    Summary

    “No it's-” He cut himself off, “This is gonna sound really egotistical.”

    Roy laughed slightly. “You know I love hearing about you, c'mon.”

    Jason turned his head away briefly before looking back and speaking. “The Argonautica. It's the story of Jason and the Argonauts."

    -

    Jason's a nerd, sick and in love and Roy is two of those things and he is perfectly healthy.

    Summary

    When he was still alive, it seemed Willis couldn’t stop breaking the law for more than three months at a time. The inevitable moment he’d trade solid employment and routine hours for handguns and drug rings always came, no matter how good the goings were. The danger of the streets called him home like a lover. It was incomprehensibly stupid to Jason then.

    But oh he gets it now.

    Summary

    It was a Tuesday, and Enjolras was late for his lecture. He was late, it was raining, the buses weren’t running, and he had three papers to write that weren’t going to get done in time. It didn’t matter. The empire was falling at last, and he cared. He could see the Bastille being stormed before his eyes.

    Summary

    Henry is living a Homeric epic. Sophia’s life is more like a fragment from Sappho. Neither realises their story was born from a Greek tragedy.

    A year before Richard’s arrival to Hampden, a physics major tries to join Julian’s class. She’s summarily dismissed, but keeps running in to Henry. As Sophia is drawn into his orbit, the question becomes: is it possible to avert tragedy, or is she an unwitting witness to the inevitable?

    Summary

    Love, a sacrificial rite of conflicting devotion, where duty to the hearth wrestles with the fever of the altar of Eros.

    A Roman feast, a very persistent host who oversteps boundaries, and a Germanic who really doesn’t do feelings. Chaos, pushing past walls they thought unbreakable and questionable life choices guaranteed.

    Summary

    Eren has forced the Survey Corps' hand into conducting the raid on Liberio.

    Jean must conduct a simple reconnaissance mission before the attack commences, leaving no trace and forming no attachments.

    -

    There is something about it all - the sand beneath you, Eren's piercing gaze in front of you, the sudden dead stillness and silence in the air, the feeling that comes over your entire body - that forces the absolute truth out of you. ''I love him.''

    ''I know.''

    ''I wish I had never met him.''

    ''I know.''

    ''Will he know that I had a choice?''

    ''He already knows. Eventually, he'll remember.''

    Summary

    Truth be told, Hannibal does not remember much of what happened after. He remembers black waves and the choking sensation of salt water as it poured into his throat, the wild, buffeting current and the scrape of rocks against his back carving gashes in his flesh and mingling his blood with the water at the same time that the sea salt cleansed his raw wounds. He remembers Will’s arm around him like a tightening rope, firm and unmistakable. He does not remember how Will must have dragged his limp, unconscious body onto the small pebble beach downshore, where the boat – Will’s boat – was waiting.

    After the fall, Hannibal finds himself on a boat with Will, headed for the Greek isles. Unsure if Will still wishes to kill him after their escape, and unwilling to believe that the life he’d once dreamed of for them is coming to fruition at last, Hannibal resolves to wait and see what Will has planned for the two of them. Slowly, the two of them renegotiate their understanding of where they stand with each other.

    or: Hannibal and Will play domestic gay murder chicken in Greece

    Summary

    "Now, however, Hermione has a kind of propitious agnition and no longer sees that mendacious veil over the watery irises; without the dogmas imposed by her lineage, Draco Malfoy's eyes are just filled with melancholy, sadness, affliction. Hermione peers into them with a shiver down her spine; thus, without all that mask he wore before the war, Draco's eyes are the exact same color as her father's shirt. It had been astonishing to see him re-enter the school corridors; the trial against his family weighed like a boulder on the boy's head, and Hermione recalls with a shudder how, while being questioned, Malfoy had seemed to her just like a Prometheus bound to a Scythian cliff, surrounded by vultures and birds of prey ready to consume his torn liver. Draco, however, had done nothing heroic, unlike Prometheus; he had not stolen fire for the good of mankind, but had enslaved himself to his family's will like a coward."

    Summary

    Companion piece to Aubade, told from Hans' perspective.

    Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
    And thou shalt hear: "All here in one bed lay."

    - The Sun Rising, John Donne

    There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to prepare.
    - The Charioteer, Mary Renault

    Summary

    The angels, behind them, sit back and strike their harps through the shadows, rousing the cicadas once more into ensemble. The willow leaves whisper back in response, shushing them, willing their tymbals to quiet down, and listen.

    “Jimin.” Minjeong sighs. Sinks. “Tell me again.”

    (Please, feed it to me in prose, not in iambs, not in dactyls; not in verse, not in—)

    Jimin’s voice arrives half-steady, soft. Heaven-wrought and bleeding reverent.

    “I like the way you say things.”

    (Tell me, so I can hear it, so I can feel it vibrate against my skin; so I can test it on my tongue to know it’s—)

    Minjeong’s breath catches.

    Then—

    “Again.”

    Minjeong struggles to separate desire from divinity when Jimin, their resident graduate student for the summer, arrives at their home.

    Summary

    Thomas Lawrence buckles under the presure of his penance as Vincent Benítez falls apart at the realisation that his love is killing his beloved. Ruin and destruction haunts them as they navigate their feelings for one another, until life forces its hand and salvation is, miraculously, within reach.

    A slightly experimental piece featuring erotic gore as a metaphor for intense emotions, and the horror of realising that perhaps one is deserving of love, after all.
