    Summary

    And as he landed on that floor slick with rot and helminth bile, looking into the eyes of a man who looked done with the world, ‘Mill had yet to realize the mark on his chest was more than just something Duviri had bestowed upon him – not just a pretty decoration.

    …It was the symbol of his salvation from the ruin his soul had become.

    Summary

    Drifter has always slid through her long and violent life fighting. The name she was given no longer something she feels she can claim as her own. Born with a blackened soul mark, she knew she would never meet her soul bound mate as they were already dead when she came into being. She slips though time apathetic and lonely going from one shit show to the next, until she is thrust back in time and meets the Hex. A rag tag team of highly trained individuals who are down on their luck and out of time where she meets a man who feels familiar. Her draw to the Hex's leader seems too strong to be just a simple attraction, but how can she move forward when she knows the other half of her soul was cut from existence before she was even born.

    Summary

    Curiosity.

    Call it what you want, he supposed, but he’d been curious about Arthur since he’d landed in this time. Sure, he had a job to do - save them - fuck whatever Entrati had planned and save a bunch of human beings that had been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hell, barring the fact that he wasn’t even technically supposed to exist, maybe they could be just a merry band of misfits together.

    But late at night when the mall was quiet, ocean blue eyes focused on that security office...

    Summary

    He is puzzled; he expected a fight but...

    "Praghasa..." She whispers. "I failed...it swallowed the sun; it swallowed it all."

    He blinks; the world was still intact. "No, it didn't."

    "Maybe not for you..." Those ruby eyes are void now, empty - she stands and looks up at the sky once more. "...this is not my world..."

    "All of it...for nothing." She looks at the sky one last time.

    It all makes sense now. "Eternalism…"

    Summary

    He's elusive, it's frustrating... the Hex were ported from the past to the future - Kaya finding a loophole. They're on a mission - find a cure, or something like it. Stop the techrot in their veins. Their hope, a bounty hunter - hunt the one who takes what they need - Entrati's research. The key to fixing them - closing the maw - saving their universe.

    But in truth - they're not so different. They're on the same path, have the same goals.

    But this rogue drifter doesn't trust easy - his world ended by the very ones who need the information he holds.

    Will they find peace together?

    Summary

    Violet looks down at the books and then there's an old magazine that's kind of worn but has some type of fashion in it.

    "What's this?" She points to it.

    "It's called a kilt, and it can come in any color or style." He smiles.

    Summary

    “Picked up another stray I see, babas.”

    "I couldn't just leave him alone, he’d probably die."

    He jolts, green eyes flaring as he opens them, the metal left hand groping for his weapon that isn't there. Instead, he forms his blade and backs up on the gurney. He recognizes Lettie but not the woman - the last thing he remembers is Arthur shoving him through a portal, gunshots, Entrati ...the reactor... and now - the paracesis disappears and he starts shaking. They're gone, all of them. He didn't get the chance to - IT took it all and he was the only thing left.

    Summary

    “Live …because despite everything else the universe is beautiful and full of wonderful things that you’ll never get to see if you leave.” She whispers softly, her eyes glowing brightly behind her glasses, and she holds the tray out to him again. “Food you’ll never taste, sunsets, the soft glow of Lua rising - the twinkle of stars, the rain on your skin.”

    Well, my past is a holy book
    A call from Olympus,
    ringing off the hook

    Summary

    "Arthur stopped short, jaw working. He wanted to push him away, to snarl that Verden didn’t understand. But the stubborn heat in Verden’s gaze made it clear he wasn’t going anywhere.

    Finally, Arthur grunted. “Fine. But you stay close. No heroics.”

    Verden’s mouth quirked, the tension loosening just enough for a grin. “Funny, I was about to say the same to you.”

    Arthur snorted, shoving his helmet on to hide the way his lips twitched. “Bloody cheeky…”'

    Arthur Nightingale thought he’d gotten used to the monster Entrati made of him—helminth armor skin, glowing eyes, sharper teeth, retractable claws, and the cursed rut that drove him into isolation every few months. What he hadn’t accounted for was Verden.

    The Drifter was supposed to be just another teammate, another survivor clinging to life inside the ruined mall. But Arthur’s instincts didn’t see him that way. They snarled 'mine' every time Verden laughed with someone else, every time someone leaned too close.

    Summary

    Sure, the move was ballsy, but he didn’t have time for finesse. That tank was barreling at those civilians, steam and efervon, acid and cannon rounds. His frame couldn’t handle the onslaught, but his steel could, and he caught that damn industrial sized bullet to the chest with only a dent and barely a scratch. The smoke clearing as he looked that Scaldra bastard in the eye and threw the round back at the tank effectively blowing it up.

    Of course, Arthur had seen the whole thing - yelled at him that he could’ve died.

    But the streets were cleared, the civvies safe, another one of Viktor’s toys destroyed. Should’ve been celebrating a victory - not getting a lecture.

    Whatever.

    Summary

    'You need to relax…' Violet hums, tongue coming out to tease.

    “Do I now?” Arthur chuckles softly, looking over to see the door is locked and then leaning back in the chair, making more room for her. “And what do you suggest?”

    Summary

    Well, you were laid in verse, living on a promised word
    Well, I am the rose you relinquished again
    You and I are down headfirst in another world, I heard
    I have a feeling we’re close to the end
    So come on, come on
    Out from underneath who you were
    Come on, come on now

    Summary

    dé·jà vu
    /ˌdāZHä ˈvo͞o/
    noun -
    a feeling of having already experienced the present situation.

     

    He's seen this before, through different eyes - events familiar yet not. But one thing is for certain, this connection he feels - it can't be ignored nor denied...

    After the break, the chain separated realities, throwing another loop in... another world, another place, another time -- Vermillion meets Hades.

    Summary

    From brooding gulfs are we beheld by that which bears no name.
    Its heralds are the stars it fells, the sky and earth aflame.
    Corporeal laws are unwrit, as suns and love retreat.
    To cosmic madness, laws submit, though stalwart minds entreat.
    In luminous space, blackened stars, they gaze, accuse, deny.
    Roiling, moaning this realm of ours in madness, lost shall die.
    Carrion hordes trill their profane accord with eldritch plans.
    To cosmic forms from tangent planes, we end as we began.

    Summary

    Entrati and strange mirrors, other dimensions, what was he doing and why?
    With that man and all the crazy, it could be anything. Was it another trick? A ploy? And why only their universes?

    Violet steps forward and then circles him. “I’m honestly curious, oh God of the underworld.”

    Hades observes her as well. “And what would a flower be curious about, huh?”

    What a fine day for the white rabbit to take a vacation.

    Summary

    Arthur tilted his head to look at her and he could admit she was beautiful, the pale sheen of her skin, the diamond glitter of void-touched flesh, the soft purple glow she always carried under the fluorescent lighting. Pale blue lips tilted upwards in that slow smirk, knowing looks, the burn of her ruby eyes. Gods, he didn't realize how much he tried to bury this feeling until he was confronted with it. He wanted her and he didn't know how to deal with that.

    Summary

    Violet was driven to distraction, and she couldn’t help it. Never once did she think that her mind could be clouded with anything other than old Duviri nightmares or surviving to make it another day. But her mind was filled with him -- Arthur Nightingale and his soft touches, growls, nipping kisses -- the feel of him inside of her and how his voice dropped low when he begged her to …

    He was a nervous wreck when he asked them and practically short-circuited when they said yes. Now he stood at the threshold of the backroom with sparks flying from his fingertips and wondering why they wanted him when he was a mess.

    Summary

    "He spun the longsword lost in thought, the metallic sound echoing in his small room. Arthur didn’t know what to make of her or this sudden new development where he just - well, he didn’t want to think about it. Thinking about it made it real, made it tangible. Ever since she’d fallen out of his head, he burned with something he couldn’t quite name. Violet was interesting, intriguing, and he tried to shake the itching underneath his skin."
