    Summary

    When the doorbell rings, Gerard's on his fourth attempt at frosting a rose.


    He blinks when he opens the door. Unable to do anything but stand there, silent.
    Elody has her hair up in a messy bun. Her heel taps out a pattern (impatiently? anxiously?) and she stares at him.
    Confused, he frowns, and she gestures at his outfit with a raised eyebrow. It's then Gerard remembers he's wearing the t-shirt Pinocchio picked out for him as a joke -- a bright pink one, that says in large cursive letters below a cartoon of a smiling frog: "Toadally Kissable."
    Elody tries and fails to hold back a smile. "Do you mind if I come in? To talk. I'll be quick."
    Gerard doesn't know what to think, much less what to say.
    Thankfully, the fire alarm goes off before he has a chance.


    Gerard and Elody learn to be friends, again. Featuring a baked good every chapter, a runaway bride, and a glassy catastrophe.

    Summary

    Hob knew, in their heart of hearts, hidden with all the letters he had received from Rue, that their love was one of wish. He was but a soldier, twisted and used by the Lord Blemish and Lady Boil in whatever court games they had thought up to amuse themselves. Even his appearance at the Bloom, as a bodyguard and spy, was only out of a desire to use his status and inability to lie as a way to entertain and gain insight.

    Summary

    "Y-You need calming?" Waterboy asks, confused, his brows knitting together slightly.

    Prism flinches internally, realizing she opened herself up to that question. She tosses it around in her brain, trying to determine each outcome. She could not tell Waterboy, tell him to shut the hell up and walk back inside- though that was cruel, even for her. Or, she could tell him, and be strangely emotionally vulnerable. That icks her out, but there is something about Waterboy that disarmed her an alarming amount. An embarrassing amount. It’s annoying that she even feels compelled to tell him, but that's just how he made people feel. How he makes her feel. Safe- emotionally, at least. She didn’t understand why.

    —------

    Waterboy and Prism talk on Robert’s balcony during his housewarming party, leading to unexpected bonding and an invite to Prism’s apartment in an attempt to understand.
