    Summary

    Something in G’raha stirs. He wants to hook his fingers under that knot and pull, see the Warrior’s eyes slide shut and his mouth open. He wants to erase this awful weight; wants the only fate Arkin feels the tug of to be the one right before them, narrowed to this moment.

    Or: The Warrior of Light knows how to tie himself up. After enduring a century of longing, the Crystal Exarch knows too.

    Summary

    The first time it happened was the third time they’d had sex, and Chuuya pulled away as soon as he noticed it. “Are you okay?” he asked.
    Dazai gave him a confused look. Chuuya felt a wave of relief at making the right decision—Dazai just hadn’t been enjoying it. He maybe hadn’t even known that he hadn’t been enjoying it. The relief grew into pity.
    “I’m okay,” Dazai said, predictably.

    Summary

    Stelmaria had always—even in the early days, when his eyes were mismatched and she held a bow instead of an epée—had trouble meeting those striking eyes. 

    She felt unbearably seen by them.

    The worst, most revolting parts of her turned over, accepted and adored. 

    Her past and future laid before him for his perusal. 

    All of her deception and subterfuge laid to waste in his sanguine gaze.

    Emet-Selch lingers like an impolite ghost in the back of G'raha and Stelmaria's minds, even after everything. Suffice to say, they don't handle it well.

    Summary

    The Warrior of Light answers the call to the First and among the light-ravaged land of Norvrandt finds something wholly unexpected: the time and the peace to remember what it is to be merely human rather than the Weapon of Light. The allies he kept at arm's length so long become family, and finally, here in this most doomed of lands, is some comfort from war and all it has taken from him.

    Or

    The Exarch will stop at nothing to save his inspiration, even from the darkness inside the Warrior of Light's own heart and mind.
