Summary
Dex's bag goes flying across the room, slamming into the wall next to the window of their hotel room. Derek winces as something crunches on impact, but it isn't his stuff so he doesn't say anything. It’s not like he doesn't understand Dex's anger this time; unlike during the weird, half fights they always seem to devolve into, where Dex’s anger could easily veer off a cliff of sheer incomprehension.
Dex and Nursey share a hotel room after a rough game.

Summary
A train station, his train station. With two dark tunnels that led nowhere, and believed him, he had tried. Wilbur had walked along the tracks, fully prepared for a train to burst out of nowhere and run him over. That hadn’t happened, instead the world had turned fuzzy, then he had passed out and woken up on the bench, cold and sore with a sense the world didn’t want him to try that again.
He always woke up on the bench, no matter what had happened to him. He was stuck sitting on that bench and waiting for a train to come pick him up.
Or; Dream brought Wilbur back to life, this is how it happened.

Summary
“Have you ever been on a date, Tarou?”
Tarou paused, noodles dangling midair, hovering at a midpoint between his mouth and toppling onto the table.
“No.”
He didn’t drop dead. The honest truth. Sonoi couldn’t help the soft smile seeping into his facial features. Of course, he was fishing for a moment like this by mentioning the holiday in the first place. Opportunity shined down like a spotlight, and Sonoi was up on that stage in the center of it all.
“Why don’t we go on one then?”
“Valentine’s day is for couples Sonoi, we aren’t dating.”
It was said plain, objective, factual. Like Tarou was reading his grocery list outloud and needed Sonoi to jot it down for him. So sterile, so matter of fact, polite even. Yet, if Tarou wasn’t here besides him Sonoi only knows he would have thrown himself to the floor in something akin to agony. It was not the first time Tarou had done this to him, set all his nerves on fire and left him a writhing mess on concrete. But here, in front of him, that would be uncouth.

Summary
The war has lasted almost a decade.
She's a strategist. He's a defector.
They are enemies turned necessity turned something far more dangerous.There is no redemption here. Only blood, betrayal, and the quiet between bombs.
This is not a love story. This is what love ruins.
Dead dove. Do not eat.Author's Note/Disclaimer:
This is a Dramione fic set during a prolonged wartime AU where love doesn't save anyone—it ruins them, slower. It is a deliberate subversion of romantic tropes.This story contains morally grey behavior, emotional manipulation, psychological trauma, graphic violence, and unreliable narration. It explores the question of what happens when enemies become something other than lovers—something worse, and more intimate.
There will be no happy ending. This is a grief ritual disguised as a narrative.
Please proceed with care. Dead dove. Do not eat.
