Summary
I'm coming. I'm coming. I swear that it's true.
...
Keralis had never really fit, not above or below. Metal-toed boots pounded the pavement.He’d always kind of straddled the two worlds, seeking the in-between, afraid to make the commitment.
His hands were shaking, he was running while trying to see his phone screen. He'd always managed on his charisma, on smooth words and charm. That very same method had almost lost him what he wanted worse than anything to gain. Things like purple orbs that made him think of faraway stars.
Four years. It had taken him four years find his courage, to hold a star in his hands.
He’d be damned if he let some stupid sealing of the bedrock rip it away.
{In which Keralis is running, Xisuma is running, everyone is running, actually there's a lot of running going on...and yeah, the world is tearing itself in two...but the cracks haven't sealed just yet.}

"I tend to deflect when I'm feeling threatened" by Amethystfairy1

Summary
Tango wasn’t sure where the myth that keeping nether-borns blindfolded kept them docile even came from.
He didn't know who'd come up with the idea, nor how long it'd been the norm, but it'd been that way ever since he'd been kidnapped from his pyre and dragged to the over-world, forced into a sick system and unable to escape. After a decade, you'd think he'd get used to the dark. Unable to see, clutching fingers to the floor or against his hair or his clothes, trying to stay grounded. The world got way too loud, everything against his skin felt like it was rubbing him raw, and there was nothing for him to do but sit and wait and hope they wouldn't leave him in the dark for days or weeks this time. That'd happened before.
Now that he's with Zed, he's caught hoping this human who'd been nothing but kind wouldn't do that to him. But then, he knows not everyone is like Zed, he's very well aware. And the last thing Tango could bear is to cause him any problems.{In which Tango can't just say what he means, Zed is confused and supportive, and flexing your influence isn't something Zed necessarily approves of, but there's no way he's leaving Tango in the dark.}

"Sometimes I get so tired, I don't even know myself" by Amethystfairy1

Summary
The dungeon felt like it was coming to life.
The winding passages and frigid rooms, the belly of the beast snaking redstone, and note blocks and jukeboxes everywhere. Tango had been working on it so hard that his physicality had shifted, turning pale and blue to match the ice. Now that the dungeon was open, he felt like all his hard work was finally paying off. That wasn't the issue. His current issue was the hermits were finding the easter eggs a lot faster than he’d anticipated, and the burning dark wasn't anywhere close to done. Luckily, as a blaze-born, he doesn't need nearly as much sleep as over-worlders, and if he just keeps his head down and powers through, he'll get it done in time. He'll get it done. Even if it means a few all-nighters. So what if he forgot his clock on the way into the depths? And maybe he had barely seen his boyfriend for all these months he'd been working, working, working, but he'd be done soon. He'd be done soon.
{In which Decked Out needs a space heater, Zedaph stages an intervention, and Tango really needs a nap}

"They never saw us coming, 'til they hit the floor" by Amethystfairy1

Summary
Tango got it, really, he did.
He was overworking, and powering through rough respawns without taking time to rest wasn’t a good idea, and you could extend the symptom period from the death method, but hey, it wasn’t like he really needed to be able to hear for a few days after taking a warden’s sonic screech directly to the back of the head. There was plenty of work he could do deaf, and it’d come back eventually, no harm, no foul!Or so Tango saw it that way. Zed didn’t agree.
And Tango had always seen Zed as being a bit overprotective, not like he'd ever minded that trait, they'd been dating for years and it had never become any sort of an issue. Then again, there was no issue, not here, not one that Tango was seeing, because this was just par for the course. Grind, build, create, power through, and on the other end they could cuddle up and laugh about it, another one for the record books...right?
Unfortunately...Zed didn't seem to agree with that, either. What he did seem confident in, was that the dungeon was taking too much of Tango. And getting constantly brushed off in favor of it was starting to hurt far more than he could bear to take.
