Summary
Her life is not her own.
When she woke up after drowning, there was nothing left that truly belonged to her anymore. Not her life. Not her body. And not even her mind.
Her existence all boiled down to fulfilling the debt that was 'owed' to her and trying to find her own way through the fragile and nebulous thing that was 'reality', that she could figure out the thin line between who she used to be and who she was supposed to be.
Minoru wants to believe that such an answer to her question is out there somewhere, that there may actually be some good in the world if people like Kyoko and Hicchan exist, but it's a struggle and not one that's fun or easy to get through.
[Drabble series. SI wakes up from a ten year coma after dying and tries to make sense of everything. Eventual Hibari/SI!OC pairing with some one-sided SI!OC/Kyoko pairing and various others. Vey immersive and just as confusing/distressing for the reader as it is the character.]
[Slow burn; Slight AU]
*Updated 3 to 5 times daily with a week break between arcs.

Summary
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
-Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park
Kit never wanted any part of this. He never wanted to be resurrected, or turned into a dead warrior for a dead god. He never wanted a modified Ghost, never wanted to fight for a dead cause. He never wanted to hate everything. He never wanted to drag the beautiful shipwright, his only friend, down with him. He never wanted any of it. Why did they do this to him?

Bruno Bucciarati assembles his team; Leone watches

Bookmarker's Notes
Pars pro toto is a type of figurative speech—wherein a part of something is used to denote the whole. Of course, the part someone decides to use, happens to also denote their own perception of that whole, reveals what the speaker finds most noteworthy. In picking his parts, Bruno casually ignores the untold quantities of military-grade ammo that Aerosmith carries, Purple Haze’s very existence. Narancia just sees; Fugo just strategizes. What weapons?
Mista’s arrival throws a wrench in this poetic evasion of truth, because it’s nigh impossible—linguistic gymnastics or no—to conceive of his role on the team as anything other than—
“I’m your gun, boss,” he grins, stitching bullet-pockets into the lining of his hat while the Pistols ride around on the blades of their ceiling fan like a rodeo. A barely-healed arrow-wound sits pink and shiny under his Adam’s apple, “you saved my life, man—thirty fuckin’ years—I owe you big time. I’ll be your gun; just point me where you want me.”

Bookmarker's Notes
"I have the full makeup kit. I was going to turn you into Frankenstein's monster so you could lumber forth now and then and be scary. Not that you really need makeup for ... House?"
Beer, House thinks. Turn around, go to fridge, get beer. He does that, barely seeing what's in front of him because he's mentally on his own sofa with his shoulder against a silk sleeve against Wilson's skin, and he's back in the living room before he discovers that he's holding a bottle of something called Gingkoda. Something that came from the health food mecca and the cap doesn't even screw off. Which is just as well, since if it did he'd have opened the repulsive stuff by now. He should be doing something, but he's standing here like a dumbass while Wilson aims that concern and those bright, dark eyes at him once more.
"House?"
"What?" House says.
"You ... it's okay. You don't have to ... it was a stupid idea." Wilson's smiling, but it's forced, and he looks disappointed.
Oh, hell.
"No," House says. "Frankenstein's monster it is."
"It'll ... work best if you let me do the makeup. I, I was in musical theater. You are going to mock me for that, right?"
He's sure he will. He'll mock long and hard, once he gets past imagining Wilson's fingers all over his face, and how that will feel, and why he wants to know.
"Are you okay?"
No. No, he is not okay, he is looking at the edges of white teeth and noting that there are no fangs with this costume and that's all right because they would get in the way of, of he doesn't want to think about what. What he's already thinking about.
"Fine. Leg hurts; need to sit down. Can I trade this crap for a Heineken?"
Of course he can. Wilson's hand brushes his and then stops, clasping firmly. "You are not okay. House, look at me."
House swallows hard, and does, because there's no way out of this except to go on the attack, and all his offensive forces seem to have decamped for parts unknown.
"What's ... have you done something? Are you really cleared to be over here?"
"No. Nothing you don't know about. Yes, on the clearance."
"Then ... right. Pain. Go take up the whole damn sofa, please; I'll be with you in a moment."
"Wait. Why do you want to do my makeup?"
"Because ... because I know how. Theater, remember? Mockery?"
"Sickly green with some stitches hardly requires expertise." He leads the way to the counter, with Wilson following as if pulled by a string. The Gingko brew, he thumps down there before turning back to his own very worried Lord of Darkness. "What it does require is that I have to let you touch me."
"I ... I said ... you know you don't have to, to do anything. I just --"
"Wanted an excuse. A reason I would maybe go for. A reason you could tell yourself and reasonably believe." Where the powder is thin, at the edges of Wilson's ears, House can see a faint flush of pink. Nail, head. This is fantastic. This is not happening.
"Forget it, House. I just thought --"
"You were wrong." Damn it, that was supposed to feel good, making Wilson twist a little, but he's crumpling instead, his silver-ringed hand in his goth-kid hair, turning away like that, still Wilson. "You idiot," House says, softening his tone. "You think I can wield a, a ... whatever you put that shit on with? You want the monster, you'll have to create it."
"Pretty sure I already did," Wilson's vivid black lips curve into one of the most enticing shapes House has ever seen, and now it is really time for alcohol, now now now. House makes another assault on the refrigerator, this time with better results: one beer for himself, one for Count Chocula. Who is wearing an earring, and how has that escaped notice until now? Right there, above the juncture of the jaw and the jugular, which would probably be a good place to oh hell.
House takes a deep, deep breath, and limps off to the couch. "You need to watch more movies," he says. "If you did, you'd know what happens to the guy who creates the monster."
Wilson sinks into the cushions beside him, dangerously close. Not close enough.
"Sooner or later," says Wilson, "it eats him."
For the second time that night, the legendary Gregory House has absolutely nothing to say.
