    Summary

    Now that they were out of it, neither Fluixon or Saparata spoke much about that summer: the hazy period of time where they seemed to argue about everything. It was the summer that Sidefall came to live with them, and it had been the summer in which everything went wrong at once.

    or: Flux on marriage, adulthood, the perils of raising his seventeen year old nephew, and what it takes to love.

    PRIVATE-CHAT

    s (@slas_ling) : you dont know anything and you dont understand anything
    s (@slas_ling) : so please stop pretending like you do
    s (@slas_ling) : you dont know me all that well, flux
    s (@slas_ling) : did you know im a man?
    fx (@flx_off) : ????????
    fx (@flx_off) : what did u just say.

    Fluixon looked at that same damn chat message so many times as if it was just a malfunction, but it was there, clear as day and it stared back at him like it wanted an answer from him. S — his new sub-dps who was possibly the best gaming partner Fluixon asked for was a… man who was parading as a woman?

    What?

    PRIVATE-CHAT

    fx (@flx_off) : haha thats so funny
    fx (@flx_off) : you really know how to joke s
    s (@slas_ling) : i'm not joking.

    Oh fuck.

    They're serious.

    Or, when Fluixon tries to win over a certain online friend to stay in his guild just to be dragged down into a rabbit hole of their secrets.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    might be one of my favorite concepts ever?? (incredibly biased cause I used to be an mmo fiend)

    Even from the synopsis it’s peak

    Summary

    “I think I could absolutely climb that.” Saparata said.
    “You’ll fall.” Fluixon shot back instantly.

    “Flux, you don’t even know what I was talking about. You didn’t even look.”

    Fluixon sighed. He did look, and he saw the half-built Acropolis. The single most important building of their settlement, scaffolding stretching upward like an invitation to disaster.

     
    “No.” He repeated, with feeling.

     
    Or: Fluixon’s memories of Theria. Its birth, its rise, and Saparata’s fall.

    Summary

    As Saps drives, Flux traces their route along the paper map. It stretches halfway across the dashboard, thin paper crinkling beneath his fingers. He traces out where they’ve been, where they’ve started, and where they might be going. This highway leads all the way to the coast, where the rest of the world crumbles into the ocean. Behind them is everything that has ever existed.

    or, Flux runs away to see the ocean, he and Saps are soulmates, and only one of them knows how to swim.

    Summary

    The one who has come back from the documentary filming looks like Saps. Sounds like Saps. Everyone thinks it's Saps who has returned, safe and sound, from his six-month trip away on the project.

    Fluixon is the only one who knows the truth. The man who is in his home, who wears his wedding ring, who wears the face of his lover, is not Saparata.
