In Your Dreams

by Post_it_Notes7

A direct sequel to Wishful Thinking (spoilers ahead for those who haven't read it)Out of the corner of his eye, the warrior caught a flash of a blue cape and a pair of yellow eyes as a figure slid behind one of the surrounding pillars, swathed in the shadow. He bit down a hiss. So he is going to eavesdrop. Tsk.Not too long ago, maybe half an hour at most, Galacta Knight had been flying a certain pesky knight back to the castle after getting the promise of receiving a tour of the place. He’d be honest for once, he had been looking forward to it just a bit, but no sooner had he touched down, releasing his grip on the other, had the guard commander—Waddle Doo, had been his name—found them and passed on a message. The King of Dreamland wanted to see Galacta Knight. Meta Knight even had the audacity to nod and then silently walk off in the other direction, pretending all the while that he wasn’t going to spy as the winged warrior was led away by Waddle Doo, and off to the throne room.--Or, Galacta Knight attempts to settle into life in Dreamland, and Meta Knight attempts to solidify a friendship.It's all easier said than done.

Look Im Sorry Please

by Cat_in_the_Desert

A distant knock cut the conversation short, and the two exchanged confused glances.“I didn’t invite anyone,” Mumbo defended himself.Grian only rolled his eyes, disappearing from the counter to appear a few moments later in the kitchen doorway. “Want me to check it out?”“No!” Mumbo immediately rushed to the doorway, stopping only when he would have to go through Grian to go any further. “I can check, it’s fine.”Tilting his head, Grian asked innocently, “Why can’t I? They wouldn’t even see me. It might be someone you don’t want to talk to. If you answer it, they’d know you’re here, but if I did….”“Yes, well, it could also be someone I do want to talk to, and you would scare them away because of that.”Grian responded with an exaggerated offended gasp. “I can’t believe you would accuse me of that, Mumbolio.”Another knock rang out, interrupting the exchange before Mumbo could make a retort. Instead, he sighed. “Please let me through.”-or, Mumbo and Grian, vampire and ghost respectively, live rather solitary lives in a mansion a short distance away from civilization, until someone comes knocking and refuses to be scared away.

Control

by Ackerhardt

In the White Room the only goal Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had known was the one his father forced onto him, the goal of becoming perfect. However, he'd come to quickly realize his own goal, the goal of being completely free. A goal that had caused him to run away with the aid of his butler to the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing School. He would've thought that that would've marked the end of his struggle, but in truth, it had only begun. The school was anything but merciful, and now he has to be extremely careful to keep up his facade, and to not get expelled. That in itself is already proving to more difficult than he'd originally thought, especially with the newly formed Ayanokoji Group pushing the concept of companionship onto him.

He was supposed to be looking for Spoke. At least, that’s what Zam had instructed him to do along with the other guards. Flame ended up going into the forest, not expecting to find someone else instead of the target. “Easy bro, I’m not a threat.” he quietly states. “My name’s Flamefrags...” he continues, inching closer. “Stay back.” the demon warns through gritted teeth, prompting the other to stop in his tracks. “That’s close enough.” he frowns. OR, AU where imperial fire duo meet under different circumstances and Flamefrags takes care of an injured Wemmbu

waitin’ round the bend

by persephonie

“Such a shame,” Satoru says, sighing. “Oh, well.” “What do you mean?” “It’s such a nice night.” He gestures to the moon, the river, the bridge. “The perfect view for two—in fact, one might even call it romantic! Too bad those two happen to be you and me. I just think it’s a waste, ’s all,” he gestures to the space between them, “since this could never be.” Utahime gives a snort of contempt. “For once, Gojo, I couldn’t agree with you more.” Satoru and Utahime, and the things they share on bridges.
