    Summary

    “I guess owe you an apology, too. For two things.” Claire said with a sad smile. “Remember when you asked me which time I was pretending? The first, second, or third time I talked to you?”
    “Yes,” Shaun nodded, “You never answered me.”
    “I know. That’s apology number one. And for the answer… It was the second time.”

    Or: Melendez assigns scutwork to Claire and Shaun and they have a heart-to-heart. Jared joins too, eventually, but only for the super-best-friend secret handshakes.

    ((Set after Apple))

    Summary

    The Emperor loved to remind him that he wouldn’t have failed if he had simply followed the golden rule of “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

    Hunter doesn’t count his body weight in pounds like everyone else. He’s only as safe as razor sharp tones, micro-expressions of discontentment, or the mercy of a fist slammed against the wall by his ear. He has every scrunched nose, every crooked smile, and every frown categorized in a tiered list of how angry someone is with him at any given time. It’s the only framework he has locked and loaded to work with, and it seems to be serving him well here, too.

    He’s not sure exactly why Luz is mad at him, but he can at least try to mitigate the consequences.

     

    Or: Hunter takes Luz out to the zoo. Meltdowns ensue.

    Summary

    Two things happen. First, Boothill’s phone pings. Another message from Dan Heng, most likely, so he pulls it out to reply.
    Second, the faint smoke of Blade’s distractibility solidifies, sharp-edged and purposeful, into a stare that latches onto something across the room. He laughs, disbelief hollowing out the amusement, and Boothill turns around to see what the issue is, but something else catches his eye-

    The face of a friend he hasn’t seen in a good while, and a complicated expression he can’t even begin to decipher.

     

    Boothill invites a new friend and an old friend to help him bust some IPC ass. It doesn't go quite how he planned. Still, maybe things will turn out even better this way…?

    Summary

    Are you working?

    Yingxing scoffs to no-one in particular. It’s the middle of the night, of course he’s working. He puts down the project he’s gotten carried away with and traces the word yes with one finger against his palm. Stay where you are, Dan Feng writes back.

    Well, he wasn’t exactly planning on doing anything else.

    Approximately fifteen minutes later, the door to his workshop swings open. The hinges are silent but the person behind them is markedly not.

    “Yingxing. I need something sharp.”

    Okay. Not what he was expecting.

    or: Dan Feng, aged not-quite-seventy-thousand, gets his first piercing

    Summary

    "It's funny," he says conversationally, "I barely thought about you while we were apart. I thought of you from time to time, but there were always more urgent matters at hand. I never missed you. But now that I have you"- he finally lets his grip on Blade's hand tighten- "I miss you in a way I can't even begin to explain. I miss an imagined world where I wasn't ignorant enough to know how to move on." He lets his free hand curl lightly over Blade's shoulder, with just the right timing that he'll never know if it's the touch or his words that made Blade flinch again in response. "Do you feel the same? Do you regret letting me get away from you?"

    Blade's response is soft, and not at all gentle. "Of course not. You haunt me."

    In which Dan Heng pokes the proverbial hornets' nest, and finds proverbial hornets.
