    Summary

    It all slams back at him like a train in high speed—the end of Operation Strix, the reveal of their identities, the state of their "fake family" status. Or the continuation of it, despite everything else. Or maybe in spite of everything else. He remembers them hugging, and Anya crying, and Yor crying, and him thinking that this can't be real. He realizes he's thinking that again, right now. That none of this can possibly be happening.

    "Oh," Anya's face turns to disappointment, and she climbs her stool again. "It's okay, Mama, it’s just Papa's thoughts having a crisis again."

    The war is over. Twilight still fights one, this time inside his own head.

    Summary

    He follows her gaze, watching the scenery outside lazily scroll past. “You were such a brat back then.”

    Anya glances at him. She doesn't have to tilt her head so far up to meet his gaze, now. Her smile doesn't waver. “I’m the brat you chose.”

    A conversation on the way back.

    Summary

    She wishes a part of her weren’t so weak to the crinkle of her husband’s eyes and the rarity of his smile, so eager to see him receive a fraction of the gratitude he’s inspired in her.

    ~

    A small, silly part of him wishes that this moment could last forever—engulfed in the warm voices and bubbling meals and bright bouquets he’s denied himself for a lifetime.

    or, Yor and Loid discover little things that remind them of each other.

    Summary

    He asks, “Are you alone, Yor?”

    She looks at him, then, and her red eyes seem to almost glow. They’re the exact color of freshly spilled blood, but still, somehow they are warm. Eyes that he would not attribute as belonging to Death.

    “Not right now,” she says.

    --

    Five times Death does not take Loid with her, and one time she does.
