#though ive only ever gone back on established permadeath plot twice. one of those was leah !

Ok so it seems like a lot of characters in your novel die sooner or later. So… which of them survives in the end? If it’s even possible to say; as far as I understood there are several timelines.

[rubs hands together] this is my new favourite ask!!!!!! in the interest of keeping some secrets (esp bc some actual Reader Friends might see this) i will be vaguely dodgy and just compile a list of chars who Survive by the metric that i've never written a death scene for them; so even if an oc is not listed here, i.e. implied Dead, they might still make it thru canon perfectly fine, i just happen to have a dedicated au where they're butchered horrifically. for funsies <3

also only guys listed on the oc site because i genuinely could not tell you who does or doesn't make it thru less figured out story corners [a/s drops onto me like a piano for comedy] LET'S GO !!

chess (courtesy of being part of the moon core, i guess. gets gored pretty bad by gray but is functionally unkillable. faye also heavily considers taking an earnest shot at him in her motd rampage but ultimately chickens out for fear of breaking the universe apart again)

damia :^)

devon (chewtoy for both friend and foe but he makes it thru <3)

eliada (ON THIN ICE. i still think kizuna should eat him once he returns to a/s but as of now i am undecided if he gets any comeuppance for his..... Various Flaws.)

jack (somehow survives attempts on his life by every single soulless, and jumie) speaking of which,

jumie!! destined to outlive her loved ones in any incarnation, with the exception of platinum road where i am,,,,, i am not saying sky actually might....... k*ll h*r, but [i am exited from this thought immediately and always] so she lives by the grace of me being unable to stomach that hypothetical scenario ._.

kizuna (has to showdown avery in llf. after that it's anyone's guess)

LEAH !!!!!! daughter of all time who LIVES. which was not the case in older canon where she succumbed to her illness between seasons but i FOUND A WAY TO SAVE HER. SHE LIVES and that is the only thing that matters 2 me in this entire novel verse ;-;

linn......... fwiw i've written death scenes for her but u know they're little more than fun pastime ventures and never stick. like, getting gray to kill her is her idea of foreplay lmfao (i digress)

noah :^)

don't start thinking any of these bastards are truly safe tho!!!!! (except leah. nothing will ever happen to leah! i'll torch and burn this entire verse before i let her come 2 harm again) <///3
