    Summary

    The boy looks up with hazel eyes. There is a look in his eyes that only a son could have for his mother. A desire to make her proud. “My name is Jayce of the House Talis. My father is Edmund Talis. I’ve come to claim my birthright as heir to my House.”

    And through his stumbling words, his mother thinks- yes. You will make me proud.

    (Or: Jayce and Ximena Talis never make it out of the snowstorm together. Jayce and Viktor meet, decades before they should, as two children of Zaun. This changes everything.)

    Summary

    Viktor opened his eyes wide and looked around. His heart beat fast in his chest. There was dirt on his hands and he could smell the polluted river next to him, feel the itchiness of rough clothes on his skin, the warmth of the sun...
    Where was he?
    He tried to stand up, tried to take in his surroundings and gasped.
    This place... he knew this place.

    ---

    Jayce and Viktor wake up in another time, maybe another universe, but... they've landed further back than anybody could have anticipated.
    Well, that means they have more time to fix things... right?
    Or is it just a chance to make new mistakes?

    Summary

    “…So it’s true,” he murmurs. Silco rolls the rabbit’s ear between the pads of two fingers, an absentminded habit, and an attempt to dispel the grief as though it’s something physical to be rubbed away. “You always were a reckless child. But… I had hoped…”

    OR: In an alternate universe, the death of a child is the catalyst to mend a broken relationship, and bring a family together. But healing takes time, and forgiveness doesn’t come easily.

    Summary

    Triangulation (n.):
    A phenomenon in psychology wherein an individual manipulates a third party into an existing conflict, intensifying tension and maintaining control by deflecting responsibility.

    After their tumultuous falling out, Ford drowns himself in industrial-strength coffee and spirals toward sleep-deprivation induced psychosis in a desperate attempt to escape his mistakes. Meanwhile, Bill’s inability to accept Ford’s rejection is wreaking havoc on his other responsibilities. As their behaviour becomes increasingly unhinged, a third party is unwittingly drawn into their dynamic, forcing all three of them to face their demons.

    Summary

    Stanford Pines has been working with his muse for nearly a year and is burning out hard. The only thing Bill and that hillbilly research assistant of his can agree on is that he needs rest.

    ...

    So long as he could keep IQ and that yokel researcher in the dark a little longer, it wouldn’t matter. The stars could cross someone else when he could conquer galaxies. When they could paint the cosmos red and keep the party going for eternity.

    With a sigh, Bill removed his hand from the painting. He turned his gaze to a pile of rocks along the base. He removed the largest to reveal a trove of torn pages and trinkets of memories long deleted. Sixer’s memories that came too close. Bill retrieved the latest scrap of journal from Ford’s pocket.

    Where is Euclydia? Where has it gone?

    The questions burned to read.
