    Summary

    Miraculously, Wash doesn’t go to prison. According to the UNSC, Agent Washington dies on the same day as his former best friend — a still, gray heap in the snow left behind for the last time. At least this time, he deserved it.

    For all intents and purposes, that's how it should've gone. Instead, a higher power takes a rare pity on him, and during the time he’d passed out, he was unceremoniously deposited into the parallel universe where the Reds and Blues pull him out of the snow, spray paint his shoulder plates yellow, and take him home.

    Summary

    A theft at the Kougami Foundation sends Eiji and a newly-revived Ankh to Fuuto, where they work with a certain detective(s) to figure out why both Cell Medals and Gaia Memories are being pursued by a mysterious group. Of course, staying with a domestic-bliss Rider couple is a unique experience, especially when undertaken with an asshole bird you spent several years reviving but are definitely not in love with.

    Summary

    geto suguru knows he is a ticking time bomb, and the moment his tired eyes land on trembling shoulders and bruised knees, he knows he is on the trajectory of detonation – and that when he finally goes off, he’ll take everything with him until nothing is left of the world but ash and ash and ash.

    suguru’s fingers curl in until they’re pressed against the dip of his palm, harsh enough to carve violent half-moons into the smooth of his skin. the girls cowering before him cannot be any older than six years old.

    suguru’s tongue feels heavy in his mouth as he asks: “why are they in there?”

    in between the trying and the failing, suguru finds that he was never unsalvageable.

    Summary

    Shoko lights his cigarette first, then hers. They each take a drag and sigh.

    “Holding up okay?”

    “Oh, you know how it is when your best friend-slash-crush murders your estranged parents and takes off into the night without so much as a backward glance.” Suguru shrugs, having since settled into the strange new normal of a life devoid of Satoru.

    “Oh, so now you’ll admit you were crushing on him,” Shoko complains.

    In which Satoru Gojo defects instead.

    Summary

    “Satoru?” The word rings, fuzzy in his ears as it whines like tinnitus, familiar and heart stopping.

    ‘I’m dead.’ He can’t even hear his own thoughts over the loudness of the world, staggering where he stands, eyes still fixated on the sky, on the sun. ‘I’m dead, I died, I felt my heart stop, this can’t be, it can’t-’

    “Hey,” it comes again, a little more urgent than before, a little closer, another hammer to his ears and all the noise shrieking behind his eyes. He recoils hard enough to go stumbling as a hand reaches for him, covered in flesh rather than empty bone, tan and recognizable. Unbelievable.

    There’s something wet trickling from his nose. Bile stings on the back of his tongue. The words dissolve into the rest of the white noise as he stares up at the blue of the sky, and tries to remember if he’d ever had a hallucination as bright as this.

    ‘I have to be dead,’ he thinks. Somehow, he isn’t.

    Or: Gojo Satoru goes back in time. He makes a couple of changes for the better.
