Summary
A sudden noise jolted Jimmy from his thoughts, and there it was. The familiar question and answer boxes on his screen, a timer up at the top. Okay. So he was here to ask him a question. Cool.
Was he going to test his redstone knowledge? Well, Jimmy wasn't all that good at it, but he knew some trap mechanics. Or maybe it was the same old festive game trivia? Not like Jimmy was any better at that, but…
His twitchy eyes flit to the question:
Question
Did you betray Impulse?
—
Jimmy betrayed Impulse. Impulse comes back to make sure Jimmy knows.

Summary
Impulse's body begins to lose a bit of its feeling the longer he looks at it. Every passing second leaving him more numb and fuzzy than the last, eyes vibrating in their sockets, brain buzzing in his skull. He feels stuck.
He is stuck.
He can just barely register the way his hands go limp, his chest deflating as a deep, deep, deep breath slips past his trembling lips.
Why can't he look away? Why can't he look away from his bed?
Tango's bed..?
—
Impulse and Ren get married. But someone's missing.

Summary
Pearl is silent for a moment, breathing deeply as she looks out into the forest, thumb rubbing against the shiny skin of the apple.
"Can I ask you something?" she suddenly says. Impulse lets out a hum of affirmation. A soft, airy sigh leaves her lips.
"Would you eat it?"
The question doesn't hit as hard as it probably should've. Maybe because Impulse has asked himself that same question countless times before.
—
Impulse and Pearl have something they shouldn't. They talk about it, with some self discovery in between.

Summary
It’s also stupid, Impulse knows. What if it went wrong? What if Bdubs bit too hard, hit something he shouldn’t, caused damage neither of them could fix? What if he killed him?
Maybe that was part of the thrill. The idea of placing his life into those calloused, blood stained hands. The idea of offering himself up to Bdubs and praying he’d take him tenderly, just as he’d promised. The idea of being wanted… being needed. It was so tempting…
God, Impulse is an idiot.
—
Bdubs is a vampire. Impulse is not. An interesting sort of relationship ensues.

Summary
But Impulse knows that’s not where it’s coming from. Even in his paranoid state, he knows deep down that that’s not what Ren is doing, no matter what it feels like. Ren is worried. He knows Impulse is lying. He doesn’t want him to lie.
Impulse doesn’t want to, either. Truthfully.
But god, he doesn’t want to talk. He doesn’t want to talk about anything. Because where has that ever gotten him before?
Ren wouldn’t know what to say, anyways, he’s sure. He never does. Nothing he says ever helps, it just…
It makes Impulse so confused.
—
Ren tries to apologize to Impulse in a way that means something. Maybe it's enough.

Summary
Impulse sighed, cringing at the way his throat nearly whistled. “Yeah… yeah, it’s pretty gross…”
“Then let me fix it,” Cleo responded, adopting a gentler tone as she gave his shoulders one last pat. “I promise it’ll be over before you know it, ‘kay?”
The demon took a deep breath, neck aching all the while, a sensation he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible. And if he had to get sewn up like a doll to do it? Then maybe that’s just what he had to do.
—
Impulse's neck wound doesn't heal properly. Cleo takes it upon herself to patch him up.

Summary
Impulse just wanted something who cared to hold him, something that wouldn’t leave him at the drop of a clock, something that trusted him the same way he trusted it.
Why didn’t Bdubs care?
Impulse’s lip quivered as a lump settled itself in his throat.
How come everybody he hurt did?
—
Impulse dies in the worst way imaginable. Limbo brings about a whirlwind of regret.

That’s how it started.
Bdubs needed blood, Impulse needed to be needed. That’s all.
Until it wasn’t.

Summary
His plan called for a very simple time: midnight. Two hands on the twelfth mark, easy enough. And he planned to keep them there for a long, long time.
Because it was New Year’s Eve, the thirty-first, and what does that mean when the clock strikes twelve?
A kiss.
And Bdubs wanted one now. He wanted one whenever he wanted, actually.
—
It's New Year's Eve. Bdubs says it's midnight... long before it's midnight.

Summary
“Dippledop,” Skizz finally says, and Impulse lets his hand fall as his buddy begins to turn towards him. His heart clenches at the bittersweet look on Skizz’s face. His tired eyes. The tears welling in them. “I’m gonna need you to trust me on this, okay? No… no back talk or nothin’! Just… just hear me out.”
“And just— just hear me out!” Impulse is quick to add, interrupting a Skizz who never even thought to interrupt him. “I have a plan and it’s gonna sound a little crazy, but you… you just have to trust me, Skizz. Please.”
—
Impulse and Skizz will always be there for each other.

what do you do with a loving feeling if the loving feeling makes you all alone? by mxmarsbars

Summary
Betrayal, his head screams at him, an instinct. But is it really a betrayal if he saw it coming from a mile away? If he knew the person who did it never really cared? If it was always bound to happen?
A shaky sigh leaves him, chest heavy and heaving, his bleeding heart caged inside. His good eye meets the gaze of the scarred one before him.
“Etho,” Impulse chokes out, throat tight, tighter than even after Ren chopped his head off. He doesn’t say anything more. He doesn’t want to.
“Impulse,” Etho replies, expression dull and easy, like always. “What’re you doin’ here all on your own?”
-
Impulse is dead. Etho stops by to rub it in.

Summary
Being stuck wasn’t exactly a bad thing to be. Impulse had convinced himself of that, at least. Because he loved Bdubs, and Bdubs loved him, and they made do. And honestly, Impulse couldn’t ask for more…
…well, maybe he could ask for one thing.
For Bdubs to get rid of that stupid clock.
—
Impulse wishes his husband needed him instead.

Summary
Impulse gazed down at his little passion project with such an intensity that he swore his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He couldn’t help the way his blood boiled whenever the thought even crossed his mind, how the water almost looked a bit red the longer he stared at it. He shook his head. It was probably just the lighting.
“I’m all for it if you need some help with the ideas or a teammate… y’know… kinda pickin’ up on what you’re puttin’ down…” Pearl said, a smirk tugging at her lips as she elbowed him playfully. “I’m there, y’know?”
Impulse looked up at her, and the sparkle in his eyes was almost comical. A squinty smile quickly made its way onto his face. “Yeah, yeah, yeah?”
—
Impulse is itching for revenge. Pearl is just the person to help.

Summary
The hole is quiet. For once, Impulse doesn’t break it. His lips are just as sealed as hers. He stares back at her, into her wild eyes, and his brow slants up as more and more tears fall from his own.
There’s nothing but sympathy behind them, Pearl realizes. No, not just sympathy. Empathy. Like he understands all the terrified thoughts inside her head. She knows his is filled with just as many.
She sees him. She thinks he sees her, too.
—
Pearl and Impulse talk. Turns out they’re not as different as they thought they were.

Summary
Impulse looks up at Bdubs like he's going to save him, like he’ll somehow take back the damage done, kiss it all away and make it better. Bdubs’s eyes hold nothing but defeat. He can’t. They both know that.
As blood seeps from his wound, Impulse’s eyelids grow heavier. It’s hard to keep staring at his soulmate when he can barely keep his eyes open. He tries to speak, but Bdubs shushes him. It makes him want to scream.
He wants to ask why, he tries to ask why, but he can’t. Because there isn’t a why. There is no explanation. There never is with Bdubs.
—
The clock wasn't enough.

Summary
Impulse took it as well as he could, swallowing the faint, hushed “betrayal” that bubbled in his throat. He forced a smile instead.
Unease blossomed in him like an ugly flower, hunger pangs like thorns pricking his stomach, eating him from the inside out. Scott wished him luck and gave him a very gentle pat on the back. Impulse could feel his mouth watering.
And just like that, as he raced out of the cherry blossom base, the cycle had started. Tag had begun. The chase was on.
—
Impulse plays tag. He tries his darnedest to win. Keyword: tries.

Summary
“Wakin’ up and seein’ yer gorgeous face every mornin’ is nothin’ short of a privilege, dear,” his husband exclaims, staring at Impulse almost dreamily, like he’s the most beautiful thing in the world. Pure adoration swims behind his eyes. It makes Impulse’s heart ache. “I love it. I love you.”
Impulse loves him, too. God, he loves him so, so much.
-
Impulse and Bdubs are happy.

Summary
“Am I a bad person?”
Skizz’s head whipped around from where he was focused eating his soup. He stilled as he stared at the demon next to him, a fancy cyber-techy spoon in one hand, the other gently grasping the side of the bowl. “What?”
“You heard me,” Impulse said, pursing his lips as he tapped his own spoon anxiously against his own bowl. “Am I a bad person..?”
-
Impulse doesn’t feel like a good friend. Skizz tells him otherwise.

Summary
It was then it all flooded back to him. The chase, the escape, the waiting game. The snow, the trees, the blinding sun. The angry growls of wolves and the sickeningly sweet, taunting voice of Pearl. Something wicked this way comes.
The lava. The crossbow. The axe.
The gash in his side.
His death.
-
The house is melting, the pool won’t turn, and Impulse’s worst fear comes true.
