    Summary

    This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;
    And to do that well craves a kind of wit:
    He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
    The quality of persons, and the time,
    And, like the haggard, check at every feather
    That comes before his eye. This is a practise
    As full of labour as a wise man's art
    For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
    But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.”

    - William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

    Lucretia feeds their history to the Voidfish and scatters her friends down in the world. What she hadn't considered was Taako not forgetting at all.

    Summary

    Taako wasn't supposed to give a shit. He was the one who could push for the hard choice in their group, who could turn away from a world and let it crumble to dust behind them. He'd done it twenty one times now, doing it once more shouldn't be an issue.

    This was all the beach year's fault. That damn ocean had worn away the sharp edges he'd had in place to protect himself from shit like this, and he hadn't been able to build them back up in time. He'd never admit it, but kids had always been a particular soft spot for him.

    And Angus was a brat, but fuck, just this once Taako didn't want to leave it all to dust in his wake.

    Summary

    Kravitz had dealt with many liches and other undead abominations in his time, and at the core they were all the same. Even those that turned themselves with good intentions eventually succumbed to darkness. He'd been a reaper for a long, long time, and there had never been an exception to that, not with liches.

    And yet he was still here, talking to this lich and finding himself wanting to make a deal. Wanting to make an exception.

    There was something about Taako that was different, and he wanted to help.
