Nostalgia can become the best of anyone when all you can think about is getting back home to Earth while floating aimlessly within the relentless grasp of space and time itself-- the only company the constant tug of gravity and a scared, dying crew ready to kill anything that steps out of line. Castiel finds himself being the captain of this newly marooned crew lost in a wormhole that suddenly appeared in mid-course to the outer planets. This wormhole, though, didn't quite act as it was supposed to like in the theories back home: it hasn't collapsed or seemed to have become unstable at all, save for the opening and exit disappearing the moment they accidentally slipped into it. All connection they had to Earth, most power, and control is completely lost the moment they enter this anomaly, except for the life support on board-- and even that is dwindling away quickly for the six others aboard Ptolemy 19. Trapped, lost, and dying. Yes, that describes this crew's situation perfectly. ⭐Happy Birthday to @PorcelainSky !

"Sometimes we grow so accustomed to normality that we punish anything that seems remotely aberrant to those of us who only know how to deal with a scheduled reality. It makes us realise that this is why we have never truly accepted those whom are special to our Earth: we're terrified of creatures that bring change with their presence." In the rainy, quiet state of Oregon, we find the story of a 17 year old boy named Ichiru Engel. He has nothing and only sees himself as an undeserving creature that doesn't have the right to even so much as look those -- who bothered to look at him -- in the eyes. He's just a boy decorated in baggy sweaters, scars, bruises, and secrets hidden by patches. Ichiru is just a boy that wanted nothing more than to omit the taste of his own uselessness from his brain. Ichiru is just a boy that will change everything for another person named Klevi Ogamie, the boy that triggered the change even with his own nightmarish memories of his murdered younger brother and father. Here, we find the beginning to an old life colliding with another's to create two new people. Here, we learn that even the most beautiful of flowers can die with the most inevitable, and dreaded, stroke of tragedy. Here, we accept that even the prettiest and purest of people are tortured by those they love. ~~~ //this story is NOT edited// Disclaimer: I do not own any of the pictures and/or, but not limited to: videos or music clips shown above and in each chapter; those belong to their rightful owners unless otherwise stated.

Levi has been a heroin junkie for years, trying to escape the hellish reality that is his life and memories, seeing no other way out. Already hopelessly bound within the deepest crevices of addiction, along comes Eren, a bright-eyed naïve teenager who has his own struggles yet somehow believes he can help Levi to be saved from himself. ~~~ "So what about you, then? You gonna stick around?" Eren nodded certainly once. "As long as you let me, I still do want to help you." The raven shrugged nonchalantly. "It's up to you." "No it isn't." Levi cocked a brow. "I can't help you if you don't want to be helped," Eren went on. "From the impression I'm getting-" "Yeah, I need help," Levi cut in, looking down. "Or maybe I just don't want you to leave. I'm not sure of the difference. But if you're here, you're going to help, right? Then I don't have a choice." ~~~ I do not own SNK.
