    Summary

    Touya Todoroki has been dead for eight years.

    He spent four of those learning the magic they told him was beneath his station, carving containment glyphs into his own flesh to outlast a fire that should have claimed him long ago. He's spent the remaining four bound to a coven. He has a plan. It ends with the fall of a king and, in all likelihood, his own, and he has made his peace.

    Then his coven pulls a halfling from a trafficker's carriage, golden-eyed, crimson-winged, too beautiful and too ruined to be anything safe, and Touya makes the grave mistake of caring.

    Keigo makes a graver one: he falls for his mark.

    Summary

    The feather taps once against his skin. Yes.

    Dabi's never had someone who answers. Never had someone who listens, who provides, who kills without being asked and leaves the proof like a love letter.

    He doesn't know who's watching. Doesn't know why. (Scarred. Broken. Worthless. Why would anyone choose him?)

    He knows the feathers press close in his pocket. He knows the gifts keep coming. He knows that when he's hurt, someone bleeds for it.

    It's not healthy. It's not sane.

    It's the only love that's ever chosen him first.

    -

    OR: Five years of courtship through stalking, murder, and feathers. Dabi's pretty sure this isn't how relationships work. (He's also pretty sure he doesn't care.)

    Summary

    That had never been part of his plan. Leaving Vash, hair blackened and his body and mind flayed by Knives’ own hands, in the care of strangers—as Millions Knives himself slunk off into the desert sands to die. His body had started to disintegrate before they even touched down on the sands outside the church, shedding pieces of decaying matter and stardust as he staggered towards his brother’s salvation. The energy it had taken to rebuild himself from bones would not last into the night, and Millions Knives did not want Vash to watch as he crumbled in agonizing slow motion.

    So, Knives leaves. He slips out the back door while the father and child of Mesa Probe Church tend to an unconscious Vash, on silent, padding feet scattering energy in his wake. An apple tree sprouts from one shallow footprint; against his better judgment, Knives grants the seedling a burst of his own fading power as his cloak slides from his shoulders. It would be put to better use, he thinks, given to something that intended to grow rather than rot.

    The child tries to call for Vash when Knives turns his back on the tree.

    —And then Millions Knives walks into the dune sea of No Man’s Land, and he does not die.
