Summary
He’d seen glimpses of her before, the real Rumi, the girl behind the idol and the blade. He’d seen bits and pieces of her in her choo-choo pants, in the girl who wasn’t weirded out by his dumb tiger and arrogant crow, in the insecurities slithering beneath the patterns, in the compassion she’d shown him again and again, in the desperate soul before him who, despite all he had done to her, had told him that he was more than the mistakes he’d made, somebody who’d seen him for all he really was and accepted him all the same. That had been all Rumi, he knew, and still this was the first time he felt he was seeing the whole of her. Half hunter. Half demon. Resilient. Iridescent.
Breathtaking.
The final battle through Jinu's eyes, and what comes next.

Summary
The stranger next to you is crying. The stranger next to you is crying a lot.
Although you suppose he must be doing his best to conceive his pitiful sobs, the fact that the train carriage is so full it resembles a can of tightly packed sardines is not really working in his favour. He isn’t necessarily being loud, per se; it’s just that the two of you are standing too close to each other, and so every time his chest heaves with excessively deep breaths, you feel it brush up and down against your arm.
It’s honestly pushing you a little bit further to the brink of insanity.
Or; when you get stood up on Valentine's Day, you think your night is done for; that is, until you meet a stranger who claims to be in your current predicament.
Maybe your night can be salvaged after all? -

Summary
As if Rody didn’t have enough on his plate (but, honestly, what was new about that), stupid Greenie kept nagging him and–
And suddenly there were guns pointed straight at him and Greenie became the least of his problems and Jesus Christ he did not want to die.
Everything became a blur after that, but there was something he remembered clearly: green. There was a lot of it as Greenie flew them through the air: an electric green, a green so dark it could have been black and then a green so bright it could have been white and–
Ah, yes, of course the arrows trying to kill them had to be green, too.
Or; Rody and Izuku's story told through the colours.

Summary
Derek blinks, attention still anchored on where it had landed. He reaches out without thinking and brushes his hand over the green numbers set starkly against pale skin, pressing his index finger against the seconds ticking down, only vaguely aware of the other man sucking in a sharp breath.
0000•00•0•06•08•10
That can't be right.
"You...you have..." Derek glances up to see Stiles looking back at him with an unfathomable expression on his face. "You only have six hours left."
The other man jerks his hand away, a pained look flickering across his delicate features before he quickly averts his gaze. "Yeah, thanks for the reminder, asshole."
