It was easier to be cold. It was familiar. Almost comfortable, after the centuries he had spent alone. He kept all of them at arm’s length, as if denying himself their warmth would allow his heart to slip into torpor, allowing his pain to be put to rest. He hid himself away behind layers of…

Fluffuary Day 2: That One Time…
So much of life was simply the result of chance. No matter how many targets you shot down in training, sometimes it was the turn of the wind that would win the fight. No matter how many reviews you made of the map, sometimes it was pure instinct that lead you down the correct path….
Fluffuary Day 1: At First Sight
“Do you believe in love at first sight?” It was a tacky line, really, and one she’d heard a hundred times before, in a dozen different languages, in a hundred different bars. But that was the game, wasn’t it? That was the dance. They would chase her, make contact — usually just with their eyes…
No. 01: Search Party
D A Y O N E How long now, had he been searching the stars…? Surely longer than was necessary.Surely longer than was sane. He walked in long spirals, traveling backwards along the Empire’s path of destruction, pausing in every crumbling port, every ash-caked planet, matching his bootsteps to those of the Soldiers who had…
Love of the Leviathan: CH 1 WIP
AN: I’ve had merfolk on the brain for some reason or another, so have a silly fanfiction/roleplay!Kajj AU. I’ll probably continue this for a while, I’m quite enjoying myself. It was hunger that called him upwards, out of the comforting darkness that he had made his home. Within the depths, there was little prey. Fewer…
Crelean Hatch Augury

No. 29: “What happened to me?”
He’d been a pillar once. Strong and proud, with a backbone of steel strong enough to hold up the sky. He had been a symbol, a dispenser of justice and its personification, the one who had proven that even the mighty were subject to the laws of their people, beholden to the interests of the…
No. 19: “I’m not as stupid as you think I am.”
Perhaps they could have gotten away with it. If they had been a little cleaner, a little more secretive… perhaps he never would have known. Perhaps he would have stayed by their side, following willingly, still considering them the final incarnation of Mother’s will within the colony. Perhaps. Perhaps. But they hadn’t been. He had…
No. 18: Blindfold | Tortured For Information | “Hit them harder.”
There was nothing left that they could do to him and so: Kajj laughed. “Hit him harder.” Bright red lit up his blackened vision, bubbled copper within his throat. But still he laughed. The pain was nothing. His body was already a cracked and crumbling shell, full of aches that could never quite fade. Pain…
No. 17: Collar || “Leave me alone.”
He could feel it sometimes, when they looked at him. The pull of the leash around his neck. The creak of leather. The clank of chains. Good boy.Good pet. He danced at the end of their rope for their amusement, bending to their will, obeying their Commands, no matter how much he wished to wheel…
