Summary
During his night in the Old Library, Robin witnesses a quiet a moment.
"You're so thin," Anthony whispers into the space between them, so quiet Robin wouldn't hear if it wasn't for the fact that the library is even quieter. "You do worry me sometimes."
Griffin's head lowers, his forehead brushing against Anthony's. "You shouldn't." And then, with some of his usual dryness, "I'm fine."
Anthony shakes his head. "No," he says, somewhat strangled. "You're not." -

Summary
"His chest ached for Ramy so much it could burst, and he wondered if he might collapse on the floor and dissolve, as surely the feelings coursing through his body were too overwhelming for one person to hold inside. Robin imagined himself turning into a molten pool of silver."
[or, Robin and Ramy leave the ball feeling not too great. Robin gets overwhelmed with his feelings and tells Ramy about his existential dread which leads to Ramy letting slip that he has feelings for Robin]
TW: some suicidal ideation , talk of death and dying

Summary
Victoire wakes to the sound of a starling murmuration passing over Oxford, a vision of sugar pearls painted on waves of dark chocolate wings. It’s red and dark out, though the horizon—or what little of it isn’t obscured by the skyline—glows like brightest noon.
Victoire pushes back her sheets and immediately notices that she’s somehow even more tired than before. It’s oppressive now, a shard of hurt in her chest, dulled by the disorientation, intensified by memories. She can’t do this. She cries. She drops out of her bed and plods over to the window; they’re two stories up, hardly high enough to break an arm. And yet her head is so heavy, her legs lame, and she wants to sink into the floor and then some, keep sinking until there’s no light to remember she’d ever been born at all.
Victoire tries to save her cohort. Time travel + slice of life.
(TW for suicidal ideation and mentions of character death)

The next morning, Ramiz found him on the deck, leaning against the railing and obviously brooding.

"That I love you," Robin answered. He wouldn't look at Ramiz. "And that… last night can't happen again."

Summary
“Birdie,” Ramy echoes his trill, as always. It’s almost enough, just to hear his name spill from his lips. Almost, but Robin finds himself a hair away from becoming a creature of desire, because he wants—more. Embarrassingly.
Robin doesn’t know what that more entails. He doesn’t know if he ever does when he’s with Ramy. It’s all burning and bright and nothing. It’s all freezing and dim and everything. Ramy gives it, though. Impossibly, every time, every interaction leaves Robin sated whilst knowing he’ll be back for more, like clockwork.
robin swift and the conflicting & humiliating feelings of desire.*

Summary
He presented him with the origami in his hands, cradled like it was something precious.
“It’s a crane.”
“It’s beautiful.”
“Yes, it is.”
Their eyes met, and something hung heavy in the air. Ramy spoke again, his voice tender and oh-so vulnerable. “Robin, are you going to give one to the girls too?”
He opened his mouth to speak but thought better of it. It seemed the logical thing to do, to give one to the girls as a token of friendship, but as Ramy’s gaze burned his skin, he got the impression that this was not the answer that Ramy wanted.
“No. No, I’m not.”

Summary
“At this, Ramy stood up and spun around the room to the music. Robin followed him with his eyes. Even after 3 years, it was moments like this that still left Robin in awe of Ramiz Rafi Mirza, and the way he could transform the world around them.”
Robin and Ramy debate the linguistics of music and dance, because they deserve to dance together.
