Summary
"The Tsaritsa, the children, even Pierro. They see the Father, they see the hearth that burns but never consumes itself. They do not know how tired you are of the wood you must provide to keep the fire going. They do not see the one who just wants the fire to go out so she can rest in the dark, away from the eyes of the world."
or; Columbina comforts Arlecchino.

Summary
The first time it happened, she dismissed it, assuming she had simply gone mad. The second, third, and fourth times, she did the same. But eventually she started paying attention to the words, and learned things a maddened mind shouldn’t have been able to conjure on its own—information she should have had no way of knowing, delivered straight from cold, stilled lips. By the first time the voices materialized into a tangible shadow for someone else to witness, she had already accepted her own sanity.
It hadn't taken long after that to learn how to tune them out. Dead people hardly make for good conversationalists, after all, and these particular voices had little worth listening to in life either.
Even so, there will be bad days. There will be days when more than just a handful of voices resurface, when their weak, fading moans turn into an overwhelming tide of pain. There will be days the dull ache in her charred arms sharpens, the heat beneath her skin stirring into something hotter, more unbearable. Even those days she has learned to cope with.
Today is not one of those days.
Today is worse.
Or
Arlecchino has a bad day. Furina makes it better.

Summary
“You are sure?”
The Knave has no stake in the former Archon’s choices. Regardless of what happens, the outcome, whether it may be good or ill, will not affect her. But still… to erase a life, to destroy the very essence of a person and let another one usurp their place… It feels damning, sacrilegious even. A mockery to all that was sacrificed.
So she asks, one last time, even though she knows the answer. One final attempt, to save a soul beyond saving.
The former Archon stares back at her with eyes that have long since given up on hope.
“What have I got left to lose?”
---
After the trial of the Archon, Furina comes to the Knave with a desperate plea- erase 500 years of memories for a chance at the life she never had. Arlecchino agrees and suffers the consequences.

Summary
Passion is said to be a flame, but the girl is merely a collection of dying embers. Winds scatter the cinders — perhaps they will find some kindling, perhaps they will ignite — but for a very long time, she is but a pile of ash before ever getting the chance to truly burn. She is not sure she wants to.
Even so, the wind continues to blow.
—
for as long as she can remember, peruere has been burning.

Summary
(Set before the events of Fontaine’s Archon Quest.)
Wriothesley has worn the Duke’s mantle for barely a year, long enough for the shine to fade. Each passing day leaves him more disillusioned with the system he’s sworn to uphold. When whispers of an organized trafficking ring slip under the Garde’s notice, the case strikes too close to memories of his own past for him to ignore.
Far above Meropide, Arlecchino is still shaping what it means to lead the House of the Hearth. Her justice has never been the court’s justice, and the law has never been her leash. Someone else has.
Their paths cross in the shadows. Though a Duke of Meropide working with a Harbinger sounds outlandish, it hasn’t stopped their predecessors. With the Iudex bound by procedure and the Knave bound by her own loyalties, Wriothesley must decide whose vision of justice he’ll follow… but the one outside the law seems far more capable of getting results.

Summary
Zanka Nijiku—nihilist, pessimist, misanthropist—lives his life on a single mantra: love is bullshit. Nothing but primitive bursts of passion that interfere with the symmetry of an otherwise right-angled world.
This offends Heaven; and so naturally they do the only logical course of action:
Send down a cupid and force him to find love.
(Or, Jabber is an angel sent down to help Zanka find love, and Zanka wants to end it all.)

Summary
Zanka stared at Jabber as though he didn’t quite understand.
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away, duh,” Jabber said like it made perfect sense.
"Ha ha,” Zanka deadpan. “That,” he took a deep breath, “... is the lamest joke I’ve ever heard.”
"Thanks,” Jabber grinned, holding out the apple. “Will you take it?”
A love (?) story between an assassin and a prince, entwined with three tales about apples.

Summary
Enjin, in a moment of rage and weakness, slams his fist into the wall and very nearly crushes his choker. “Are you fucking serious?! Your brother died, and you’re–”
“He’s not dead,” Goka snaps, his frustration evident, “But Kyoka ‘n’ I are the only ones that believe it.”
Zanka went missing nearly two weeks ago on his way home from an interview with the newscaster Mymo. After intensive investigation, remnants of his choker, blood, and his treasured Lovely Assistaff emerge as the determining evidence of his death– of Zanka’s suicide.
However, there are those who know how the system works, how easily people slip through the cracks. There are those that refuse to believe that Zanka wanted to give up on himself, and there is one who is certain Zanka wouldn’t go down without a fight.

Summary
"GREAT! Just great! As if this could GET any better!" Zanka bites out, seething. Of course he's stuck here, injured, in a damp, dirty cell, and of course he's stuck here with fucking Jabber of all people.
Jabber whistles appreciatively, "Man, you're in a mood today. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" and cackles at his own joke. Zanka's gonna strangle him. He's gonna rip out those bars with his bare hands and use them to beat Jabber to death.
or
Zanka is taken by some people who want to study givers. Jabber is there too. This somehow makes everything both better and so much worse.

The Train Horns Blare (and i beg you not to go) by zillyzee
Fandoms: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
25 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
The whole almost destroying Hell and Heaven thing left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths. Luckily, Vox received a train ticket for a perfectly relaxing business trip.
He’s dedicated the next few weeks to planning for everything since then, but there’s some odd decisions he’s been making that leads the Vees to think otherwise.
Nevertheless, the horns keep blaring, and the train tracks whistle his name.
or
Vox is okay, and his trip will make sure of that.
(Delusion is a man's best friend.)

Summary
In the chaos that follows the botched Extermination, Vox is smoking like a chimney, which is probably why it takes him quite so long to realize that something is actually wrong with him.
The carnation petals are a little harder to ignore. He's not sure if the color has some sort of symbolic meaning, but it doesn't matter a hell of a lot when you get right down to it, when they're streaked with your own blood.
Vox knows what this is. He also knows how this one ends, and perhaps, all things considered, that wouldn't be the worst possible outcome one could imagine.

Summary
“I came to see you.”
The words left him more quietly than he intended. They hovered in the air between them, fragile and strangely intimate— Like a confession disguised as duty. France’s eyelids lowered, a faint scoff escaping him as he leaned his head back against the arm of the couch. “How sentimental.”
It wasn’t said with his usual lightness. The sarcasm was brittle, exhausted, as if he no longer had the energy to sharpen it into a proper blade.

Summary
Seventy years later, a bottle of wine and the nature of heroes.
"The voice spoke of resistance and hope; it was strong and manly. The half-dozen weeping Frenchwomen huddled about the radio cabinet where they had been listening to the bulletins of defeat and surrender ceased for a moment in their sobbing. Someone had spoken for France; Petain always seemed to speak against her, reproachful with the cruelty of the impotent."
