    Summary

    ::::::::::::::::

    "Would you take a walk with me?”
    Charles sits upright and searches the man’s face. “You alright, Arthur?”
    “Don’t rightly know. Just need to get out of here a while.”
    “Sure, I hear you. Sometimes a man needs some time alone.”
    “Yeah,” Arthur says taking a hand from his pocket to tip his hat and shield his eyes. From the sun? From Charles? “Yeah, time alone. Alone, but with you.”

    ::::::::::::::::

    Charles Smith is in love with his best friend. Arthur Morgan is haunted by grief. When Arthur needs to get out of camp for a while, he asks Charles to join him up at O"Creagh"s Run to "hunt". Much kissing ensues.

    Summary

    It was a nice respite, Arthur thinks, watching Charles stand, the glint of the sun in his dark hair, his eyes far away, considering, but it wasn’t ever meant to last.

    Summary

    “Hey.”

    Charles looks up, squinting against the sun, and focuses on the figure looming above him. It’s a bright day on the mountain, and all this damned snow is doing nobody any favors. “Arthur,” he says. “Good morning.”

    “Huh? Yeah, mornin’.” Arthur tilts his head, scratches at his jaw, and tucks his chin down towards his chest. It’s a very particular mannerism, one that Charles has watched him perform countless times.

    Summary

    If this were a different story, Zack thinks, he would be using his last moments to remember kind, green eyes and a sweet smile. He would be staring out into the raining sky, life running out of him, while making peace with the fact that he would never see his first love again. If this were a different story, Zack would not be left empty-handed, crying out as his friend stumbles away into the remnants of a battlefield. He would not be praying for that blond head to turn, aching to capture the final sight of a cherished face before locking it behind two lids.

    No, this does not feel like a fitting end to this story at all―and Zack overflows with the one childish thought that this is unbearably unfair. In the rare moments that he, as any soldier must, contemplated his death, he never imagined that he would die alone.

    Summary

    Cloud doesn’t have a soulmate. It’s just a fact, and for the most part, it doesn’t bother him. But everything changes when he stumbles upon a lonely god in desperate need of a bath and a warm meal, and as the owner of a chocobo sanctuary for injured and unwanted birds, he’s always had a soft spot for those looking for a new home.
