    Summary

    He is floating in some space between life and death, and it might be the first time in his life that he feels truly, genuinely, content. The person he’d once been - and the name does escape him, it’s been a while since he’s used it - had thought he knew what contentment meant. He’d certainly been happy before, but oh, it didn’t compare, couldn’t compare, to the contentedness of death.

    The cosmos is vast around him, enveloping him like the warmest of hugs and leaving him bare at the same time. He is touched and not touched, he is breathing but not, he is floating and yet moored in place. It is an existence of beautiful, wonderful contradictions.

    Noctis comes back to life after the events of FFXV and has a terrible time about it.

    Summary

    “Look up there,” His mother said to him, her voice low and pleasant to his ears as he obeyed. He felt such an intense surge of wonderment filling him, the type that only a child could feel, as the stars stretched out into the far beyond.

    He had reached up towards them like they were close enough to touch.

    The sky had been filled with them, back then. Countless specks of lights dominating the black canvas, leaving no part of it barren. Even behind them there were colorful streaks and blotches, as if the sky itself could not contain its magic.

    “They will be here long after we are gone”

    “Really? Won’t they lose their light someday?”

    “No. They are so much more than we are. So very special. We owe them very much.”

    Many of the stars he had known then were now gone, and there was no color left behind. Instead the sky was now an endless sort of void.

    So much for eternity. He thought, only a little mad. To think that I would outlive the stars after all.

    Or, Ahkmenrah learns about light pollution.

    Summary

    Mike isn’t sure what he was expecting, when he fishes the magazine out and looks at the cover. Maybe something boring like… machinery, or maybe fishing, some typical old white man stuff. He didn’t expect this.

    Immediately Mike regrets every decision that has ever led to this point in his life. He feels warm all over; a hot, sticky feeling that spreads all at once from the deepest pit in his gut and out through his body, to the tips of his fingers. The temperature in his face increases by several degrees.

    This is a porno-mag, he recognizes, through a daze of disbelief. More than that, it’s a gay porno-mag.

    Mike 'accidentally' learns about some of Mr Afton's peculiar tastes, and decides to make a series of bad decisions about it.

    17:22 Wright: Did you bring me a gift? [Winky face emoticon]

    Miles froze, thumb hovering over the little keyboard. There was a sudden cold sweat on his brow. He’d been gone a week, a week, and not on a single day had he considered that he should have gotten Wright something.

    Summary

    Jun-Ho raises his head from his computer. Around him his colleagues bustle about, a pleasant buzz of white noise surrounding him.
    His supervisor is frowning at him. It is a sight that he is more than used to.
    “You busy?” His supervisor asks curtly.
    Jun-Ho glances at his computer screen. It begs for an update in a small pop-up in the bottom right. He clicks the small, almost hidden X on it.
    “No.”
    “Good. We need someone to go check out the top floor of some shitty parking lot.”
    “Squatters?”
    “Something like that. Apparently a guy keeps parking there, day after day. People find it creepy.”
    “But they haven't done anything?”
    “Other than just sitting there? No. But you never know. Could be a druggie.”

    Freshly recovered from his time in a coma, Jun-Ho feels lost. With his search for the island becoming increasingly hopeless, and feeling more alone than he ever has, he has no idea he'll soon meet an old stranger.

    Summary

    “You do not scare me, McCullum.” Reid said quietly. “I’m sure that this is a new concept for you, to not be feared. To be seen as something… harmless.”
    McCullum’s breath caught. He tried to not seem affected.
    “Harmless might be a bit of a stretch. I’ve nearly had you killed before”
    “And yet I won.”
    Neither blinked, gazes locked. The scent of blood cloying around them.

    A restless night. Another encounter. Further revelations. The road to acceptance is a hard one.

    Summary

    The graveyard was as miserable a sight as always. During the epidemic, it had been a hot-spot for the type of beasts McCullum felt his fingers itch to strike down. Now, it was empty. The monsters left in London nowadays were smarter things, capable of hiding, of stalking, of thought. They knew better than to stick around a place like this, especially now that the Guard were back in their usual numbers.

    But there was one not so wise beast, and it was as much waiting for McCullum as McCullum had been waiting to catch sight of it, as he strolled in-between the graves of the long forgotten and no-longer grieved.

    There were a few minutes in which McCullum did not approach the figure up ahead on the stone path. The doctor stood shrouded in shadow- though that wasn’t quite right. Shrouded implied that the man was capable of being hidden by them, rather than being a part of them. It was a difficult distinction to make, but McCullum was trained in spotting the differences.
    Dr. Reid was not shrouded by the shadows, no. He was dressed in them.

    Summary

    “He’s an idiot.”
    “He is not.”
    Stonefur regarded the large, gray Thunderclan cat failing to fish in their river, his paws clumsy as he helplessly tried to swat a fish out of the water. The tail of the fish hit his face instead and swam away without harm, leaving the gray warrior sputtering in its wake.
    He looked at his sister, and Mistyfoot looked momentarily awkward. Her pale blue-gray fur, so similar to his own, bristled under a mellow breeze.
    “Well-” she said, slowly, “he’s not a complete idiot.”
