    Summary

    You stare up at the gently swaying branches, fractals of light filtering through the space between the canopy, and breathe.

    The world breathes with you, in and out, a soft breeze sweeping across the clearing. Grass tickles the back of your neck; you can feel the uncomfortable press of gnarled roots against your spine, and you swear beneath the bark you can feel a heartbeat, a steady thrumming that speaks of life.

    It’s all so alive. It’s not the same fabricated, carefully designed set you stood on hours before. There is no stage anymore. The act is over. It’s not haunted by fragments of things left behind in past loops, in your memories, or in other pieces of you torn away from their home and tethered here by the stars. It’s no longer broken, failing, rotting away with the sickening smell of burnt sugar.

    It’s. Alive.

    … You’re alive.

    The air is crisp, the birds cry out, the tree above you waves gently in the wind, and you are alive.

    ✧✧✧

    In which I finally give Siffrin the recovery arc they truly deserve. And by that, I mean a messy one.

    Summary

    "So." Her voice is as silky as ever, and for a moment, June can't believe it's her voice. As though she'd missed the memo about coincidentally-perfect fascimilies of childhood best friends being out and about today, and this just can't be the Rose Lalonde.

    But then her mouth curls into a smile, and there's nobody else in the world it could possibly be. Nothing short of a miracle could give anyone else a smile like that. "It looks like you've changed."

    "And it looks like you haven't," June manages to joke through a tightening throat, knowing she probably looks like she's seen a ghost. There's only a second of silence before the question of who will break the distance is answered, and Rose throws her arms around June's shoulders.

    "I missed you too."

    ~~~

    June Egbert and Rose Lalonde were the best of friends, but life tore them apart as children. Ten years later, they fall back into each other's lives and find themselves discovering just how much fonder absence has made their hearts grow.

    Summary

    How is a person supposed to go on? When the world you have always know crumbles away around you, how are you supposed to orient yourself again? You found an answer to that question once. At the bottom of a bottle of tasteless liquor. Since then, you’ve been forced to rely on inertia to keep going. But here, in this new world you helped create, inertia has faltered. Nothing happens anymore. All the people you depended on are either missing in action or busy. You know, logically, that what you need is to build a new support network. To strengthen the relationships you have until they can support you when you stumble. But how are you supposed to do that? All of your friends are just as traumatized as you. None of you have any real life experience beyond the game. The weight of not just a lifetime but an eternity without the basic social knowledge necessary to build and maintain stable and caring relationships looms over you. Everything feels so hollow now. What was the point of winning — of creating a new world — if you don’t even have the requisite mental and emotional configuration to enjoy it? How are you supposed to go on, Rose?
