    Summary

    “He’ll pull through this,” Gladio murmured from beside him, watching the scene unfold from just over his shoulder.

    Ignis didn’t bother looking at him. “Will he?”

    “‘Course he will,” Gladio answered. Despite his words, he didn’t sound too confident, his voice rough and a little shaken. “He’s a tough kid. He can handle this.”

    Knowing what happened to Noctis is one thing, but, as Ignis and Gladio soon discover, finding out the how and the why is something else entirely, especially when it could be down to something they all fear and desperately hope to be untrue.

    Summary

    When he was six years old, Ignis dreamed of another little boy he’d never met before, one with a cloud of dark hair and startling blue eyes. The boy took his hand with a shy smile, and Ignis squeezed his fingers, and that is where the dream ends.

    It’s the most vivid, detailed dream Ignis has ever had, as though it’s a sight he curated carefully for years and years in order to recall at the drop of a hat. Well into adulthood, he still has that dream every now and then; a dream of himself, very small, and that boy, even smaller, and their two hands joined.

    It’s one of his most treasured memories, for all that it isn’t really a memory at all.

    Summary

    He’s on the bus when it hits him.
    They don’t touch me, he thinks dazedly. The realisation carves a hole right through him. He remembers Akaashi’s hand gentle at his wrist when he asked him out. He doesn't remember anything after it.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja’s time is moving again.
    Seconds and minutes and hours and days.
    Gone is the subway –the expanse of eternity that had surrounded him like a silent blanket for long, lonely millennia.
    Gone is the Fourth Wall, leaving him to deal with his own emotions like everyone else, without unfair advantages.
    Gone are most of his powers, except the flickers that remain when he sleeps too deep, when his consciousness slips a little too far, and he feels the weight of the universe push him down. This one thing, he keeps to himself.
    Kim Dokja, once Demon King of Salvation, once Watcher of Light and Darkness, once Oldest Dream, is now simply Kim Dokja, 31 years old, unemployed. No more, no less.
    The apocalypse has ended. The scenarios are gone.
    What is left is him picking up the pieces of his life to try and make them fit back.

    Kim Dokja wakes up, heals, grieves, and loves.
