Summary
Columbina tilts her head. “Has it had any physical effects? Please indulge my lack of sight.”
Illuga frowns. “I don’t have any scars from the Hunter now, if that’s what you mean,” he says. “It’s as if I’d never been attacked in the first place.”
Aether’s hand hesitantly lands on Illuga’s shoulder. “I didn’t want to stress you out more until we could talk to Columbina, but now that we’re here, you should probably look at your reflection,” he says quietly, carefully.
His body stiffens in an instant, and that feeling of wrong, wrong, wrong hits him again full force. He steps out from under Aether’s touch and staggers on autopilot toward the closest pool of water. Illuga crouches down at the edge, pushing his fingers into his hair for some sort of grounding as he leans forward, lantern knocking against his thigh. He catches sight of his reflection, and his world tilts on its axis.
--
Illuga comes back from the dead more than human. All he can think about as he gets used to his new not fae, not human normal is Flins—and maybe how much his newfound state and Flins' habits have in common.

Summary
His heart is pounding so loud that he can’t hear Sethos’s hurried footsteps approaching him, can’t hear the way the bed creaks when Sethos sits down on it. He doesn’t realize what Sethos is doing until he feels a pair of strong arms wrapping around him, pulling him against a warm body. He doesn’t realize that his own body relaxes instinctively as he’s surrounded by the comforting scent of honey and smoke and rain. His head is pulled against Sethos’s shoulder, and there’s a hand stroking the back of his head softly. Words are being murmured to him, but he can’t make them out over the sudden sluggishness of his mind as the pain seems to melt away. The ache in his muscles means nothing against the warmth of Sethos’s body, and he’s releasing a relieved sigh. Despite the blanket having been pushed off his body, he doesn’t shiver, and his rapid breaths slow to something more lazy, his heart rate slowing down with it. He doesn’t open his eyes, but he doesn’t need to anymore, and his face is no longer pinched with pain. He is at peace.
Scara is changing in ways he isn't used to. Luckily, he isn't alone.

Something about your presence (has me by the grip) by Snufflefluck

Summary
“Story for another day, I think. Right now, I say we take in the view of the water.” Sethos sits down where he stands, his legs dangling off the edge of the cliff, squinting slightly as he gazes out at the water, appearing captivated by its glittering. His face scrunches up with the expression, his lips pulling into a frown, so Scara takes off his hat and places it on Sethos’s head instead. The man tenses, then relaxes, and he sends Scara a bewildered look, to which Scara just shrugs.
“You need it more than I do.” He answers coolly, unflinching under the scrutinizing stare Sethos pins him with. Whatever it was he was looking for, he seems to find it because he begins to smile, small but meaningful, and Scara can’t make heads or tails of it, of the way it makes him feel like he’s lost all the air in his lungs.
“Thank you,” Sethos says quietly, turning back to the water, and Scara nods numbly.
Sethos is a 'beta' who might smell a bit nicer than a beta ought to, something that definitely doesn't interest Scara at all, even when said beta turns out not to be a beta at all.

Summary
Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.
“Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
“Newton?”
“What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
“Dia-what?”
“Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
“...”
“Next.”It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.
“Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”
Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

Summary
Hat Guy scoffs, “How many times must I refuse a meal with you before you finally let it go?”
“As many as it takes to change your mind.” Sethos replies, “what can I say? I’m a people’s person, and you’re about the only person I have left to win over in this city.”
In which Sethos strikes a deal: if he successfully manages to figure out Hat Guy’s real name, he owes Sethos a date.
It can’t be that hard… right?
