Summary
One day Light, motivated by self-preservation, lets Ryuk get a little closer. This is dangerous for Ryuk given the depth of his feelings for Light. But he finds he can’t stop himself, despite what it means for his own likelihood of staying alive.
“The nothingness was crippling. And here Light was at the end of it, an oasis in a meaningless existence, reaching out to offer something that was irresistible. Water poured through hands that couldn’t hold it. Wind flowing to breath that couldn’t catch it. A pinprick of callous care brought to an orb of self hate grown enormous, but fragile to bursting. And the danger of that. The fear as it approached, not as a stab but as a kiss.”
Or, what if ‘Bad Bishop’ had gone a little differently.

Summary
Richie blinks and rubs his chest. “Am I dead?”
Eddie shakes his head and smiles up at him with this face, this perfect, impossible face that hasn’t aged a day since the last time they laid eyes on each other. He’s the same, right down to the tie Richie fixed in place just before they lowered him into the ground, some thirty years ago. He remembers now.
“You’re back to wearing glasses,” Eddie says, like that’s the most out of place thing happening here.

Summary
“You know, you might be the only thing alive that knows my name. I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping, but it must have been long enough for people to have forgotten.” The stag finished the last of the berries and stared at George wonderingly. George chuckled, plucked another handful to offer to it, and continued, “I’d gone to sleep tired. And I wake up tired. Tell me, do you think that’s fair?”
The stag, because it was a stag, did not reply.
But George didn’t mind that, either.

Summary
Dream understood the risk he was taking. If power corrupted, then divinity consumed. How many war gods had spawned from people unable to tame their violent impulses? How many ordinary men had been turned into natural disasters?
But Dream was young, sound of mind, good at heart. He was sure he could handle the burden of becoming a god.
(He was wrong.)
[A retelling of the story of the Dream SMP in which Dream is a young god, George is his tether to humanity, and history is working against them.]
