    Summary

    Fireworks, and the coming and going of New Year's.

    -

    Gintoki didn’t have a word for the lights in the sky that sometimes appeared over the battlefields he scoured for food when they emptied of the living. He heard them before he saw them, great big booms that echoed across the wastes like thunder and had him scrambling for the nearest cover out of instinct. He held still there, branches tearing at his cheeks and exposed skin, and hardly dared to breathe in the following silence. He flinched with every following roar until he found the courage to lift his head in one of the breaks in sound. Colors burst in the sky, red and orange like sunsets, even though the night itself was black and clouded.

    It seemed less scary then. Maybe the closest thing to beauty he had back then, though it made the sky fill with grey smog that blocked the stars. He sat in the brush with twigs in his hair and watched explosions bloom in the sky like flowers until he no longer flinched at the sight and sound of them. He watched them with wide eyes and parted lips until the last light finally burned out and left him in pitch.

    The dead shouldn’t come back to life, not as different damn people, don’t they understand how much it hurts?

    Summary

    If Mutsu were to say she hadn't felt some kind of way about Sakamoto since the moment he'd smiled up at her from his prison cell, those big blue eyes sweet and stupid and trusting, she'd be lying through her teeth.

    Summary

    It’s an eerie-eyed thing, and dirty, the grimy white of its fur turning its eyes sickly in the shadow of the street. If he were nicer, like Zura, perhaps, or even Shoyo, Gintoki might’ve stopped to share the onigiri in his pocket—might’ve tried to put a little more flesh on its tattered bones. As it is, Gintoki is a wary child, and he stares back, blinks slowly, and continues onwards to the river. 

    [Gintoki meets a cat.]

    "We share the food... and the pain," he'd said so, so confidently. All the while, behind their backs he continued to do the same as he'd always done:

    Forget himself.

    Some people who've seen Hell can't cope with walking away from it. They instead burn themselves within because Hell is the only warmth offered to them.

    They never realize that by inviting Hell into them, they also give the Devil permission to whisper in their ear.

    His head is a hurricane. He opens glued eyes and sees a roof. There is no hole in this one. It isn’t broken or burned down.

    Summary

    Now, calm down, a small, panicky voice says. They wouldn’t judge you for it. Everyone gets pimples now and then, it’s a totally, completely reasonable, natural thing. Nothing to worry about.

    They probably won’t even notice, it adds reasonably, after a moment.

    Shinpachi stares blankly into the bathroom mirror; the pimple stares back.

    “Yeah right!” he shouts, feeling hysterical. “Of course they’d judge me for this! They judge everyone for everything! That’s what they do!”

    / / /

    Aka Shinpachi wakes up one morning and finds he has a pimple. It all goes downhill from there.

    Summary

    Didn’t someone tell her once that the more bones break, the stronger they get? A nugget of Gin-chan’s wisdom, or Anego’s maybe? It rings oddly in her mind, sounding like something Kamui would say, dark and violent and through his bloody teeth.

    She pictures them white and clean again and sets down the flowers with a soft hand, her shadow fluttering against the rough stone.
