    Summary

    "Maybe they’re memories from a past life,” Kai jokes, leaning back against the counter. He seems entertained by the very thought. “Some people do say that’s where dreams come from.”

    Martin laughs good-naturedly, but shakes his head and gets to sweeping. “Maybe so.” A past life. What an amusing idea.

    Martin Higgins dreams of a woman with sharp eyes and a tired smile. He always wakes with a thundering heart and a wide, empty, aching chest.

    (Or, the heart remembers what the mind forgets.)

    Summary

    ”Do you know what this means?” She stares at the box of chocolates linking them together, stares at his fingers, then lifts her head to stare at him—hoping, praying he’ll understand.

    He peers at her curiously. “…Do you need me to do something weird for you again?”

    Lucy finally takes everyone’s advice and attempts to show Natsu how she feels. It’s… not all smooth-sailing, to say the least.

    Summary

    Ivee looked at her, confused. "No! No—you misunderstand. Before you, Link always looked tired. Exhausted. My dad used to say that he'd come in looking like a dead man walking. But ever since you came…" Ivee reached out and placed a hand on Zelda's shoulder. Her gaze was sweet; kind. "Ever since you came, he's looked happy. It always seemed to me like he was looking for something, in the past. But I think he found it when he met you."

    Zelda takes one final walk through Hateno as its resident.

    Summary

    "Is that how you want to fall in love?" He asks, drowsily, quietly.

    She jerks around, staring at him for what feels like an eternity. Emotions brim brightly in the brown of her eyes, as if she's about to give up the most important, vulnerable part of her. As if all that she's ever wanted was to give it to him.

    "Yeah." Her voice, no louder than a whisper. "Yeah, I think so."

    Of windows, seasons, and slow change.

    Summary

    She throws her arms over his shoulders, her fingertips brushing across the back of his neck and setting his skin on fire, and suddenly nothing is funny anymore.

    The team goes undercover at a ball for a mission, but Natsu winds up catching a little bit more than rogue mages.

    Summary

    "You mean," Karl pulls him closer, tries to breathe him in one final time before he slips through his fingers forever, "so much to me, you know that?"

    Sapnap's hold on him tightens. Karl allows himself to believe, for only a second, that he doesn't want to let go either. "I know."

    "No," Karl laughs, wet, and hopes the tear stains he's left on Sapnap's jacket dry before he notices them, "you really don't."

    Sapnap is getting married. It shouldn't matter as much as it does.

    Summary

    karlnap week day one: college au

    "What are you," Dream says, and the words seem to pierce right through Sapnap's soul. "What are you so afraid of?"

    "Dunno." He breathes. "Losing him, probably."

    As it turns out, asking your best-friend-turned-crush to a school dance isn't as easy as people make it out to be — Sapnap learns this the hard way.

    Summary

    Sapnap beams at him, oblivious to the lightness in his head and ignorant of the loud, loud pounding of his heart, but Karl watches the corners of his eyes crease, stares at the tilted corners of his lips, and thinks he wouldn’t ever rather fall in love with anyone else.

    Karl and Sapnap take a week-long trip to Paris.

    Summary

    Sapnap laughs. The ghosts of George and Dream's past selves, faded in his vision, join in. "I love you."

    Karl smiles, fond. "Love you too, nimrod. Now go do what you do best."

    Sapnap revisits a place that was once very important to him, and ties up some loose ends.

    Summary

    Sapnap sinks into him like he's done so many times before, and they fit. Just like they always do. Just like they always will, even when the last traces of their time together fade from Karl's mind, even when Sapnap's touch becomes foreign and unfamiliar to Karl's skin, even when Karl leaves, leaves Sapnap with empty arms and an emptier heart, with a cold chest and the bittersweet knowledge that they'd been perfect, once.

    Or, Karl forgets, slowly but surely, and there's nothing Sapnap can do but watch.

    Summary

    "I don't think..." Fundy pauses, pushes his hands deeper into his pockets, and forces a trembling breath between his lips. "I don't think you were ever quite mine." Dream shifts. Fundy hates how his mind engraves that movement into his memory. "Not the same way I was yours, at least."

    After the wedding, Fundy and Dream have a talk.

    Summary

    "Come over," the blonde pats the empty space on the branch next to him, sending George a grin that sparks a wildfire in his heart and leaves him burning, "you're just in time for it, too."

    George thinks he'd gladly burn, especially if Dream's every little action is the fuel for the flames. He'd relish in it, even, find a home in the fire and turn to ash against the heat of Dream's lips. He'd let himself burn, but only if Dream's the one that burns him.

    Three times Dream keeps his promises, and the one time he doesn't.

    Summary

    They come back here every time, Dream thinks, a little bitterly. Back to this stupid mistletoe and its stupid traditions, back to his stupid best friend and his stupid feelings for said best friend.

    It's like they're driving around in circles. On a constant roundabout. But every time Dream tries to steer them to the exit, the path that will lead them to more, George takes the steering wheel from him and puts them back on that same, sickeningly curved road.

    Or, three times Dream finds himself under a mistletoe with George, and the one time something is done about it.

    Summary

    What is this? Karl thinks, and he's almost dizzy. Everything seems to be moving too fast yet nothing seems to be moving at all, Sapnap looks too good under the burning sunset, and Karl wonders what it'd be like to move in, submerge himself in those dark, barely blue-tinted eyes, tiptoe and press his l–

    Oh. He thinks, and everything suddenly seems to make sense. Oh.

    It's like a supernova, the way the realisation explodes in his mind, behind his eyes, in his chest, scattering stardust through his veins, from ends of his hair all the way to the tips of his toes. It fills him with something that sparkles, that bubbles and tingles and makes him feel so, so light and so unabashedly happy.

    Oh.

    The DreamSMP crew working in a café: A Series Of Interconnected Events

    Summary

    "You didn't tell me that he'd be here." Tommy seethes, taking a step back.

    Phil frowns. "He's your brother, Tommy–"

    "I don't care!" Tommy bursts out. His eyes are alight with a rage-fuelled fire. He turns his magma-hot glare onto Techno, and Wilbur feels something in him break. "He stopped being my brother a while ago."

    Wilbur watches the remnants of his family come together and fall apart.

    Summary

    "You've chosen your side, then." Dream finalises quietly. His stomach is heavy.

    George releases a breath through clenched teeth, and his shoulders slump. "Yeah."

    Dream seeks George out on the night that he's dethroned.

    Summary

    desiderium - an ardent desire or longing especially : a feeling of loss or grief for something lost. 

     

    “You see, the king is the most powerful person on the board. He rarely moves, but when he does, it comes with great danger. Still, his choices lead the group to victory, that's why he's the most important piece.”

    Dream smiles at him, soft and shy, “But even in the end, you basically lose the game without the queen.”

    He doesn’t need to know the innuendos, he doesn’t need to know all the double layered meaning to it. George knows Dream too well, his heart too open, he says the words before they even leave his mouth.

    “So, you’re the queen now?” George says, fiddling with the king in his hand.

    “As long as you’re the king, of course.” Dream chides, looking down at the board,

    “Does that mean you protect me now?” George smiles, impish and coy. He spins the piece in his hand.

    Dream looks back up. “For as long as you’re King. I’ll be your Queen for as long as you want me to be.”

    Summary

    And it's moments like these, where it's just the two of them, where Dream looks at him like he's the sun and the moon and everything in between, that he dares to hope. That he dares to imagine. What would it be like, for them to have each other?

    Five times Dream says "I love you", and the one time George says it back.

    Summary

    "Where are you, Mori?" He breathes, and his voice is carried away by the soft breeze. "Won't you come back?"

    "Please..." He tilts his head to the stars, closing his eyes as he feels tears burn into existence. "I miss you."

    The seventeen years in which Ilpyo tries (and fails) to forget.
