    Summary

    The war against Nightmare has come to an end.
    Negativity has receded. The multiverse can breathe again.

    But some battles do not end when the final blow is struck.

    Stripped of the entity that turned him into a symbol of terror, Nightmare awakens in a reality that rejects him, fears him, and watches closely for the slightest mistake. To many, nothing has changed. To others, he is a threat waiting for an excuse.

    As the multiverse struggles to reorganize itself, Nightmare is forced to face a role no one wants to name: negativity still exists, and someone must guide it.

    Between the council’s reluctance, the quiet support of a few, and the intimate bond that emerges between him, Killer, Dust, and Horror, Nightmare learns that surviving is not the same as being accepted.

    This is a story about what comes after the war. About guilt, prejudice, and balance.
    And about continuing to exist when the world has already decided who you are supposed to be.

    Summary

    People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.

    He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"

     

    Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.

    Summary

    Reaper and Error dance around each other, but are nonetheless drawn in. Life gets to watch. As a treat.

    For @SilverDragonMS because of @SansyFresh 's art drive.
