    Summary

    Tsukasa's over-spoken dream is to one day become a star, but no matter how hard he tries, he will never be a good enough fit to deserve that title. His friends have all accomplished such amazing feats, yet Tsukasa's achievements are all bark and no bite. He will never stop working until he finally deserves his place next to real actors—next to even his friends.
    .
    .
    Or:
    Tsukasa stops taking care of himself because he doubts himself as an actor and thinks he doesn't deserve to relax until he fixes it. Obviously, people get worried, chaos ensues.

    Summary

    It was a cold night.

    Tsukasa hates the cold. He hates the rain. He hates empty houses. He hates the sound of silence. He hates the cold.

    It was always far too cold when he was alone.

    But now, as he stood at a time nearing the middle of the night. Hands resting now numbly on a freezing metal bar as wind violently whipped his hair every which way; the sound of water beneath the bridge he stood upon rushing loudly in his ears, he decided it was different.

     

    Alternatively: Tsukasa is so, so tired, and decides one night that death will be his only solace from the thoughts which plague him. Can the virtual singers and his troupmates show him just how wrong he is about everything before it's too late?

    Summary

    Even with his stores of near-infinite knowledge, D3rlord3 was not prepared for the sight that awaited him when he answered his front door:

    On his doorstep stood a scrappy-looking young man in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a beaming smile. In his hand was D3rlord3’s hastily-written book.

    The man, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, “Did you write this?”

    Summary

    Derek Hutchins survived the impossible. Now he has to survive something harder: being taken care of.

    Avery is very good at this. Derek is very bad at accepting it. They are both, slowly, figuring it out.

    A collection of soft moments set after the end of everything, grocery runs and bad Skywars games and 2am conversations and learning, little by little, what it means to just exist without the weight of the universe pressing down.

    Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.

    They did. This is what comes next.

    Summary

    Derek slumps in his chair. After so long, he closes his eyes. A smile reaches his lips. Tears well and pour. His pulse stops in a rhythm. His life is slipping, and the universe floods his eyes. The stars, the earth, all of history, all that will ever be, aliens and starships, occultism and symbols, every language across the known realm; It's too fast to comprehend, but the beauty brings him to breathlessness. The king's screams echo through the chaos.

    Somewhere, out there, right there, right here, Avery cries. Derek knows he's mourning. The hope, the hopelessness, the love, the betrayal, the grief, he willingly feels it all. He looks through the house. Avery's mother is watching the ball drop, His sister and brother bicker over alcohol. Fireworks thunder outside. Derek revels in the celebrations. He won't get another. Avery's sobs are drowned out by the noise below. He extends his oblivion-touched hands, but cannot reach him.
