    Summary

    Time is a fickle thing - not liner or ever-set, but branching and ever-changing. Tom Riddle thought he had more of it, until what should have been an every-day occurrence took a turn for the worst. In a blink, Tom Riddle stops existing in one reality . . . And reappears in another.
    (Because much like Time, Magic is non-liner, and she does as she pleases.)
    The next thing Tom Riddle knows, it’s the summer of 1994, and there is a house shaped like a Rook, a man that see’s things he can’t, and a girl that dances around his questions, gives no straight answers, and doesn’t seem to mind the Darkness of his shadow versus hers.

    Summary

    The accusation the Truth had levelled at him had stung, but it had been — well, true. He’d trusted, blindly, in men who’d only been trustworthy according to some bullshit metric cryptically communicated to him by an old man with his own agenda. He’d trusted his contingencies and his double-blinds, his schemes and his whisper network. And what did all that get him? He’d completely lost the capacity to care for those who had entrusted themselves to him, much less the whole country he’d been proud enough to envision under his wing.
    Can he really become worthy of their faith again? Does he have any capacity to care and to protect, now that the illusions have all been stripped away?
    “I’ll be back in the morning, sir,” says the one person whose answer he already knows.

    Or: in the ten days after Roy leaves the hospital, he learns how to cook an egg blind, loses his comfortable pants, prepares for his reinstatement evaluations, dreams of Maes Hughes dying, ponders the domestic applications of flame alchemy, second-guesses everything he ever believed about his role in his country's future, and moves in with his lieutenant.

    Summary

    When Roy Mustang went to retrieve his eyesight from Truth, he wasn’t expecting to end up doing a job in exchange. It couldn’t even be an easy job, of course, because Edward’s assessment of Truth was a pretty accurate one.

    Summary

    Vox looked around. 

    The setting looked straight out of a romantic date movie scene. The crimson-cushioned dining chairs that they were currently seated on were positioned to face each other on the— small but fitting for two— dining table. 

    “So, tell me,” Lucifer began, handling his utensils with the grace belonging of royalty as he started slicing on his steak, “What do you love about sharks?” 

    Vox blinked, dumbfounded. 

     

    Takes place in the 1960s. Here, Lilith disappears this early into the series instead of 7 years. 

    This story is a series of Lucifer and Vox fixing every issue in Hell as the rulers of Hell. As partners. They’ll work together to do it even if they have to argue sometimes, but I’ll be damned if they don’t look after each other.

    That’s the plot.
