Summary
“He’s seen your face. We can’t afford for him to live.”
“He’s an essential part of Operation Strix. He dies, Yor will…she’ll leave. The cover will fall apart.” Even to his own ears, his rationale had broken down.
-----
In the sewers of Shellbury, Twilight miscalculates. With the fate of Loid Forger's brother-in-law hanging in the balance, WISE's top agent and his cover wife, the deadliest assassin in Ostania, now face grave perils and impossible choices like none they have ever had to endure before.

Summary
“You sound like a mortal.” She said, with the faint glimmer of amusement in her eyes. Zagreus chortled too, but then fell silent. Nyx gave him a knowing look. “What is it, my child?”
“You said the curse is tied into my godhood, right? What if…” The words tasted unnatural in his mouth, a blasphemy before they could even take shape in the air. Zagreus coughed them out regardless. “What if I could shed my divinity? What if I became a mortal?”

Summary
It matters not how many times 9S is reset, waking with the blank innocence of a newborn. His nature compels him to pursue the forbidden, and he would reenact the same three things: uncover YoRHa’s lies, fall in love with 2B, and die to her sword. On and on the cycle repeats, a cruel fate from which there is seemingly no escape. If only freedom weren’t a contract writ in blood and tears, and signed with their very souls—

Distantly, Twilight realizes this will be the last time they ever do this.
A decade’s worth of training to control his emotions barely silences that thought. If he starts counting his lasts with his family, he’ll drive himself mad.
One more day, one more hour, one more moment. As if anything less than a lifetime could ever be enough.

Summary
Mikasa crumples onto her hands and knees, panting hoarsely. When she glances up, she notices a pair of heavy, black boots. Her eyes slowly lift upwards, trailing over woolen trousers and a dark, fur-lined coat, before lingering on the metal insignia that dangles from his neck: two feathered wings crossed over each other.
The Scouts, she realizes, fresh horror dawning over her. Witch-hunters.
Or:
What happens when a witch and a witch-hunter are forced to rely on each other to survive the snow-blown wilderness. And what comes after.

Summary
“Stop crying,” Eren had demanded of her, just minutes before he boarded his ship. Mikasa remembered that day with a painful clarity: the hardened resolve of his expression, the gruffness of his still-deepening voice. The leather trunk that had sat heavy between them. Even though he’d stood right in front of her, everything about him screamed of his impending distance.
It had surprised her how willing he was to go. To leave her. To leave Armin. To leave her. Did the notion of their separation not pain him? Did it not stab into his heart and twist it until he couldn’t breathe?
Was he so different?
Or:
Four years ago, Eren Jaeger left his home with the intention of making his fortune. Upon his return, Mikasa Ackerman is dismayed to learn that her friend has changed beyond recognition.

Summary
Her pretty mouth pulls into a frown, but the eager shine of her eyes betrays her. She steps back as he crowds her, stopping only when her back meets a covered wagon, the white tarp stained with blood. Eren’s red hands find her hips and he effortlessly lifts her onto the ledge. He keeps his fingers near the tops of her thighs.
“You’re filthy,” she says. Their eyes lock. She regards him with a certain wariness, as though he’s temptation personified at her feet; a bad decision waiting to happen. Eren doesn’t mind. In fact, he’s always enjoyed playing into her worst expectations.
Or:
Eren and Mikasa are gods of war.

Summary
When Thanatos falls in love with the kingdom's trouble-making crown prince, he is not expecting it will amount to anything more than a passing infatuation. He is also not expecting to be made the prince's bodyguard, and he is certainly not expecting the prince will ever love him back.
Thanatos, it transpires, is wrong about many things.

Summary
Five perspectives on Thanatos and Zagreus as they fall, and in the aftermath.
“He's not leaving,” Thanatos bites back. “There's nowhere to go.”
Ah, the words of a god. To Achilles’ once-mortal eyes, there are cracks and open windows and doors with just the right key and escape routes aplenty from the House. “So you'd think. I guess wherever he goes, you'll be seeing him either way.”
Thanatos turns to him and it's as if this had never occurred to him. “What do you mean?”
“Didn't you tell him? It's a hard world out there. I’m sure he'll find out, and I don't know anything that can bleed that doesn't wash up here eventually.”
