are we allies or enemies? (this will be the death of me) by celestique

Summary
“Well?” Lyney asks, a world of despair and hopelessness buried in a single word. “Was this everything you wanted?”
Wriothesley does not look away from him, rests a hand on his cheek more delicate than his hands have ever held a human heart. He cannot tell if it is pity that dictates the action—sympathy deeper than any of them were allowed. The life of a healer is often a curse, rather than a blessing.
“I’m afraid you’ve lost, Bachelor. This is the solution that saves us.” He cannot let him choose another path. It would damn them all, and his soul just as well. (Perhaps more than he is, selfishly, willing to see.)
The other man scoffs, and he is eerily reminded how young they both are. “Funny. That’s what the House of Hearth said too.”
In which Fontaine is a dying town, and two doctors have entirely different perspectives on how to rewrite the looming tragedy. Pathologic AU.

take me to the lakes (where all the poets went to die) by celestique

Summary
“So do you still wish to live?”
It’s a simple inquiry, he believes. At the heart of the matter, that is what lies behind all these tavern meetings and quiet conversations, cloistered away from the very footnotes of history. And after all he’s seen and witnessed, after all the tragedy that comes with centuries’ worth of life amidst change and transformation — perhaps this is where it was always meant to go. The same constant destination all other roads lead to.
Venti barks out a laugh.
“Are you crazy?” He asks, all disbelief and bright eyes. It contrasts the grime and wrinkles that pepper his face, contradicts the grin he gives him — as if he never spoke of loss and death tenfold at all. Xiao thinks he’s never looked so brilliant.
“Death is a mug’s game. I got so much to live for.”

Summary
Izali knows better than to believe there is never any fine print when you sign a contract.
Izali knows better than to put her fate in the hands of men who wield enough power to bend a world.
Izali knows better than to strike bargains with fairytales that double as cautionary stories.
And yet—
Something sings beneath her skin, and she doesn't know if it's the rise of a new phantom pain or an after-effect of the lucifuge.

sorry about the blood in your mouth (i wish it was mine) by celestique

Summary
“Does it matter what I say we are to the Traveler, Cyno?”
Something unreadable catches across Alhaitham’s face, more than how it already is. He’s looking at him, downward, calculative. It’s not a conversation so much as a battle of attrition held between two equal opponents. He can’t even say he’s hurt by the query.
“It does to me.”
–
A quiet moment alone in the home of Aaru Village's chief leaves Cyno and Alhaitham a chance to talk.

Summary
"Humor me, then, General Kujou—how do you love a God?"
The question should be one in which the answer comes in absolute certainty: with all your armor unsheathed, kneeling before their feet, with devotion stained in blood. The promise of an unchanging Eternity, resolute no matter the cost.
For Inazuma, and the Raiden Shogun's will, she would sacrifice all.
And yet, the more she finds herself staring at the Watatsumi Island's Divine Priestess—the more Sara finds it difficult to confess.

Summary
[whereto shall you go?]
[yes, this thing draped in flame, which you have caught in your mouth without a second thought.]
[what gentle warmth, the voices of the people and their bodies beside you.]
[what lively fire, the feast promised by a god but delivered by her.]
[what glorious light, that now fills your vision.]
[no– do not think of its lure-like taste.]the fleeting visions of cerydra that hysilens saw in her long dream.

Summary
If you’re reading this, it means I did finally purchase that golden ticket, jumped aboard the train when it arrived, and now find myself on that sweet journey to the great beyond. I’ll pause here for tears – but I don’t expect you to linger very long; if I’ve done my job right, you shouldn’t have very many to spare me.
warren kepler isn't the kind to leave long, weepy love notes; even when he knows he's dying, and that his legacy will be forever tarnished by the lies he's leaving behind. he isn't going to spill his guts, admit to his wrongdoings, beg for forgiveness, or give a teary confession of the great love he's always played a little too close to his chest.
he isn't doing any of that.but if he were to, it would go a little something like this.

Summary
“I’m gonna—fuckin’—bleed you dry, you stupid! Mouthy! Bitch!”
Wade hears the words more than he listens to them. I mean, can you blame a guy? Logan’s straddling his lap in the reclined passenger seat of a Honda Odyssey. In any other circumstances, this would be an ideal situation. Hell, it’s pretty damn close to one now.
Other than the, y’know, six knuckle knives plunging holes into his stomach.

Summary
Ivan bites first. What does it feel like to be loved, he asks.
Sua doesn’t meet his gaze—never does, likely never will—but hums, to let him know that she intends to respond. Ivan waits. Quiet. They’re usually quiet. Everything is louder then—crickets, chirping, children (and, Ivan thinks, if he holds his breath just right, he could pick out one voice that sounds like life). Sua turns to him, her gaze settling on her clasped hands.
It feels like home, she responds.
on ivan, the children of anakt garden, and the passing of time.
