Summary
Whenever you see an injured bird, your first thought is how vulnerable it is. How easy it would be to break it, to tear the flesh and bone and feathers, to wrench its wings from it’s body. The part of you that is still a war slave catalogs the weak points, the places to find as to tear if more easily. The beast thinks about how to use the flesh, the bones, the feathers. How to take every part of it for yourself.
You don’t listen to your first thoughts often.

Summary
Fear has dug it’s heads into the gyri of her brain, and caresses the sulci with delicate razor sharp fingers. Her thoughts fall disjointed, out of order, scattered. Primal panic overrides her higher brain functions, shuts off all unnecessary tools for survival.
She has lost her faith. And now all that’s left is the sensation of being followed. Of faintly hearing footsteps that stop whenever she stops walking, of flickering shadows and a sicking feeling in her chest. She has spent so much time under somebody else's thumb, so much time as a tool, a pawn, in somebody else's game. She though she escaped.

Summary
why does life slumber? because life slumbers. it is a tautology, a truism — it is akin to saying red is the opposite of green because green is the opposite of red. it’s recursive — they ask the dreamers, why does life slumber? they do not ask the ones who've never been in a dream, who’s whole life has been looking out into the snow. she thinks that if your life was different, you would have a different answer, and after every id-suicide, you would have a different answer.

Let it spill onto your teeth,
Canines sharp. You, pink
And devoted, cunning and
Cruel. You, the mirror of
Her. The thunder.

That matters.) -

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has three problems: 1) he’s an NHL superstar 2) he’s hopelessly in love with his supposed rival, and 3) apparently writing fanfiction about it has cursed him with biblically proportionate bad luck.
Between engine failures, fractured ankles, choking incidents, apartment floods, broken noses, fire alarms, and getting stuck in elevators, a reasonable person would stop writing.
Ilya Rozanov is not a reasonable person.
(A documentary of one man’s war against the AO3 author’s curse.)

Summary
“Mizi said she became a man because she wants to live like a human being,” Sua tells Luka.
Luka doesn’t respond at first. She gives Sua an utterly uninterested look akin to okay? or maybe, do you think I care?
/// canon divergent, post canon; Luka ended up at a sanctuary, and Sua came back as an android.
