Summary
The universe is not always kind. The universe cannot be kind. The stars are cold, the people colder, and sometimes the people born at the very lowest ranks claw their way up in pain and blood and the world ends up paying.
This was almost that story.
This was almost the story.

Summary
Signora does not remember much of Rosalyne.
(That is a lie. She remembers far too much of Rosalyne, what a fool she was. She loved, and she burned for it. The best thing Rosalyne ever did was die, so that Signora could take her place and wreak havoc on the world that had betrayed them.)
But she does not remember enough. Pyro has a way of burning through memories and time, and besides, that was the deal Pierro gave her: forget your past and we will give you new life as the Eighth Harbinger. And really, what does a dying woman have to lose?

Summary
Kazuha is not a fighter.
It sounds like a lie. The calluses on his hands tell stories of training from a miserably early age. The fire in his eyes and his soul say that he’ll fight if he has to, and he has to. The Vision he carries with him (proudly, because the Shogun cannot take his pride from him even if she takes his soul, his heart, his love) tells tales of determination that reaches Celestia itself.
But he is not a fighter, because he chooses not to be.
It is as simple as that.

Summary
Soda's not really sure who, exactly, he is.
If you were to ask Ponyboy or Darry, they'd call him their glue, the middle brother that keeps all of them in place and not running off to the cliffs and the hills after their parents died. But if you asked them before the car crash, they would say something like "Our brother," like that explained everything, and it kind of did.
Family is everything. When nothing is true and everything is lit in flames, family is there. Soda clings to that belief through his grief for his parents, because he won't let Darry and Ponyboy drift away from Soda or each other. He's already lost his parents. He can't lose his brothers, too.

Summary
An angel, a god, a wind spirit with dreams.
An outlander walks in and he can feel the winds change. An outlander walks in, and the sky shifts, bringing its constellations closer to the ground.
The god feels it, and the god smiles.
The winds around here needed some changing. (The gods around here needed to change.)

Or, Venti. From before the beginning to after the end.

Summary
Venti's gone and disappeared again, 'following the wind' or whatever, and leaving Lumine his "pet project" under the guise that it'll help her find her long-lost brother, Aether.
Weird.
He said it was situated in his office, but in his office is just a bunch of statements from a bunch of crackheads who seem to think that freakish things--impossible things--have happened to them...
But if organizing and researching the thoughts of insane people is what it takes to find Aether, Lumine will do it.- Words:

Eurydice has been away from Orpheus for three years.
A jealous man named Aristaeus brought her into a criminal world, forcing her to leave Orpheus, although the singer had no idea what was happening. Both of them think that this is their ending, but a crack in the Silver King's heart lets them reunite.And maybe--just maybe--they can rewrite their song long after it's been sung.

"Almost all hunters work alone."
"Doesn't make it any smarter."
In which Enjolras is going to save the innocent masses from the things that go bump in the night, and Grantaire is definitely either a lot more or a lot less than he appears. Neither of them can quite decide which it is.

Summary
And the belief lasted for several months, and several months accumulated to a year, and then a whole west-facing wall is filled with tallies. Grantaire has forgotten his own face, forced himself to forget the names etched into his heart. Enjolras. Combeferre. Courfeyrac. Feuilly. Bahorel. Jehan. And the list goes on and on and on.
Grantaire is held for ransom by the Patron-Minette. Five hundred and twenty six days later, the door opens.

Summary
Once, when he was very young, Enjolras had thought that Hitler was like the sun. Now, as he stares vacantly at the smoke shrouding the chimneys emerging from the camp, he thinks that this is what Hitler truly is—he is the smoke rising from burnt corpses and he is the lingering smell of death in the air that Enjolras will feel every day for the rest of his life. This is what it comes down to, in the end—thousands, maybe millions of people dead and more to follow, all because Germany had watched Hitler but had not seen and it had heard him but had not listened. Ignorance is not an apology - at this stage Enjolras doesn’t fool himself into believing there is any way they will ever be able to apologize for all that has happened - but it is an explanation, even though it solves nothing and does not bring back the dead.
He does not weep then and he does not break and beg for forgiveness—but that night is the first of many where Grantaire will do nothing but hold him as broken sobs wreck his body.
(Or, A Book Thief AU that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike The Book Thief.)

Summary
You know the way, he reminds himself.
He holds the image of Eurydice in his mind—the last look she had given him, holding his hands in hers. She’d smiled despite the dirt on her face and the blood on his. She’d leaned in and kissed his cheek, pulled back, nodded once.
He thinks of her. He stands there and lets himself become familiar with the emptiness surrounding him. He starts walking.
//
Orpheus succeeds in persuading Hades to let him and Eurydice go. But he discovers that wasn’t the hardest part. The hardest part lies in the distance between himself and the girl he loves. The distance he cannot turn around to measure.

Summary
“What the fuck? Are you the other fugitive?” Scaramouche snaps. Right, because Beidou had said something about two being her limit. “You’re trying to get out of Inazuma because of the Vision Hunt Decree, aren’t you? If you escaped the Shogun—Kaedehara, are you a wanted man?”
“Why?” comes Kazuha’s voice through the darkness. “Are you going to turn me in?”
After receiving the electro gnosis, Scaramouche boards the Alcor to leave Inazuma.
