Summary
"The weak must be purged", she hisses. Alone here, in her motherland. In a paradise that became an ugly ruin before she was even born into it. This is a warzone. This is a prison. This corrupting, corrupted place is enemy territory. But what does that matter? She is made for fighting, isn’t she?
Jasper survives. She goes mad with it. Those two are not mutually exclusive.

Summary
Rin was six years old when his father went off to sea and never came back. He was six years old and held his little sister’s hand at the back of the funeral procession, all clad in sorrow and white silk. He was six years old with people telling him “it’ll be okay son, it’ll get easier to bear eventually”.
Somehow, he thinks, it never did.
Toraichi Matsuoka died on that stormy summer night. They had buried an empty casket but the grave was overlooking the sea, so it had to count for something, right?
A story about family and dreams and learning to breathe when the world crumbles around you.

Summary
Hikari dreamt of being back in the dark world. Of ink black oceans and charcoal smog. Her ears ringing with the sound of waves beating against a colourless shore. Her own heart hammering in her chest.
She woke, and her bedroom was bathed in morning light.
(Takeru had ripped dimensions apart to find her once.)

Summary
Let’s talk about Link stepping out of the temple. It’s a strange thing, remembering something that hasn’t happened. He steps out of the temple and the street musicians are playing the same song that they did when he left, the bakers baking the same loaves. He comes back and the only thing that’s changed is himself.
An OOT epilogue.

Summary
(or: what if the dark!raph story line hadn’t been over quite so quickly?)
no one sees that night on the rooftop when raph’s foot presses down on his thoat, his blade lifted and aimed at his jugular. no one is there to see the way everything just goes silent – or the way leo swears he sees raph’s hands shaking on his weapons before he slips out of consciousness.
(when he wakes, the roof is empty apart for a worn piece of red cloth pressed into leo’s hand.)
