dries your bones and shrivels the soul. In The End what killed Mapicc was loyalty.

    Summary

    His eyes never left Saparata's. There was no pleading or fear in them, nothing that Saps would expect from a man in his position, just level determination, like he was trying to see through Saparata’s eyes into his brain, like he could hear his thoughts if he stared hard enough.

    So Saps stared back, unwilling to be the one to back down, to look away. Once, maybe, when they were friends he would have, he would have made some joke to ease the tension and let Fluixon win. But that was a lifetime ago, and he wasn't that person anymore. Neither of them were.

     —

    After being on the run for about a year, fate seems to lead Fluixon back to Saps, again. And Saps is a little sick of it. And yet, here he is, insisting he be the one to take Fluixon prisoner. Because really, if anyone kills Flux, it should be him. But does he even want to anymore?

    AU where Saps never sends that message to Flux, they never fight in the arena, and Saps has to figure out exactly what rebuilding a life means.

    “Sometimes,” Wemmbu starts haltingly. Quiet. “I still remember the way you laughed after he hurt me.”

    Egg is very still by his side. His breaths, slow and even, blend into the sea breeze.

    Summary

    Flux drums his fingers against the table, not meeting his eyes. "People tend to say stupid things when they think they're about to die," he says.

    "You didn't mean it, then?"

    Some undefinable expression flits across his face before it settles back into stony impassivity. "I thought you called me here to discuss, oh I don't know, the endless loop in time that we're both stuck in, for some godforsaken reason?"

    Saps exhales long and slow through his nose. Fine. They don't have to talk about it. He can ignore the small, naive part of him that had hoped they might come to some sort of understanding. That had thought maybe this loop could be their second chance.

    Or, Saparata is stuck in a time loop, reliving the Battle of Infernus over and over again. In order to break out of it, he needs help from the one other person trapped alongside him: Fluixon.
