Summary
You would have an end to your suffering, the cause of said suffering had said. An end to pain and solitude. An end to your duty. It had fought him for that phrase, trying to force his teeth bare with the ironic amusement of bending those words.
He hadn’t won. It had gotten the grin, while he’d bent himself to defense of his will rather than his face, for that peace would be paid for unconscionably: what he might get out of his own dying paled in import to what it would get. “And you, freedom.”

Summary
How truly lucky she had been, that she could again live in a city with such needs. Maa had cleaned her claws already, of course, but - how lucky, to again dirty her nails in the pursuit of that which bound body to soul!
And Atephamen was ruining it, because he had promised to be here when the shadows reached a fifth of a radian in angle, and he was not.

Summary
The voidship curls in around her like it’s something alive, like the boarding ramp was its outstretched arms to take her back into its embrace. Or maybe more like a gullet, and the girders that arch overhead in the low lumens are its ribs, and it has swallowed her - and that is probably more appropriate, that metaphor.

Your Foolish Heart by Ori_Cat for Reclusiarch_Orm

Summary
This is the most important oath you will ever take; all others will pale before it, and all others must give way to it. If it separate you from the kin of blood and vow, then you will be separated; if it separate you from the kin of bone, you shall go, and their loss be little to you in the face of it. If it separate you from life itself, then you should die, rather than renounce the promises you take today. Endowed with the reason of which you have reached an age: do you understand this?

A Most Imperfect Vessel by Mirradin

Summary
Here's a tale as old as time: There exists a great evil. The people rise against it. They vanquish the evil, but they cannot destroy it. They can only contain it, so they seal it away.
In the end, the seal fails. One might say that this is in fact its role. Stories, after all, rarely concern themselves with the period in which the seal holds and the evil is dormant. They begin when the seal fails, and the evil is released.
You have been running for a long time, Ra Endymion.
