Summary
He understands, now. It does not matter how tightly he tries to grasp the scraps of a happier history. Like his father, his brother, his sister as well- he must weather the burden that lies in their bloodline, a melancholy cast over them for all their life. Only now, on the eve of his long and lonely future, has he found words to put to it.

Summary
Her actions and thoughts belong to the empire, not herself, and even as Corvo shifts and swings with her along to the music with a hand on her bare skin, he is so utterly far away, so out of reach as she stands alone, spotlit on her pedestal. Hers, but not hers.

Whistle Through the Lonely Wind by Echinoderma

Summary
There’s a meaning in their meeting, a revelation to be had between him and this fantastical beast, but it slips through his comprehension, like trying to hold on to a handful of rushing water. Deliberately obscured, whatever significance the world is trying to show him, and is he even going to remember this when, when he steps out of this liminal space? When he goes home? It hadn’t occurred to him that for all his good intentions, Joshua could choose to draw this memory like a loose string from his mind, and toss it away, another part of his past stricken from the record.
(Or, perhaps it doesn’t matter- the Composer can’t erase his own memories, after all. If Neku forgets, Joshua will still remember, and maybe that’s been the point of this all along.)

Summary
He thinks Soren might accept the compliment for once, only to hear him speak quietly into his book. "Only time and effort, is all. Everyone has some measure of magical ability, Ike, it's just a matter of cultivation"
"You can’t mean that." It comes out too incredulous for his liking, so he follows up, in jest, with “even me?”
Soren’s mouth scrunches together in that way that means he’s about to snort, but the sound never materializes. Instead, he fixes his sights on the cross of Ike’s arms across his chest, and lets his gaze pan slowly upwards to look him in the eyes.. "... Yes. Even you."
A flutter starts beneath his breast, their closeness doing little to dull the full brunt of Soren’s unwavering, pensive stare. “Soren?”
Slowly, his expression becomes sly, appraising, a slight tilt to his head. "In fact, I can show you."

Red Sky at Morning by Echinoderma

Summary
Ike clamors up the stairs, careful to keep the tray steady, and opens the door to the roost, where he knows the prince has taken residence. There are whispers, rumors all around, that he is mad, delirious with grief after the death of his parents.
(But the prince is not mad. Ike may not understand, but he can see the clarity in the prince’s eyes when he speaks- only to him, as he refuses to entertain the words of anyone else- and knows that whatever his own concerns, it is a matter of the rest being unable to perceive rather than the prince seeing, hearing what is not there.)
---Soren is king of Daein, and Ike is his knight.

Summary
“You seem distracted.” He sounds like his mother, clear and sharp-tongued; distaste, and some edge of impatience always present in his voice. Expectant, in the way he looks to her with an unusual amount of attention.
She hides her hesitance behind another sip of wine. On her tongue it feels cloying, tart. Biting. It leaves her salivating.

Summary
His fingers trail along Soren’s spine until he feels a little of the tension dissipate, a bit of slack returning to stiff limbs. “It’s cute.”
“Hmm?” Soren’s face is tucked against his neck, but Ike can hear him well enough.
“The noise you make. I just- I think it’s cute.”
“… Do you really think so?”
The flush returns to Ike’s cheeks with renewed intensity. “How could I not?”

Summary
To the people of Daein, he was a demon, a scourge, myth and monster made real by the hard edge of steel. The bringer of beasts, the Immortal Vanguard, the Crimean savage. A common wretch who had struck a deal with a devil for power to rival the Mad King himself.

Summary
After years, the grief never dissipated, only stabilizing around the objects around her that he touched and the pictures he took. She takes to flipping through the faded photos and wonders what he saw in them that she could never quite grasp.
Speculation on Joshua's past.

Tags
Summary
He's agreeing with him, which means Neku's right, but actually wrong, in a completely correct kind of way. The idea is there but he missed something vital on his way to the conclusion. Of course Joshua would make him backtrack a maze just to get to the room they’d started in all along.
Rooftop confessional in the rain.
