Theta is practiced in the art of scientific experimentation but unpracticed in the art of manicures. Koschei is indescribably fond, despite it all.
A little bit of slice of life fluff written for the Decamber 2023 day 1 prompt, “polish.”

Summary
"The presence of anyone more overwhelming than his own daemon was like paddling into the ocean; his feet could occasionally touch the bottom, but more often than not waves buoyed him up and away from anything concrete."

Summary
The Dust is always the worst part of any crime scene. It doesn’t matter how many classes on forensics and Rusakov particles or the origins of daemons someone took, there was a deep and visceral horror at seeing the bodies, absent of their daemons, swirled instead with glittering gold.

It was strange how the unforgiving bite of the ocean let Will allow himself the quiet comfort of a stream.

Summary
Post-fall, Hannibal and Will escape to Europe, wounded and hurting. Very quickly things turn bad, and Will seeks to hide them both away on a small island in the Mediterranean, to cut them off from the world and for them to be alone together. He needs to understand how he has changed Hannibal, and what that change means for Hannibal's behaviour. He also has to come to terms with their growing intimacy, both emotional and physical. But Hannibal finds it difficult to stay hidden away and when they meet others on the island, Hannibal tries to persuade him into killing them.

Summary
Trapped in a system where omegas are little more than trophies to be bought and sold, Will Graham has done the unthinkable by escaping a forced bonding. Already in high demand as a profiler, Will's determined to find freedom on his own terms.
For Hannibal Lecter the outlook is far more straightforward: a slow, systematic seduction of the most uniquely captivating omega he's ever encountered.
As the shadow of a new and terrifying serial killer falls over Baltimore, the stage is set to redefine all accepted meanings of passion, temptation, horror and beauty – and to discover the ecstasy of a genuine love crime.

Summary
“Our line sustained a lot of damage when - with everything that happened yesterday.” Adam traces the line that flows perpendicular across the state, extending it westward. “It set off a kind of chain reaction that’s made it leaky in a lot more places than just Henrietta. If we want the power of the line back, I’m going to have to travel to fix it.”
The power of the line back. Blue looks up at Adam sharply, hope swelling in her chest. “You mean - Noah? We can get Noah back?”
“That’s the plan,” Gansey says, resting his hand lightly over her fingers, which are still clutching his shoulder. The fervent light filling his eyes makes sense to her now. This is Gansey without Glendower. This is Gansey with a new, even more desperate quest.Or; Post TRK, the Raven Gang goes on a Feels Trip. I mean a Road Trip. Sure.
NOTE: written pre-TRK, thus, is not TRK compliant.Series
