    Summary

    Every day is like yesterday. Every day, Mithrun must wake up and find the will to go on, even when he is left without desire, an empty husk of who he once was. Every day, he takes two steps forward and three steps back. It's a dance he's done before- but now, at least, he isn't dancing alone.

    Summary

    Earth? is the next question she gets, written on the inside of her wrist, and she feels her heart stutter to a stop.

    Well. She'd certainly entertained the possibility they weren't from here, before. She'd done quite a lot of looking into other alphabets, after all, and found nothing whatsoever.

    She'd also sort of thought that was crazy, though. There are a lot of people on Earth, and not a lot of those people speak the same language. It was more realistic to think it was just something niche.

    Not so crazy as all that, after all.

    Summary

    His head pounded, yet did not, ached yet felt far away, contradictions not bearing any weight, the impossible weight of being no one and everyone at once, one and two, 75 and 2000, of having lived and not lived, of existing in a way that made no sense at all.
    __

    Memories, memories, memories-

    He punches his cheek, oh it ached, sweet sweet burn tapering into a dull sharp thing.

    He cupped his cheek, index passing over his upper-lip-

    "A moustache ?" he murmured voice full of wonder.

     

    or

    A old man wakes up as Omni-man, barely an idea of the world he ended up in and with two thousand years of memories serving the Viltrumite empire, of no memory of the last decade -decades?- He, Nolan, spend on earth.

    Summary

    Just for a moment, all Nolan could think of was a drop of rain falling onto the surface of an ocean. Impossible to discern or distinguish as separate from its new place, gone and yet made vastly larger by being consumed. What measurable change did it hope to make? It was minute. It wasn't rain anymore. Just the ocean. Something scratched across the back of his throat, down through his chest and lodged itself behind his heart, making it skip a beat. A drop of rain falling into the ocean. Could you really call that drowning?
