    Summary

    Akaza's attempts to forget Rengoku Kyojuro are permanently undermined when he finds that his response to being a stranger in a strange land is to instigate a prison break and agree to escort three girls and Rengoku Senjuro out of a warzone.
    And then Kyojuro starts haunting his dreams.
    If only he hadn't killed him.

    Kyojuro finds himself miraculously alive in a foreign hospital, and is forced to look at his life and admit that it has its own value. Talking with Kamado makes it easier.
    As does, to Kyojuro's chagrin, the Akaza he can't stop dreaming about.
    If only he were real.

    It's a story about loss and grief, about rediscovered memories and humanity, about unexpected friendship, about finding a reason to live, about claiming your family legacy while escaping its shadow, about strength and all the places you can find it. It’s about how humans are good; how kindness is never wasted. It’s about two Japanese boys finding themselves while lost in a country far from home.
    It's about not burning yourself to keep others warm, about letting others help you stand, about a pillar letting himself be only human.
    It's about falling in love.
    It's about finding your way home.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    Lestat is sprawled out on the sofa a few feet away, shirt half-unbuttoned, watching the screen far more intently than Louis could’ve predicted. “I like this dark-haired one. He is good with the sword.”

    Louis follows his gaze to the medieval fantasy battle on the flatscreen: a man in a beard and leather armor digging his sword into a monster’s skull, a blond elf notching an arrow into his bow.

    “You’ll have to be more specific,” Armand replies. “You just described half the cast.”
