Summary
The Drifter tries a different form of Descendia, after today's attempt didn't go so smoothly.
----------------------------------------------------
“The Descendia and everything around it is terrible, especially with all the memories you prefer to never remember again. We’re going to try a different type of Descendia, one that you may very much enjoy,” she tried to explain to him. “Maybe even something to look forward to after a descent every now and then.”
The protoframe had busied himself by playing with a strand of Orion’s hair. Unintentionally, it was his favorite shade of red. Vibrant at the top that followed a deep red blood-like gradient the lower it got. He let go of it with a click of his tongue, acting as if he had to agree to the best business deal of his life presented to him. “Fine, fine. Whatever you request shall be yours. Make it worth my while or I shall never agree to anything you say ever again,” he agreed at the end.

Summary
Working - and then living - with each other had not always meant that Arthur and the Drifter actually had reliable time to spend together, especially with as chaotic as things in Höllvania could often get. The Drifter also didn't want to admit to anyone (especially themself) how much that was starting to bother them for reasons beyond just wanting sex again. Luckily, they finally got the chance for some proper time with the man they were dating, and the two of them take full advantage of it to at least alleviate the easier of the two problems.

Summary
“I miss you, A.”
Arthur closed his eyes. The words sank in like warmth after too much cold. “I miss you too, sweetheart. More than I’d like to admit.”
“Then admit it anyway, I want to hear it.”
He huffed a laugh. “Fine. I miss you so much it’s pathetic.”
“That’s better.”
—
Verden sets out on a longer than expected mission—Arthur sleeps poorly. Trains harder. Pushes himself too much. Misses his mate.
After being in a relationship for half a year, three weeks without Verden leaves him wound tight, running on instinct and want, barely keeping the beast in check. When Verden finally returns in a blaze of voidlight and violence, restraint shatters—and Arthur will do anything to reclaim what’s his.
(Second Part of a series, but can be read as a standalone!💙)

Summary
"Arthur stopped short, jaw working. He wanted to push him away, to snarl that Verden didn’t understand. But the stubborn heat in Verden’s gaze made it clear he wasn’t going anywhere.
Finally, Arthur grunted. “Fine. But you stay close. No heroics.”
Verden’s mouth quirked, the tension loosening just enough for a grin. “Funny, I was about to say the same to you.”
Arthur snorted, shoving his helmet on to hide the way his lips twitched. “Bloody cheeky…”'
—
Arthur Nightingale thought he’d gotten used to the monster Entrati made of him—helminth armor skin, glowing eyes, sharper teeth, retractable claws, and the cursed rut that drove him into isolation every few months. What he hadn’t accounted for was Verden.
The Drifter was supposed to be just another teammate, another survivor clinging to life inside the ruined mall. But Arthur’s instincts didn’t see him that way. They snarled 'mine' every time Verden laughed with someone else, every time someone leaned too close.
