    Summary

    “Stolas wait! I'm s-!”

    The imp lunged forward, fingers reaching for curled talons but finding only the cool night air as his leap became a stumble onto the flagstones of the outer courtyard."

    The two denizens of hell seem cursed to fatally misunderstand each other at every turn.

    Blitzø hates always feeling so shitty, hates the guilt that rots out his stomach every time a relationship falls apart in his clumsy hands. Surely there's gotta be something he can do differently, something that would mean he wouldn't have to wake up every day feeling like the worst piece of shit alive.

    After such a savage rejection Stolas can't find anything in himself worth loving. What is it that he's lacking, why does everyone he's paired with end up despising him in the end?

    Or: How the fuck did we end up in this cell together?

    Set just after the events of Full Moon, but before Apology Tour (because I can only deal with so much angst!). I wanted to explore some alternative resolutions as well as some fresh hurdles for the poor fucks.

    Summary

    He doesn’t know how much time has passed.

    It may have been hours, weeks, or perhaps time itself had stopped just on that van, but kept going for everyone else.

    At first, the imp could hear the chatter and laughter in the distance as Verosika’s song burst through his radio. The joy of the people he screwed over accompanied by those very specific song lyrics were such a good fucking match that he couldn’t help but think this had to be some kind of sick joke.

    But even though it had been written about him, Verosika’s song would still play on the radio, had he been there to listen to it or not. And even though he was the subject of the gathering, those people weren’t laughing at him. They were just having a good time.

    It was a party after all.

    Summary

    "Stolas can’t stop thinking about what Blitzø said. What he called him. It shouldn’t hurt as much as it does. Certainly not now, weeks afterward, but it still does. Blitzø still comes over randomly, but even on his best days, Stolas can’t help but feel annoyed."
    OR
    Blitzø hurt Stolas and they both deal with the repercussions of it, despite Blitzø going on like everything is fine.

    Summary

    “No vitals were compromised,” he adds, undoubtedly looking for approval as if this were some kind of test. “At any rate, I am in excellent hands now. Thank you for sending help my way.”
    Blitzø should have been the help. He raises his shoulders defensively, hiding his face in the crook of his own neck.
    “The doctors said I will make a full recovery rather soon...?”
    Stolas sounds hesitant. It’s like he’s asking a question instead of providing more information. Is this what you seek, Blitzy? Is this the right answer?
    As is often the case with Blitzø, there is no right answer.

    (or: it took Blitzø a while, but he did show up at the hospital)

    Summary

    Laios stared at the door after him for a moment, trying to turn over the strange pang in his chest at him leaving. Why did it feel like something was missing from their goodbyes?

    He kept turning the thought over, flipping it like a coin. What was the feeling tugging at his chest? It felt familiar, akin the way he felt about monsters, but distinctly different. He was desperate to get closer to him, to understand him better, to know how he works. He thought he was gorgeous and could easily spend all day looking at him and not get bored. He wanted to be around him and he enjoyed that that was a perk of his role as King.

    However, no matter how he tried, he couldn't figure out the word for this damned nameless emotion.

    What was it?
