Baku Erich Part 2
It repeats. Night after night they bound between the teens, working to give each as much sleep as possible. Night after night Erich worries over the first boy, the teen with fire-orange hair and torn soul. He and Alexis do what they can, press fragments of their Selves against his soul like makeshift bandages, but …

Baku Erich Part 1
His wandering is not due to starvation. Humans live so crowded together, packed in tiny homes stacked one atop the next, that he could glut himself on nightmares every night and never eat them all. He bounds from home to home, following the murmured cries of ‘baku-san, baku-san’ to those who want their dreams eaten, …

A Token, My Liege? Part 6
The courtyard is cramped, jammed full with every active knight, mage, and prominent fighter in the castle.

A Token, My Liege? Part 2
Shiro carefully closes the door to Hat’n’Clogs’ lab behind him and strides away, keeping to the back hallways and secret passages as he does. He hadn’t known what to expect when Urahara had given him a ‘trust me’ look and asked him to conceal himself, but… Finding out there is rot in the knighthood was …

A Token, My Liege? Part 1
Inspired by this prompt from Corvidprompts. Uryuu slinks into Urahara’s hidden lab and drops into a seat with a silent sigh, exhausted and depressed and one intolerant word from going rogue. Instead, he soaks up the quiet of the gently-lit room and tries to relax, setting his glasses aside and draping himself over the table …
