    Summary

    “We should go on a road trip,” Kris says.

    Ralsei blinks. Attempts to contextualize his surroundings: he is on the floor of Kris’s room. Various empty chip bags surround him. Kris is sprawled out at his side on their back. Their phone is balanced against a tissue box and currently playing a movie. Ralsei reaches out to pause it—Thelma and Louise. Right. He…remembers that. Halfway, at least.

    Kris says, “oh, did I wake you up? Sorry.”

    “No,” Ralsei says, “or, yes, or—I don’t know.” He pauses, swallows. “What were you saying?”

    “Me. You. Road trip.” Kris nudges him. “I don’t care where. Just—away. You know? We’re adults. Nobody can stop us!”

    Adults. Ralsei sure doesn’t feel it. Not here, in Hometown, where sometimes he has to catch himself, remind himself that yes, he’s safe here. That she won’t find him here. That he’s blocked her number and he has an entirely new one besides. That in four days, it’ll have been four years since he…

    “Okay,” Ralsei says, and he takes Kris’s hand. “Road trip. Let’s do it.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    i'm not even a huge deltarunehead or anything but i found this fic searching for fics that mentioned Sidney Gish and like-- god. god. GOD!!! absolutely incredible fic. i adore it so much. so so very much. the imagery is so evocative, the dialogue cagey and avoidant and broken but -- in the same breath -- hopeful or wistful or yearning, clawing desperately towards something. and it's so beautiful. and it's so sad.

    it's about when you try so, so very hard for something and it just can't work, not for lack of trying but because the game was rigged and you can't call foul. and it's about being stuck in that little margin and finding something beautiful-enough in it, enough to stand back up, tell the ref to give you another shot, maybe-- maybe-- maybe.

    it's a fic i think a lot about. i've always loved bad-idea roadtrips. i want to write something like this some day, and if i get very lucky i'll do it half as good as this.

    Summary

    ...The original series actually does a lot of foreshadowing for the tone and plot points explored in the reimagining. I feel like no elaboration is necessary, as it should be clear to someone with an as in-depth understanding of the work as you do.

    (Below that is a response from user ALPHYS:)
    omg… ok 1st! i rlly appreciate the time it took you to write this!!!
    second did you really use ‘the animation director that lasted for literally less a season said so’ and trivia from the 199X unreleased gega senisis game manual as evidence in the same post

    just absolutely wonderful. i love the format, i love how it ties together two characters that don't seem at all related at first but over the course of the fic you start going "Wait. Wait. There are Things Tying Them Together..." it's so masterfully done. all-timer for sure.

    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

    absolutely breathtaking fic. truly feels completely in-tune with the source material, having something somehow more intimate than a dialogue with it. it's raw and vulnerable in such a special little way. i show it to everyone i know who's finished reading Dungeon Meshi because it truly feels like required reading. it's basically a canon epilogue to me. i hope it comes back from the war one day...
