Summary
Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.
Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?
Verso was tired.
“Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”
Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.

Summary
The first time she meets him, he's nothing more than an almost-missed appointment.
~~~
Dean is silent for a long, tense moment, then he gruffly says, "It's not for banishing the angels. It's to summon them. So, it doesn't—it's not to get rid of 'em, but to draw 'em in."
Mitzi can't help but glance up at him at that. His voice is so heavy with so much unexplained pain, and she doesn't understand why, or what angels have to do with it. She knows religion can impact people. She's very aware that it can get complicated, and that it can be a huge source of pain for someone, but Dean sounds grievously wronged, somehow, as if it's a truly personal thing.
She pushes through, focusing back on her job, clearing her throat before murmuring, "Well, I guess we all want angels to visit us sometimes."
"Just the one," Dean mumbles.
"Your guardian angel?" Mitzi asks.
Dean breathes out, "Something like that. As close to one as an angel will ever get."

Summary
Friends make friends stuff all the time, and Jayce did break Viktor's cane. It'd be a nice thing to do. A cane, plus some cool tools, and Jayce will be able to know he's a good friend. He likes this plan.
(Or, Jayce makes a new cane for Viktor. He then makes some more stuff. It spirals from there very, very quickly.)

Summary
Ryoji doesn't know why he finds this so hard. Kissing is like the main thing couples do, and yet he gets so overwhelmed every time.
Unable to take the sudden adrenaline, he pulled back abruptly from their kiss. Minato opened his eyes curiously to look at him, and Ryoji felt his face getting even warmer. The butterflies in his stomach made themselves known, too.
Oh, God. He doesn't know what to do or what to say to the boy. He can just stare at him, speechless and totally enthralled.
He's a total mess, isn't he?
---
Ryoji is having troubles with kissing. Minato does his best to make it more comfortable for him.

Summary
Fear once again struck Makoto. “No,” he replied almost immediately. “Ryoji, I can’t.”
Ryoji put a finger to Makoto’s lips and shushed him before letting out a soft chuckle. “Weren’t you the one to pull out the knife in the first place? You clearly planned to use it, no?”
Makoto had no argument. He stayed silent as Ryoji locked eyes.
“If you’re not going to kill me, then at least do this.”

Summary
"You don't even know me."
"Does that really matter?"
Makoto was quiet again for a while, his eyes falling shut. When he finally turned his gaze on Ryoji again, his expression was cold.
"I'm not sure what about me you find so fascinating," he uttered. "You shouldn't bother sharing so much of yourself with me, Mochizuki. I'll probably make you sad."
Ryoji stared at him wide eyed, his lips parting to speak, but no sound coming out. He felt his heart flutter in his chest again, and he leaned down so that they were eye to eye. Makoto didn't flinch away. He held Ryoji's gaze, challenging him to object. After a moment, Ryoji offered a warm smile.
"I think you have that backwards," he said, his eyes squinting slightly at the corners. "I don't know much, but one thing that I know for certain is that your heart is unbelievably kind."
Makoto's gaze wavered, his breath catching. He let his eyes wander back to the looming silhouette of Tartarus in the distance, and he reached up to brush his bangs from his eyes.
"You don't know anything, then."
--
Mochizuki Ryoji feels an almost supernatural connection to his dorm mate, Yuuki Makoto. Of course, that's by design.

Summary
It couldn’t be possible that they had ever been intended not to know one another. Ryoji didn’t feel as much as a fateful encounter, but an extension to Minato, an organ he’d been born without but needed to survive. It was the only rationale behind why he was known so well; kept so fondly.

Summary
“Do you feel it, too?” Ryoji asked, his voice distinct even over the monstrous sounds of the wind.
Their arms pressed together, and Minato felt his skin tingling through his clothes. “Do I feel what?” he said, and though he didn’t attempt to make himself audible, he knew Ryoji heard.
Cool knuckles brushed against the back of Minato’s hand. “As though you aren’t actually alive.”
Despite everything, Minato and Ryoji are alive.
But they may as well be dead.

Summary
Alastor had a noose around his neck.
There was only one person who could loosen it.
***
Temptation had never strung Lucifer along. He was an angel of Heaven no matter what anyone else said, and he had never fallen whim to any of the sins that humans were so eager to do.
And Alastor, a demon and a sinner who had fallen even further after death, was the most forbidden fruit of all.
He was the very embodiment of blasphemy.
But by God, did Lucifer want him.

Summary
So many bad choices have led up to this moment, standing in the walk-in fridge with his face buried in his hands to choke back what could either be a scream or hysterical laughter, contemplating the Not A Date he’s landed himself, and Sanji cannot fathom how to begin to undig this hole.

Summary
Sanji nearly flinches when a hand plops itself comfortably on his head, petting his hair like he’s a beloved family dog. “Good, good, Sanji! You’re smart bringing food.”
Sanji blinks a few times before turning to look up at Luffy who’s beaming down, eyes curved shut and grin wide, hand still petting him.
His brain feels like it’s malfunctioning, cotton stuffed inside of it and making it hard to think. Good. Good job. Good. Those words cycle around in his mind on repeat.
Then Luffy lets go of him, reaching past him to grab up the stack of lunches and turns, cheering for Usopp or that shit swordsman to go join him, but it sounds muffled and far away under the litany of good good good. His captain thinks he’s good.

Summary
Luffy’s eyes are unfocused as he smiles at Sanji. Robin takes a measured sip of her coffee in the same amount of time it takes Luffy to bite clear through half of his sandwich.
Sanji swipes a few napkins off the table and sets about wiping crumbs from Luffy’s face. “I’m so sorry about him, Robin-chan.”
“It’s quite alright,” she says. And it is because there is something very sweet about the scene in front of her. Robin smiles. One out of seven lights click on.

Luffy, Sanji, the Straw Hats, and how it takes time to notice the obvious.
