"Every story is true if you tell it right.
What I can tell you pal, is that what I'm 'bout to tell may not be known yet, or there're many versions of it.
But, I can assure you, whatever y'hear or understand of all this, there’re will always be only two options: Tell it, or do it right.
Otherwise, it’s better remains untold."

Summary
A collection of drabbles/one shots that take place in the 'Playing Nice' universe. Updated infrequently.
Chapter 1: Meticulous
[ “Exos...can fairly easily use modifications to fit our wants and needs, and they can be even further customized.” He tilts his head back to look at Shaxx properly, “Your would-be killer came prepared, that’s what I’m ‘getting at’.”
It only takes a moment for the realization to bloom visibly across Shaxx’s face, followed quickly by a curious quirk to his mouth, almost a smile, “Interesting. That...makes a lot of sense, considering.” A pause, then he’s shifting Felwinter’s leg closer, further up, “Though, you’ve never...I wonder, is that something you can also do?” ]

Summary
[As he comes closer, Felwinter can see the steam curling from the surface, and the remnants of suds surrounding the Warlord. Some leftover soap clings to the prominent curve of his throat, trailing down into the dip in the musculature of his chest. Felwinter drifts to the edge of the bath, settling at the far end, and Shaxx finally turns his head to look at him.
“So,” he starts, testing the proverbial waters, “The helmet does come off.”]
A look into the mind and afterlife of one particular Exo.Based on a Twitfic by Gileonnen. This got away from me a bit, turned into a multi-parter, etc.
