What did they leave behind?

Farewell

pairing: unnamed gender neutral human x unnamed gender neutral elf

warnings: death, mention of death

summary: main character mourns the disappearance of a childhood friend, who had to leave due to the end of the human assistance program.

They were only ten when their best friend disappeared. One day, their friend was there, and the next day, they were gone. Years had passed since that day, but they could still recall the panic they felt when they realised their closest friend, their soulmate of sorts, was gone.

Others began to forget about those who disappeared, and those who remembered? They were written off as crazy, insane, not in their right mind.

They were one of the last left who remembered when they disappeared. They could still picture the sparkling cities, the shops they had visited, laughing with their friend. They still opened up that old trunk of gowns and tunics from time to time, brushing their fingers over the shimmering clothes.

Every once in a while, they tried to tell their grandchildren about their friend, but they always laughed it off and called them crazy. They often wondered if their friend was still out there, and if they were, if they still remembered their friend, and if they too felt that pang of sadness when they thought of them.

They knew they didn’t have much time left, they were old, but they were ready. If there was some great beyond, they might one day meet their friend again, lost to time, and they could be happy as they were in their youth.

“I miss you.” they breathed, letting their final sigh out of their tired lungs.

One day, they’d meet again. One day.

Human Assistance Program 2.0

(This was heavily inspired by X-Men: Days of Future Past, and I recommend listening to Line of Sight by ODESZA with it. Enjoy!)

after Sophie and her friends defeat the Neverseen, peace is restored to the Elvin world

the Council decides to renew the Treaty with the other intelligent species and—following some debate—they agree to attempt making a connection with humans again

the Human Assistance Program 2.0 is born, slowly re-establishing contact with humans and exposing them to the knowledge that elves exist and introducing them to their culture

however, the elves' advances are met with disdain and hatred by the humans. especially after they are clued in that the Neverseen used to experiment on humans for the Nightfall project

humans dislike knowing about the elves' existence, they are scared of this species that is so different from theirs

these people eventually make up the majority by spreading fear and using misinformation to get others on their side. they overpower those that voice their support for the Human Assistance Program and form their own organization called Project X (short for Projext Xtermination) to take it down along with the elves

those behind it develop special machines against the elves called Sensors and succeed in destroying the Lost Cities once they find a way to unveil them

the elves that manage to escape go into hiding in the Forbidden Cities but the Elvin population is now on the verge of extinction

Project X turns into a full-fledged witch hunt: any individual that seems to be exceptionally beautiful or peculiar in any way is taken by the organization to find out whether they are elves, which isn't a difficult feat since the Elvin genetic makeup is so different from humans'

if they are found to be Elvin, they are questioned and tortured to reveal anything they might know about the whereabouts of other elves—or any other essential information having to do with their own kind—and are experimented on so that humans can more easily identify how to destroy them

Sophie is one of the few survivors along with Biana, Dex and Linh – all of their friends and family have either been taken, gone missing or didn't make it out alive

they hear a rumor about a certain elf with the power of Chronokinesis—the ability to manipulate time—among the survivors whose powers, when enhanced, can allow for time traveling

so Sophie and her remaining friends set out to find them in hopes of undoing the tragic events with their help

as much as Linh and Biana try to hide them all, it's a difficult feat against all of the Sensors and Project X's gadgets

they almost succeed in reaching their destination, using Sophie's Telepathic tracking skills, when they are found and seperated from each other

all of Sophie's friends collectively protect her so that she can get to the Chronokinetic and reset the timeline. they manage to hold back the Sensors, giving Sophie just enough time to find the elf

she combines their powers at the last moment, and they are able to reach back to the day before it all started

and Sophie jumps back in time to undo all of the horrors caused by the Human Assistance Program 2.0
