    Summary

    The Prince’s eyes refocus. Against his cage, a leaf of paper is plastered, blown by the breeze. Perhaps the unfortunate pilgrim had it in their cloak?

    The paper is torn at the bottom, rendering the writing there illegible. Still, the image itself is intact.

    It’s a butterfly.

    Or:

    At the end of the world, the Green Prince of Verdania stumbles across a Pharloom theatre, and its leading man.

    Summary

    Lace's rebellion against her mother fails. When Hornet is abducted from Hallownest, there is nothing to disrupt her bindings long enough to allow her to break free of the Envoy's clutches. She finds herself imprisoned alongside a dirty, frayed thing that tells her it can help her take vengeance... if only she helps it escape the Cradle first.

    Summary

    Robert slumps into his chair, headset half-on, the SDN bullpen still humming with the last dregs of the night shift. The coffee tastes like battery acid, but it’s the only thing keeping his eyes open.

    Then the comm crackles.

    “Hello, Robert.”

    Phenomaman’s voice, flat as a gravestone.

    “I would like to learn about intercourse from a human person.”

    Robert chokes on his coffee. Why is this his life?

    Summary

    Shinji knows the countdown intimately. 
    Even with his eyes closed, his body knows its point in space—recognises the tilt, the angle of suspension. Feels each movement around him, the slow immersion of the pilot plug. The sharp hiss of hydraulic satisfaction.
    The head-rest braces him firmly. Tenderly. He is in his father’s hands, here as everywhere.

    A plotless little warmup piece I recently found in my WIPS. Why the heck not?

    Summary

    Shinji is a school kid with nightmares and a loving mum. Asuka is a school kid with nightmares, too, but her mum isn't loving so she plays arcade games instead. Rei is a school kid with orange bathwater and patches in her memories. And Kaworu – well, Kaworu is the strange new student who knows far more than he should.

    This is how, slowly, it all starts to crumble.

    Summary

    Kaworu leaned in to kiss Shinji again, but Shinji was screaming. A mix of emotions flooded his chest, yet he remembered that Kaworu loves him before anything else. Kaworu loves him. Disgust took over and he bit down the inside of his cheek, a poor attempt made in hopes of hiding discomfort, tears flowing.

    He was supposed to be afraid, but he wasn’t.

    Summary

    University student Shinji finds that books & assessments are less intimidating than kind, charismatic housemates with silver hair & red eyes (& an allergy to shirts). But he's gotten used to envying Kaworu, wishing to be like him, & it won't stop them being best friends. Everything's fine just how it is, really -- nothing missing, nothing confusing, nothing else Shinji could possibly want or imagine or change. Nothing at all...

    Nanami Kiryuu has been nothing but irritated by Utena Tenjou ever since they first met. That was why she was always going out of her way to complain about Tenjou or jump into a conversation just to talk about Tenjou or was always found close to wherever Tenjou was causing trouble. It was because Utena Tenjou was annoying, nothing else.
