    Summary

    These streets are… he falters. He does not know these streets, not at all.

    Venti scrambles to find the nearest reflective object. He finds one on a giant metal-like wagon painted bright red, the glass dark but clear enough to see his reflection. With the rough texture of concrete under his feet, he realizes he doesn't even have shoes on. What greets him as his reflection throws that realization at the bottom of his priorities.

    He is a child.

    "Fuck," Venti breathes, voice high in disbelief.

     

    Or: A new world. A new life. Venti finds himself in a different world and a different story.

    Summary

    “You always talk like that? Like you fuckin' know all there is to know about everything” the scarred man probed, voice dropping even lower than it already was, “or is tonight special?”

    “You always get in people’s faces like this?,” the dark haired man started, “Or are you trying to start something you can't finish?"

    __________________________________________

    A burned-out detective who’s seen too much and a sharp, ambitious newcomer with everything to prove are paired together to investigate a case that quickly spirals beyond their control. What starts as a professional partnership crumbles between late-night briefings, unspoken looks across crowded offices, and reckless decisions that stray dangerously from regulation, the past claws its way back into the present. As the pressure mounts, so does the tension between them, testing not only the limits of the law, but the personal boundaries they swore they would never cross.

    Summary

    Sky turned around, half expecting to find a monster behind him, but he couldn’t make anything out in the darkness and rain. Maybe there was something Time could see that he couldn’t?
    “Everyone!” Time shouted behind him, not taking his eyes off Sky. Sky blinked at him in nervous confusion, opening his mouth but then closing it. It was good Time was getting everybody else, right? They could help.
    The trees behind him rustled. He startled, turning to see the rest of the group stepping into the small clearing, swords and shields reflecting off of their respective light sources. They surrounded Sky, and he was struck by the strange feeling that all of their cautious glares were directed his way.
    ...Did they not recognize him?

    -

    Or,

    Sky has an unfortunate experience with a lightning storm and undergoes some... changes. Everything goes downhill from there.
