    Summary

    Hikaru doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get any of it.

    Some days, it feels like Yoshiki just wants as much distance between himself and Hikaru as he can get. Other days, it’s like being away from Hikaru would kill him. Hikaru can’t tell what’s gonna set Yoshiki off or not, and it’s not like looking at the memories would help. He got moody like this before, but only when Hikaru tried to talk about girls or Yoshiki leaving one day, and never for as long as he does now.

    Is he doing something wrong?

    “Hey, Yoshiki?” he calls ahead. “What d’ya reckon we should do for my birthday?”


    Or; ‘Hikaru’ celebrates his sixteenth birthday. Hikaru doesn’t.

    Summary

    The most awkward thing about it all is the stupid Get Out smeared across the wall in bioluminescent garbage, along the far wall across from the entryway, prominent in its placement. Handprints are peppered beneath it, dragged down as if through blood. If it wasn’t so overstated, so fucking cliche, maybe it’d make his stomach turn—or maybe it wouldn’t. It’s hard to tell these days, the things that hit his hindbrain versus the things that don’t.

    “This,” Nicholas says, gesturing at the wall, “is embarrassing for the both of us.”

    The thing haunting the house doesn’t have a name that he knows, and Meryl hasn’t given one if she’s privy to the information. So it’s just the Haunt, and Nicholas, and the desert that’s hiding them both.

    The Haunt drags a hand-shaped force through the faintly glowing text, spiteful in its delivery. Underneath it, something else begins to come alive, the letters bigger, the strokes broader, two fingers wide instead of one.

    Get. Out. Underlined for emphasis. Circled to make a point. And beside it, a frowning face with angry eyebrows—a child’s threat.

    Summary

    So, Meryl has another problem. Every time she ends up in close physical proximity to Milly, she makes a complete fool of herself. So far, the sight of Milly Thompson going about her day has caused her to spill beer on herself, trip over a rock, walk straight into Vash, choke on her dinner, and, most memorably for everyone in their little traveling crew, nearly drive them into a ravine. And that’s while Milly was fully-clothed. There’s no telling what she’ll do with Milly sweaty, glowing, and half-unclothed less than two inches from her.


    In which Meryl contends with her huge crush on Milly over the course of a long, hot afternoon where Milly seems to be doing everything in her power to remind her just how attractive she is.

    Summary

    Once Upon A Time, there was a Queen, and a King, and a castle, and a kingdom. And then, one day, there was a child. And then, many year later, there was a Prince. The only problem was that everyone thought he was a Princess.

    Summary

    He woke up cold, shivering in the sweat sticky on his skin. Already he felt drained, sharp sparks of agony racing along the edges of his consciousness that told him one of his sisters, one very close, was being pushed toward her end. Vash could feel it. Every time.
