Summary
[Noctis had told his friends he remembered very little of his decade in the crystal.]
[Noctis had lied.]
Trapped in Reflection, Noct discovers Bahamut isn’t quite the benevolent deity he’s made himself out to be. Feeding on death, the Draconian waits in anticipation for Noct’s final sacrifice. And as the sun rises at last, Umbra offers Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto an alternative—but with a catch.
Now, back in a world of light, the four of them discover that behind every happily ever after is a big flaming mess of new problems—from angry gods, to relentless Niffs, to the fallout of a decade spent in darkness, to trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with Noct.
And, as each man battles his daemons, Noct himself finally learns—once and for all—that no one is an island.

Or: snapshots of Steven Universe, in the months after his embarrassingly public meltdown.

Pearl watches. Garnet tells stories. Amethyst gives a speech. Lapis relates. Connie confesses. Surely someday Steven will speak?
Otherwise, what's the point in anything?
[Worm theory. Angst. Happy ending.]

Summary
Akechi Goro is alive – one of his biggest regrets is alive and standing in front of him looking like he’s ready for some highbrow sports photo shoot when what he really needs is five years intensive therapy and at least five more steps away from Akira.
No, no, no – the universe is not allowed to shove this on him so soon after it just flung him three fucking years into the past.
(Sometimes the only way to save someone is to let them save you first.)
(Huge canon divergence. Akira's past and future affect him big time.)Translation in Chinese now available on privatter and AO3 courtesy of coakira2!
