You are Thaisha Lloy and you have never been more tired. Your dreams after that harrowing night at the Palazzo Davinos do not seem to care about this fact.

Summary
This could not be a more obvious trap.
Julien knows the truth of it in his bones, and yet he can apparently do nothing to stop the only living person he still cares for from willfully stepping into it.
(the next twenty-four hours of Sir Julien Davinos's life)

Summary
Alogar could already be dead by now.
Thaisha is digging through a linen closet for extra blankets though because Lady Aranessa Royce needs somewhere to sleep. Because her last host had their skull removed. Because the Palazzo Davinos has apparently already been swept clean of everything but memory. Julien Davinos stands next to her, still covered in gore, but his freshly cleaned hands are held at the ready for the stack of deep red quilts she manages to unearth. The blankets have been perfumed with lavender and sage from the family herb garden, and some of the dried leaves have escaped their sachets and scattered across the stitching. It's fine. They’ll do.

Summary
Jinx composes another text to Ekko while Viktor tilts his head back, pinching just below the bridge of his nose to try and mitigate his latest nosebleed.
"Hey Not-So-Little Man! Excited to finally see you in person soon, so glad you decided to join J-Tech just before the world ends. Still sure you don’t want to switch your entire field of study to xenobiology? There’s still time! Maybe. Probably. Me and Viktor get one (1) whole entire room to ourselves for K-Science’s humanity-preserving research, but I’d be happy to carve some space out for you next to the sequencer. We’ve got lots of new samples from Mutavore needing in-depth study. You know you want to see some (very dead, super dead, totally dead) Kaiju up close and personal. I know that you know that I know that you do."
A Pacific Rim AU.

Summary
In which Viktor is convinced to stay, at least long enough to procure a pair of trousers, and Jayce attempts to avert the apocalypse with the power of love and flowcharts.
But the anomaly still spins beneath the Hexgates, the arcane still bleeds into the waterways, foreign armies still come calling, and sister cities and sisters still need healing.

Summary
Your current state is now, for all intents and purposes, terminal.
You will never be anything more or other than this, not ever again.
*
You are Occtis Tachonis, and you are dead.

Summary
He - he said he was going to see her later. Shit, did he specify an hour? It's been more than an hour. She's going to be so mad at him. It's not his fault; he makes a point of keeping appointments, once he's made them. He's always anxious at the thought of breaking a promise. He rarely makes promises, frankly, because when he does, he likes them to actually mean something.
But Thimble can have any promise from him she'd like, given the friends of it all. Occtis doesn't have a lot of those, these days.
***
As things get worse, Occtis's mind goes wandering.

To Warm The Cold And Hollow Places by Angel Ascending (angel_in_ink)

Summary
“I never really sleep anymore,” Occtis hears himself saying. He tastes salt on his lips as he speaks, and it tastes how food used to. “I close my eyes and four hours passes in a blink, but I don’t feel rested. I’m surprised by my reflection in mirrors, but I’ve almost stopped flinching from the self I don’t recognize. I’m not hungry but I need to eat, otherwise my mind slows and my body begins to fall apart. What I eat I can barely taste. I can’t decide what I miss the most, the feeling of being rested or the satisfaction that comes from eating a good meal.” Occtis tries to stop speaking, but one more phrase makes it out on the last of his breath. “There’s a hollow place where my heart was, and it’s always cold.”
----
Occtis tries to come to terms with his new (un) life.
