    Summary

    “You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”

    Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”

    The rain continues falling.

    (And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.

    And Olruggio forgets.)

    There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

    Summary

    I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

    Summary

    Tooru remembers awed words coming across the net from the little red-headed menace, the boy with rough technique but incredible ability, who kept all of Seijoh on their toes, who watched Tooru on the court not with fear or a bristling need to prove superiority, but with unadulterated excitement. Just as he is now.

    Well, Tooru laments, so much for appreciating from a distance. He wants to wrap his hands around the bare skin of Hinata’s arms, pull this boy close, and feel that joy thrumming in his veins.

    Two former rivals uncertain about their futures, meeting by chance on a beach and helping each other realize that they’re going to be just fine

    Summary

    Really, Oikawa-san? You know, you could always just stay here with me for a bit!
    Oikawa violently beat down the grin trying to spread across his face, and swirled the water around in his glass as if it were a fine vintage. You know, shorty-pie. I’ll think about it.
    And that’s when it was agreed upon.


    Oikawa Tooru slips, tumbles, and falls into the beach, and later the suddenly-very-well-muscled arms of his old high school rival. Cue emotional whiplash.

    Summary

    Yami Yugi withdrew Yugi’s present from the bag. He was right: it was a card game. But it wasn’t Duel Monsters.

    “Ah yes,” Yami Bakura said, “From the ancient Kingdom of Castile.”

    It was Uno.

    (Yugi has a party. There's also Monopoly.)
