As if there's more to flesh out by muzzlemess (rustywrites)

Summary
It shouldn't be happening. It's impossible -- like properly impossible, not just Spiral impossible. This door isn't even real, much less actually made of wood but --
The latch snaps under their combined force and the door swings inward, somehow, rather than outward and both of them pitch forward and fall.
There's a sound not unlike a lightbulb burning out.
(A time travel AU where everybody lives and nothing is fixed.)

Summary
Annabelle Cane had seen a lot in her life. In many ways, that was a key part of her job -- to watch from a distance, to carefully and invisibly course correct. This meant she was arguably one of the most well informed people in the world, outside of The Beholding and its know-it-all cronies. But even then -- on a good day she'd be happy to go toe-to-toe with someone like The Archivist just to see who the real ceaseless watcher was in all of this.
Not that she'd ever stoop so low, and not that she'd ever be so petty. But she could hold her own, if it ever came down to it, and she kept that fact very close to the tangle of sinew and spider web that made up her heart.
(In which Annabelle Cane takes an accidental interest in the unexpected connection between The Distortion and an arsonist)

Summary
"Will you tell me? Not now, but -- I don't know, someday. Do you think you will?"
"I--" a long pause, a ripple, a radio in between stations, "I don't know. I'm not sure I can."
"Hm." A hum, a nod, hands carding through hair that isn't hair, "well, that's alright. I guess 'someday' and 'never' are functionally just two different ways to say the same thing, huh?"
"Now you're getting it," a kiss that tastes like 36-hours without sleep and the sound of neon lights turning on.

Summary
"Then what is my concern, Michael?"
"A great many things, I'm afraid." Michael offers, after some apparent consideration. That makes Gerry laugh because, well, yeah, no surprise there.
(An AU where Gerard Keay is more important than he realizes, Michael is forced to cope with the horrifying ordeal of being known, Elias Bouchard has a plan, and unfortunately for all of them, so does Gertrude Robinson.)

Maybe they balance each other out.
Maybe it's polarity.

Summary
There's a bright light, bright enough to blind you even through your shades, and then there's pain, sharp and sweet and swelling like a wave crest crashing against a metal pylon. It hurts more than you anticipated.

Summary
There are times when you feel like you really knew him, as if all those old newspaper clippings and magazine articles and videos of interviews have somehow congealed in your memory to form a physical person.

Your television never taught you how to deal with this.

Summary
He says, “I’m just glad they’re happy” but somehow it just comes out “I hate how much it hurts” and she swallows hard, saliva and gin, takes a shaky breath and says. “No, don’t” but it comes out slurred together and sounding like “I know, I know, I know.”

Summary
The Game ended almost seven years ago. Two thousand some odd days. Sixty one thousand hours. Three million minutes. Seconds, microseconds, nanoseconds, infinitesimal moments that pass the in flicker of an eye and say 'don't worry, don't worry, it's far away now, so far and getting further.' But time has a way of catching up with you, even though you're not a knight and you're not a god anymore.
(You never were a hero, that much hasn't changed.)

Summary
“Visiting?” Her voice was sharp. She had the air of a very old fashioned librarian about her.
“Yes,” Nelson responded first, pulling his hands from his pockets as he approached the desk. Rolf remained several paces out of sync with him, and silent.
“Name?”
“Byron Lewis.”

Summary
He remembers Clu smiling, his yellow-orange disc glowing dangerously, poised for a blow that he didn’t deliver.
He doesn’t remember much after that.

you keep track of your lost life and I'll keep track of mine by rustywrites

Summary
It’s the realization that those forevers you promised yourself a lifetime ago have passed you by somehow. They never tell you that in school at story time when you’re crowded around your teacher with your folded legs; cheap carpet biting your knees. They never tell you that eventually you’re going to run out of time.

Summary
It's been three years but it feels so much longer than that. It feels like you've had some giant part of your life amputated out, torn away and put on display in a museum somewhere. Very far away. Five dollar fee for the audio tour of one teenaged boys fucked up life outside of paradox space.
