FIAB is open

ficinabox is open and I got so many wonderful treasures! And that after I resigned myself to maybe not getting a gift at all because I was a very late PH and had only requested two fandoms. Lucky me! Behold my riches:

waiting for the fog to lift by Odaigahara, Hermitcraft SMP
2.6k, gen, Etho & Cleo, amnesia
Summary: The zombie definitely saw him, but she just stood at the bottom of the ledge, not bringing out her bow or anything. Etho wanted to go down and stand close to her– she’d be the slightest bit taller, broader, with a cooler body temperature than his, she’d be relaxed as soon as she could see he wasn’t bleeding too much– she would not be those things, because Etho was letting his brain run away with him and this was one hundred percent a trick.
“There, is that better?” the zombie called up to him. Etho tensed. “I literally murdered those other guys, just as I promised I would. Are you finally convinced now that I’m not here to kill you?”

2.9k, gen, Etho & Rusty & Decked Out 2
Summary: Iron golems weren't people. That had to be fundamental, that they weren't even as sentient as villagers or Jellie. Etho had never been enthusiastic about iron farms himself, it was true, but if iron golems were people then Tango in particular was one of the worst monsters in all recorded history. So Rusty the Golem couldn't possibly be worried about Tango.

2k, gen, Scott & Cleo
Summary: “Do you feel like you’ve died already?” Cleo asked.
