    Summary

    Lestat loved them. That’s the beginning and the end of it.
    Lestat loved them so hard it broke them apart. Lestat called it devotion, but it was possession. He called it family, but he built a house of ghosts.
    They were the light, and he was the hunger. The mistake. The wound that kept reopening. He’ll tell you how he counted the seconds while bleeding out, how Louis kissed him like a funeral, how he smiled and lied to himself one last time.
    This is not a confession.
    It’s not an apology.
    It’s just the truth, from the lips of a liar.

    Summary

    "When you turn to dust, I won’t sweep you up," Lestat drawls from the stairs.

    Louis smoothes his thumb over the blistering skin pulled taut across his knuckles.

    "I will leave you there in a pile until the wind blows you into the streets of your beloved city."

    Or: A conversation about sunlight and martyrdom.

    Summary

    They had met again in a sinful corner in Kabukichō by fate, it seems. It wasn’t entirely Megumi’s conscious choice to find himself there and it certainly wasn’t Yūji’s decision to be seen by someone from his past in such current life circumstances.

    However, Megumi can’t be happier now, and even if he isn’t a knight in shiny armor for Yūji... Well, Megumi doesn’t exactly care.

    Summary

    “Ugh,” Harry’s stomach grumbled, “Do you serve food?”

    Her expression turned immediately apologetic, “We do, but unfortunately reservations are required,”

    “Potter? Is that you?” Harry turned to look over his shoulder and froze.

    Approaching him, a polite frown on his brow, was Draco Malfoy.

    He’d always stood a few inches taller than Harry, but he suddenly seemed exceptionally tall and regal in his baby pink, velvet suit jacket, his smart black trousers and his crisp white shirt and matching white bow tie. His hair, though cut short at the sides and around the back, was longer and coifed back stylishly at the top. Did he… did he find Malfoy attractive?

    Oh. Oh, Merlin no.

    Harry would never have believed the difference that just one long weekend could make.

    Summary

    Pat is an overlooked nurse at Atalanti General Hospital. His days are filled with appointments, assisting doctors and caring for the unwell.

    Until someone attempts to assassinate President Atremenos.

    What follows is not definable, as Pat's anonymity comes to an end and he is thrust upon a pedestal like he is a king amongst nobles by some of the highest echelons in Greek politics. Pat struggles with becoming the apparent centre of the world, but more importantly...

    Why do these people keep asking for his name when he has given it three times already?

    Summary

    Sharp green eyes stare back at Eiji. Only for a moment, and then those eyes close shut, face relaxed. Completely and perfectly asleep. Except the hair on the back of Eiji's neck has stiffened— that same feeling Eiji learned to listen to when he was nineteen because it means something isn’t right (before he even learned just how things can go so terribly wrong). Ash is asleep, to anyone else, but Eiji knows what his husband looks like actually tired from a long day, and this smaller, stiffer version is certainly not the same man that fell in bed with him last night.

    A man... this looks like a child.

    Or, a 30-year-old Ash is swapped out with a 15-year-old Ash, and Eiji's just along for the bumpy ride.

    Summary

    Achilles tells Patroclus of his desires and his affections, in all the ways he knows how.

    “What would you have me sing?”

    “Now that we are alone? Something of your own, I should think.” Patroclus’ hand, calloused and warm, rests on his bare knee where his skirt rides high. He smiles at Achilles. “Tell me of your desires, again.”

    (00:32) Some of the numbers do look a little dodgy...

    Summary

    “I’ve always pitied Daedalus,” said Patroclus. “The cruel tricks that gods put mortals through. Freedom in exchange for his son’s death.”

    “Don’t speak so harshly,” Achilles teased, swiping his thumb across Patroclus’ cheek. “Your tongue may very well put us in trouble one day. And besides, the recklessness of man can’t be blamed on the gods every time.”

    -

    Before Troy, Patroclus tells Achilles stories.

    Summary

    When the stars all blink open against the sky and the water of the pond turns ink-like, shimmering, Griff passes the flashlight to Ash and guides him to the edge.

    “You ready?” Griff asks.

    Crouching at the perimeter, the water is black and alien, still moving. Like if Ash brought his fingers too close it’d pull him in and swallow him.

    “Turn on the flashlight and shine it onto the pond, close to us.”

    Summary

    As he’s being beckoned over with unstable waves, Megumi thinks Itadori might be turning him reckless as well. Or maybe he’s always been reckless, and that’s why he hangs around someone he spends too much time looking at the lips of, too much time thinking about pressing into a bed, holding close and burying his face into pretty pink hair.

    It's a normal Tuesday evening, and Megumi should be going home.

    Summary

    “You have...” The stranger points on his own cheek. “... a bruise.”   

    “Yeah, genius,” Megumi says, intentionally making it sound rude so the boy can get a free ticket to walk away from him. But as if the stranger pushed Megumi’s hand away to refuse the ticket, he says,   

    “Wait here.” The stranger, then, puts his manga down next to Megumi. 

    [Megumi meets a stranger who gives him a can of grape soda and a pain-relief patch.]
