Summary
It’s just… the phrase on his arm, man. Not handwriting like everyone else’s but pixel-perfect Speedwriter font. Not the standard black but a weirdly intense deep blue, like it’d been color-picked from a digital paint palette instead of anything in nature. Not spaced normally but with a weird line break in it, like whoever would one day say it to him couldn’t remember the words they were saying as they were fucking saying them. His stupid soulmark:
can i see your
passport?
Gordon and Benrey are soulmates. Somehow, this makes everything worse. -

Summary
The toad, the thing, leaps straight up into the air — and in a burst of violet light, it explodes. Barney flinches back — but in between blinks the thing’s gone, sparks and all, leaving behind only a patch of disturbed sand.
For a moment, Barney’s little oasis is nearly silent. Black Mesa hums beside him and the wind tears through the desert. He stares at the spot the toad had just been, blinking away the pink and violet aftermath.
“What,” Barney whispers, “in the goddamned fuck.” -

Summary
When it first started, Sophie didn’t even notice.
In all fairness, she had no shortage of other matters taking up her attention. A curse to break. A deal to fulfill. A witch, a wizard’s apprentice, and a dog to look after. A missing wizard, who she was rather inconveniently in love with, to fret over. A new business, albeit one without many customers, to run. And, of course, a king, his army, and his ruthless sorceress to elude.
It was quite a lot to manage all on her own.
So who could say how many bud vases, with only a single bloom to fill them, Sophie had missed?

so you accidentally resurrected a wizard by spoondrifts

Summary
“Grateful! Hah!” The corpse hauled himself to his feet, showering her with sod. “You think I should be grateful for this?” He pointed at his face. A piece of skin from his cheek sloughed away on cue and hit the ground with a wet splat. “I’m hideous! How do you expect me to go around looking like a shambling zombie?”
“Well, I don’t know what a ‘zombie’ is,” Sophie said, “but it’s clear to me that whoever buried you was well within their rights to leave you here without a headstone, if this is the kind of person you were before you died.”

when stars decide to burn by lostrambles

Summary
Howl loved things like this. Fate. The universe. Love.
But when it came down to it, Howl loved Sophie more than he loved the fated person on the other side of his string. There was no doubt about it.
Now Justin, the blond-haired man on the other side of Sophie's string, was here. And neither of them quite knew what to do.
Sophie and Howl aren't soulmates. Their red strings aren't tied together, and the universe has other plans for them. But sometimes stars decide to burn, so Sophie and Howl choose to love each other anyway.
