    Summary

    All was quiet and still but for the wilting tinsel shifting minutely in the tiny draft at the window frames. The bar was deserted - as dead as a doornail, you might say.

     

    You're a Christmas-hating bar owner with the world's most annoying regular - the sort of idiot that goes around with a 'Merry Christmas' and a goofy smile on his lips. In your opinion, Luther should be roasted with his own turkey and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.

    But when you're visited by strange apparition on Christmas Eve, you realize that your Grinch-like ways have more of an effect than you could have ever anticipated. And who better to teach you the error of your ways than Luther's brother, who holds the power of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come in the palm of his hand.

    Adaptation of a Christmas Carol, cross-posted to Tumblr.

    Summary

    “Where’s Sloane?”

    He’s caught in Luther’s grip and cannot escape. Frustration rises up past the fear he’s trying so hard to swallow. Luther wants answers. Well, so does he. Luther wants to know what’s happened to Sloane—well, Five wants to know what’s happened to him.

    “I don’t know!” he snaps, his voice sharp and ragged. “I don’t know, I can’t even—”

    He stops himself just in time.

    I can’t even see, he doesn’t say.

    In which Five finds that being the Seventh Bell has consequences, and the reset timeline does not restore his sight.

    Summary

    In some timelines, things work out. A miracle happens, a tragedy is avoided, a death undone.

    In some timelines, they don’t.

    This is the time it doesn’t.

    An alternate ending to Holding It Together.

    Summary

    Ben glares at him. He’s too drunk to keep his thoughts from unraveling out of his mouth, too full of something ugly and bitter to stop himself. “Why’d you go back to save me?”

    There’s the briefest flicker of something sharp behind Five’s gaze. “Because you weren’t supposed to die,” he says, as if that’s any sort of answer.

    Number Five and Sparrow Ben, before and after Oblivion.
