    Summary

    Ilia kisses him, quiets him. His teeth click against Mikhail’s brace brackets. When they pull away, gasping open-mouthed, he feels guilty. They are born the same year, same age, six months apart, but the braces make Mikhail look childish, naive, hopeful. Ilia wants to bite them, wants to snag his teeth in the wires to feel at least something.

    “You wanted this, didn’t you?” he sneers, to smother his own guilt. “Coming to my room just to make yourself feel better.” Mikhail nods quickly, dumbly. His eyes flicker everywhere except to Ilia’s own.

    Summary

    It’s summer break. Vitalasy’s back on the server, three candles are lit, Zam’s a girl, and Eclipse Federation is (very tentatively) back together. Only one question remains: two years after their first attempt, who can build the funnest room ever?

    or: the Eclipse Federation happy ending I never thought I’d write.

    Summary

    When Pearl was sixteen, she had a family for the first and only time in her life, and she sat on a desert porch with her feet in the dust and listened to the hum and chatter of two people she loved and felt the buzz of an oncoming thunderstorm in her skin, electric pop and sizzle like firecrackers in her fingertips. These days, she just feels the rain creak in her joints.

    But she’s never been able to say no to Etho.

    -- Tango's missing. With nothing but a partially-redacted journal of notes to go off of, Etho and Pearl set aside thirteen years of distance to find him.

    Summary

    Wilbur looked at Tommy, scared and looking just a bit smaller than moments before, and realized he missed him so fucking much.

    He grabbed the carton beside him and flipped it open. There was one last cigarette inside. Before he could think, he held it out towards Tommy. “Do you want to try?”

    Objectively, this wasn’t that bad. He’d gotten Tommy to produce and sell drugs with him before. They were far past the tacit laws of what a minor could or couldn’t do that existed in a world that was now out of touch.

    That said, Tommy had boundaries. Wilbur should’ve anticipated how bad of a look this was for him, yet still found himself startled when Tommy recoiled with a, “What the fuck!? Eugh, no!”

    Wilbur wants to smoke with Tommy, just once, for the sake of bonding or proving a point or something or other. Tommy, unfortunately, is very reluctant to the idea.

    Or, how Wilbur Soot started smoking again.

    Summary

    According to Tommy, death leaves you touch-repulsed and aloof. That's why it's so surprising that Wilbur Soot, post-resurrection, is one clingy, touch-starved motherfucker.

    Or: Wilbur copes by cuddling. Tommy's the one who has to put up with it.
