Because one of them doesn't exist anymore. And the other might never have existed. But those memories still remain, in the end, whether she wants them to or not. (she does)

In the books of the Time Lords, the Timeless Child has never been mentioned. However, in the bare bones of their History, there is one creature that has been partially credited to their Creation, along Rassilon and Omega. Its name is lost, but there is one moniker everyone has heard before: the Other. (The Doctor wonders which story is true, after all.)

In Detroit, Sam said Yes. It was Destiny, it was his Fate. It was the end of every True Vessel, Lucifer said. None of that mattered - what mattered was this. This feeling inside, that burned and made him complete.

They were all broken. They might be light or dark, but in the end, who wasn't broken? Ventus first saw Vanitas as someone who was hurt beyond help. Then, he started to wish to help him... For the best and worst of reasons.

Em um belo dia como qualquer outro, Shinichi recebe uma declaração de um estranho na estação de trem. Obviamente, a única reação possível a uma declaração vinda de alguém que ele nunca viu antes em sua vida é qual? Correr. Exceto que... ele reaparece e não deixa o Shinichi fugir e, sem que ele ao menos percebesse... Kaito é seu amigo e, talvez, "algo mais".

Shinichi allowed himself this one night to talk to Ran. This one night to grieve. ... and then, Conan would pick up the pieces and live on.

The Master sends a text to the Doctor. A text. Asking to meet somewhere. There is absolutely, no shadow of doubt about it, some kind of plan there. The Doctor is sure of it. (she just might have the kind of plan... wrong)

The Doctor is unable to travel peacefully even once, no matter how much she tries to. When it isn't an alien invasion, it's the Master... who is enough trouble by himself.

Gallifrey lays in ruin around them, and the Doctor... can't quite think about it right now. Maybe some secrets really were supposed to never be shared.

Time runs on, slowly and abruptly, and sometimes... sometimes you're just along for the ride. Even if you're a Time Lord.

The one human who seems not to die, no matter how many times he sees her do so. Maybe this will be it. The one to survive him. (he should never hope for such things)

Some ghosts are still alive, and some ghosts never manage to live at all.

The girl who waited and the story she told through pieces and bits of everything she'd ever loved.

The Doctor knew she was The Last Time Lord once again (though Gallifrey still stood), but, for reasons she could not admit to, she still held on to the song in her mind, the four-beat drumming song. Shame her best friend died on that Mondasian Ship, right?

After saving Akira from the police, Futaba fears something may have gone wrong in their plot, and decides to keep an ear out to him. What she hears… isn't exactly what she expected. But then, Akira might be Joker, but he's also human.

Martha Jones, the Woman Who Walked the Earth. The woman whose faith saved the world. The woman who loved the Doctor. The woman who left the Doctor.

From just a temp of Chiswick to the most important woman in the universe.

His moments of eternity by Rose Tyler's side will never be forgotten. Even if he is never honest about them.

Yusuke is the boy that was, and Yuuko is the one that burns inside of him. Of her. She's the one that thrums, and the one that hides, and the one that dies.

The TARDIS meddles, the Doctor tries to find herself in her past, and Yaz just keeps her company. Sometimes, that's all one needs, though.

The TARDIS never takes her Thief where they want to go. Instead, she always takes them where they need to be.

There is no one who deserves the Doctor's kindness like Professor River Song. Perhaps it is time to let her go.

Sometimes, River appears to the Doctor in her dreams. That is not always a good thing.

One day, Ichigo stumbles upon a bakery and finds more than he ever wished for. He's not sure he agrees with it.

(HANAHAKI AU) A garden blooms its way to death; Ichigo decides it's not worth it to search for help, though, because he is FINE.

[Kisuke's POV of Meet me on the battlefield] There is a war brewing, and it is all Kisuke's fault. And he regrets it, but it is also his choice, and he's learned to live with it. Unfortunately, he also has to bring some other people into it with him.

There is a war brewing, and Ichigo is right in the middle of it. Unfortunately, these type of things tend to hinder relationships from happening.

When Akira was born, so was Ren. When Goro went to a foster home, there was already an orphan there, waiting for him. When the final battle loomed near, Ren decided that there were sacrifices that weren't worthy to be paid, and saved those he loved.

Unexpected things are to be expected. Especially with Seishirou-san.

Some count their share of happiness and sadness. Others are happy simply for having lived.

Because one meaning can have too many edges.

Neither Akira nor Akechi were especially sane. Neither of them had a particularly good life, either. Both of them had problems, as well. Would you look at that?

When Shiho thought she had died, she found herself in a sea of people, lost and unseen, playing a game she didn't know the rules. It's fight or die. She's got seven days to win her life back.

Forever is beyond human concept, but it is not beyond Kohaku's reach. If it's forever Shuuichirou wants, it's forever he'll have.

Kobato knew she would die, she had known from the beginning. Somehow, she still hadn't expected this.

In her videos, Sakura was hers only, and that was all that mattered.

Kakyou had never seen the outside world, and, despite not being particularly happy, he wasn't unhappy, either. Until he first met her.

She was his one and only, and he'd do anything for her.

There's an emptiness in never being called by one's name. It's sick, it's sad, it's cold. Kohane feels like she's dead, and then she feels alive.

The bottle is empty, but it's not about the bottle anymore. It never was.

Seishiro took over Subaru's life like a disease, one day at a time, and way too soon for anyone's liking. Most of the times, it felt just as mortal, as well.

They were reflexes, yet they weren't.

Yuui and Fai were born as twins. It was only natural. They were magic. Unfortunately, everyone else saw it as a curse.

Kurogane was like a drug. The more Fay tried to hate him, the less he succeeded.

When someone is powerful enough, they can bend the rules of the universe, everyone else be damned. (OR: how Yuuko came to be stuck in the Shop and the whole thing with Holic started according to Clow)

Sanity is an ailment, but madness is a process.

Five times Kaito held Shinichi's hand. Once, Shinichi held his. The intentions should be clear.

Kanda Yuu was used to having nightmares. They were part of his life. The only part of his past that still remained. He was not used to having different nightmares, however.

Apathy is more hurtful than any hate, and Allen Walker understands that perfectly. Fear and apathy corrupt people. Kanda Yuu, however, wouldn't let this boy be corrupted — not while he belongs to him.

Trying to run away from KID's fans in a café that was way too small for the heist that KID had announced, Conan wasn't planning on finding the thief himself working as a barista - but, well, sometimes luck does favor him, even if he doesn't always believe so. And just like that, a coffee offer becomes something more. (For Shana Fuijoka's Prompt: "Coffee Dates")

The only reason why Sam ever got the better hand over Lucifer and managed to jump in The Cage - well, he tried not to lie to himself, and the truth was: Lucifer was broken. And sometimes, when the choice is between the best for the world and his own feelings, he can manage to feel guilty for a while. Or forever.

Years later, Harry is before the cupboard. His cupboard. There are memories, there is the past, and there are admissions that, as a child, he would never make. Sometimes, the past is something to smile upon; sometimes, it is but a dark stain.

While she lives on in the hospital, Shiho cannot stop thinking about the her only remaining reason to live. Sometimes, it takes a near-death experience to give someone courage. Sometimes, it still is not enough. (slight Shiho/Ann) (written for Persona Kink Meme)

Morgana was the one to watch movies with Akira back at home. In that process, he was happy to say he learned a lot more of their Leader than anyone else. (written for Persona Kink Meme)

"- In the end, there was just an always." Severus Snape and Lily Evans met each other early in their childhood. During their lives, each of them found their own "always".

Niijima Makoto wasn't The High Priestess of the bunch. Instead, when the voice whispered in Akira's head about their friendship, it very pointedly referred to Makoto as The Hierophant. Wasn't that fitting? (Written for Persona Kink Meme)

... if only Snape could actually quit, he would be damn glad about it. (OR: Severus Snape made many bad choices in his life. Becoming a teacher certainly takes the prize.)

After graduating, Harry decides to finally say everything he ever wanted to say to Severus Snape. By writing a letter. (AU!Snape's alive and Harry went to his 8th year)

Erik once said to Charles, "I'm not the marrying kind, Charles. You should know better." Well, now he's married and expecting a kid - with Charles' baby sister, Raven. And, as always, he ends up choosing the easier way out even though it hurts them more than what he really wants to do. Really - Charles should know better.

Sometimes, even when the worst seem to be the only thing to happen, you just need one good reason to keep going. To Caius, that reason is Yeul, who brought the worst and the best parts of his eternal life. (Title from One Million Reasons: "I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away / but baby, I just need one good one to stay")

There must be a sign tagged on Hibiki saying "I'm single and unguarded. Try to marry me", really. He didn't know why so many people were asking his hand, but... Well, the answer is no. Really — no.

Hibiki accepted to room with Daichi for convenience. He ends up discovering there are a lot more good reasons to room with your best friend than he ever expected there to be. or Prompt: "Make a list of the 10 Best Reasons to Share a Room with Your Best Friend"

The first time they met. And fell in love. And went on a date. And some other first times.

[Part 6 of Starting Over] After breaking up with Ran (without ever even dating her to begin with), Shinichi comes home to the not-so-startling presence of Kaito. And while he doesn't really want to talk, somehow, that's exactly what he needs.

Kaito didn't stalk; he was just concerned about Shinichi. So, it was obvious he should be the one dealing with Shinichi's more creepy fans, right? Right. Only he had permission to trespass into Shinichi's house, after all. [2nd Part of the Starting Over Series]

[4th Part of Starting Over Series] Kaito decides it's time for Shinichi to meet Aoko. Akako is something he totally didn't expect.

[5th Part of the Starting Over Series] Ran and Shinichi talk about their relationship - or, rather, the lack of one. Or: It's necessary to end a relationship to begin another one. Shinichi will realize it later; Ran is smarter than him.

[3rd Part of the Starting Over Series] Yukiko arrives home to someone she didn't expect to ever see again. Kaito isn't sure what to think of Shinichi's mother. [Pre-KaiShin?]

[7th Part of the Starting Over Series] Somewhere along the way of their relationship, Kaito stopped being Shinichi's clingy friend and became… Something else. And, apparently, Shinichi had never been Kaito's friend, and always something else. [Sequel/Second Half to Starting Over - not required having read the first one, but recommended]

[1st Part of the Starting Over Series] It all started when Kaito's dove brought him a message; now, there he was, on Kudou Shinichi's mansion with a objective in mind. [Pre-relationship - KaiShin] [1st Half of Starting Over]

So, Kaito just realized... He was in love with Kudou Shinichi, the newly returned Detective of the East.
