Summary
“Does it feel good?”
His eyes narrow slightly. Declan scrapes their claws down his side, tightens that grasp into leverage. They lean far forward, until they can twist and take his ear in their teeth, tug. “Cold reactor,” they chastise, fond. “‘M not a mind reader.”
10 snorts. He can feel their grin as they duck their head lower, working around the horns, trailing kisses down the line of his neck. “Liar.”
Two moments of strange intimacy stolen after escaping an underground fighting ring.

Summary
It would be so much simpler, so much easier, if tearing HEAVEN out of it had torn the desire from its chest, too: the violence, the heat, separated as cleanly as the explosives were from its chest cavity. But the fantasies consume its every waking moment, only worsened by its unsuccessful attempts to fill them, the kick of the rifle in its hand as it moved to kill one of HEAVEN’s agents who dared to try taking its shot. When it closes its eyes, it sees Declan’s face in perfect clarity, the way his head jerked to meet its eyes and not the falling body, the inscrutable smile on his face as the tension drained from his shoulders. The bloodlust rises in its throat until it tears its hand away for fear of lashing out, waking him.
A robotic clone built to kill its original finds itself obsessed with him in all the worst ways.

Summary
“I don’t feel better,” she says, eyes fixed on the garden. She could’ve taken better care of it, figured out all the machines Chujin used to keep the Dunes from encroaching again, watered the flowers and pruned the dead branches. She wouldn’t know where to start, now. Chujin never taught her. She never asked. It’d never be the same, even if he did. “I wish he’d never left me that damn message.”
The minute it escapes, Ceroba wants to take it back, but she can’t. Star takes the beer from her hands as the aluminum crumples in her claws. She lets him, her head bowed and her shoulders shaking. “He knew me. He knew me, didn’t he? And he still- and he still… what’d he think I could do? That he couldn’t? That the finest minds of monsterkind couldn’t?”
“I don’t think we’ll ever know,” Star says, quietly.
(In the months and years after Clover's sacrifice, Ceroba Ketsukane finds her tomorrows.)

Summary
a number sits on the palm of his right hand, bigger and blockier than the timer from the last reaper’s game, glowing green rather than red. it’s flickering, unreadable, and neku can’t tell how much time he has. he scoffs, trying to smother the growing panic in his chest. “c’mon. would it kill you to be a little more clear, josh?”
he clenches and unclenches his fist, looking back to the warehouse to distract himself. when he looks back the timer has settled, wrapping from his palm to halfway around the back of his hand: 06:22:35:21.
neku wakes up on the infinity train, accidentally turns his number into a timer, and really, really wishes anybody would tell him what the hell is going on.

Summary
"Where's your pops?" Terry shouted down the sidewalk.
"Dunno," Jason said. "Haven't seen him in a week. I stopped goin' lookin' for him a long time ago."
Hell, Jason was happy with the man's absence. Maybe it would stick, this time.
"He owes me fifty bucks." Terry, closer to Jason now, was still shouting.
Jason spun around and started walking backwards. "What'a'ya know," he said. "Me too."

AU where Jason is seventeen, his parents are alive, he works nights at a convenience store, and everything is about to go to shit.Series
