Summary
Everything started with a hug.
After that fight in Pacifica, V caught Viktor’s smile in the crowd—joyful, proud, just for him. A living memory of when he wasn’t just surviving, but still figuring life out at his own rhythm. And for Vik, the ice beneath his feet finally cracked. Life pushed forward, pulling him from the past and his stagnated loneliness—whether he wanted it or not.
This is a story about what comes after the end, and what we’re willing to do—and to endure—for love and freedom. Waking up broken, trying to rebuild a body, a purpose, to find a warm place in the sun.
I wrote this to fill the immense hole this game left in my chest—and to give my favorite broken dogs the ending they deserved.
(Post-canon, with some pre-Mikoshi setup. Slow burn. Hurt/comfort. Body horror. Plotted canon divergence. Expect grief, violence, complicated intimacy, and slow, painful healing. Welcome to the ride.)

Summary
V is a wreck after the events of Mikoshi. He has now lost two best friends, he's still dying, and he's not sure it's worth it to keep fighting anymore. Having Vik see him at his most vulnerable isn't V's proudest moment, so it's not surprising that he starts to give himself away. He slips a little at a time until the truth comes out.

Summary
"December twenty-fifth, eighteen ninety-nine," Arthur starts, eyes flicking to your face every other word until the intensity of your gaze must make him too anxious. "It's a nice little life, livin' with the one I love," — rubbing his mouth, sighing some — "Jesus, I always gotta be sappy."

Summary
He knows that secrets never stay secret for long, but it can't hurt to try. Unfortunately, a Devil is watching over the city, one that doesn't take kindly to liars of any sort.
