    Summary

    “My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”

    Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.

    “She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.

    Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

    “Are you homophobic?”

    “What?”

    “Will you be my boyfriend?”

    “Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.

    “Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

    Summary

    Inspired by Neil Gaiman's American Gods.

    Enjolras is a god, brought to France by the Romans when it was still Gaul. As the centuries have passed, his power has faded as new deities rose.

    --He forgot what it was to be recognized. That is, until the dark-curled man looked at him, blue eyes intent though his cheeks were flushed from the liquor he’d imbibed. His mouth was curved like a bow of Eros, drawn in a smirk.

    “Behold,” he said, “Apollo has seen fit to grace us with his presence.”--

    Summary

    It comes as no surprise to Grantaire when he sees the man, wrought in the colors of fire and wheat and sunshine, and falls for him instantly. Men always want what they cannot have, and why should gods be any different?

    It's only later that Grantaire learns who he is. Enjolras, child of the harvest, a god in his own right with dominion over vegetation and life itself. When he learns his name, Grantaire laughs until he feels sick.

    Could there be anyone further out of reach for the god of the dead?
