    Summary

    At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.

    While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.

    Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?

    (Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)

    This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!

    Summary

    “A meeting,” Tony doesn’t even bother to hide his incredulity.

    “Yes.”

    “With the Galactic Empire,” he attempts to lighten his own mood with the joke, but the response he gets from Ross makes the blood freeze in his veins.

    “They call themselves the Unitary Galactic Communia, actually.”

    If Tony lets his silence speak for itself, it’s only partially because his throat is closing up on him at an alarming rate.

    “I know it sounds bad at first—“

    “Oh no no no, not at all,” Tony interjects quickly, “this is wonderful news. A communia. A unitary one. Sounds very… organized. They must be people who know how to keep an army. Of galactic proportions. This is great, really. Not debilitatingly frightening in the least.”

    ...
    Alternatively: the freshly pardoned Rogues have complaints, Tony is dead on his feet, and Steve has issues with the handsome alien lord who keeps offering Stark the literal universe.

    Summary

    "Kakeru! We're going to do secret Santa now! You coming?" Haiji yelled as he put the last snacks on the table. They were all gathered in Joji and Jota's room. Well, almost all of them. 

    Kakeru was still in his room, mentally preparing himself. He wasn't freaking out, he was just nervous.

    Summary

    Now that Hakone was over – things were going to change. What would happen after graduation? Aotake without Haiji was unimaginable. Running without Haiji and the others was unimaginable. How could Haiji do what he did? He had built a team from scratch, civilized the lot of them, and somehow led them to this moment where everything impossible became real. He had looked beyond times and distances and tried to find the true meaning of running and strength. He had taught a ragtag group of amateurs about running, racing, competing, life and love. How could Kakeru ever fill his shoes?

    Are you prepared, Kakeru?

    How could I ever be that strong?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Epilogue? What epilogue? This is the sequel this anime needed all along. The fewer tags make this story surprising at every turn. Domestic fluff, teamwork, recovery, protectiveness! This story has it all!
