    Summary

    Chastillon was filled with the ghosts of Laurent's innocence. It didn't matter. He didn't think of it. He was silent as he rode, and his mind was hard at work on other matters. The plans he had so meticulously been making, he now set about tearing apart and rearranging. Now he was contemplating winning.

    His path to the border strewn with pitfalls and traps of his uncle's making and haunted with memories of the past, Laurent is forced into relying on the unlikely assistance of his brother's killer. This is an attempt to examine Prince's Gambit from Laurent's POV.

    Summary

    The problem, Hikaru decides, is that Yoshiki is kind of a wimp. Yoshiki's gotten away with it for all these years because he's always been taller than the rest of them; no one's picking him out as an easy target at first glance. But if you know how to sniff these things out - and Hikaru does - Yoshiki's got that unmistakable wounded-animal quality to him, like a deer limping just a bit as it moves through the herd. The sort of guy you can't help but want to push around a little, just to see how far he'll let you take it.

    Hikaru doesn't like that other people might be starting to see it, too.

    Summary

    "You know," Hikaru says. "If the heat's too much of a problem, I can make myself colder. I could be, like, an icepack for you, if you want."

    (About prey imagery, instinctive fears, sharing a bed, and the strange physicality of having a body.)

    Summary

    The thing is, sometimes– oftentimes Hikaru feels the primordial urge to split Yoshiki into half. To tenderly rip out his beating heart and consume that pure, beautiful soul so unlike his own.

    But if only Yoshiki would grant Hikaru a forever place beside him, then maybe that would be enough.
