Summary
this is a silly little project i am making [posting a chapter biweekly or more] and it focuses mainly on lilium white, the bestest character ever [mwah]. the year is in the 1970s, when an unspecified war takes place, and lilium chooses to become a soldier. Iris happens to also be around, taking the role of a painter and inventor, at the time of new ideas. They bring out aspects of eachother that neither of them seem to understand, and confuse eachother rather than become immediate friends like Heather wants them to be. After all, people who live in the same house should probably tolerate eachother, at least for the time being?

Summary
When he moved to Seattle years ago, Lillium wanted to start over. A new city, a new apartment, a new job in a fancy restaurant—a tidy life that had nothing to do with the one he had left behind. Until one night he meets Iris, a part-time worker at the local museum with unsettling dark eyes and glittery stars on his cheeks.
None of them had expected their life to change tonight. And yet, one single encounter is enough for their long-built order to start crumbling into dust.
In the end, they’re like every fragment of matter—inherently drawn to chaos.
[Or: Modern AU where they meet in their mid-twenties, as they try to navigate through life with all their unpacked baggage.]

Bitter Coffee, Sweet Smile by Stariceling for cerullusion

Summary
Lillium isn't making a habit of visiting a particular coffee shop. Or, if he is, it's not because he finds a particular barista there cute (also interesting, charming, and oddly soothing to be around.) Absolutely not. Iris just makes good coffee, that's all.
Lillium may be just a tiny bit in denial.
Iris is having a hard time believing his interest is ever going to be returned, given the way Lillium pretends not to notice.

Summary
He turned around and yelled at the top of his lungs. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?"
"Lillium?" "Mr. White?" "Head chef is here?"
They slowly turn to him, muttering to each other as if playing some fucked up, animalistic version of the telephone. They stare at him, as if to see who dared to interrupt them, but he doesn't falter.
The cooks can smell your fear.
That is if you had any left after three years of working with them.
And Lillium for sure didn't.
Though, it is quite concerning they can recognise him from just his yell.
or
Lillium and Iris work at a restaurant and cafe respectively. Their workplaces just happen to be adjacent to each other and separated by only a thin wall. Chaos and even romance ensues. -

Summary
Every escape attempt sees them separated, trapped, unable to move forward. With every failure, Lillium can only step back in time to the night before Iris's death. It’s like Washington State Lab itself refuses to let Iris go.
Lillium refuses to give up. He is getting Iris out, no matter what it takes.

Summary
Iris Black, who's pretty popular--if you want to put it like that--finds herself drawn to Lillium White, who's not so popular. If you want to put it like that.
/
They all went to dance, and the music was okay, and it was fun. But then Iris was looking across the gym, just sort of wondering who was sitting around, when her eyes landed on some girl she barely knew, for no reason at all: Lillium White. She was leaning against the exposed part of the bleachers with a couple of guys Iris didn’t recognize. She was wearing a dress, a shiny champagne thing with some ribbon-like pieces tied around her wrist and her neck. She looked really…good. “Hey, I didn’t expect a ton of people from my school here,” Iris said to Begonia.
“Who’s here?” Begonia said.
“Nobody, really,” Iris said. Lillium had caught sight of Iris’s staring. The eye contact was weirdly piercing, considering that Iris and Lillium only knew each other because they sat next to each other in AP Bio (assigned seating) and once had both, by coincidence, slipped out of fifth period to go to the vending machine near the lunch room at the same time. Lillium’s eyes—and Iris could barely see them, across the gym—were kind of mesmerizing.

“Perhaps there are worlds like this one: twisted yet similar. Perhaps there is a world in which nothing goes wrong, and perhaps there is one where everything goes right, and maybe, just maybe, there is one right in between.”

Summary
“Anyway.” He continued, marching on. “I think you’re amazing. I would follow you across the universe.”
“You’re so cheesy.”
“I think having you as my boyfriend, fake or real, is probably the best present I’ve ever gotten.” His voice got uncharacteristically soft, staring up at the tree behind them. Lillium’s face was awash with color, and Iris felt himself smile.
“Yeah, me, too.”
Iris squeezed his hand.
“Merry Christmas, Iris.”

Summary
Iris Black is dead.
Long live Iris Black.
//
For years, the lab was all he had. The rare gentle touches were his cravings. The instances in which he could get drunk and forget he was locked in, a lab rat in a cage. Coming and feeling satisfied, for once. Stray cats wandering near his only window, peeking their nose in and meowing loudly. Those placid treats, in his monotone gray - he misses them.Lillium’s hand curls around his, strong but with a loose enough grip that he could shake it off if he so wished.
Instead, he grips tighter.
He might not be able to reach out, but now, Lillium can do it for him.
Iris isn’t letting go.

Summary
“Oh my god,” Sera whispers, her voice hushed and secretive. She leans closer towards Begonia, clutching her arm. Her eyes are wide. “Do you see that?”
Begonia glances away from the blackboard for a second, frowning. “What?”
“Look.” She extends a manicured fingernail in the direction of the back of the class, pointing accusatorily. Begonia’s eyes follow it by instinct.
The only thing she can remark on is Iris shuffling and shifting on his seat from time to time, wincing awkwardly. Lillium rubs his back comfortingly. “I don’t get it.”
“It’s Lillium White,” Sera enunciates every syllable, drawing out the sounds and fluttering her eyelashes. “Lillium White, captain of the baseball team, hottest guy in the school?”
/ Or, the High School AU in which Lillium is a jock, Iris is a nerd, and they totally not, absolutely aren't dating. -

Summary
"Lillium looks at him while they’re in a shared class, his gaze warming up the back of his neck to the degree that his whole body feels hot. Lillium looks at him while they’re eating together in the Great Hall, laughing whenever he gets mashed potato on his nose (it’s not his fault forks are hard, okay?), and it’s so fond it makes his breath escape him. Lillium looks at him while they’re in the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, eyes turning shades darker the moment he leans forward to wipe the butterbeer foam from his lips. Lillium’s looked at him since they were kids, a familiar gaze tingling the back of his neck, keeping him safe.
Lillium just… he’s always looking."
