    Summary

    After several long seasons where famine doesn't let up, Techno's people make a decision. A human sacrifice is needed in order to bring better blessings to their island. Techno being picked, it's an honor.

    Except that Techno doesn't want to die. And he's stubborn enough that he might just be able to beat the ocean in that battle of wills.

    Unfortunately, the arctic land that he ends up isn't much more hospitable towards him. The vampire buried under that arctic land, well. Humans might be even more precious here than fire...

    Technoblade is trapped in the arctic, starving and freezing to death. Phil, a starving and freezing vampire, finds him first.

    Summary

    "M-My dad said you, you’d,” the kid says, swallowing. “That if I didn’t, that if I didn’t behave, he’d sell me to you. And you, you would…”

    The shock burns away immediately; the ashes condense into a murky, muted sort of rage.

    He stays still for a long moment, then pulls himself up against the wall. “Okay,” he says monotonously, taking a step toward the kid, and the kid- flinches. He flinches.

    Jason reels back, not speaking yet, not trusting himself not to yell. And when he does speak, he says:

    “Come on, kid. Let's go say hi to your dad."

    Summary

    "W-where am I?" she asks, more than half-afraid to hear the answer.

    "Raccoon City Police Department," he says. "I'm Leon Kennedy."

    Grace's mouth falls open. She stares. And stares, and keeps staring.

    That's why he looked familiar. Because that's Leon's face, minus maybe thirty years. He looks like he's her age.

    What the fuck?

    Summary

    Hands went up into his hair and yanked- harder and harder, as if the pain would shake him awake. His panic broke the quiet of his orbit, gasps and sobs going unheard. He wanted to run away. He wanted to run, to flee, to leave- to wake up.

    To look away. 

    "Please." Neptune choked, collapsing on the ground. His entire being looked unstable and sickly- even if his gravity felt lighter now. He hated it. He absolutely hated it.

    "I'm sorry. Come back" He pleaded through his cries. He hit his head with his fists, multiple times, trying to wake up. Wake up. Give me my moons back.

    Give me my babies, and I will never leave my orbit again.

    Wake up.

    There was no waking.

    Just the silence his moons would now never be able to fill.

    Or

    Neptune hadn't meant for his moons to get hurt.
