Summary
The low affirmative noise that leaves Flins’ mouth lands on Varka’s lips. “I find myself unable to resist the opportunity to hide in plain sight like Miss Columbina. Your stay here is a fortuitous opportunity to practice.”
“Practice?” Varka pants, still confused but distracted enough by Flins’ clever fingers undoing his belt to care that he’s dumbly repeating what Flins is saying.
“Do you prefer the day,” Flins’ breath ghosts over the shell of Varka’s ear, “or the night?”
On the eve of Moon Prayer Night, Flins visits Varka at the Flagship.

Summary
This particular night, Demyan can’t help but notice that Flins and Varka are still on that first bottle of ice wine, glasses still half-full on the table in front of them. At some point during the night, Varka had eased his entire body into the sofa cushions until he was sprawling over more than half of it, his right thigh and foot pressed up against’ Flins’ own. Varka’s arm is wrapped around Flins’ shoulders and he’s laughing.
The flush in Varka’s cheeks and glimmer of mirth in Varka’s eyes leaves Demyan with the impression that Varka may not have stopped laughing over the past few hours.
Five times someone thought Flins and Varka were dating each other and the one time they were. Six outside perspectives on their relationship across the events of 6.0 and 6.1.

Letters to Final Night Cemetery by AppleSharon

Summary
An odd flower falls out from the envelope when Flins turns it in his hands. Small seeds with tiny feathered tufts scatter across the pages of the file he had been reading.
Are all Ratniki as mysterious as you?
Flins rereads these words in Varka's near-incomprehensible scribble. He hears them in Varka's voice. He sees Varka's smile. Feeling his mouth curl upwards in spite of himself, Flins wonders when Varka will tire of asking questions to which he already knows the answers.
After a run-in with Flins at the lighthouse, Varka suggests they write letters to each other to stay in touch. Their friendship grows into something much larger than either of them had initially imagined.

The Art of First Impressions by Ghost_Implant

Summary
Being a bartender for a fairly popular nightclub wasn’t something Phainon ever anticipated doing, but he found he rather liked it. It paid well, he got to meet interesting people, and there was never a boring shift. The one downside was the odd hours, which has the unfortunate result of getting to meet his ridiculously hot neighbor at 2 AM while in his boxers and covered in glitter. None of their subsequent meetings go any smoother either. That’s fine, he’ll just keep trying until they finally hit it off. Too bad that in all his talk about working at a club, dealing with drunk and handsy patrons, and being paid a lot in cash he never thought to specify that he’s a bartender.
Meanwhile, Mydei's just trying to settle in his new apartment. Frequently running into his stripper neighbor was not something he anticipated having to deal with.

Summary
If someone had asked Phainon how many people had drawn art of him and Mydei kissing even an hour ago, he would have very confidently answered zero. And he would have confidently bet money on that being the correct answer.
It turned out that the actual answer was far more than zero. There were many people drawing art of him kissing Mydei, and many people writing about him being in a romantic relationship with Mydei. Now, if only Phainon could figure out exactly why this discovery was making him feel so weird.
