Summary
“What do you think happens when we die?” Spoke asks, after the shapes cast by the firelight fade and coalesce and become shadows again.

Summary
Flame just reads. And the sun rises slowly somewhere that is not here, and the owl hoots lowly, and Ashen snuffles softly, curled up at Lomedy’s feet.
“I’m not gonna get replaced,” says Flame, after a long silent time, and in the flash of a second Lomedy’s gentle farmer hands close around the knife he keeps under the bed.
-----
Lomedy, Flamefrags, and the server-before-unstable.

Unconventional Mechanics by box_of_fidgit_spinners

Summary
“Hey! Hey, hey, hey. Mister, are you a jellyfish? Only, you look like a jellyfish.”
“Mmfgh,” Egg says, which translates vaguely to good sir, could you possibly inform me as to where I am and what that strange particulate matter in my feathers is and have you seen my purple weapon of mass destruction?
“You’re silly,” says the stranger, which Egg takes to mean no— welcome to hostage-town, angel boy.
When the world resolves itself into discernible shapes and colors, the first thing Egg clocks is a dark-haired boy in a straw-hat silhouetted against the noon-day sun.
"Hey, hey, Mister Eye-man," the straw hat kid asks. "Do you poop?"

Summary
King Parrot watches dispassionately as Reina sets up her tools; pliers, a flint and steel, a waterboarding basin. All the tools of brutality.
"Prisoner--" he starts.
"Lomedy," hisses the prisoner. "My name is Lomedy."
"Prisoner," Parrot continues. "If I were you, I would say now is a good time to start talking."
---
The captive that King Parrot & Co. take from the battle of Merchant City is strangely insistent that he knows Flamefrags. Not that it matters, because Parrot doesn't really care about lying low-level soldiers. All he wants to know is when and where Cindercrest will attack next. And he'll do anything to protect his Kingdom.

Summary
Lomedy’s pride and joy is a flower garden. In the spring, he plants tulips bulbs everywhere. Then the summer perennials, then his sunflowers for the early fall. It’s all marigolds and baby’s breath, black-eyed susans and bee’s balm and birdsfoot tricolor, purple-yellow-and-white. Lomedy takes care of it like his child, pruning and watering, tending to it in the hot summer afternoons.
In that garden is a gravestone.
-----
Flamefrags, Lomedy, and a fever.

Tags
Summary
Flamefrags wasn’t built for this… easy domesticity. Sweetberry pancakes and waking up slow—he’s not used to this. He was built to fight; to hold an enemy down and slit their throat; to break and bruise. When he touched somebody it was because he was going to ban them. When they touched him—if they touched him—it was ‘cause they wanted to kill him. He’s a fighter, through and through. And this isn’t a fight.
He never really learned how to be gentle.

28 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
Wemmbu scrunches up his nose in distaste. “No.”
“I didn’t even say anything, bro.” Egg lets his sad, pathetic stare do the work for him.
"We don't have time for a festival," Wemmbu sighs, but even as he does, he's already taking Egg’s hand. It was a lost battle from the start. Egg always wins.
----------
Egg, nightmares, a festival, and his stupid idiot best friend.

Summary
"Never trust anybody," said Mane.
And when he said it he didn’t say it like a lesson; like he was telling Flame not to track mud inside on the floor or to stop catching frogs or to put his rainboots on before going outside. He said it like a warning.
"Pinky-promise me," said his brother. "I want you to live. Trust no-one."
-----
Flamefrags, trust, and Lomedy.

The Thing With Feathers by box_of_fidgit_spinners
Fandoms: Unstable Universe (Web Series)
22 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
“What do you mean you have an ancient map to a forgotten civilization,” says Wemmbu, sitting on one of the roots of his tree-base, sharpening his sword on a hand-held grindstone and listening to Eggchan talk some genuine nonsense.
“Were you not listening,” Egg says. The feathers of the wings around his head puff up. If Wemmbu were less versed in Egg body-language he would not know that this means frustration. Unfortunately, he is. Fortunately, he can just pretend he isn’t.
“No, bro,” he says. “I was. I just need you to run it back, ‘cause you sound insane.”
----
Egg and Wemmbu embark on an adventure of Parrot-esque peculiarity. Maybe the real treasure is the friends they made along the way.

Summary
“Mayyyyyypicc,” Spoke croons, draping himself over his best friend’s lap like an expensive blanket. They’re laying in the shade of a shaking aspen, and when the wind blows cool and gentle over the field it rattles the leaves above them.
“Whaaaaaaaat,” replies Mapic, drawling out the inner vowel just as long. He takes one of the ribbons of Spoke’s rainbow headband in his hands and fiddles absently with it. Spoke watches the color flicker for a moment before he smiles.
“What do you know,” Spoke asks, sweetly. “About worship?”
