Summary
Joker wouldn’t be thinking about Akechi at all. Akira can’t seem to stop, despite the fact that Akechi has betrayed him so fundamentally that thinking about it for too long is enough to give him a panic attack. One way or another, Metaverse or no, Akechi’s going to shoot him in the head, for fuck’s sake. Akira should be furious. Akira should be terrified.
Akira is just desperately sad.
Akira and Akechi, 24 hours before and after the events of 11/19.

Summary
He’s always believed he knew what he was capable of, but it had only been in terms of the chaos he could incite and the pain he could inflict. He had molded himself to that belief. A dog to be kept on a leash, a monster to be chained, an aberration to be studied. He’d never considered that he was capable of anything else, because he was already capable of far too much.
Sephiroth, with one more chance at life, settles into life as a farmer. Then, Cloud shows up.
Do not need any prior knowledge of Stardew Valley to read.

Summary
“Look, Lan Zhan told me, and I paraphrase, ‘to have fun with it’.”
“Uh-huh,” Nie Huaisang says with perfect skepticism, befitting someone who had been friends with Wei Ying for the last ten-odd years. “What did he actually say?”
“‘I trust your judgment,’” Wei Ying says.
“Tragic,” Nie Huaisang says, shaking his head.
Lan Zhan hires Wei Ying to build a website, but fails to email Wei Ying any designs. Wei Ying decides to have a little fun with it and gets in over his head.

Summary
His fingers begin their bleeding early tonight, so he allows himself one more full refrain. He will sleep outside, beside Wei Ying tonight under the glow of the moon. Wei Ying, he calls. Are you Wei Ying?
And then, it comes.
When Lan Wangji comes out of seclusion, he tries to find Wei Ying's body and lay him to rest. He finds something else instead.

Summary
“Wake up,” he says to his body, alarm making him itch. There’s no response. He says it louder, and then yells it, trying to drift forward. He can’t move. He’s curled over his own body, staring down at it, without being able to do anything.
From inside Burial Mounds, Wei Ying’s mind reaches out to those he’s left behind.

Summary
Something, equal parts wariness and weariness, stirs in Olruggio’s eyes whenever Qifrey makes some reference to the future — when he indirectly promises a tomorrow, a next week, an ‘after your commissions are done’. It’s the subtlest thing, a flicker, a spark; someone who knew him less well might not pick up on it. But Qifrey knows Olruggio as well as he knows himself, and he can hardly in good conscience begrudge him his flinch of cynicism. Not when it’s wholly his own fault for having put it there.
Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice, still shame on me. Fool you thrice… well, if it’s any consolation whatsoever, I was fooling myself most of all.
-- -- --
The night Qifrey returns to the atelier for good after his wandering days — old promises kept, new promises made.Bookmarked by aceofbasedesires

Summary
"Speaking of ateliers," Tetia said, "it's been ten years since we graduated."
"Nine," Agott corrected. "Next summer, it will be ten."
Tetia smiled. "But I might be away then! What do you say to an early reunion? Come on, Agott, it would be fun! When was the last time you saw Master Qifrey and Master Olruggio? We can ask Richeh to come, too!"
Thirteen years after Coco passed the third test and moved back to stay with her mother, Agott returns to the atelier.

Summary
The hands at his waist grip a little tighter. Qifrey, who has been cautiously opening himself to this kind of physical contact in the past few months, has been surprised to discover that he likes it—being held, pressed, kept tight. It stokes the part of him that is terrified of being trapped, just enough to keep him from relaxing.
It’s precisely this interplay between comfort and uneasiness that made him consider the possibility of using it to their advantage.
(Or: an exploration of trauma, healing and acceptance, of settling into one's own skin, and of what it means to make a home in one's heart.)

Summary
And of course there is an instant, after that first warm touch of Olly’s lips upon his own, where Qifrey feels a terrible tingling sensation within him and remembers his parasite. Where Qifrey remembers his silverwood, the tyrant that rules his body with an iron fist, and thinks, with a sinking sense of foreboding, that he is risking its awakening and his own impending death with this decision.
And then Olly’s hand flies up to bury itself in Qifrey’s hair. And then Olly’s arm wraps around his waist, and pulls him in flush against Olly’s chest. And then Olly’s tongue sears hotly across the seam of Qifrey’s lips, and Qifrey parts them for Olly’s entrance with a moan.
I love you, he thinks, and he remembers who the real tyrant is. The silverwood may one day take Qifrey’s body, but there's only one being in the world who rules his heart.
~*~
On the last night of the Golden Eve Festival, Qifrey and Olruggio share a bed.
