    Summary

    There were boxes and fictions one could try to hide behind. Nightmares, too, and shaking hands, and the best he could do was a story that nobody believed for a moment. Not even himself.
    One thing was true about the shark thing, though — it had been his own goddamn fault.

    (Or, Blackbeard’s crew heals. It takes time.)

    Summary

    Yuri can’t figure Natsuki out. Her attitude, her standoffishness… and, most importantly, why she hasn’t attended their shared lunch period a single time all year.

    --

    Natsuki drops to her knees, crouched down by the vending machine. Her palms are to the ground, and her head is tilted so that she can peer beneath and around the machine.

    How utterly peculiar, Yuri thinks.

    Summary

    Vox has spent years living with his regret, mourning the loss of his dearest childhood friend with noone to blame but himself. But when Alastor not only makes his way to New York, but appears to be working in entertainment as well, Vox decides he's going to rekindle their friendship no matter the cost. As it happens, the cost isn't much... but is forcing them back into each others lives really going to work out the way he hopes? And can he survive his home life long enough to try?
    -
    OR
    -
    Alastor has long since walled himself off to things like empathy or affection, having learned early on that such trust is only ever rewarded with pain. With his radio show doing exceedingly well, a new friend that shares in his special dietary delights, and his ever-looming debt close to being repaid, he has finally managed to claw his way out of the downward spiral that consumed his life for years. A downward spiral that started with Vox. But now that Vox is trying to force a reunion, all of his work threatens to crumble down around him. Can he play nice long enough to settle his debt, before everything falls apart? And... does he care that Vox's own world appears to be fraying at the seams?
