    Summary

    After a long summer in the country with his family, Benedict returns to London with paint under his nails and a strange feeling he hasn't quite figured out in his heart. His first port of call? Henry Granville's studio.

    It all gets a bit complicated after that.

    Summary

    “Y’r feet ‘re cold.” Molly mumbled eventually, but he didn’t sound all that grumpy as Caleb chuckled in response. He leant over, pressing his lips against Molly’s and then Essek’s, the contact soft and light. Both responded automatically, kissing back lightly, even though they were both more than half asleep.

     

    It was amazingly endearing and more than a little heartrending. Caleb could feel the warmth of it bubbling up inside him, threatening to spill out everywhere and colour everything a dazzling sunshine yellow. He moved a little closer, all of them a messy tangle of limbs and breathing.

     

    “You’re going to smother us one day.” Essek chuckled, a little more awake than the tiefling, turning so that his face was pressed into Caleb’s neck, which made Caleb hum in delight.

    Summary

    Caleb didn’t know why he had come.

    It had been nearly a year, though the time felt simultaneously endless and like nothing at all.

    Molly had been dead for five times longer than Caleb had even known him, and yet… and yet, here he was.

     

    Or, yet another Mollymauk resurrection fic.

    Summary

    Essek knows about soulmates and soulmarks. He knows they can be platonic and/or romantic.

    But he never knew that he could have one.

    Or more than that.

    Eight people who call themselves Nein are going to change that.

    Summary

    Lucien is defeated, Mollymauk gets a second chance and (gradually) his memories back. It's not easy to find yourself having missed so much. Being surrounded by the people who love you helps.

    I'm bad at summaries, but basically, as much as I respect Tal's decisions about his characters, I think it would make for a more interesting story in terms of identity, love and all kinds of nuanced relationship beats if Kingsley didn't pop up. This is an attempt at it.
