    Summary

    As soon as the meeting was over, Marius fled, as quickly as he had the last time Enjolras had devoted the better part of an evening to yelling at him, and Combeferre turned to Courfeyrac. “I believe you may have broken the boy,” he said evenly.

    Summary

    Half the time, he's there at band practice, exquisite fingers flawless over the keyboards. Half the time, he's working as a florist, hands concealed under unwieldy gloves. Flake is an overt realist and remains only partially committed to the fledgling band; Richard is an overt perfectionist and seeks to complete the puzzle. [An interpretation of Du Riechst So Gut '95. Set through late 1994-mid 1995. Richard/Flake, maybe preslash Till/Richard and Till/Flake and Paul/Flake depending on how much you like to read into things. Read all warnings.]

    Summary

    Paul grips his bible just a bit tighter. He's always been fond of fire, the warmth and comfort it brings on a cold, unforgiving night, but now...
    He shudders despite the fire blazing away in front of him.
    He dares not show it.

    Richard knows the Lord must be testing him. He has awoken with the taste of ash in the back of his throat the last three days, and the shadows of the night have seemed longer and darker despite the arrival of summer.
    He spends another night sleepless.
    The cigarette in his mouth blazes away.

    Oliver hasn't taken his hood off in days now. There have been shapes at the edges of his vision, things that he dares not name for fear of giving them power.
    There's a flicker of a claw right where he cannot see it.
    He averts his gaze.

    Christoph grips his rosary, and the pressure grounds him for just a moment. The rest have all been distant lately. He doesn't want to think about what happened to Paul.
    He can't help but think about it.
    He winds the rosary tighter.

    Christian feels the fire before he sees it. The ash in his mouth chokes him, and the heat is unbearable.
    He feels crumbling hands grab him, pulling him down.
    He prays.
