Summary
Liir keeps one door open for Candle, and one for Trism. Rain might've believed this foolishly optimistic but, really, Liir does it because he must. Because the alternative is to consign himself to loneliness for the rest of his life, and feckless Liir has never been that brave.
His past finally returns, beaten down by years as they've all been, and somehow realer because of it.
(Sometimes, the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. The trouble then is deciding whether to wake up.)

Summary
“I do not know what Swordfather looks like in his physical form. But I smell woodsmoke.” Mizu inhaled deeply. “Metal in the air, ready to be made new. Grit between my fingers. Gratitude in my heart.”
“Ah.”
“For you…I suppose I do see some of that boy you were.” She could sense Taigen shift next to her. “The taste of metal on my tongue itself, bloodied mouth. An overwhelming urge to destroy you.”
Taigen snorted a laugh.
“It wasn't a joke,” Mizu told him with a frown; though the corners of her mouth threatened to betray her.
“I know,” he said, and she could hear the smile in his voice as well.
AU. Mizu loses her sight to the fire that claims her mother's life. Swordfather takes her under his care, though there are some things he cannot teach her—like how to wield a blade for revenge.

Summary
I set the fire, Mizu had confessed thickly into Taigen's ear, when their mouths were still filled with ash, eyes half-sealed with tears from acrid smoke.
Did you have a choice? Taigen had asked as a response, hauling them forward another step across a bridge, toward another life.
Mizu had fallen silent—so silent that Taigen lifted his chin in worry that he had drawn his final breath without Taigen's permission.
No, the not-samurai had told him then. I did not have a choice.
And Taigen believed it.
Fool.
Post season 1 canon divergence.
Taigen crosses the bridge to pursue happiness with Mizu instead.

Summary
Taigen looks in its direction. Even moving his neck brings a dull ache to his spine and terrible images to his mind — he can break, he reckons, with the barest of gestures.

Summary
Taigen feels a hand on his face, two fingers on his jaw, and he opens his mouth blindly, a starving fledgeling waiting for anything to fill it.

Summary
He’s well on his way to passing out in a drunken stupor, draped over the Bentley’s steering wheel—one of his favorite pastimes these days—when an agonized howl cuts through the air.
Screams like this—they shouldn’t be anything unusual. Not to a demon, not to him. But this one lights his blood up with urgency, pulls at a primordial terror stowed deep, deep within the cavity his soul left behind.
This one is familiar.

Summary
John’s body had been in the back when Jack brought it in, steered the car into the garage with that grim-faced determination Ianto had come to associate with Jack’s own special brand of grief.
He’d pulled up, turned off the engine and sat there in the driver’s seat, a white-knuckled grip around the wheel.
Ianto didn’t ask. Jack didn’t tell, just stood, listlessly, amongst the lingering scent of carbon monoxide when Ianto opened the door for him, jaw clenched and fists balled.
Or
A post-episode coda to Out of Time.

Summary
They’d seen the Dalek ship on the sensors and Ianto had swallowed thickly past the memories, blinked away the ghosts from prior years, the screams and the whine of weaponry. Gwen had looked at him and Ianto had nodded back and that was that; another secret stashed from Jack, another tally mark of betrayal.
