    Summary

    The woman in the sunglasses, the one Death has only ever heard referred to as miss and ma’am, leads them down the dimly lit hallway to the room.

    As always, the Clerk is belted down around his waist. As always, the woman in the sunglasses hands Death a dagger. As always, she inclines her head towards the bed and says, in clear, unaccented English, “Have fun.”

    Summary

    There has to be someone. There has to be someone you can trust enough to tell. Maybe they’ll even let you feed on them, if you ask. You’ll never do it without asking. You’ll never turn anyone without them asking you. You just want to stop being hungry. You just want someone to trust you.

    Or: five scenes of people learning that Apo has been turned, and one where everyone already knew.

    Summary

    This is an allegory for what happened to you, and it is exactly what happened to you, no allegory needed.

    Summary

    Caleb goes to Astrid's house, but it is Eadwulf that answers the door. He was expecting a conversation. He was not expecting to be pulled upstairs and into Astrid's bed and lovingly taken apart piece by piece. They missed him, after all.

    Summary

    Caleb expects to be let go once he stands. What he does not expect is to be drawn into an embrace, pulled against his old friend’s chest and held there like he is something precious. Broad fingers brush through his hair before coming to rest on the back of his neck. From behind, a slighter hand alights on his hip, other arm sliding around his waist, as Astrid hooks her chin on his shoulder. For a moment, they just hold him there, gentler than a creature like him deserves. The rise and fall of Eadwulf’s breathing is almost enough to lull him into a sense of safety. Once, this was a common way to calm him down.

    Astrid noses at his ear, kissing the side of his neck in apology.

    “Come home with us?” she asks.

    Summary

    Upright, the Star represents hope, inspiration, contentment, and renewal. Reversed, it represents hopelessness, despair, and a lack of faith.

    Summary

    “You’re spiraling.” Ranboo’s voice cuts through his thoughts, punctuated by a squeeze to his hand. Tubbo takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly. He glances at them out of the corner of his eye, realizing somewhat belatedly that they have, as they always do, made sure to sit on his good side. His heart flutters, which also makes him feel like a teenager, but not in the panic-inducing way. “C’mon, Bee,” Ranboo says. “What’s going on with you?”

    “What if something goes wrong?”

    It's the night before Michael's bar mitzvah, and Tubbo can't stop stressing about it.

    Summary

    “Just–” Party rakes a hand through their hair, tugging at the roots, a noise of frustration ripping from their throat. “Anything. Fucking anything, man. Tell me– tell me all the fuckin’ horrible shit you’re gonna put me through in rehab, threaten me, tell me sweet fuckin’ nothings about how much Better I’m gonna be.” They snarl, baring their teeth. It’s what cornered animals do. Zone rats are no different. “Go on, talk fuckin’ dirty to me, Mr. Scarecrow. Tell me allllll the shit you wanna do to me.”

    Trapped in an abandoned building at the tail-end of a dust storm with the man they know is going to kill them, Party Poison begins to spiral.

    Summary

    “Pretty good view, huh?” Puffy says from above her, combing her fingers through Niki’s hair, visibly content to have her lap used as a pillow. Niki looks down the plane of her own undressed body, left in little more than a bralette and pair of low-cut panties, at her older self. The other Niki smirks, eyes dark and lidded, and kisses her younger self’s thigh.

    (or, as summarized in the original conversation, "inventing a new kink called your punker and more confident self from a few years in the future shows up and fucks you")

    Summary

    Day 31: “Even with the smallest cuts. You can still lose so much blood.” | Rescued by the Enemy

    “Sylas.”

    Sylas Briarwood, against all odds, stops and looks up, pulling his mouth away from Percy’s neck. Percy’s not quite sure when his extremities went numb, but he’s almost certain Lord Briarwood’s grip is the only thing keeping him upright.

    “What?” Lord Briarwood says. Heeled boots click across the stone floor, getting closer and closer. “A man needs to eat, Doctor.”

    Summary

    Day 30: “I’m putting my trust in an entire half-empty glass.” | Burn it Down | Mirror | Confrontation

    Sometimes, Zoeya thinks about what life was like before the Endfall. She doesn’t do it often, it doesn’t do her any good, but sometimes, she looks in the mirror and thinks back. Sometimes, she sees the rebel girl, the hacker. Sometimes, she sees the technomancer apparent. Sometimes, she sees the princess on the Twilight Throne. Sometimes, she sees the girl from before, the forester.

    Most of the time, though, she just sees herself.

    Summary

    Day 29: “I hope you see the sun someday in the darkness.” | Last one Standing | Broken Dishes

    “It won’t leave me alone,” Party whispers, strangled, “and it doesn’t even– speak, it never speaks, it’s just– images.” Jet takes another careful step forward, kicking away the shards of broken plate with his boot, quickly scanning the scene. No blood. Just a broken plate and Party, pale and trembling, breathing shallow, eyes wide and pupils pinprick-small, their hands clutching the sides of their head. “At least– At least She has the bolts to tell me I’m gonna die, big fuckin’ robot out in the desert, goddamn– should just– fuck, it won’t shut up–”

    “Who?”

    “Destroya.”

    Summary

    Day 28: “I could always see straight through you.” | Backstabbing | Creative Restraints

    Day in, day out. That’s what it’s been. It’s been day after day of the same shit, the same sunburn, the same portents, the same fuckin’ ravens and crows and goddamn visions. They’d get the same effects if they ran off to become a wavehead. They’d get the same fuckin’ effects if they became a witchwalker. At least they can tell Her to fuck off, and half the time, She actually listens. Nah. Nah, right now, it’s the fucking Destroya whispering in their ear, and the bolthead doesn’t even speak in words.

    Day 27: “Would you even want me, looking like a zombie?” | Bedside Vigil | Concussion

    She looks so small. That’s the only thing Pyro can think about in this moment that doesn’t make him unbearably sad or fill him with blinding rage. It’s that, here, on the white, sterile bed of the servants’ sickroom, Ivory looks very, very small.

    Summary

    Day 26: “Nothing like a relapse to rehash the kid who was scared.” | Relapse | Drawn Curtains

    Rythian keeps the doors to the master bedroom shut. The curtains around the four-poster bed remain drawn.

    It’s fine. It’s fine, he tells himself. He doesn’t need her. He doesn’t need the castle’s beating heart, the thing that made him feel human, he doesn’t need her. What he needs is to focus.

    He just needs to focus.

    Summary

    Day 25: Left to Die | “I hear you’re alive, how disappointing.”

    Across from you, in the manorhouse absolutely owned by his fiancée and not by him, sits your brother, a teacup in his hand. (Above you, in the basement of the townhouse the two of you rent, stands your brother, who had served you tea not an hour earlier.)

    In the party's first confrontation with Fredrick-Gilbert, Teodore thinks back on the last time they saw each other.

    Summary

    Day 24: “I must confess that I feel like a monster.” | Came Back Wrong | Painful Transformation

    You’re no stranger to pain. Most pain, these days, does not even register to you. You watch the angel blood flow into your arm, but it is not until a second later that you feel it. The reaction is sudden and all-consuming. One moment, you are somewhat uncomfortable, the next it feels as though your entire body has been set alight from the inside-out.

    You are becoming something else.
