    Summary

    “It’s not a real kid, Chase.”

    Chase is technically underage, he’s a year away from being able to drink but the bartender didn’t bother to check his ID. Chase has always looked a little older than he was, it works in his favor now.

    Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.

    “How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”

    Mechaman sighs, deep, disappointed. He leans back, taking his whiskey with him.

    The rest of the Brave Brigade was downstairs, drinking in victory, dancing with the other heroes, celebrating.

    “It’s the Astral Pulse.”

    Summary

    Look, Robert believed in his team's potential, and he wanted to say he believed they could rise enough in the leader-board to not get cut.

     

    But if being a hero taught him anything, it's that you always want a back-up plan. Insurance, if you will.

     

    Some called it cheating, he called it leveling the playing field.

    Summary

    The last time he’d been so saved, knuckles bloody and heart numb, the calling had been so moving that Jud followed it into Christ’s light.

    Summary

    "Moray eels linger in cracks and crevices and all the small, shadowed places. They go after small fish, leaping out when you’d least except or trapping them deep, deep in the dark. They bite, and they bite again, pharyngeal jaws pulling prey down their gullet, squeeze, flailing and failing to get away. But maybe the fish, for all its complaining, wants to get caught."

     

    OR: Vox, and Alastor, and the end.

    Summary

    "“Your incessant fidgeting is quite unbecoming, dear.”

    Alastor’s words cut sharp as his teeth. Luckily, sharks are thick-skinned, and Vox has never feared being bitten. He giggles at the pun, and Alastor looks at him through red-black lashes, coquettish, cute. Soft—like a knife’s handle when compared to its blade."

     

    OR: There are a lot of things that don't exist in Hell, like friendship, or trust. Vox hasn't quite gotten the memo yet.
