    Summary

    The day Therion fell was the day it all should have ended. And maybe it had, he can't be sure if he's alive or dead anymore. Man or monster. It's one more reason for him to push people away. He can't risk anyone finding out.

    Or worse, that he might actually start to care.

    Summary

    Honestly, it’d be more surprising were Zeph not in love with one Alfyn Greengrass. Maybe before she left so many years ago, Mercedes knew this, too. Zeph does care for her a great deal, and maybe had a bit of a crush on her as well in time’s past, but it’s impossible to ignore how his heart always leads back to a pair of warm brown eyes and scruff he’s longed to feel under his touch for years on end.

    Zeph glances back to the parchment, full of scribbled out words and near-admissions of love. He sighs, bites at his lip, and crumples it up before placing it to the side.

    -

    The day before Alfyn leaves, Zeph finds himself with an important task: write a letter to one Alfyn Greengrass without admitting he's terribly in love with the man.

    Summary

    It doesn’t take too long for tears to come. There’s never been any shame in crying, and so Alfyn lets them slide down his cheeks without any attempt to hide them. He sniffles softly as Zeph somehow manages to pull him in closer. Warm lips brush over a mess of blonde hair, soft words to follow.

    “I miss her too, Alf.”

    He doesn’t reply just yet. It’s better to let himself cry it out, clear his thoughts. Zeph knows this better than anyone, and Alfyn can never thank him enough for his patience.

    On the anniversary of the passing of his mama, Alfyn seeks comfort in the shelter of his husband's arms.

    Summary

    As always, it warms Cyrus’ heart to see how simple it is to make his nieces happy. Having such skill with children isn’t a skill he quite expected to have in his repertoire, but it’s rewarded him in spades. Odette said while his past job may have influenced this some, she believes his good heart is the true factor in this equation. He’s always been of the amicable sort, after all.

    Perhaps there’s a magic of his own Cyrus is discovering. To think he’d be the student in this situation after all these years… with a smile, he shakes his head as more ice crystals dance around his fingers.

    Summary

    “And that’s why I need a boyfriend really urgently.”

    Zeph laughs on the other side of the phone call and while Alfyn doesn’t think the situation is funny at all, he could see why it sounded absolutely ridiculous. Out of nowhere the soon-to-be doctor desperately needs a boyfriend to impress his mother, it was so stupid and yet that’s the mess he had gotten himself into.

    ------

    In which Alfyn needs Therion to pretend to be his boyfriend and catches the feels all too fast, then struggles with this realization for all too many chapters.

    Summary

    Try as he may to quell the butterflies in his stomach, Cyrus finds it impossible. He fidgets in front of the mirror, fingers tapping against his thighs—and when not doing that, they travel through his hair and over his suit. These nerves far outrival anything he’s ever felt, and perhaps the last time he was so nervous was before leading his very first lecture. The closest example that comes to mind revolves around Odette—trying to confess, deciding when to propose—and how she dares to steal the air from his lungs with naught but a smile.

    -

    The travelers reunite once more, and for quite the wonderful purpose: the wedding of Cyrus Albright and Odette, and to celebrate all the joy that follows.

    Summary

    As Alfyn’s hands continue to tremble, breath lodged in his throat, he feels Zeph’s head rest against his shoulder. It’s a familiar notion. When Alfyn’s mama passed, when he stood at her grave and wept, Zeph leaned against him, silent as their fingers intertwined. It did nothing to abate the tears back then, and in the present, Alfyn fears they’re to start once more as Zeph’s hair brushes against his neck.

    “I’m right here, Alf.” His voice carries the gentleness of the river.

    Adults can cry too, Alfyn’s always told himself. He knows there lies no shame in letting his heart go. The release will help, it’ll crack the foundation of guilt he’s put himself upon, infinitesimal as it may be.

    “I—” Alfyn sucks in a breath, and feels himself crumple before the words come. “I hurt someone, Zeph.”

    -

    Alfyn's return to Clearbrook offers many familiarities, and is reminded of the most important one of all: no matter what he has been through, Zeph will always be at his side.

    Summary

    Alfyn’s always loved the spring—it’s the season of growth and rebirth, breathing new life into Clearbrook after yet another winter’s come to pass. The thin layer of ice over the river breaks off and flows downstream as small flowers begin to sprout from once-dried grasses. Birdsong returns to greet the early mornings, traces of frost melting away under warm sunshine. Even the air itself smells cleaner, but it’s not as if that’s a hard thing to find in his little corner of Orsterra.

    ------

    It's a normal day in Clearbrook for Alfyn: he thinks of how much he loves Zeph and their family, and how happy he is that they've finally become fathers.
