    Summary

    “this is probably karma for saying you're the biggest bird when you're not." Parrot murmured jokingly, mostly to fill the silence,

    Theo made a sleepy noise of confusion, and an expression washed over his face that was untellingly full of remorse.

    “No it's not.” He murmured.

    This was karma for leeching onto Billy for refuge, allowing himself to be guided by such a creature, and taking out his frustrations on innocent players as the shoebill had taught him to do. How he allowed Billy to strip away the sliver of humanity he had left to pour it with even more violence.

    Or

    Sickfic but not really but yes really but like theres more to it than that

    Summary

    But it’s not—it’s not fair, he didn’t know—!

    He should’ve had more time—he thought he had more time—

    He can’t just…just die like that—like a bug, like something so useless it could be thrown away as soon as it isn’t needed—like a lost cause

    “Contracting with a mace is one of the worst things you could ever do, Wemmbu. Like, no matter the circumstances, no matter what happens, don’t do it.”

    Wemmbu chokes out a laugh, bitter and broken, his tail curling uselessly around his body.

    He’d never been good at listening to Mane, had he?

    Or:

    After the war with Law is over, Wemmbu discovers he has seven days left to live.

    This is how Wemmbu chooses to spend the last seven days of his life.

    Summary

    “Consider how this looks. The Senju proposes peace at the height of their power. The Uchiha, already losing, don’t have the resources to match the Senju. If the Senju provides us with food and armour, the Uchiha must become subordinate. Is that what you think of as peace, Senju? Over at the Uchiha compound, we call that subjugation by the most powerful.”

    “It seems that there is only one possible solution: the Senju must choose a symbol to subjugate itself to the Uchiha to balance out the scales. For that role, I volunteer myself.”

    The wise ones know: fires can warm and not burn; and rivers, if given strength and permission, will carve the land.

    (Or, the one in which Tobirama becomes Madara’s concubine, and peace is won and held through neither power nor love, but food, water, clothes, and medicine.)

    Complete.

    Summary

    “You’re not a very hard guy to catch, you know.”

    Golden armor. Crimson accents.

    “Avery.”

    And it’s different this time. It isn’t it’s you. It isn’t I found you. No, it’s—

    “You’re alive,” Avery says, a little breathless.

    Or, Avery finds himself reliving New Year’s Eve over and over, but he’ll try as many times as he has to if it means he can save Derek.

    Summary

    Derek slumps in his chair. After so long, he closes his eyes. A smile reaches his lips. Tears well and pour. His pulse stops in a rhythm. His life is slipping, and the universe floods his eyes. The stars, the earth, all of history, all that will ever be, aliens and starships, occultism and symbols, every language across the known realm; It's too fast to comprehend, but the beauty brings him to breathlessness. The king's screams echo through the chaos.

    Somewhere, out there, right there, right here, Avery cries. Derek knows he's mourning. The hope, the hopelessness, the love, the betrayal, the grief, he willingly feels it all. He looks through the house. Avery's mother is watching the ball drop, His sister and brother bicker over alcohol. Fireworks thunder outside. Derek revels in the celebrations. He won't get another. Avery's sobs are drowned out by the noise below. He extends his oblivion-touched hands, but cannot reach him.
