  3. Summary

    These are fills made for the ask prompts I get by folks on tumblr, as well as short prompt reponses from other prompt blogs (that don't spiral into larger series). Posted first on tumblr, and they eventually make it over here. Ask prompt fills can take several months to get to, but my inbox is open - and what I write is pretty evident by my collection of stories here :)

    Summary

    Excerpt taken from Chapter 10:

    We are the ill-fated sons of glory, dear brother. Mycroft had said that before, hadn’t he? The recollection was swirling, misty. Mixing crudely with the gray fog that had been creeping down the rickety attic stairs all day. Infiltrating his mind with fear. Unreal, most likely. The pirates you so used to admire had notoriously short lives.

    Victor certainly hadn’t lived for long. Redbeard, he’d liked to be called.

    Mind palace Mycroft. I thought I told you to go away. You’ve already said all of this.

    Is it not still relevant?

    Sherlock didn’t bother to answer. It was, in fact, not relevant. Dying this way – if that were indeed to be his fate – would involve no regret. No introspection. It is what it is. I’ve fought for good. I know I have. On the side of the angels.

    This fic is technically the third part of a series, but it stands alone as well. NOTE: The title was changed from "Genius is a Star Whose Light (is Soon to Sink in Endless Night)", just because it was ultimately too unwieldy.

    Summary

    Weeks after their capture, exhausted and brutalized, Sephiroth and Cloud only have one night left to say goodbye before their captors string them up for a final, twisting dance.

    A one-shot self-indulgent hurt/comfort, apropos of nothing.
