    Summary

    It isn’t everyday that a 30 year old associate litigation lawyer gets kidnapped and tasked with saving the Underground. Catch: she has to work with her former arch nemesis. Oh and she’s dead if she doesn’t succeed.

    The air in the room shifts. Jareth’s smirk fades—replaced by something colder, darker. His gaze fixes on her with razor precision.

    “That,” he says, voice low and steady, “is where you’re mistaken, precious thing.”His tone is no longer amused. “I’ll tear through every last fool on that tribunal and set their precious chamber to ash before I let them put a hand on you.”

    Summary

    The farmer’s a pretty girl, but she doesn’t take well to second chances. She’s nice enough to his grandparents, but she always keeps her distance around Alex. And it’s a shame really, because he kind of wants another chance. When he sees her laughing with Harvey or Maru or Penny, the laugh seems to escape from her, like she did her best and couldn't keep it in. If she ever gets a glimpse of him, she stops. It’d almost be funny if it didn’t tick him off so much.

     

    The farmer has never been able to resist disappointing people. Alex is well acquainted with disappointment. But for some reason, he just can't stay away.

    A story about two boys who never learned how to say what they mean, and the love they can’t name.
    (Or: boys, music, miscommunication, and the kind of longing that tastes like blood in your mouth.)

    Summary

    Alex blinked, jaw tight, and let out a breathless, humorless laugh.

    “You really wanted to get that one off your chest, huh?”

    Sebastian said nothing. His expression faltered for the first time—something in it caught between regret and defensiveness, like he hadn’t meant to show his hand quite so much.

    Then, quietly, he said, “Maybe if you stopped pretending to be someone you’re not, people would actually stick around.”

    The words hit like a punch to the gut. They both knew exactly what he meant. And Alex—no matter how hard he tried, no matter how deep he buried it—couldn’t pretend otherwise.

    A shaky breath escaped him. His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles went white.

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    ══════════════════

    Or: Alex is caught up in the past, and Sebastian is sick of it!

    Summary

    -----

    It was never a secret that Sebastian intended to leave Pelican Town. That he wanted to be a city boy, not a small town boy. The Farmer, Alik Moss, had started to change his mind about that though.

    For a time, anyways...

    And then he broke up with Sebastian when it seemed like they'd be announcing their engagement any day. Broke up with him, broke his heart, and Sebastian went to Zuzu after all.

    Now, years later, with a lot of personal growth (and a great deal of VERY unhealthy coping mechanisms) under his belt Sebastian finds himself drawn back to Pelican Town. Back to the quiet as a respite from the city that he loves but feels lonesome in.

    But nothing is the way he remembered... He's in for a lot of surprises. A lot of shocks. And the resurgence of something that he thought he had let go of many, many years ago when he sees Alex on the arm of Alik Moss. Alex... Hiding misery behind a not quite real smile.
