    Summary

    Akechi Goro is alive – one of his biggest regrets is alive and standing in front of him looking like he’s ready for some highbrow sports photo shoot when what he really needs is five years intensive therapy and at least five more steps away from Akira.

    No, no, no – the universe is not allowed to shove this on him so soon after it just flung him three fucking years into the past.

    (Sometimes the only way to save someone is to let them save you first.)
    (Huge canon divergence. Akira's past and future affect him big time.)

    Translation in Chinese now available on privatter and AO3 courtesy of coakira2!

    Summary

    He runs as quickly as his feet carry him, passing containers, shelves, only a few meters separating him from the front door. He hears the shouts of the Yakuza behind him as they finally spot him — but they won’t be fast enough to shoot, Akira has already reached the door, he yanks down the handle, pushes open the door—

    And comes face to face with a ghost.

    ___________________________________________

    Five years after the fall of Maruki's reality, Akira has a chance encounter with a certain detective.

    Summary

    In the late third Era, Tholer Saryoni seals a package with wax, and writes: To the Outlander lately proclaiming her identity as the Nerevarine, to be delivered with haste—

    The Nerevarine reads through it, and throws it away. The two never do meet. Dagoth Ur is still slain.

    The Ghostgate falls, the skies are clear over Red Mountain, the blight is over...but the only thing the Ordinators find of Heretic and False Incarnate Aduri is over a dozen empty healing potions and half a rotting arm.

    Almalexia, the priests tell the Dunmer, is no longer in Mournhold. She plans to travel in disguise among the people, living the life of a mortal, and recover her love for the world.

    In this world, it is the truth.

    It’s a coincidence, really, that the Nerevarine—bitter, injured and in hiding— is doing the same.

    But after four thousand years apart, is it any wonder she can’t recognise her own murderer?

    Summary

    In which Time joins the Chain last and nobody bothers to explain anything, because he's got the aura of someone who has his shit sorted already! And, well, when you meet eight ridiculously powerful strangers who introduce themselves with proper nouns for names—the wind and the sky and war and the actual fucking land itself—it’s a reasonable assumption that they would be gods or primordials, isn't it?

    Meanwhile, they're all pretty sure that he's the god...
