    Summary

    He finds it curious that she is not afraid, and he tells her as much.

    But there is nothing to be afraid of. If he was going to kill her, he would have done it already. If it were that easy, if it were that simple.

    Summary

    “You’re allowed,” his master tells him. “You did well.”

    There is no deception in his master’s eyes, none he can see, only dark, half-lidded magnetism. He is dizzy, and he is allowed, he did well, and if this is a trick, he is falling for it, hapless and selfish.

    Summary

    A funny story. Fate’s twisted sense of humor. Fate, which neither he nor Kuroro believe in. You dial, expecting some deus ex machina, and reach the stupid, suicidal kid whose lineage you’d wiped out instead. The death of you. I should’ve been the death of you. Now you’ve made me love you and I can’t bring myself to do it anymore.

    Summary

    They’ve been drinking, and it’s been a while, and Rosie isn’t exactly lonely but it’s a near thing. She’s going to have to do something about this sooner rather than later to keep from absolutely losing her mind.

    “Now, sugar,” she warns him, roughly, not unkindly, an animal growl low in her throat, “don’t go starting things you won’t finish.”

    Summary

    Alastor makes it a grand total of thirteen days before collapsing in the lobby. It’s an abjectly humiliating experience for the split-second he’s cognizant of what’s happening before everything goes utterly black.

    In which Alastor returns to the hotel and an olive branch is offered over coffee. It’s all very unexceptional.

    Summary

    “Do you get off on being difficult? Are you serious right now?” He swims into crystalline focus for an instant. Lucifer, real. In his bed. Straddling him, pinning him down with the sort of insurmountable strength that poses a problem on a good day, let alone—like this. The panic is back again. Tidal, overwhelming. Again and again and again. “Stop wriggling. Shit, what is wrong with you? Hey. Show me where you’re hurt. Now, please.”

    Or: Lucifer frees Alastor from his self-made cage. That doesn’t exactly fix everything.

    Summary

    It’s a unique reality to have to come to terms with. She never really had a choice: accept what is, or die. So she took it in stride. Traded one monster of a husband for another.

    And it’s funny, she thinks, that the demon is more human than the human could’ve ever hoped to be.

    Summary

    He doesn’t want Akaza to think that he has to give to be loved, not anything, not even the littlest piece of him. He can take. He can refuse. He can—

    “Anything you want, Kyojuro,” Akaza chooses, “I’m all yours.”

    Summary

    Kurapika doesn’t know what to do with Kuroro like this. Kuroro, the person, not the nightmare, dizzied and floating, glitter in his eyes as he stares up at Kurapika like he’s seeing heaven.

    Summary

    The enormity of the change he's stirred in Akaza terrifies him. Heartless, merciless, a hollow killer, centuries-old, twisted inside out like this.

    A tectonic shift in the balance of the world, in the tide of the fight that’s to come, all at the hands of one man.

    Summary

    “It wasn’t easy, you know, convincing Yaga to let me keep you around because your piercings are hot and you turn my guts inside out when I ask nicely.”

    You never ask nicely, baby, Suguru thinks. “Yeah, I can’t imagine that going over well.”

    A demure little hum, play-pretend. “Mm. I had to make up some lie, instead, to sway him. That you’re strong, and brilliant, and dangerous, and it’s better to keep all of that under lock and key on campus than to let it run amok. And some shit—you know, about how—I don’t want to lose you again. That I want—need you around.” His tone dips, a low and fragile thing. “I really missed having you around, Suguru, you know.”

    Summary

    “I’m a being of pure power,” Bill points out.

    “Were,” says Ford.

    Bill flicks his wrist and sends the molecular structure of Ford’s pencil out of whack. It goes all limp and pathetic between his fingers.

    “Are,” he insists. “Take me for a test drive, IQ.”

    Summary

    Kurapika is not seeking Kuroro’s redemption. That's the furthest thing from what he hopes to find at the end of this road.

    Sympathy isn’t forgiveness. Sympathy and resentment can coexist, and they do, and they make a battleground of the space between Kurapika’s ribs.

    Summary

    Angel leaves for work just after dinner.

    Husk watches him go. Dead eyes and a waggle of slender fingers, a goodbye. The door bangs shut like a death knell, and Husk knocks back two fingers of scotch.

    And he goes looking for a favor, bolt-cutters to break one chain in particular.

    Summary

    He trusts Alastor. To a degree. It fluctuates, that degree.

    It’s been on an upward trend despite his best intentions. He's opening his shriveled, disused heart to a common sinner and he’s—he’s surprised by how naturally it comes.

    In which Lucifer and Alastor play a very long, very atypical game of twenty questions.

    Summary

    It really is too easy, in this day and age, for a magician to perform a sleight of hand, a glass of rum and coke left unattended for a split-second, and voilà.

    Summary

    “You want me to stay,” he says. “You don’t forgive me, and you never will, but you want me to stay. Of your own free will, all this time, you’ve stayed, and you want me to stay, and you want me to want you. Tell me I’m wrong.”

    Summary

    In that realm that doesn’t exist, that Thistle wishes did, he’s blowing a kiss, his laughter hanging in the air, and he's disappearing through the doors with his collar undone and his throat marked up and his hair loose down his back, carefree, uninhibited, unafraid.

    Summary

    A joke is all it is, at first, well-intentioned but poorly timed, even more poorly executed. She ought to keep her tongue behind her teeth this late into the evening.
