    Summary

    "Urianger," she repeats finally, and he hums in affirmation. "Would you wash my hair?"

    For some reason the request - made in a hoarse whisper - makes his chest ache for her like nothing else has thus far. He makes his way over, noting how she keeps clenching and unclenching her fists so he takes her hands in his, slowly rubbing his thumbs over her wrists. He imagines he is cradling the flame of her soul and holds her hands as tenderly he would that, never wanting to see it snuffed out. 

    --

    The Warrior returns from a night in Bozja, haunted by the ongoing war. Urianger tries to pick up the pieces. Done for woliangerweek 2021.

    Summary

    Against all odds, he was alive. Barely. Washed up on the shores of Kholusia with nary a single memory to cling to, Emet-Selch found himself mesmerized by the achingly familiar soul of his intrepid hero.

    Summary

    She is an amalgamation, this she knows. A gestalt of voicemails and holovids, of messages on a screen and words crooned into a phone. Memories bundled into memory, fed into her like silicone into a mold. He is pouring data into the core of her-- what some proponents might call a soul, these days-- in the forlorn and pointless hope of one day being able catch sight of a flicker of true recognition in her eyes.

    She has not been programmed to pity, but she feels the thread of it nonetheless: it must be the sentience catching.

    Summary

    Hythlodaeus plays matchmaker. Hades is annoyed but thankful.

    “Shouldn’t you.. go flirt with her or something?”

    Aghast, Hades stepped back. “No.”

    “An interesting response. How long has she been coming in here?”

    Hades went tight-lipped, but loosened under those blue eyes. “Several months.”

    “And yet all you’ve spoken about is Greek mythology. Hmm. Well. At least you’ve scored yourself a nickname. That’s quite something.” Hythlodaeus fumbled with the cinnamon. “What about her? Did you give her one? The look on your face says no. Strange. I expected a man with your undeniable charm and good looks to be a veritable god speaking to customers—or crushes. She is a crush, isn’t she?”

    He narrowed his eyes at Hythlodaeus. “Has anyone told you you’re insufferable and annoying?”
