    Summary

    “Truly, it’s beautiful.”

    “What," Boothill laughs, "my bloodlust?”

    Argenti shakes his head. “Your dedication to justice.” He reaches out to take Boothill’s hand. “You have a beautiful spirit, my friend. You awe me with every encounter.”
    |
    That knight, that fudging Knight of Beauty… he won’t stop calling Boothill beautiful.

    Summary

    Immortal and monstrous he may be, Dainsleif is only human. He has never once been immune to all that she does, all that she is. To the blasphemous and grotesque, the perverse poetry that writs itself upon his flesh, awakening that baser part of him which somehow still remembers want.

     

    Or,

    Defeat, excavation, and consumption, in lieu of a civil conversation like the starved freaks they are

    Summary

    "Do you want to write a thesis with me?"

    It should have been a relatively normal question between scholars, but it made Kaveh's heart speed up its erratic beating. The last time they'd tried writing something together, everything had cracked open and engulfed him in a spiral of insecurities and suffering.

    And yet… they'd come a long way, hadn't they? They'd grown an entire fucking tree of wisdom together — with no serious squabbles this time around — and had come out walking side-by-side. Perhaps they could, yes, seek knowledge and craft something together this time.

    "Yes," he answered. "I do."

    Alhaitham and Kaveh and two research papers they collaborated on, ten years apart.

    Summary

    “I’m not going anywhere,” he says. “You’re the one who left.” It comes out bitter, like wine aged into vinegar.

    She sighs, slips her calloused fingers between his. “I know,” she says. “I miss you anyway.”

    Night after night, he dreams of a woman in a field of flowers.

    Summary

    There’s no finesse in it. Illuga is out of patience, and the wet drag of Flins’s tongue is only adding fuel to the fire. He presses his hands to Flins’s ribs, skin so cold it’s burning, as if he could dig his way into his heart. Illuga keeps him there, muscles flexing when Flins tries to wiggle away. His hands come to blanket Illuga’s own. At last, a furrow appears between his brows.

    You don’t know what’s good for you,” Illuga spits out with the pieces of his aching heart.

    Maybe Flins will grasp onto one of them to keep.

    For once, Flins is the one who got hurt in the line of duty. Not too happy about it, there's only one thing Illuga can do.
    (Fuck him.)
