Boil cackled, and Waxer furiously shushed him before he woke anyone nearby. “I’m sorry cyare, I’m sorry, but really? You got lost in the temple? How far could you even have gotten at that point?” Boil wheezed, gleeful tears forming in the corners of his eyes. “Sure, laugh it up. You try navigating a several millennia old temple rebuilt so many times they don’t even have complete maps anymore.” Waxer glared indignantly, but Boil’s continued humor soon had him chuckling along with him. “Besides,” he said finally. “The Force may have gotten me lost on purpose.” “Oh really?” Boil said, finally calming from his laughter, but still grinning. “That’s what you’re going with?” “Sure,” Waxer said with a grin. “That’s how I met Jo.”

After they're reunited on Ryloth, Waxer tells Boil things he never mentioned while he was recovering after Umbara. He tells him what happened during Order 66 and what came after. It's been a long journey home, but it was worth every painful step.

Akk’s patience finally snapped. “I’m trying to be nice, asshole. You don’t have to get an attitude with me. Can you please just—”

He broke off with a sharp intake of breath when he felt a pair of lips press against his. Only he hadn’t moved and the boy in front of him hadn’t either, which meant that the kiss wasn’t real. It was only a fantasy.

He stood there in a stupor as the kiss became more heated, more desperate—a kiss that, if it were real, would have bruised. But then, just as quick as it had come, the phantom lips disappeared, becoming again what they actually were: nothing more than a figment of his—or, well, someone else’s—imagination.

OR the one where virgins can feel their soulmate's fantasies.

Qingming knows that he’s being absurd. Killing Stone was one thing – still able to converse, fascinated by music, making no move to attack. This demon, who has already killed at least once, is quite another. But he’s moved by equal parts pity and pride. Pity for the ocean of pain that he can feel pouring from the spirit before him, enough pain to drown a thousand misdeeds – and the prideful knowledge that everybody here is expecting him to do something unexpected. Boya first met him interceding for a demon, and surely expects him to do it again. The disciples here all want to see him perform.

After defeating the Evil Serpent, Qingming and Boya wish to let their friendship grow. But life gets in the way.

To the woman, the storm outside the cabin walls was a distant concern. The creaking of wood and the rattling of windows, which might have unsettled another, did not reach her. Her world had narrowed to the immediacy of birth. The pain was a signal, a reminder of the life she was about to meet.

Yet, she never would.

Nat tongues her cheek. She’s not really sure who the girl is, to be fair. She supposes she could ask Lottie, that something like this doesn’t supersede the bounds of neighborly curiosity. Except, she can’t, because she has tremendously fucked all of this up. Their relationship has been mangled beyond repair – worse than it had been when they were actively bickering. Now it’s just… nothing, or, worse yet, maybe this is what it’s like to have an enemy. If it was nothing, she wouldn’t need to avoid Lottie. This was clearly quite the ordeal for both of them if even Lottie, harbinger of peace offerings, had thrown in the towel.

Twenty-seven years old with an arch nemesis. What was that about life getting boring with age?

(or: the lottienat tattoo artist x florist au fic where everything could be solved if they just talked to each other.)

Ryuji moved to True Cross to live with his uncle, Lewin Light. He's a live-in housekeeper and errand boy, all in exchange for significant funding for his future. Not overly such a bad deal, he thinks.

What he didn't know, was that the local convenience store has a gateway to another world; one full of creepy figures and demonic spirits. The little town may have adapted, but Ryuji is wholly unprepared for his first encounter with the supernatural.
