(Or: Wolfgang tries on a very different type of outfit than usual as they both get ready for the christmas party. Grace is very normal about it.)

Summary
Backed against the door, he shrinks a tad. Make up to him? Wasn’t working overtime the whole week enough? His mind reels through the possible things he might’ve done wrong. It comes up blank.
“Make up…?” he asks, hesitantly.
The chef is all smiles. His hand is gentle as it caresses his cheek, plays with teal strands, but beneath those cold eyes Shin only feels like cattle under a butcher’s mercy.
“You wasted my meals today.”
An avalanche of fear crashes down his spine. So it wasn’t just paranoia, after all.
(Or: Shin makes a small mistake during his shift. Hiyori makes sure it doesn't go uncorrected.)

Summary
This too, will fade, buried under piles of white not too long from now. And then the flowers and green grass will peek from the earth when the snow finally melts as well. It’s gradual, the change of seasons. The passing of life. It’s new, different, unfamiliar and overwhelming. It’s proof that she’s alive, that she’s finally free to enjoy the world so many others she once knew could not, and she doesn’t quite know what to do with that yet.
(Or: Years after despair had come to an end and the world has begun recovering, Iroha takes a moment to enjoy the autumn.)

Tags
Summary
Her eyes crinkle as she takes him in, full of amusement and glee she doesn't bother to hide. "I'll think about it~" Her playful tone doesn't provide any comfort, but he sighs regardless. He's too used to her antics by now.
"What are you doing here, anyway?"
"What? Can't a girl visit her favorite echidna on a beautiful winter night? I'm hurt!"
His gaze narrows. "You know what I mean."
(Or: On a cold night on Angel Island, Knuckles receives a familiar visitor. He's not really complaining, though.)

Summary
Her gaze stays fixed on him, hopeful and expectant, before lowering to her own cup. The teabag bleeds the liquid crimson.
“Ida reminds me a lot of you,” she starts, lifting the cup to take a sip.
A quizzical stare, a familiar sight. “Mhm? How come?”
(Or: Fubuki and Yuma enjoy some tea over banter and books. She doesn't really know much about maintaining friends, but surely some detective fiction is a safe topic of choice, right?)

Summary
“What do want from me,” he asks instead, cold and toneless.
“You? Oh, I don’t want anything from you,” he sneers down at him, “You’re not what I want, but since you’re here I’ll have to settle for now.”
He disappears out of sight again— opting to actually walk, this time. “Besides, you might turn out to be very useful.”
(Or: After saving Sonic's life for the price of his own, Shadow finds himself out of the bottom of a pit and in someone's lab. Nine seems to have other plans for him, much to his dismay. He can only hope that Sonic is safe out there.)

Summary
It’s raining, the ceiling is leaking, and without her obnoxious voice to fill the silence, the torrent against the building continues to rage in tandem with the static in his head as he marinates in his lassitude.
(Or: On the run and in hiding, Shobai and Iroha squat in an abandoned building for the night.)

Summary
"Are… you really sure about this, K-...Boss?"

"Be specific," he replies flatly. He makes an effort to remain consistent around an audience.
Teruya's voice shakes with uncharacteristic nervousness. "B-Bringing me here…'' he stutters, ''Are you sure you want me here?''
(Or: Two of the most important Kisaragi Foundation members are on their way to a business meeting. Teruya's confidence starts to shake as they near their destination. Kinjo decides that a little pep talk is in order.)

Summary
It’s a sunny day today. It always is, Shin couldn’t help but think. He looks out the window while resting his cheek against his palm, allowing his mind to wander some place else after the tedious lessons of the day. It’s nice outside, even though his introverted nature and shut-in tendencies and pile of unsubmitted homework renders that unimportant. But he appreciates it all the same, the sight of the sun, of nature, of everyday life and scenery— all these mundane and constant things spark inside of him a powerful emotion for which he has no name, far more powerful than they logically should. One part of him wonders why. Another part, a tiny voice, can’t bear the thought.
(Or: Shin and his best friend slash crush Maple hog an empty classroom to do their poetry homework in after their lessons are over. He thinks, not for the first time, that the world doesn't feel right. He doesn't want to dwell on it.)

Summary
"Oh? What could you be thinking about, I wonder?"
It’s not a question, he reminds himself. He knows better than that.
"I was…" thinking about you probably isn't the best way to end that sentence. He wouldn't admit something like that to even Maple, but especially--- God forbid--- not Hiyori. He'd never let him live it down. Torn between showing his hand and backing down entirely, he decides to settle for ambiguity. ''... thinking what it's like to not be human anymore."
(Or: An AI and a doll discuss their artificial existence and their humanity-- or lack thereof, really. Hiyori isn't an ideal conversation partner, though.)

may we embrace death by Cosmic_Tides

Summary
Truth be told, she didn’t know what she expected.
Experiences create memories which create identities, as far as she was concerned. Giving up your memories might as well be committing suicide-- the empty husk you leave behind won’t be you anymore regardless. Surely he realized the gravity of that, right? She couldn’t wrap her head around it-- and she tried, she really did!-- but alas, such rash behavior might just be part of human nature she’ll never comprehend. If this guy was unhinged enough to seek out the supernatural, a death God, crossing that border between life and death just to doom his unsuspecting future self to kill criminals without consequence, maybe there really was no method to his madness. Maybe he was just that crazy.
Maybe there was nothing to understand. Nothing at all.
(Or: Shinigami thinks about Number One, about Yuma and about what lies ahead of her now that they're officially partners. She thinks about a lot of things. So, so many things.)

Baking memories, one treat at a time by Cosmic_Tides

Summary
She's been like this for some time now— face and palms pressed flat against the glass as she watches the white confetti strew over the vicinity, cloaking the world in a milky, pale blanket of wintery goodness as the scent of freshly baked cookies permeates the air and provides a mellow warmth in contrast to the cold outside. It doesn't take much to impress her, and the sight had her abandoning her decorating and skipping over to the window in awed delight, leaving him to decorate the remaining confections by himself.
Not that he minds. Such are his brotherly duties now, after all.
(Or: Over baking cookies and sibling banter in the midst of winter, Shin considers his relationship with his newly found sister and his value in her life.)

Summary
She doesn't react, hands on her knees as she struggles for air, shuddering and panting underneath the exhaustion, the consequences of her powers. For a moment, he thinks she didn't hear him. He lifts a hand, hesitant about reaching for her, but her voice, worn down and small, reaches him first, barely audible over the downpour of raindrops.
"Y-yes…" she huffs. Her eyes, partially obscured by light blue bangs, remain fixed shut. "Although I am a bit tired and my mind is a little hazy…"
A fresh spike of guilt stings his heart at her words, spreading to the rest of him. She shouldn't be here.
(Or: Fubuki and Yuma, drained and exhausted from the last 24 hours, prepare themselves to encounter Shachi and put an end to the bomb threat hanging over Kanai Ward.)
