    Summary

    “To be shinobi is to endure.”

    The only reason Ono Toshiko thought she survived her consciousness waking in her third life was because she had those words ringing in her head.

    The thought of having to start all over again every time she died, of being denied the peace of an afterlife, was a horrific one.  Forging new bonds and finding new loves in each life only to lose them one after another.  Being eternally ground down by life and loss.  Forever denied her rest.

    Still, she’d been raised a shinobi in her second life - and no one could say she hadn’t been an excellent one.

    She would endure.

    And perhaps, in this third go-around, maybe hang on until she died of old age.

    You know.

    For once.

    The irony, when she realized where and when she’d been reborn, and as who, did not escape her.

    Summary

    She gives herself a year, maybe two, before she dies. Whether as a pawn in a game she cannot possibly play, or in the hands of the many monsters that pass through her father’s mind- She is a dead girl walking in more ways than one. Or Anastasia Graham, reincarnator, realizes very quickly that to be reborn in a world of monsters, survival is a how long can you last, not the ultimate goal.

    She does not mean to survive- she will, however, live in whatever little time she has left.

    Summary

    “Um.” Kim Dokja winces at his inability to form words like a complete and utter moron, “So, I don’t know you and your circumstances but I can offer to house you for a night?”

    While Kim Dokja’s internal screaming has reached a new crescendo, he doesn’t quite manage to take note of the man’s silence, which could be comparable to palpable shock, but he does hear him say, “You… don’t know me?”

    Kim Dokja gulps nervously because is the man seriously asking him if Kim Dokja knows that he’s a wanted terrorist?? Kim Dokja shakes his head a few times in quick succession.

    Epilogue!AU in which Kim Dokja returns from being constellation-ed without his memories except his name and Yoo Joonghyuk finds him three years later.

    Summary

    In which the author has an aesthetic appreciation for Red-Heads. An inside joke within my readership, really, in which I had a strong preference to write about Red-Heads who have complex, more than likely tragic, backstories. Not truly interconnected, spans genres, fandoms, and levels of age.
