    Summary

    It’s a nice life, Madoka decides. Being reincarnated, that is. She has a calm, normal life, no aliens coming down and offering her a wish for her soul.

    (Madoka refuses to use the word ‘boring.’ Sayaka uses it at least once a day.)

    Summary

    Ratio tapped the pick-up option on the screen and put Aventurine on speaker.

    “Aventurine, you’re on-”

    “Hey, babe,” Aventurine’s voice echoed around the board room, bouncing off every surface possible, resounding much too loudly in everyone’s ears, “Just checking, you’re still coming over tonight, right?”

    Everyone went dead silent.

    ◇─◇──◇─◇

    Ratio puts Aventurine on speaker during a meeting with the IPC. In hindsight, he should have warned him first.

    Summary

    "Old friendships became scattered to the winds, and enemies were either captured or dead. Only memories remain. Fallen generals don't have to endure such torment, but those who survive have to go through it all, no matter how great a vision one has dreamed of and no matter how many overwhelming enemies one has defeated, time will always reduce one's strength little by little yet cruelly spares one's life, leaving one cowering in a corner and hating one's own powerlessness.

     

    Only the truly wise can stand proud in front of the undefeated enemy called time."

     

    But there is only so much he can stand. There is only so much the general can do.

    He is but a man. Who had weathered through heartbreaks and tragedy and death. He is not invulnerable. He is stronger than most, he is after all, the only one who was left. But even the cliffside must yield to the sea. And Jing Yuan had finally yielded to time.

     

    or

     

    jing yuan succumbs to mara

    Summary

    They shatter so gently. 

    Sweetly.

    Whispering, “I love you,” to each other as they hold the other close and fall to pieces.
    Izuku looks into Shouto’s eyes and thinks that endings can sometimes be beautiful.

    It's quiet, at the end. It's only them, and the sky that holds them close.
