    Summary

    There's one thing that everyone agrees on. The little Knight, also known as the Ghost of Hallownest, the Vessel born of God and Void, the Lord of Shades and the Holder of The Eternal Cycles, is strange.

    How strange? Well, they always seem to be in places they aren't supposed to be. They can tell you the history of that one particular bench in great detail in one moment, and run straight into a wall they swore didn't exist the next.

    Every step they take is calculated, dancing through the broken kingdom as if they owned it. Every breath they take is measured, their back hunched, as if carrying a great weight.

    Their movement sharp, yet "words" soft. Always willing to bring you to safety, but will not hesitate to cut you down, should you ever stand in their way.

    You know, you aren't supposed to refer them by that last title.

    In fact.

    You're not supposed to be even reading this.

    A time loop/regression fic that asks two questions;
    What does it take to get a perfect ending, and who will you bring with you?

    Summary

    Things… change.

    Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.

    …And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.

    Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

    Summary

    Exploration of the concept of Skills in Disco Elysium. Will swing wildly between angst and a more humorous tone.
    Technically both works can be read on their own, but I would really suggest you read both in order.

    Also, keep in mind english is not my first language - doing my best.
