    Summary

    They are eye to eye then, him and the ocean. Aventurine winces and so do they, wide featherfins beside their face flapping erratically. They stare and he stares back. When the initial shock fades a breathless laugh escapes Aventurine's parted lips.

    “Oh my,” he murmurs. “No wonder they stole you away from the sea to keep for themselves.”

    Summary

    Sunday wakes to a persistent tug on his sleeve.

    His eyelids flutter open, still heavy with sleep, only to snap shut again as the blinding sunlight glares at him mercilessly. A low groan escapes him: there’s something wrong, he groggily thinks, his mind trying to fight off the drowsiness.

    He clearly recalls drifting off in the comfort of a lush king-sized bed, bundled up in overpriced silken sheets within the luxury of a Pier Point penthouse, but if the unforgiving firmness of the ground against his back and the stifling heat of the air are anything to go by, that is definitely where he’s waking up to.

    “—gel?” a small, muffled voice pierces through the haziness — it sounds weirdly familiar, but Sunday can’t quite pinpoint why. Another tug, more insistent this time, “Mister Angel?”

    Tsukasa gets too deep into character. Thankfully, he has a troupe, a sister, and a paternally-inclined Vocaloid to help him get back out—and also give him some perspective about his approach to acting.

    Summary

    It’s not a date. Granted, not many single people would travel an hour out of the city to pick up another single friend, exchange gifts, wait all night for the single friend to wrap up work, and take that single friend to an arranged dinner on one of the most popular date nights in Japan. They’re not nothing, but they’re certainly Not Dating, just like Kurisu is his Not Girlfriend, and he isn’t her—

    Oh, who is he kidding. It’s a date.

    Summary

    “Um, have you ever thought about the fact that he might be in love with you?”

    Stelle froze. In fact, the entire party car seemed to stop, the air growing thick with expectation and denied realization, the words permeating every part of her brain. Even Sunday glanced over from where he sat further down the bar.

    A snap of an imaginary finger, and Stelle’s soul returned to her body.

    “I—I’m sorry, what?”

    (or, Dan Heng is in love with Stelle. Stelle might love him too. But she refuses to accept that it’s actually possible, and it’s only after she figures some things out first that she allows it to happen, and even finds the courage to confess her reciprocation.)

    Summary

    "It was terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
    Stelle thought – since she survived multiple unfair fights and situations where she shouldn’t have been able to walk alive – that she wouldn’t be scared of such a simple thing. Or was it?
    Stelle staggered against the wall of the Passenger Cabin she’d been passing through, and she could swear that the whale-lights that carved the path on the ceiling multiplied, perhaps once or twice. She couldn’t really make it out anymore, her vision blurring.
    Her free hand clutched her chest, a futile attempt to stop the stinging feeling in her chest that only worsened by the second, a scorching heat sent through her body with each surge."

    OR

    After the fight against Fulwish at the TV Tower, the huge amounts of wishes that entered Stelle through the Wishpower didn't remain harmless after staying dormant for a few days. Stelle starts feeling the effects of the Stellaron twisting the wishes.

    Summary

    What if I wanted more of this?

    The headache gnaws. Aventurine relents, retracting his hand back to cold safety. Business, all business, and this night will come to an end. He closes his eyes and tries to dream of dancing once more, of feeling light and young and fleet-footed. It doesn’t last. Nothing does and no one stays. The hourglass turns on its head and all good things run like sand through his fingers. It always turns.

    Summary

    “Come on, let’s make some hot chocolate.”

    “Yay!” March and Caelus cheered in unison. They all followed behind Dan Heng like baby ducklings as he led them to the kitchen cart and flicked the lights on.

    “Do not touch anything, Caelus,” Dan Heng warned. “You too, March.”

    “Would you like some help, Dan Heng?” Sunday asked as the other two slumped on the island with matching pouts.

    “Yes, please.” Dan Heng nodded.

    Summary

    “I suppose a formal introduction is in order,” Stelle drawls. “Welcome, Tingyun, to the Astral Express 2am club. We’ve got a rather low turnout tonight, I gotta say.” She waves a hand at Dan Heng, and than at herself. “Nightmares.” Another vague gesture towards March 7th. “Somniphobia. That’s, uh, fear of sleeping.” She delivers these depressing revelations with all the enthusiasm and gravity of an underpaid tour guide. “Welcome in. Take a cookie. If it’s poisoned, Blame Dan Heng.”

    In which Tingyun discovers she is far from the only insomniac on the Express.

    Summary

    En route to Amphoreus, the Astral Express' transmitters pick up a distress call from a crew of spacers stranded on a small, uninhabited planet, and they make a quick stop to pick them up. Hoping to ease Sunday into Trailblazing with a small mission like this, Welt and Himeko suggest that he go to the surface and assist Caelus, March 7th, and Dan Heng with the rescue-- but when their transport car is caught in a gravity storm and crashes into the planet's surface, they learn that the planet is not nearly so uninhabited as it was centuries ago-- and they might have signed up for a far more extensive operation than they thought.

    Summary

    A pause filled only with Caelus and March's even breaths, and the sound of the film. Then-

     

    “You would do anything for all of them.” Sunday says. Says, not asks. Like it's factual.

     

    “Yes.” Dan Heng responds, as though there is nothing more to say.

     

    “And for him. I had sometimes presumed my devotion to my cause is incomparable to any other, but now I have my doubts.” Sunday muses quietly, and Dan Heng's heart lurches.

     

    or

     

    The Astral Express quad has a sleepover. The Guard of the Astral Express notices a lot of things. He and Sunday speak about relationships, protection, and paradise.

    Summary

    Aventurine has a hard time getting access to super popular singer Sunday's concerts but he gets what he wants in the end and then some.

    Generally speaking, when Aventurine put his mind to getting his hands on something, there were very few things he couldn’t procure. He hadn’t, however, ever had to reckon with a musical idol who had a following of legions of obsessively passionate fans.

    That is to say, he’s tried to get tickets to Sunday’s concerts a half-dozen times now and still come up lacking. Mountains of cash are apparently nothing compared to the tenacity of worshipful fangirls (and boys). The Halovian’s performances often sell out so quickly even the scalpers rarely get their hands on tickets first.

    Infuriating.

    Summary

    This is penance, then, he decides. No matter how his skin prickles and his heart squeezes too tight, this is a pure kind of penance. Aventurine chooses the shape of retribution and if this is it Sunday will accept it. It is only fair.

    or: Sunday may or may not be misinterpreting a drunk Aventurine's interest in him.
