    Summary

    You'd wanted more than anything for things to be different. You'd wanted more than anything for them to stay with you. You'd wanted more than anything to be understood.

    Well. Those sure are all byproducts of your brand new, more complicated problem. You'd say you should put your heads together to figure it out, but....

    ....you're all sharing the one head.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Accidentally everyone in Siffrin's head post-Friend Quest! Very plausible takes on how badly and how well everyone involved would take it :3

    Summary

    When Shen Qingqiu fails his first mission, he loses the opportunity to unfreeze the OOC function. He has to go through the events of the story in-character as the original goods. He's sure that he's definitely getting human sticked until he stumbles onto a possible solution: if it's out-of-character to not be evil, what if the scum villain got some character development?

    Meanwhile, Luo Binghe is getting paranoid that his Shizun has started being nice to him. In a really mean way.

    Summary

    Fate does not make choices, provided it exists at all. The universe merely exists, unmoving: and thus, under many circumstances, the reason why anyone can feel special when confronted to the extraordinary is nothing short of pure happenstance.
    Hal has been fascinated with the museum’s statue all morning. When this new exhibit suddenly opens its eyes to stare right back into theirs, their curiosity can only grow exponentially… and so will their list of problems.

    Or: What if Hal was the one being paired, instead of the usual protagonist?

    Summary

    “Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”

    They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.

    You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”

    Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”

    or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

    Summary

    The light of the exploding singularity is brighter than anything Obsidian has ever imagined. Breathtaking as a spark of hope when they thought everything was lost. Obsidian would know, they'd worn that feeling like a second skin, loop, after loop, after loop. The feeling still holds them even as pure light, pure possibility, consumes them. Then, nothing.

    Obsidian wakes up…
