Summary
She looked at the stars again. “I like coming to places like this because they make me feel not so old. They are pockets in time, inside of which time hasn’t really passed.”
Nile twisted to lay on her back again, looking at the sky.
“I feel old when I look at you all, and now without my immortality? I am not scared, but I feel like time is going too quickly. I used to be worshipped as a goddess, as someone not from this world. But I am of this world. So firmly of this world. And looking at these hills, these stars? It makes me feel small.” In a voice that was steadier than it was all evening, she added. “So little makes me feel small anymore. But these stars? They have been here since I was born. And they will still shine long after I am gone. To them, I am as transient as any other human that has walked the Earth. And that is a comfort very few places on the planet can offer me anymore.”Basically, Andy and Nile share a night under a sky filled with stars and the stories written in them.

Summary
Joshua has been alive for almost two millennia, and dealing with an equally immortal Jeonghan to try and curb loneliness is usually a mistake. He tries not to break his rule about getting attached to mortals, but he could get attached to a stone at this point just to escape Jeonghan for a bit.
It's lucky for him that Jun is (a) not a stone, (b) very easy to get attached to, and (c) a well-needed reminder for Joshua that while he's immortal, it doesn't mean he's stopped being human.

Summary
"Shhhh." Wei Ying coos gently, fingers running through your hair, carefully avoiding your forehead ribbon. You want him to touch it, to have it, to wrap himself in it and never leave. The desire so sudden and devastating in its intensity it startles you. To avoid those questioning, beloved eyes, you bury your face in the curve of his slender neck, inhaling his scent and feeling the steady pulse under the tender flesh. It feels good. Comforting. "It's okay, Lan Zhan, I'm here..."

Summary
“My name is Mòrag Ladair,” Mòrag said, her throat dry and fingers numb. She may very well have been trembling. She took off her helmet and held it in front of her, giving a deep bow. “I am the current Special Inquisitor, and, as of now, your new Driver.”
“Ah. I see.” Brighid tilted her head and gave Mòrag a secretive little smile. “Well, then, Lady Mòrag.” She rested a hand over her Core Crystal, a beautiful wisp of blue, and bowed even deeper than Mòrag had, her head almost brushing the carpet underneath them. “My name is Brighid. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
--
Mòrag resonates with Brighid, the Jewel of Mor Ardain. What follows after is a lesson in self-care, attempting to discover the meaning of her existence, and the forging of an unbreakable bond.

Summary
The darkness of the unknown has a way with bringing impossible scenarios to life. Gathered amidst formless spirits and constant conflict, a motley, multi-generational crew of allies finds themselves on a path through the dangers of silence and shadows. When the angelic arbiter of this foreign landscape proves to be hostile to change, one has to wonder how they—with their traumas both past and present—will learn to cope.
Holding history so close at hand might not be easy, but they're not alone. After all, the power of connection has far-reaching consequences; if they're not prepared for everything, they'll sure as hell try to be.
(Now with art! It's just in one chapter, but I have plans...)

"He's a clone," the camera operator said.
Guillermo sighed. "Probably not, but if he was a clone it would be of..." he trailed off, waiting for them to fill in the blank.

Summary
He was overcome by an intolerable sensation of wrongness.
Sebastian was beside him, his servants were downstairs, his remaining family a mere carriage ride away, and yet, he felt unbearably, unexplainably alone. He was never denied of his needs, both the physical and emotional ones were met with the utmost precision and devotion of his supernatural lover. But still, that uncomfortable hollowness filled his chest. His mind swirled with a thousand mind-numbing questions and twice as many bleak assumptions, each more detrimental than the last as his breaths began to flutter ever so slightly. This was not panic, nor a sliver of the anxiety that often took hold of him after his nightmares; it was pure, undiluted melancholy.
