Because blasphemiliar provided this wonderful piece of music and today I am of an age that isn’t twenty-five for the Nth time for a change.

1028 words. PG. AU.
Isaak & Dietrich on a mission in search of an underwater repository of Lost Technology.

Voices (AU. PG. 508 words. Post-ROM3.)
Voices carry. Ion in the silences that aren’t silences at all.

Persona (G. 1544 words.)
Isaac Butler proves to be a useful persona. One take on the matter if Isaak really were immortal.

Immortality (G. 685 words. Post-series.)
Immortality is its own punishment. A far bleaker take on the possibility of Isaak’s immortality.

Both pieces are unrepentantly daft but still contain enough content that I decided to post rather than delete them, regardless of the fact that they’ve been sitting in my WIP folder for quite some time now.


717 words. PG. AU. Post Empire arc.
Isaak deals with the Orden’s newest member; Dietrich fiddles with hardware and gets called ‘sir’ a lot.
One of those brief experiments in ‘what if everybody in the Orden wasn’t at each other’s throats constantly’ which grew out of pondering over suitable codenames.

Pathway
9689 words. PG. Süleyman’s past; the road that led to the capital.

This has actually taken me over a year to finish but now it's done I can, once that other piece is finished as well, probably shelve Süleyman’s idiosyncrasies for a little while. Unless I end up writing about another version with a wildly different take on military service and the fraternity of the soldiery.


Genesis
4101 words. PG. Isaak and William’s first meeting and the events that led up to it.

Following on from Revelation I didn’t actually mean to write this as a continuing piece, again over a year later, but there it is alongside another further piece to be finished about the beginnings of the Orden.

Necessary Lies
308 words. More fleshing out of potential background information for Süleyman. This time on the nature of frontline warfare.
Wormwood
593 words. Isaak reasonably post-Londinium and not so long after having met Dietrich, experiencing what may or may not be pareidolia.

I have days when I think that I’m not going to bother posting snippets to Sunsets but somehow once I have a title nine times out of ten the snippets do actually start to make sense. Or maybe I’m just anticipating some more artsy photography with my phone once a rather pretty absinthe glass arrives.


More tea has arrived at least, though the instant orange tea looks rather suspiciously like those crunchy pieces that translate awkwardly and sometimes go with your rice. I’m sure there’s something distinctly Russian I can make by adding things to the orange base too but I forget what it is.


And aidan_mutou presents this beautiful piece of not quite storytelling, not quite simply discussion of life’s tides. I still don’t have the words to describe it really but it’s a lovely read.

Featuring character death, both on-screen and implied.

On the topic of succession. Isaak and the gravity of couching things in the absurd.

3610 words. PG. Not much more than a little bit of disturbing imagery, small animal death and blood drinking.
The tale of how Isaak first met Cain. Based on an idea of herit's.
