    Summary

    With gritted teeth, he scrambles away. He fights well in enclosed spaces, open ones, underground, underwater, and everything one can think of, but he can't- he wasn't prepared. Combat Masters are always supposed to be prepared, know what fights to take and when to run, but he wasn't. He wasn't any of those and he doesn't know where Lomedy is, he's bleeding, and there's the sound of wind gushing as he's-

    Pop!

    The totem on his bracelet is gone.

    He throws another one on in an instant.

    He's on half a heart and the sound of wings beating the air sounds more like a threat than he's ever heard. Not even when Wemmbu takes off does it rumble in his ears and scares him to the bone. He has half a second to eat a gappe that wasn't in the right place, but he somehow makes it before those same talons dig in to skin once more.

    Summary

    There's a million what-if's, and all it leads it back too is Flame and Wemmbu sitting under a metal structure in a blizzard with nothing but each other and fire for company.

    Wemmbu, who's taking a swig of a drink Flame isn't even paying attention to, sighs next to him.

    "You know bro, out of everyone, I thought it would've been Egg out here with me."

    "With how attached by the hip you guys were? Yeah bro, it would've been him, you, and me."

    "You? Nah man, just Egg and I."

    "Sure," and Flame drops that topic there as he grabs the bottle from Wemmbu's hand and takes his own sip. It burns, going down, but it warms his insides as more snow falls atop the broken roof above them. "You one of them, Wemmbu?"

    "Nah, not me. You?"

    Summary

    Death loves Life.

    He loves to watch him kneel in the soil and move it away with his hands, how he buries the sees with a little pat to the top of them before being covered. The other's hands and face are covered in dirt, dirtying his bandage that Death had applied not long before.

    Summary

    There's been a few gifts, though. None of them carrots, but small things, little things that Evbo has ooo'd and ahh'd over, such as little bracelets with chips of diamond in them, or even cuter figurines made from stone.

    He knows where they've came from, of course. Fallen players, small rocks that litter some of the floors of the sword area, and various other ways Evbo doesn't want to think about, but he knows of them all.

    And sure there's another gift waiting outside his door that he has yet to grab, but he… really wants to know where his carrots keep going. Has someone been stealing them?

    Has his gifter taken them back?

    Summary

    Flame takes off his armor the second he's inside and flops onto the couch like he owns it. Which he does, considering he helped him build it. Flame helped him craft a lot of things in his house, and maybe that's why he spends so much time here.

    Well, he hopes it's partly because he enjoys Lomedy's company.

    Either way, Lomedy appreciates the fact he remembered that he desn't like armor in the house, but it doesn't douse his own worry as Flame's tail seems frozen stiff and his ears on constant alert.

    Summary

    The mace connects with his shield, something he didn't even realize was happening until Wemmbu was landing next to him and throwing another hit towards his face. He doesn't know how he blocked it with his sword in time, but with how low he was-

    He needs to breathe. He needs a place to hide, if only for a moment.

    Flame throws a pearl. He wasn't paying attention to where he threw it, too focused on blocking yet another hit, but he trusts his body. Wherever he threw it, he knew it will provide just enough breathing room to eat, to heal, to throw another taunt towards Wemmbu-

    Summary

    Oh what if Scott is one of the few that do know it? He seems traditional, after all, he would know in an instant that Pyro made the nest only to fit one! He'd probably even analyze the nest, would come and briefly touch the blanket that wasn't added in yet, and ask in that tone of his: "Not for two, Pyro? Nesting in my den and yet it's only for one?"

    And Pyro would stutter, would grab the blanket from his Sire and bare his fangs ever so slightly, "Y-yes Sire, just… felt safer here?"

    And he could only hope that Scott would laugh that beautiful laugh of his, grab Pyro's wrist to rub at his gland—making him shudder, making him whine softly—and bare his own fangs in return. "Well, I'm glad to hear that!"

    Summary

    "It's a soulmate mark," and he pauses after he says that, expecting shock, excitement, disgust, anything than the blank look that their Sire gives. "Was born with it, thankfully, and it's still here! S- so… surprise?"

    Scott doesn't say anything. But there's a look in his eyes that they can't quite place, something deeply hidden underneath the indifference, something that Pyro would love to say only he can ever notice.

    It's something that Pyro wishes they could see more of before his Sire simply… turns him back around and shoves him into another scratchy, uncomfortable shirt.

    Summary

    "You mean that?"

    "…Yes?"

    "Then sure, we can be each other's."

    But they didn't get the chance. Because he's cursed. He has to be. There's no other reason why he lost yet another potential suitor, another person he cares about, another goddamn person he couldn't save no matter what he or anyone did.

    Summary

    She was in the shower when she started to feel a little too hot. Even turning down the temperature didn't help, the freezing cold not even giving her a single shiver or goosebump. Which was concerning; this only happened during a very specific time of year, and that physically could not be happening.

    To go into rut, she would need to have a den, a mate, and somewhere she felt incredibly safe to hunker down and do nothing but cuddle and purr for a week straight. And bite. And hoard. But she… she should not be feeling this way here, not in this place where her den is a measly guest bedroom, a few blankets, and a pillow that smells distinctly of rain and all Cass that makes her salivate-

    This shower isn't helping one bit.

    Summary

    But how is he able to do that when it's his own goddamn mate? It's Flux, he can't- how is he-

    "Sure, Saps, we can do that." It seems Flux has none of the reservations he does when he all but launches himself at him and tackles him to the ground. They both grunt, the air being knocked out of them both as Saps takes a deep breath of that metallic scent he loves so much, can smell his own salt water scent mixing in and-

    Summary

    Schpood doesn't quite know how it happened, not really.

    One day, they're cuddling in his nest, and the next day, 5pyder is pinning him to his nest and gently biting the glands on his wrists with a quiet purr. He doesn't know how he ended up biting one of his in return, giving his own purr that fits so, so perfectly with 5pyder's.

    It must be something instinctual. It's the only thing that makes some sort of sense. It- he- maybe he should've been more invested in those biology lessons growing up, or those "Courting 101" classes that don't… exist, but that doesn't matter! He's Schpood, he knows it'll come to him at some point!

    Maybe. Hopefully.

    Summary

    And then he was gone.

    And now he's... back.

    Back with a look in his eyes. It's something akin to recognition, but also not quite. A little to the left, or to the right, or something in between, similar to those moments spent in silence with Ferre.

    He doesn't know if the other remembers him. He hopes he does, hopes that they can- he doesn't even know! Evbo thinks it would crush him if he doesn't remember, and he hopes that for once in his very, very long and painful life, whatever is looking over him gives him this one mercy.

    Just this once.

    Summary

    It wasn’t everyday that the Archmage of the Kingdom of Fools walked up to someone and threw an entire gold ingot at their face. It also wasn’t everyday that the King of the realm picked up the fallen thing, examined it in his hands, and threw it right back.

    And it certainly was not everyday that the Archmage caught it and threw it back before running off with a delighted laugh.

    Summary

    “Do you really mean it?”

    “‘Course I love you,” he says after a long moment, humming. “Why wouldn't I?”

    “‘Cause I can't love you in the same way,” A beat. “Duh.”

    “You're so stupid, Sneeg,” he chuckles, a hand rubbing up and down Sneeg's back.

    “Hey! If anyone's stupid here, its-”

    “-You, yes, I'm so glad you agree.” Sneeg flicks Clown, smirking at the offended noise he gives. “That wasn't very nice.”

    Summary

    “My friend!” Did he almost throw the tiny medical hammer at Evbo's head in fear? ….No. “Brought you food! Eating is the most important thing humans can do.”

    “Saying that like you aren't a human, Evbo.”

    “Who says I am?” A blank stare. “Kidding! You know the check-ups would catch if I was an Impostor. Anyway, here's your lunch!”

    He takes it slowly and rests it on the table next to him. Taking off his helmet, he gently sets it on another table before picking back up the food and eating. Bland, almost tasteless, but lunch usually wasn't the best of food anyway. That was reserved for breakfast, which he, depressingly, skipped. And he couldn't have asked Evbo for it - the lime-suited crew seems to sleep through breakfast and skips almost every single one of his meals.

    Summary

    “Saying that as if you're not weirder. Have you seen and heard the things you say and do?” Sneeg scoffs, rolling his eyes as a hand curls into Pangi's hair to tug at it. “It's so… have you ever thought why it was us?”

    “Maybe you should let go of me if you want a normal conversation.”

    “Maybe,” but he makes no move to do so. What would Pangi look like with his throat slit? Would he keep the smile still? Would he laugh through the pain? Would he crumple and cough and stare at Sneeg until he bleeds out? “Aimsey and Ros make sense, given… everything about them. Foolish and Bad, too. But us?”

    Summary

    His mouth feels full of cotton. It takes a moment for him to swallow enough to get some sort of moisture back in it, to be able to form the words he wants to, and even then.

    Even then he doesn't mean to say “Can you let go of me?”

    “Huh?”

    “You heard me,” he starts loudly, before he quiets. “I want you to let go.”

    “But you were the one that-”

    “I don't care, Sneeg! I just want you to let go. Please.”

    “Alright man, no need to get your panties in a twist.”

    He still doesn't feel right.

    He wants to throw up.

    Summary

    The next day (6 days, he repeats, 6 days, one more before the time limit), he gets to the last jump once again. He stares long and hard, eyes threatening to double and blur. He shakes his head, praying to both the Parkour God and his soulmates that he’s right about this, and jumps.

    Or: Evbo is on a mission to find his soulmates and become a champion. Preferably the first one.

    Summary

    (He released a breath. He doesn’t even know when he inhaled - it’s usually something so conscious that he can catch it everytime.

    He didn’t this time.)

    Branzy takes a step forward. The smell of blood beckons him ever closer, the sight of Clown all the more enticing. And who was he to refuse? He’s just a vampire, just a man. He stops only a foot away, staring up at him.
