Summary
There is a terrible grief, in change. But there is a relief too. Basil comes to know this very intimately.
It does not change the fact that he still misses the way that things used to be. It does not change the fact that he wakes up in a cold and still house, alone and wishing he knew how to find his way back home.

Summary
The cops went over to Sunny’s home next. They didn’t permit anyone to follow them, but they all did anyway. Sunny was declared DOA—just like Basil had been. The cause of death for both of them was the same: blood loss from self-inflicted wounds.
...
Hero jolted awake, a strange feeling overtaking him. He wondered what time it was. He shifted, about to sit up, and it was then that he realized he was lying on the floor. He sat up, confused, and looked around.
It did not help. In fact, it made it worse. So, so much worse.
He was sitting on the floor of Basil’s living room. Aubrey was sleeping on the couch behind him. Kel and Sunny were asleep on either side of him.
What the hell?
Or, Hero gets stuck in a time loop, right before Basil and Sunny both end their own lives.

Summary
From the day Sunny was born, there were two absolutes in his life. The first was that of his beloved sister Mari, always by his side, always there when he needed her.
The second was the numbers. Eight of them, to be exact — month, day, year. Springing to the forefront of his mind every time he saw a face… the date that person would die.
The burden of that knowledge, as heavy as it proves to be, is manageable. At least, until he befriends a boy named Basil with but a few years left to live. From then on, a third absolute joins the fray — an utmost confidence that no matter what, Sunny will change fate.
No matter the cost.

Summary
“You remember him,” Chit Sang sounded surprised.
“I remember all of their names,” Zuko admitted. While he was on the ship, his father had sent him every death certificate from the 41st division. There was never any other note, no words from the Fire Lord, just a piece of paper with the name, age, and rank of the soldier who died. Zuko had kept every single one on his ship, reading over every single one and committing their names to his memory. He couldn’t stop them from dying, but they were what motivated him to keep moving, to get back his honor so that he could help prevent deaths like theirs.
.
.
.
Chit Sang's brother fought in the 41st division. Unknowingly, Zuko had become a beacon of hope to those in the Fire Nation whose family had perished in the needless war, to the people who wished for a Fire Lord who will fight for their people instead of power. Chit Sang feels the need to let Zuko know this.- Language:

“He’ll see me. Go ask him. Tell him that he once taught me how to use dual swords, late at night, and that I told him that he’d like my brother Sensu. Tell him that he once tried to give me a dagger with the inscription ‘Never give up without a fight’… but I refused it.”

Summary
The door swings open before Basil can finish. It’s probably for the better; he’s not entirely sure what he was going to say anyway. Kel is sick, so it makes sense he wouldn’t answer the door, but Basil had been expecting to see his mother, maybe his father if she’s too busy taking care of him. Instead, it’s…
“Oh, Aubrey!” Hero grins, leaning against the doorframe. “You’re here for Kel, right? He said you’d probably bring his homework around.”
“He said that? Ugh.” Aubrey pulls a face, adjusting her backpack. “Gross. I’m not going to be here long, I don’t want to catch his stupid bug.”
Hero shakes his head. “Don’t worry about it, I’m pretty sure it’s just a cold. You can go ahead and come inside, he’s just…” He trails off, seeming to notice Basil for the first time. The change in Hero’s expression is subtle. Basil thinks he might not even notice it if he didn’t know the man so well. But his voice is colder when he speaks again.
---
Basil accompanies Aubrey to drop off some homework for a sick Kel, only to run into Hero, who is home for winter break.

Summary
~~Alternative Universe~~
After finding a human baby named Luz behind a stall in Bonesborough, Eda tries to find her parents again. Eventually, though, she realizes it's fruitless and adopts her with the help of Raine. This is a collection of oneshots detailing Luz's life growing up with Eda, mostly from an Eda or Luz POV but I might throw in some other characters, as well as occasional snapshots of Vee's life with Camila. I'll add character tags as I go, so there are more characters than currently listed. -

Summary
“Basil!” Basil’s mother stands quickly, smiling warmly, coming over to greet them directly. She rests a hand on Basil’s shoulder and ruffles his hair with her other, eyes crinkling. “You’re finally here… it’s so wonderful to see you, darling.”
Basil’s mom speaks with a slight Southern drawl. Sunny recognises it as the very same drawl that sometimes sneaks its way into Basil’s voice when he gets a bit sleepy—or when he’s slyly trying to tease Kel. The memory makes Sunny smile a bit, and he smiles a bit more when he sees Basil lean into his mother’s hand.
“Hi, Mom,” Basil greets softly. He rubs the back of his neck. “It’s good to see you too. And you, Dad.”
“You’re getting pretty tall, son,” Basil’s father remarks, as he stands himself. Mirroring Basil’s posture, Mr. Moore rubs the back of his own neck, smile warm but tinged with apprehension. “Did you get our birthday present in the mail? That was last month, wasn’t it?”
Sunny blinks. It’s July. Basil’s birthday is in February.
---
Sunny goes with Basil to visit his parents' house in Georgia. It gives him a bit to think about.

Summary
Basil shuts his eyes. When he wakes up, he’ll realize the whole thing is a dream, and that the walls are a different color, and that he’s in another city, surrounded by strangers even in his own house. He’ll be back at the start of a game he shouldn’t have played, and it would be all his fault.
But when he opens his eyes the next morning, it’s because he’s being shaken awake by a fervent hand. “Wake up!” Aubrey shouts, jostling him back and forth. “Breakfast!”
He doesn’t have the heart to tell her that there won’t be anything but cereal. When he sees her smile, bright like the sunbeams filtering through the film of dust on the windows, he can’t do anything but smile back and say okay. Because the girl pulling him through the corridor can’t be real, and yet she is, and she’s staying.
Maybe this is what permanent feels like.
or: basil and aubrey are sibilings.

A year later, when Alphonse Elric is born with an identical set of marks, one above the other on his shoulder, Hohenheim’s curiosity sinks into confusion.
Trisha coos at her sons’ matching marks and smiles.Or: a soulmate AU where soulbonds are familial rather than romantic, and Ed and Al will always have parents, no matter if Hohenheim walked out on them and Trisha isn't there anymore.
